OT: The Walking Dead

[bcsoonerfan]

Anybody else watch this show? I watched season 1 as it aired back in 2010, but for no particular reason quit keeping up with it about half way through season 2.

Started watching season 2, 3, 4 and 5 on DVD borrowed from a friend and really got hooked. Season 6 is two episodes in and this show really has blossomed.

Nah. I genuinely want to see if some other Scoopers watch this show and want to chat about it.

Though, if the Dunce Brothers truly did place me on ignore, then they probably did go crying to Josh.

sorry I don't watch it, so not much to say about it!

I believe they're on Netflix if you've got that. I'm more of a movie junkie than a TV show junkie, but the show has done a lot of character development the last few season and really come a long way and is worth watching, if it's the sort of thing you're in too.

Yes! I've been hooked on it since season one. For many years now it and 'Breaking Bad' are the only two weekly serials I just had to make sure and watch, although I was hooked on 'Survivor' for a while.
My favorite two episodes of 'Walking Dead' were both last season; the one when the group escaped from Terminus and the one when Rick was captured with his hands tied watching a guy starting to molest his son and he bit and tore out his captor's jugular vein.

Or when 'the governor' whacked 'Hershel' ... I started watching it accidentally early in the first episode. I find it interesting that two of the main characters are British and that they are good enough actors to pull it off for so many episodes. Truth be told I'm just waiting for my good buddy Schoonerman to either break into the action as a normal person or a 'walker' that perhaps holds the key to the survival of humanity... Well what the heck else you gonna do with your new found free time T ?? Theater is great fun (if you have the time to practice, especially for real $$$)

The lead actor on "House," Hugh Laurie, is British but managed to sound totally American during the entire series.

There have been dozens of Brit actors who have played Americans on the stage as well as in film and TV. I think the only people who have a lot of trouble with American accents are Cockney actors. Their brogue is so pronounced that it's hard to escape into something else. (Have to admit, when I see a Brit show with Cockney--London east-ender--actors, I have to have subtitles or I'm totally lost.)

I think American actors have more trouble with British accents, although some have carried it off quite well (e.g., Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones movies). It's easier for American actors to play stuffy upper class Brits than the Cockney types, or so I've been told.
