Talking Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 1

Mark: They’re moving on to Fort Benning. I’m not sure where all their cars came from – notably the sweet chopper – and I’m not sure how they’re moving (weren’t they out of gas?), but, like Willie Nelson, they’re on the road again. Until they hit what looks like the 401 at rush hour: a pile of discarded cars blocking the highway. And a horde of zombies, too.

I thought it was a nice intro, even if it did push it a little. A nice touch was Daryl helping T-Dog out. Wish he got more screen time (and maybe a real name), though.

Mark: This is a very Shane-centric episode and kind of presents two sides to Shane… which may really be one, big side.

Mark: It’s nice that Rick is still keeping a vigil with the guy we saw back in the pilot. While we still haven’t heard from him again – and he may be dead, given how he was shooting at zombies and drawing attention to himself – it’s still nice of Rick. But I’m thinking, between the calls and notes Rick leaves, isn’t it a bad idea to advertise where you are? They already had that one skirmish, who knows if there are other people out there who actually are a gang with no qualms about looting and such?

Jenn: I thought the same thing, to be honest, when Rick left a map pinned to the car. Do you really want just anyone to stumble across that and find your whereabouts? I mean leave it in the glove compartment for your buddy to find, sure, but taping it to the driver’s seat door of a bright red maseratti convertible with “MAP: FIND US” written in big letters isn’t the best plan Rick’s had. Although I’m hard pressed to think of any good plans of his so far…

Talking Walking Dead – Part One

With Mad Men’s season over, it’s cozy Sunday night slot has been given to The Walking Dead, a show about dead zombies and people who may or may not be dead inside as well. Since the series got so much hype, we here at Extended Play figured it was only fitting to take our Mad Men Chat crew and move on to this new show.

We brought back the Mad Men Chat crew of Heather, Jenn and myself and added one new member: Chel, one third of the podcast Pretty Little Losers and the closest thing I can think of to a ‘zombie expert.’ Call us the TV Crew plus one more. The chat begins after the jump.
