New "V" adds another actor from old "V"
This is going in the wrong direction. Can we just narrow it down to Elizabeth Mitchell and Morena Baccarin fighting each other with Alan Tudyk providing color commentary? -
Quote:I didn't even notice the "Lost" analogy until it was pointed out elsewhere.That was a great piece of imagery at the last scene there, and before BBM says it: yes, the lone man trying to save the world in a bunker, discovering there are survivors and ending an episode with bright lights coming out of a portal did give me the "Lost" effect. :-)
Also, Rick losing his mind at the door is like Locke losing his mind at the Hatch -
We also got somewhat of a timeframe from this episode: something lie 120 days since the vrius was discovered ("Wildfire"), 63 days since it went global. So, safe to say that Rick was in a coma for about a month, month and a half at least?
Also, I got the first two volumes of TWD in the mail today from friends as a late b-day present. Also, the "emo" Superman story (I think, I haven't cracked that one open yet and only recognize it by the cover art). -
Whenever an outsider comes into a survivor group, especially one the pseudo-represents authority, they are going to stir up stuff and manipulate individuals or the whole group towards their endgame. It's a well worn trope
-
Was it Creepshow or The Twilight Zone movie? Where he palyed the guy who buried his victims in the sand then watched the tide roll over them? That definitely gave me chills.
And, apparently, he was the deadpan voice of Generation X/Y, judging by the reactions of my friends. Who knew? -
I am fairly certain he will try to infect one of Rick's group to get that living, infected tissue.
-
Rick definitely has a little Jack-complex, aka savior-complex, going with Jim. Of course, Rick lets go easier than Jack ever did.
Love "Oh, it's that guy!" casting for Dr. Jenner. Can't wait to see him some more next week. -
Hard to picture him as a serious, dramatic actor, but that is what he was before Airplane!
One of those guys, who even in the sillier, dumber of his movies, still made me laugh with a line reading and/or a look.

Quote:Probably didn't turn because we will never see the Vatos again, I bet. That would be a major plot point, and since the climax of that encounter was the two groups becoming friends bringing that up in the narrative would a) make Rick and his group seem like terrible people for bringing the virus into the home and b) would extend the episode.What I'm wondering is why the gangbanger nurse that got shot in the butt didn't turn into a zombie? Wasn't he shot by those crossbow arrows that the one guy keeps reusing after shooting infected zombies?
So handwaving it away by not mentioning allows the Vatos to fade into the background and serve as an important lesson to the original group on judging by first appearance.
The More You Know and Knowing is Half the Battle!
I bet that is how tonight's episode starts. -
I have heard that the TV series is diverging from the comic in some significant ways like....
...COMIC SPOILER POSSIBLY...
There is no Merle and some of the secondary characters are only on the show, not the book. -
Wasn't it a great thematic callback/dovetail in Lost that.....
SPOILERS
...Hurley, the one most associated with the Numbers, which ended up signifying the importance of being a Candidate, ended up the Protector of the Island? -

I am lazy, but there is another trailer out there that is supposed to focus more on the action and definitely gives off less of a "humorous" take on things.

Batman thinks he will win because he had time to plan, but Einstein redefines the nature of time and pulls it out.
-
I think it also separates their reality with our own. Since we are so familiar with "zombies" and how to deal with them through all those property that feature "zombies," if they don't call them zombies, maybe they didn't have any zombie fiction. And such do stupid stuff we have seen time and again never works!
And of course Shaun of the Dead parodied that, since Shaun pretty much knew what to do as soon as he realized what was going on. With the handy news broadcast to goad that epiphany on. -
Hmmm, I guess Mutant Enemy made the TV series and not the movie, so Whedon does have little stake in any big screen reboot.

Methinks you are confusing the actress with the character.
Everyone knows that Heather Morris is the secret genius who controls the entity known as B.E.Y.O.N.C.E.! -
Heather Morris laughs at this news. Laughs!

Which reminds me, can someone PM with spoilers of The Shephard's Tale?
-
Talking of former Lost castaways, er, cast members, that can't leave Abrams' clutch, my mancrush Josh Holloway is totally going to rock in Mission Impossible IV

Not that I disagree with you Coin that Whedon's name is not a kiss of death (it isn't), but it is hard to see that a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie will be a hit based on the audience of the old TV show. It was popular, for being on the 5th networks (The WB and UPN), but being popular there means 6 or 7 million viewers, not nearly 20 million that a Big 4 show might pull in. It was a critical darling, but not really that widely popular. Add in the fact that the show ended what, nearly a decade ago? The fanbase now and its money-spending impact is probably at the same level as Firefly's was when Serenity came out.
I don't think a BtVS movie, even one with the old cast and crew, would fare that much better than the Serenity movie nowadays. It's been too long and still too niche. -
Hmmm, that casts the whole Super Mario series in a new light. A tale of forbidden love, beards, and hiding things from even your brother?
