I get that because if Lori is dead already it's not following the comic exactly, but Rick and the phone, well, that is straight out of the comic's plot. It is. They did adapt it from the graphic novel. Having said that, I do like the changes they've made so far, even with the characters and pacing. Compared to the comics, the tv series is much more...sanitized. |

Wonder who is on the phone that Rick answered. The comics give that away. ![]() Unless the show changes it, not guaranteed they'll stick to the comics. True, I haven't seen any of Season 3, as I have to wait for the DVD to be released here. However, from what I hear it seems to be closer to the graphic novel than the previous outings. have you read them all? They're rather good, but sometimes the artists copout by reusing backgrounds and images. As early as now in season 3, I think it's a bit different from the comics. Been reading the written material and though the characters are mostly the same, its not exactly identical. However, the producers said they will try to keep the main characters as close to the comics as possible. I get that because if Lori is dead already it's not following the comic exactly, but Rick and the phone, well, that is straight out of the comic's plot. I won't read then so it'll me a surprise this next episode ![]() |

Also, the relationship between Rick & Shane was far more complicated than the comics. |

Though there were a lot of complicated relationships and instances in the comics than the series, but I agree with regards to the Shane-Rick relationship in the tv series. I actually like both versions for different reasons. I think the two are interesting enough to hold their own. Though I believe the comics' story is more intense and the shock factor higher than its tv counterpart. It's also a more realistic post-apocalyptic rendition of mankind when faced with zombie crisis. I guess they have more to consider when it comes to tv, so they toned it down a little. |

Wonder who is on the phone that Rick answered. In the comics, the phone Rick answered was in a house, not inside the prison. Hint: It'll be a woman on the other end. :) |

Gotta say I was totally disappointed that that turned out to be all that it was who he was talking to. Oh well, the rest of the episode didn't disappoint. |

There are somes scenes in the comics that would be quite inappropriate for a TV show in a high rating time slot. I wish the series protrayed the zombies more like the the comic. They are maggot ridden and fly-blown creatures that are falling apart in the comics, unlike the examples in the series. A British film (The Zombie Diaries) portrayed the zombies in a more realistic fashion. The audience knows when they are about because of the amount of flies. |

I was only assuming that they are the same, as I haven't seen any of series three yet. The scriptwriters may surprise us with that one. |

This is the only show I make sure I'm around for when it's on. I thought the concept new for a zombie show. Although just like Skyfall, the writers will continue to portray humanity at it's lowest and worst by always having humans kill humans regardless of the enemies we face.

I haven't read the previous posts because I haven't read the comics (I enjoy being surprised by the show, honestly).
But... Any fans of the show have the half-season finale to look forward to this evening. Also, Glen last week with the chair... that whole thing... one of my favorite scenes yet. |

True, but I genuinely think they were a bit worried about alienating audiences with that level of humiliation and violence (I mean... what they insinuated was about to happen to her...).
Whereas Glen's scene was pure cathartic violence and I feel that it also played into their main demographic. |

Note to self... never ever look up anything about Glen on Google. Now I'm sad. Show's ruined. Whatevs. Haha.
