The Walking Dead, Am I Alone?

I have it on my list on Netflix and plan on watching it maybe this weekend.
 

Thanks, AprilT. I do hope I like it. I'll let you know after I've watched the first one.

I was just wondering, are any tv watchers out there looking forward to the upcoming season of TWD. Most watchers don't need me to spell out the initials, but for others I'm talking about The Walking Dead.

I've never liked this genre of tv or movies, but from the first time I wached the reruns of season one on netflix, I was hooked. So now, I live and breath this show during the season it's on. Well this and a few other shows, but none as much as this one.

I can't be the only on the site that loves this show, will I always have to go rehash what happened on the previous show over elsewhere with those half my age. :sorrow::wiggle:

LOL! Well, thanks for the love, that goes a long way in this world, but, I've been lucky also to find some other dead heads here who have been and still are sharing the love for this show.

Still appreciate the love though. :D You wouldn't happen to have any love for the series "Game Of Thrones" while we're spreading all this love around would ya? LOL!

My son was into D&D, and I have been a board gamer all of my life. Invented quite a few for my own benefit. Right now I am modifying a game called "Mystic Wood" into a solo to play by myself. It will be a fantasy game. For some reason most of the fantasy movies don't do it for me. The old Ray Harryhausen stuff was great. "Jason and the Argonauts", the "Sinbad" series. "Eaters of the Dead" was another good movie. So was the book. Great mood creator. It made me research the history behind it. At any rate, I don't get "Game of Thrones" with my cable package. Enjoy!

Jason And The Argonauts was one of my absolutely most favorite childhood movies of that genre, Sinbad was up there too. But, Game of Thrones is more realistic in how people feel and treat one another if you ask me and made for an older audience, definitely not for the generation of children who watched the shows in your listing. Sir Lancelot movies were another favorite. I'm quite fond of the movies, but not into the games or gaming themes of that kind, though I had joined a board gaming group, but, I was looking to play games such as scrabble and monopoly. :D They, on the other hand, would indulge me on occasion, but, they were primarily into something more on the lines of what you mentioned. I've never been into Dungeons and Dragons, it took me till just now to even figure out those initials you listed for it. LOL, I may be a nerd, but, not that much of a nerd. :p

I got the first 4 seasons through my library, one set at a time. You can get it on netflix, but you have to pay extra or you have to have an HBO account. I just ordered it, for free from my library, I've been watching it for the past couple of weeks and just picked up the 4th season yesterday. I go on line and go to the library catalog and place a hold, sometimes it's available right away, sometimes it takes a week, as did season 1, and 4 took to get there for me to pick up. But, by the end of the weekend, I will have gone through all 4 seasons in less than a month and I will likely pay to see season 5 since it just started back up on HBO. I love Game Of Thrones so much and it doesn't repeat like TWD, so I plan to buy the series, so I may rewatch it at my leisure. I've been looking at copies on ebay, the prices aren't bad at all. Or maybe I'll just put it on my must have gift receiving holiday list. :D

:) Hi there Thomas. I missed the chats, but, have a new love/show to fill the gap, though it would have been nice to have my walking dead buds to share in the conversations. Regardless, I'm glad to see you revive this thread I almost forgot about the upcoming new series "Fear The Walking Dead." I checked the link, but I didn't see an exact start date, do you know when it will start. I am looking forward to watching it especially since I'm coming to the end of watching the videos of "The Game Of Thrones."

Really appreciate the links.

And yes, if they bump Michonne off, I'd be really ticked off.

Hi April, Fear The Walking Dead is listed as starting in August 2015(YaY!) ;) I can handle that, makes waiting for TWD starting in October a little more bearable.

Is Game Of Thrones available on Netflix?

Hi Thomas, you have to pay extra to watch, GOT, via netflix. What I did was I placed holds via my library for each of the full seasons, I got them rather fast.

I'm now taking my time viewing season 4 of which, I'm sad to say, I'm not as happy about as I was viewing season 1-3; this one, season 4, is way more violent and cruel and less stimulating for the mind, though end of 3 wasn't a friendship party either for most and there was lots of bloodshed that was quite upsetting. I really enjoyed much of the dialogue featured in the other seasons, this one is more killing, and some characters are moving into less believability or something about them seems less formidable as they appeared previously, and not just due to what they went through, but, I'm only four hours in, maybe it will change since I have six more hours to go. There was however, one death, that was more glorifying to watch, but, at the same time, it was hard to enjoy as much as I would have liked considering I was caught up in certain sad emotions for another character at the time. It was a wild scene on so many fronts. Now that I think back on it, kind of makes up for the rest of those hours. LOL! Now I can't wait to get back to watching the rest of the show, but, with just six hours left, I want it to be the last thing I watch before closing my eyes to night, I want to savor the memory, till I can get my hands on the slow pace of watching season 5 which just started in the past month or so on HBO of which I will have to pay to see.

Thanks, just saw this...will look into it at my library but will watch TWD first.
 
Thanks to you April and comments from others, I have just started watching the show on Netflix. I have viewed the first four shows of Season One. It is one strange show and the visuals of the zombies show a remarkable make up job. I will continue watching.
 
LynnD, Welcome! Hope you will enjoy the show as much as many of us have.

Lon, always nice to hear from other members who've tuned in, I hope you will continue to enjoy watching the show. It will have it's low points in some seasons, but, it really picked back up this past season and many of us are waiting with great anticipation for it to come back on in the fall.
 
I just finished watching the first episode and I'm LOVING it!

I have a question though, towards the end; why didn't his partner and his wife recognize his voice over the radio?

Also.....his partner kissed his wife? Hmmmm

Well, Rick's wife and his partner had struck up a relationship; I believe Rick's wife Lori thought that he was dead, I'm not sure about Rick's partner Shane, if he knew Rick was still alive, but wanted Lori...or if it just seemed that way.
 
I'm soooooooooooo gathered. I also keep forgetting about the webisodes of walking dead. What I need to do is get off this pc for a bit, I have my netflix turned on but haven't picked what I want to watch just yet, cause of people like you keeping me interested in chatting. But, time to make the cut in a minute or to.

But yay, can't wait for the show to begin.

I'm sorry, my Sister from other parents. :D, sometimes I do forget my made upacan slang just doesn't translate to anyone elses ears but my own. LOL! I just meant I was with the rest of you, part of the team, on board in line, ready and waiting for the return, happily anticipating the return, sitting close, keeping count of the days till Fear Of The Walking Dead makes it's debut and also awaiting the return of the mother ship, the original, TWD.

Short meaning, like the rest of you, I am looking forward to the new, sort of, spin off Walker series that will be starting up this summer
