1. Can't wait! I'll have my popcorn ready and shotgun handy!!! n/t

[Baclava]

2. they need to get back on the road again

buh-bye barn

3. As soon as they revealed that the barn was full of walkers, I knew Sophie was one of them.

The last 10 minutes of the last episode were quite powerful. I'm really curious to see how the band of survivors continues on from here. And I agree, they need to leave Hershel's farm behind, especially now that they no longer have the search for Sophie to make them stay put.

Excited for Sunday's premiere episode!

5. If you watched the new trailer - it would seem they might be leaving.

As for Sophie - it blew me away - I never saw that coming.

12. to me it was the best part of the series so far

so much of it has seemed so derivative, but watered down, that was a good rough punch.

eta it is kind of like a zombie soap opera. I think that zombie's stop being scary if you have enough time to think about it.

[Baclava]

14. Non-stop zombie killing vs. killing off the popular characters

aye, that's the rub

[d_r]

18. they're pretty slow

just hit em in the head and call it a day

[Baclava]

19. maybe they'll quicken up - it's warm out - - I smell poetic license

ya never know with new age zombies looking for an audience

[my2sense]

4. I thought you meant

McCain was jumping into the Rep primary.

[Baclava]

6. ha! - or Fred Thompson?

he always looked like a walker to me

[NewJeffCT]

7. I hope the pace picks up a bit in the second half

I thought the first episode of season 2 was good, as well as the last. However, the five episodes in between could have been condensed down to 2. The slow pace could have been due to the well publicized budget cuts.

I didn't see the Sophia as a walker scenario because the comic book Sophia is still alive through 90+ issues.

9. I've been reading the books too.

I'm glad they're developing a story for the TV series that breaks away from the original material a bit, otherwise we would know what to expect. It keeps it exciting!

Also, it has been really interesting to see how they have been developing Shane's character for the TV series. He died way too early in the books.

8. Thank you for the heads-up!

I've been too busy to keep up with what's on TV. I'll be sure to DVR it.

17. a Walking Dead marathon - that's what winter's for - I say!

I'm ready with the popcorn

[WiffenPoof]

10. Forget Walking Dead...

I'm waiting for the new season of Mad Men!

-P

11. I'll have to wait for the Amazon Stream.

AMC not on our tier.

13. IMneverHO, the absolute best thing on TV by far (OK, followed closely by "Breaking Bad").

It's rare that I do kind of a daily countdown to any series' "New Season"... but I've been
kicking down the walls of my stall on this one.
.
.
.
Didn't see Sophia coming at all -- HEART-WRENCHING -- her almost inaudible vocalizations
sounded like nothing but confusion and sadness to me... I had never gotten that impression
from ANY zombie before.
.
.
.
I don't WANT to read the written words as I want new episodes to be completely fresh --
maybe AFTER it's over.

15. I take that as an approval note

dots make me dizzy

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. Me, too.

.
.
.
At my age... in my condition... dots are one of the few intoxicants I can still handle.
.
.
.
.
.
I wonder if there's such as thing as DA meetings?

Hi, I'm MFM... and I'm a dottaholic.

.
.
HI, MFM!!!!!!

20. The Walking Dead and American Horror Story are the only shows I really like.

Should I be worried?

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. I've never seen AHS, but I've never been a fan at all of zombie movies and such.

.
.
.
I think I'm not much of a fan of moldering decay.
.
.
.
But "The Walking Dead", though it has GREAT make-up and prosthetic effects, doesn't
really FOCUS on that aspect -- so, at least THAT show wouldn't make me think any the
less of anyone.
