I appreciate it, but I honestly don't care what's discussed here, as long as it's not spoilers. I was simply expressing an observation, except when I do it I'm "gatekeeping," even though I gave no ultimatums or set no rules.

Your opinion holds weight here. Your comment was abrasive and did not really come off as a joke especially given the emoji choice. Comments like that keep people from posting similar thoughts and critiques due to not wanting to deal with abrasive comments. It essentially does shut down conversation.

As for the "I'm rubber and you're glue" comment, if it's gatekeeping to ask people to not be dicks, then I guess I'm a gatekeeper.

Edit: This will be the last I comment on this, as this is undoubtedly going to lead to further thread derailment.

My post wasn't the least bit "abrasive," but whatever.

We just need episode three to hurry up and drop, as it's apparently the best of the bunch so far, then we can all relax and get excited again.

BTW, did anybody think it was extra hard to kill the clickers in Ep2 than it would take for a normal person? The lady that they showed in 2006 had a single tap to the head. But they had to shoot the clickers in museum a bunch of times.


Young and "healthy" versus one that was wheel chair bound prior to infection?

This is more of a spoiler than anything anyone's said so far. Now we all have raised expectations.

The ones in the museum were in way more advanced stages of "zombi-ism" than the original lady in Jakarta who had literally just turned to a "zombie" when killed.

It features Ron Swanson, which by default automatically makes it better than either episode so far.

I was referring to the old lady in the first episode.

Ahh, ok. But I think my point still stands. The old neighbor lady had only been a zombie for hours. The zombies that attacked Joel, etc in the museum had visible signs of longer decay/zombi-ism. Or at least most did.

Oh. I thought you meant when Mando hit the old lady with whatever in Ep1.

I do think it's a little iffy how that old lady went from wheelchair bound to Bo Jackson because of a fungus.

I've always wondered how difficult it is to host SNL, especially if your background isn't in standup?

Do they show up, recite their scripted lines a couple times day off, and hope for the best?

If you want more information than you need, and to have a good laugh, listen to "Fly on the Wall" podcast.

Basically though they follow this schedule:
Tuesday- big table read through- go through all the potential scripts and Lorne and the host pick the top 10 or so.
Rest of week do some rehersals,

Friday do a dress rehearsal, Saturday during the day do a full run through that is filmed, then the live show.

They have cards with colored writing for all of the lines that they can just read off of if they want to. Walken is kind of infamous for just reading off the card unapologetically.

Some people are naturally funny. The first ones that come to mind are Justin Timberlake and Peyton Manning. If you got it, you got it.

Agree.

All 3 Manning brothers are pretty funny.

Cooper and Peyton have a dry wit that is really funny to me.

Gotta say the zombies on this current zombie apocalypse iteration are the scariest looking of all of em. I never am bothered by blood and gore but the fungus head going mouth to mouth with Tess was not a moment I could stomach.

Enjoying the show so far though.

One thing I'm really digging about this show is the rewatchability. I showed the first two episodes to a friend and was picking up so much I had missed on the first watch. Reminds me of the first seasons of GoT.

Considering how high budget it is, I wouldn't expect s2 for quite some time.

Will totally be worth the wait though.

it's a spoiler in that we now know the world doesn't completely end at the end of s1.

or maybe it does and humanity's survivors become a space faring civilization!
