The Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion *Spoilers*

And so it begins.

Probably the same way I was always running off and doing shit without anybody knowing when I was a kid. :rommie:

All kids do. But the writers could show that without making the kid into such a useless little bastard.

And I just got an email from Amazon about this.

I've watched a playthrough. It actually looks pretty interesting. An old style point and click adventure featuring mostly original characters. Plan on picking it up when I have a little spare cash.
 
All the nice Latino lads and nurses who stayed behind in Atlanta to look after the elderly people at that nursing home/hospital are in for a nasty surprise...


Yeah, I've been thinking that ever since we saw them in that nursing home...

'The Walking Dead': Deleted scene from original season 2 opening reveals abandoned storyline -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

  • In this exclusive clip following Shane’s rescue, we see the survivors trying to seek shelter with some familiar faces from season 1— Guillermo and the Vatos. But when Rick and Co. arrive back at the nursing home where Glenn was once held hostage, well…the people they find there are not people at all, setting off a frenzied attack. Click on the video player below to see for yourself.

    And to see what happens when they go inside the building, as well as to hear showrunner Glen Mazzara’s very candid commentary on why the entire escape from Atlanta storyline was cut, check out the set when it is released on August 28.


Looks like they got that nasty surprise pretty quickly, after all... :(
 
This kind of made local celebrity news here in Atlanta. Apparently Scott Walker in real life isn't that different than his character, Herschel.

Atlanta Business Chronicle
'The Walking Dead' star Scott Wilson was arrested for DUI and failure to maintain lane in Peachtree City, where the series sometimes films, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.
According to a police report of the arrest that occurred last week, an officer observed a PT Cruiser driving erratically in the area of Highway 74. The officer made a U-turn, began to pursue the vehicle and performed a routine traffic stop, the station reported.
According to the officer, during the stop he noticed a "strong" stench of alcohol coming from the vehicle. Wilson,70, told the officer he was leaving Founder's Restaurant in Senioa and that he had several drinks --- namely scotch and wine, WXIA-TV reported.
Wilson was arrested after several sobriety tests were administered, the station reported.
 
Oh dude. Why would you mess up your twilight years like that? You've got a job on a great show....everything's just too good? Sorry--alcoholics confound me. They're just compelled to destroy themselves and everything good in their lives.

Well, a) doesn't mean he's an alcoholic, a lot of people do stupid shit like that, though most of them tend to be a bit younger when they do, and b) it's not like alcoholics (or addicts of any kind) have much of a say in the matter.

Meh, that's kind of harsh. Dick Cheney, former VP of the United States had 2 DUI's, and GW Bush had one.

Besides, hasn't hurt among many other celebrities like Keifer Sutherland who also has a DUI their career.

Dumb yes, dangerous yes. A mistake that many have made.

Except to go to AA.

If it were that easy I wonder why there still are alcoholics. And it's not because they don't want to stop, 99% of all addicts come to that point and that's the problem with addiction. You think "I have to stop, this is killing me, I know it! I need help! ...just one more.".

If this was LOST his character would immediately be killed off after the DUI! :rommie:

Didn't Daniel Dae Kim, Matt Fox or Naveen Andrews also get one, even earlier than Michelle
 
I don't understand alcoholics. I know their lives are different, so there's no one road to becoming an alcoholic, but some are puzzling. I mean, if you come from a family of alcoholics and you yourself have the opportunity to see the problems caused and the frame of mind to not follow, then why at some point do you follow? I heard one person say just this--their entire family were alcoholics, ye they themselves never touched it precisely because of what they experienced.

Is this too rational and most people, stuck with whatever problems are befalling them, cannot help but fall into the same trap?

In a similar vein, my family is STUPID (I mean it: stupid and in denial) about money and not thinking about consequences, yet I'm the one who's considered to be "over-thinking" about things--yet I don't have their self-caused economic crises, precisely because I looked at them and decided, "oh hell no."

If a person grows up with that environment as "normal", then he may not perceive it as a problem.

Or, he may simply wind up following the patterns he was raised with because they're ingrained into him. Even if he knows better. Imagine how many times people say, "I'm never going to be like my parents!" and they turn out just the same anyway. It's hard to get away from your programming.
