The Walking Dead- So this started up on AMC last night finally. Wow, the show is gorier than I expected. I mean, it is a show about zombies, but still I thought the make-up and wot-not was pretty good.
Hmm, I was thinking, this is one of the first TV shows I've seen based on a novel or comic series (I don't count Smallville or FNL) where I actually am very familiar with the work its based on. I mean, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, Dexter, are all based on books, but since I never read them, I don't have a mindset on how things are "supposed to" go. However, I'm a big fan of the comic, so I'm kinda curious how I will feel if they make significant deviations. I'll prolly be fine with it if they're done well.
( spoiler cut )
Oh, heh, sure that red-shirted dude at that one WoW event ended up looking all dorky on the internet, but hey, it got him immortalized as an NPC! So nerds, go ahead and point on useless knowledge about some geek thing at the panels at these conventions! You never know, you too may be added to canon! And wouldn't that be a dream come true?
