    Sounds interesting. Does Halcyon have anything to do with the Phillip K. Dick story rights? Another post mentioned something along those lines earlier this week that was never made clear.

    @goldfarb: Yeah, I think that was it. Not sure if that really means all of Dick's stories or what, but since the whole thing is in litigation now, I imagine it would be a while before we see of his properties back on a screen. This must have been worked out already if it's this far along.

    @evan7257: Nobody.

    I hope they don't put him in the show at all, he was my least favorite character of the series, and not cause he's evil, but cause I think he was terrible for the story.

    He was so over the top and idiotic it felt like Kirkman was trying to do a homage to Garth Ennis (and not the good kind of Garth Ennis).

    At first I thought this might be that really good vampires vs. zombies webcomic with the angry nutso creator that hasn't been updated in forever.

    When you absolutely can't keep the seemingly hundreds of zombie stories straight anymore, there's a glut problem.

    Heres to Kirkman's vision being properly displayed on television. I have high hopes but I'm going to remain skeptical as just a defense mechanism.

    I'm not so sure if he was kidding about Rick and Shane.

    This is by far my favorite comic, and I for one am very excited to see this come to the small screen! The fact that Kirkman will be involved in writing episodes gives me faith that it will be good, or at least that I will like it.

    As far as TV zombie goes. Dead Set was the daddy!! Its unfortunate that it was only on for a week. It completly revolves around the Big Brother set. Anyone outside the UK will have their own version of BB. But this one was very very gory, fucked up and had the biggest balls in the world to show what it did! If theres going to be a new zombie TV show made, I only hope that UK TV build upon the greatness that is Dead set. Maybe other locations around the UK showing similar outbreaks. For anyone whos not seen Dead set you can go over to the channel 4 website and watch them all for free or maybe youtube..but thats naughty!! Heres the trailer..its utterly brilliant.

    I am not gonna get too excited 'bout this. I don't trust this to a) be appropriately brutal and b) not get axed after two seasons, at best.

    I guess I'm still upset about JMS being removed from the WWZ project. Plus my loss of faith in the television industry to produce any sci-fi that I might enjoy. Having family in the entertainment biz has been a real downer. :P

    AMC is trying to establish themselves as a network with quality original programming. I don't think they would have optioned a relativity unknown property if they didn't intend to use its potential.

    Now, that's not to say there aren't standards and practices and it'll be completely graphic. But you can have brutality without showing every single detail. Do they need to show everything The Governor does? No, but he can still be sufficiently creepy without it.

    Also, with Kirkman's rant last year about licensing property and such, it would be a bit hypocritical of him to be involved in this and not make it as authentic as he could.

    @Dead Air ummm Dead Air: - "Do they need to show everything The Governor does?"

    Yes. Yes they do. The brutality and gore is what really makes The Walking Dead such a fascinating story. Not gore porn mind you, but the fact that when civilization falls ... a lot of people turn into monsters. I think it's good to show what horrible things people are capable of, especially in this story.

    Draper would sit them down at Sterling-Cooper, light up an Old Gold, and explain about the potential of human achievement, Mom's home cooking, Popsicles or some other shit. And, if that didn't work, Pete could get Gort some whores.


    Jennifer was great in the short-lived ABC sitcom Notes From the Underbelly, BTW.

    @El Zilcho!: @Sproing: @PrescottLibo: D'oh! You three are absolutely correct. Actually, I THOUGHT he smoked Lucky Strikes, but then I checked AMC's episode guide for Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and misread that Old Gold was his brand (actually the brand of the ex-serviceman Don tried to convert to Luckies).


    Now, I have the the mark of shame upon me. Please be merciful.
