This look interesting apparently its based on a comic. I love a good Zombie film/TV series and this has the makings to be excellent. AMC show one of my favourite show breaking bad so lets hope they keep up their standards.

Comic is okay, started off well then became filler. About 70-something editions out there, worth a read if you're bored.

I only read one of the comics (first) I brought it thinking it was a book, I enjoyed it but thought it would work out quite expensive to buy all of them. So I'm really looking forward to this. Roll on October.

...Buy them?

Why did it take you to say that before I thought of it?

Might grab them in a bit. Or I might just wait till after the series to avoid any possible spoilers.

I'd probably have bought the first anthology, but beyond that... not really worth the cash. As you will see the actual comic only runs to around 18 pages, the rest is adverts and letters pages.

After fucking about with proxies the trailer looks great! Love all zombie stuff.

Someone bump this thread closer to halloween so i don't forget about it

Looks excellent. The trailer makes it look something along the lines of 28 Days later to start.
Check it out no proxy needed

The.Walking.Dead.S01E01.PREAIR is out , haven't looked at it yet but looking forward to it.

Cheers for the heads up! Have it coming down the line now. Fingers crossed it's good...

Yes thanks!

If only we had a thank you button just kidding . Really enjoyed start to finish, its a shame we have to wait a couple of weeks for the next episode.

The quality's a bit shakey on that isn't it?

I was going to grab the preair, but from what I hear the res is really low and the encode is a bit mangled... Doesn't this bitch air in about 10 days anyway? I'll wait.

Thought it was quite watchable. Don't want to spoil it but loved the last few minutes!

Res is 352x240, but the 240 does include letterboxing black bars.

Actual size screenshots:







The actual encode looks fine on a quick skim through.

Think i'll wait the 10days. Atleast then it means less of a wait for ep.2

Looks like this will be showing on FX HD early November too if you'd rather wait and Sky+ it.

Watched last night, quality is not that bad and i was viewing it on a 50".

As for the show, i liked it. Very reminiscent of 28 days later at the start, but that is not a bad thing. A few plot twists thrown in (one expected, another not that great but should add to the tension), but i will definitely be watching the next episode.

Zombie apocalypses are right up my street!

Don't you live in Leicester?
