3 episodes in and no humans bit??

[Gemini]

The Zeds have eaten everything from rats to deer to a damn horse but not a single human bit yet? Seems a little odd. Also the campsite appears packed with too many extras, let's home some wind up as lunch soon. I do love the series. Episode 1 still the best by far. Episode 2 had a totally different feel, more of a fast-paced romp and not as thoughtful. Episode 3 they slowed things WAY down, and there were hardly any Zeds at all. Episode 3 however was good in that it was a good character building episode and had a fairly powerful conclusion. So what's the deal with the scumbag on the roof? He apparantly got the hacksaw, why didn't he cut the hand cuff chain instead of amputating his hand? And the door was still padlocked when they got there so where did he go? Jump off the roof? Thoughts?

I believe the "Next Week" preview showed a certain character getting chomped on in ep 4. I would put money on it that people are going down next episode...

I believe the "Next Week" preview showed a certain character getting chomped on in ep 4. I would put money on it that people are going down next episode... I hope so, I kind of like the slow pacing and attempts at focusing on character as opposed to action (nobody can accuse it of being an "MTV Flick" or whatever), but I'm getting the urge to watch some horrific zombie chow-down action at the same time.

My wife brought a funny point about Ep 3 last night. There's hardly any zombies in it at all....

My wife brought a funny point about Ep 3 last night. There's hardly any zombies in it at all.... They seem to cluster, which is a bit more realistic than a lot of zombie media which seems to have them uniformly scattered around the place so you can't walk a few yards without bumping into one. And that quary does look kind of isolated (with hints that the zacks are starting to wander abvout a bit now that the towns/cities are bone yards). There was a LOT of traffic headed out of that city as well, maybe a good portion of the population got out? (won't be complaining if they all decide to head back home in their undead state though).

Isn't this thread a bit of a spoiler for the UK folks. Just saying

[bassman]

yeah...the OP should probably spoiler tag a few things... Sucks for you guys, but that's what usually happens when you have to wait like that. Things slip out whether you want them to or not. Oh well....Another three or four weeks and we can all speak freely.

Isn't this thread a bit of a spoiler for the UK folks. Just saying Dude, we live in the age of the internet. If you want to see any of the first three episodes, you can "find" it to watch it easy enough, if you know what I mean, Verne. With that said, I agree that some folks should probably be more considerate in throwing up the "Spoilers". As far as the zombies -- I wouldn't mind seeing whole episodes without them. Honestly, if not used correctly, they detract from the overall story which is about the characters and their situation in living a world that has completely changed. If seeing zombies is pertinent to their story (where they are as a character and what they are doing) then show them -- but it's pointless to have zombies running around "just because it's cool looking to have zombies around!" and is more of a distraction to the overall story. Just my opinion of course. j.p.

Episode 3 was available to the global masses via P2P aproximately 15 MINUTES after the actual US show finished this week! We've got dedicated people getting this out to those who can't wait for almost a week to catch up with our US friends. Just hope that those of us who do download make sure they find the time to watch the real UK airing to keep veiwing figures healthy.

to the op: too many nameless characters at the camp + no humans bit yet = foreshadowing. i have a feeling next week's episode is gonna be off the fucking chain...

I'm one of those people but it doesn't stop me being considerate for other people who may not choose to use torrents, newsgroups etc. A little bit of thought doesn't hurt anyone.

Ah, morality. Nice but it really doesn't get you anywhere in life if the ones choosing to follow the rules are in the extreme minority.
