JE Funhouse Podcast episode: We missed you Walking Dead

Hey everybody! Join Cyrus, Raven, and Roxy in a wonderful discussion about AMC's hit television series The Walking Dead and the original comic book. We take a look at how we feel about the actors and some of the plot lines while making comparisons to the comic. Sometimes we like the show more, other times the comic. Listen and find out!

Lots of hardcore discussion takes place, including:
Which Governor is best, show or comic?
Predictions for the end of Season 3~!
Which characters are hated by all (I'll give you a clue - everyone loves Carl)?

This Walking Dead show is chock full of spoilers, so heed this warning if you haven't kept up with the show!

We are happy to welcome guests back onto the show after a bit of a hiatus!

The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 3 "Save the Last One"

This is probably my favorite episode so far. The show really has started to hit the ground running with Season 2, especially following the lackluster finale of the original season. The shifting around of time to initially show the viewer Shane shaving his head, then revealing the story in a very skillful manner was quite fun. It makes me wish there were more stories like this one. 

I don't really care that Otis was killed prematurely. In the book, he doesn't die until the prison stuff, but he really isn't a major character. I kind of liked the fact that he was a very fat guy on a difficult, physical mission. In the comic, he's a very generic looking character, and I would find myself irritated by him because he looked the same as so many other characters.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1 recap

Not really many comments on this one. Although I've read the books, I was totally caught off guard by Carl being shot. Very much so, in fact. I was too busy wondering why Rick and Shane would think it was acceptable for a child to walk right up to a wild buck who may charge him.

They started out with the zombie "herds" quite fast in the television show. I don't think they actually mention them in the comic until the appearance of Eugene and Abraham much later on. There's a ton of cars that must be drivable on the highway; this makes me wonder what they are going to do with them.

The Walking Dead Episodes 5 and 6 recap

These were okay, but not great. I like the fact that they made it to the CDC, and that we were able to lose another character who seemed to just be tagging along to die at some point. The inclusion of Rick's grenade was a fun twist; I had completely forgotten that it existed way back in the second episode.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst season finales ever. Nothing was accomplished. You can get away with having a filler episode mid-season, but not at the beginning or end. It makes me wonder if it was even intended to be a season finale.

The actor who is playing Dale is so very much Dale, which I'm growing to appreciate more and more. 

Of course, I'm being a bit critical with some of my comments on the show as I love the comic so. 

I'm really hoping that Tyreese appears in the show, but at this point it is feeling a bit unlikely. His character was one that I really enjoyed, and the subplots with his daughter, Carol, and Michonne were all interesting.

The Walking Dead Episode 4 recap

An army of people holed up inside a nursing home? What exactly are they eating? And they have dogs as pets? This was a completely bizarre episode. I enjoyed the weeding out of all these characters who seemed to be there just so they could die.

I'm so curious if these nursing home gangsters will continue to be a part of the series.

The Walking Dead Episode 3 recap

This is an episode that is almost entirely new stuff. The inclusion of Daryl was a pretty big surprise to me. I knew that the guy from Boondock Saints had a part in the show, but I thought he was someone else, not a character completely made up for the television series. I also don't remember the woman-beating fella from the comic either. It is really odd to me that Shane is so tough that he's able to frighten him; Shane really doesn't seem to be that big or strong looking.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT


The inclusion of Daryl is fairly interesting because I know that I've seen him in stills from recent episodes, so I already know that he survives for quite a while.
