Podcasts - THE LEAGUE OF EXTREMELY ORDINARY GENTLEMEN: Walking Dead Mid-Season Squabble

Oh boy do we get into it about our divisive opinions on AMC's show "The Walking Dead" at the half-season mark . But that's FAR from all we talk about this week, as there's lots of news to attack and the most segwayed (?) conversation the League has ever had.

1rst half of the season was much too slow. this storyline was even boring in the comics. They keep teasing the idea that the humans are really the ones who are dangerous. there was only 1 instance of this, not enough to keep me interested Leog, its just not enough.

Am I the only one slightly excited for a new Starship Troopers?
Maybe it is because I'm a huge Heinlein fan... or maybe I just want to see giant robots blowing the crap out of Skinnies. Either way, it could be worse.

Then again, maybe we got the best we could get from that CG animated series. Roughnecks I believe it was called.

I was one of the few people in my group of friends who was aware that the Walking Dead was based off the comic book, but I have still yet to read the book myself. I'd passed by it a lot at my local comic shop--gone back and forth on purchasing a copy--but I was hesitant to read it simply for the fact that I have seen a lot of zombie movies (only a select few of them being any good), and I was skeptical as to whether or not it would apply well to graphic novels. Which I guess is a moot point considering, as it was mentioned, it's primarily the writing and not the content theme.

And for the record, the plethora of topics that seem to pop up in this podcast, whether related to geekdom, nerd logic, personal interests, news or pop culture, I find all to be well worth a listen.

Just wanted to chime in and say I love the topics for the shows but I love the preambles just as much, if not more!

It was Otis' fault they had to go out there anyway, so I never really felt sorry for what happened to Otis. I would have probably done the same, but I think it would have been hard to come back. I would have eventually broke down and told the truth.

Herman Cain always says some pretty fucked up shit. First it's "your fault if you not rich", now, "you're worthless if you are fat." How do you think that makes Cyrus feel???

Otis was pretty fat though. So all that good he did is cancelled out.

Let me point out how amazing Otis was as a character.
SPOILER ALERT (highlight to see text)

Sophia is lost, bitten and captured by Otis [the zombie-wrangler] in one day. Otis [the skilled hunter] goes out early the next day hunting and kills a deer (and shoots Carl). Otis [the EMT] then returns the same day and goes with Shane on a mission to get supplies, where he is heroic [the hero] in helping Shane and shooting zombies only to end up betrayed and killed. Later its revealed the Otis [the musician] was great on the guitar. A very unrealistically impressive character.

Since Sofia was in the barn and he knows everything that happens on his farm, especially with his barn, wouldn't that mean that Hershell knew that Sofia was in the barn the whole time and just didn't tell the rest of the group for whatever reason?

Did anyone else notice, begining of season 1 and end of mid season 2 finale...Rick's character shift /development..involves putting a bullet in a child's head?

And that's a good example of an unnecessary shitty comment, oscurefan and MuttonChop.

Save him, Spider John!

i nearly cried laughing at that pic!

People keep writing it because it drives traffic. That's the only reason. The studio has given us no reason to think otherwise.

I'm with Cyrus on the whole Khan thing. Seriously, just how many times does the guy who's making the movie have to say that the villain's not Khan? "Oh but we have sources" shut up. Abrams may like to keep things secretive for his movies, but he has never flat out lied about something like this before and would never do so. Why? Because it would be stupid, and would piss people off. If he wanted to try to hide it, he could have been vague and just not addressed it, but no he has flat out denied it no less then three times! At least! And people wonder why people are scared of the internet eventually being the only source for journalism. I for one am terrified of that day.

Love the episode even though the Red Dwarf hate hurts me so deep. I love that show. Oh hey Leon...I'm a black Freemason and I'll be a Shriner by the end of 2012.

AND Kirk met Khan and had problems with him decades before the events in Wrath of Khan 2 (he was in the first season TOS episode "Space Seed").

Khan didn't kill Kirk's son. the Klingons did. Khan went after Kirk for the death of his WIFE...
December 12, 2011 at 7:46 AM, said ...

It couldn't be Khan for the simple fact that Kirk's whole motivation for going after Khan was because Khan killed Kirk's son. Kirk is young and doesn't even have a son. I would much rather see a new villain as opposed to rehashing the same old villains. No Kllingons. No whale saving. No going back in time to modern times period. I would love to see Q. Q is the one character who can exist in any Star Trek universe time period. Give Q an edge and make him even more dangerous than he was in TNG, Voyager and DSN. Q is my favorite Star Trek villain and it would be fun to see how he handles an unsuspecting, non-shit taking Kirk. Q could go either way with Kurt, ride it up the middle or trick him and completely fuck him over in the end. Picard had his issues with Q, but he never really hated him. Mostly just annoyed the living shit out of him, but Q's heart was in the right place. To have Kirk immediately clash with Q in a situation where they reach a point of no return, the battle between the two would be epic! Pick a great actor for Q and it would be a great movie. I think James McAvoy would make a great Q. Paul Bettany, also. Tom Hardy's a pipe dream, since he played Picard's clone in Star Trek: Nemesis. He would be my main choice though. He has a great way about him that is charming, witty and imposing all at once.

I think geeks can operate gadgets and stuff, nerds like cumming to math and science and all that shit
