Fear the Walking Dead 
Gave it another go and have to say I'm pretty hooked. The actors are still pretty shit but a good story is taking shape. 
Rather amusing to see Dougray Scott, the guy who was originally cast as Wolverine but had to drop out for MI2. Hasn't his career taken off? Poor prick.

Poor bastard, he's been in some rubbish. I'm liking the series as it goes on, the older hispanic guy owns every scene he's in pretty much and the junkie kid seems right at home in the fucked up post zombie world. Enjoyed the scene where they gave the arsehole back to his brother.
They seem to be doing more stand alone episodes than the walking dead, the one on the bird sanctuary was good too.

out of interest, how exactly is the Zombie virus transmitted?
 
You'd of thought Zombie blood would have the virus in it, or is it just Zombie saliva?

I don't know if they've ever gone into that much detail, if the show follows the books they start using the blood as a weapon later on as bullets become more scarce. I'm not sure how everyone got infected though, thats an interesting twist on the genre though.

I'm just thinking more on when they cover themselves in blood to disguise themselves, what if you have a scratch, or like the druggy last week seemed to get some in the corner of his mouth, not to mention how often we see 'splash bacl'

Now that I think of it in the books the blood thing failed so I guess it must be bites . It would be inconvenient for the plot if it was passed through blood with all the hammers, axes , samuri swords spraying blood everywhere.

Try and check out Twin Town, a low budget film shot in South Wales. It's a lot of fun in places.

When GOT and Banshee are finished I'd like to do the whole Walking Dead thing again I remember it being great viewing on TV and quite thought provoking ie who in the world get's feral the quickest. Easy to dismiss a lot of the characters as "clichÃs" but if, god forbid, the same happened in NZ the clichÃd characters would all be there from all walks of life trying to make sense of everything.

So paranoid.
 
I know you live up north but those are stoners and p-users wandering around town not zombies.

Oh yes, yes they are...but I tend not to leave where I kill them, I find it's not a good look just yet....

It must just be bites. These guys cover themselves in zombie sludge all the time and aren't affected. Which is more than a little strange. As is the fact that they're already infected.

Isn't it just that everyone already has the virus and it's activated on death and that the zombie bites are lethal?

Banshee
 
[spoiler]Nice arse shot of Dushku for jegga to fap over so that will be enjoyable for him. Will be interesting if Hood can save her in time though, pretty rookie mistake to sit in the car and be captured like that though. Again, everyone up in arms about the serial killer in a town where in two episodes a) a guy gets ripped in half by a truck a Neo Nazi gets killed and dismembered c) a chick sets herself on fire in a police station and d) there's another shootout in the country with multiple casualties but there y'go. Pretty obvious that Carrie was gonna have a big fight with that female cop who in typical Banshee style is another unarmed combat expert. 
Only two episodes to go and there seems WAAAAAYYYYY too much to tie up. Proctor looks fucked although his nerves of steel when confronted by the Nazis and the severed head were pretty inspirational. 
I have a feeling the serial killers will get their beans next episode and everyone else will get sorted in the finale ( surely a two hour special at least ??? )[/spoiler]

Such a shame the show is finishing, and that they couldn't even spring for a full 10 episodes. The ending is going to feel too rushed. The lack of gratuitous sex and nudity has not gone unnoticed. I mean where is all this?

There was potential for it but Hoods head got in the way

Delightful. Thank you.

I reckon they should have a new show starring Mila Kunis and Eliza Dushku. I don't care what they do as long as they do it together. Perhaps a minimum of one pillow fight per episode?

an awful lot to tidy up in the final episode of Banshee, although I guess they can lazily tie most of it up in one go if
 
[spoiler]Proctor and Calvin kill one another, leaving only Hood and Brock to sort their shit out. Assume with Calvin dead, Bunker can carry on bonking his wife, Job has loads of cash now.[/spoiler]

shit no
 
Gotta have a Hood/Proctor showdown surely?
 
[spoiler]The show looks to be aiming for a proper ending. Hood and Carrie have realised that they need to be together. 
Job has got himself back on track with lots of money to donate to the gang. 
The Nazi thing will be a bloodbath. I gather the late appearance of a Senator in Proctor's pocket may provide an out to the Cartel situation. 
The bad cop got her tits out briefly then died psycho style with Burton being Norman Bates so that storyline wrapped very quickly. 
The serial killer got his. 
What is left? Hood and Brock to reach an understanding. Burton to get his beans. Proctor to be put in his place. Hood and Carrie to settle down. 
The outstanding bit will be the snippet thrown in a while back about Hood's past where he was some kind of black-ops. [/spoiler]

taniwharugby

well that's what I mean, with 1 ep to go, an awful lot to tie up, and easy/lazy out would be to have those others deal with one another, despite needing a more violent showdown.
 
Yeah seems they gave us glimpses of the past of both Hood and Burton, but haven't gone any further...kinda like they thought the series would run a bit longer?

It was their own decision to pull the show. They have stated that they wanted to tell a full story (I guess Hood/Carrie's story) and wrap it up. Didn't want to drift on for the sake of it.
 
I thought the Burton thing was self-explanatory. You don't need to know his backstory except that he is totally devoted to Proctor because Proctor saved his life.
