morgankobi October 28, 2015 Share October 28, 2015 I cannot see AL as being the kind of actor who would "beg the writers" for anything. I think he respects his craft more than that. Link to comment
peach October 28, 2015 Share October 28, 2015 (edited) OK Magazine and Celeb Dirty Laundry aren't the most trustworthy gossip sources (embarrassed that I know this). So I don't take this very seriously. However, I doubt anyone who signed on for the first six episodes of TWD had any concept of what a juggernaut/cultural phenomenon this series would be. AL's kids must be school age now, and I could see him being tired of this role, or at least tired of what it requires. OTOH, it's very hard to leverage this kind of success into continued career success. Seems risky to want out. Either way, the article mentioned killing off Rick vs recasting him, and the idea of a recast is utterly ridiculous, IMO. ETA: I clicked on the link to the original OK magazine, and the cover story is about Queen Elizabeth giving up the throne and installing William and Kate as King & Queen. LOL. That's how reliable THAT mag is. Edited October 28, 2015 by peach 3 Link to comment

SnarkypantsTX October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 But to bring this back to TWD, Norman Reedus has a brand new show on AMC which involves him touring the country on his bike! Title not set in stone as of yet. Mr. SnarkyPants is a Harley-owner so he looked up from his laptop long enough to be interested in that. Link to comment

Aaah, so that's why Daryl spent the whole of the last episode riding his bike around aimlessly! I'm not at all a motorcycle connoisseur, just to use an obnoxiously pretentious word, but I really really enjoy Norman Reedus as a human (at least, the version of him he allows the public to see), so I might end up watching it anyway.

Nashville November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 Lifted from another thread: There was a Daryl reference on Z Nation this week—a dirty guy with a crossbow. I caught that too. And I purely loved how - in total contrast to TWD - Z Nation not only acknowledges the pre-ZA existence of zombie lore, it celebrates it - right down to a George Romero mini-homage. :) 4 Link to comment

Caelicola November 5, 2015 Share November 5, 2015 (edited) I'm not even sure this would be the right place for it, but apparently they had a convention in Atlanta last weekend, and there are a few -professional- videos of some of the panels floating around. Now, I didn't watch them, so I don't know if they're worth watching, but I thought maybe someone with more patience/some spare time/a better attention span might be interested. (I thought about embedding them at first, but then I realized four videos would have made an enormous and aesthetically unpleasant post). Also, I don't know how in the hell they might have gotten their information, but multiple italian entertainment sources are saying that Negan has been cast, and it would be Garret Dillahunt . What baffles me is that any english-speaking source I've found (and a german one) is simply throwing his name in the speculation pool, while italian journalists are just going "yep, he's been cast as Negan , no doubt about that". So, one translator may have done goofed and then everybody else followed without bothering to check, or they somehow got the scoop first, which I find doubtful. Meh, whatever, we'll know when we know. Edited November 5, 2015 by Caelicola Link to comment

Raven1707 December 22, 2015 Share December 22, 2015 (edited) Came across this the other day... If someone you know exhibits the following symptoms, you may want to steer clear of them at your next holiday gathering: shambling gait, moaning, loss of personality traits, rotting of the flesh. These are not signs of a food coma; they’re symptoms of zombiism -- and a new report is sounding the alarm about a pending zombie apocalypse. The report, which calls for more research and funding to prevent a metaphorical zombie apocalypse, appears in the BMJ’s Christmas issue, which features papers that apply real scientific methods to humorous and lighthearted topics. http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-zombie-apocalpyse-bmj-christmas-20151218-story.html Edited December 22, 2015 by Raven1707 Link to comment
Nashville December 22, 2015 Share December 22, 2015 The report, which calls for more research and funding to prevent a metaphorical zombie apocalypse, appears in the BMJ’s Christmas issue, which features papers that apply real scientific methods to humorous and lighthearted topics. Not that farfetched at all. When I was involved in development of incident response and disaster preparedness plans, we occasionally used "zombie outbreak" as a metaphor for "worst-case scenario" on brainstorming and planning sessions. It actually works better than you'd expect: Real-world or imaginary, every disaster has common incidence response elements - establishing command centers, communications, incident response teams, chain of command, etc. When you're pitching for an imaginary construct like zombies, you actually end up with much more comprehensive response plans simply because it forces you to acknowledge the existence of - and formulate how to respond to - more unknowns. When real-world-based disaster scenarios (flood, fire, bomb threat, etc.) is used to develop a plan, the plans frequently end up being insufficiently detailed. People - especially people who have already been through the real-life scenario under discussion - (a) think they already know how such things will go, and (b) cookie-cutter responses based on past experience(s). Historical precedent actually tends to suppress out-of-the-box thinking; folks end up focusing on what has happened in the past rather than what could happen in the future. Pitching a scenario with no historical precedent jars them out of that mode of thinking. 3 Link to comment

Raven1707 January 5, 2016 Share January 5, 2016 A casting update: Remember back in September, when TVLine reported that 24 vet Xander Berkeley would be joining The Walking Dead in an unspecified role in the second half of Season 6 (which begins Feb. 14)? Now we can exclusively reveal whom he’ll be playing — and, in short, his character is bad news. http://tvline.com/2016/01/04/walking-dead-gregory-comics-cast-xander-berkeley-season-6/ 2 Link to comment

Raven1707 January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 I posted this at the FTWD forum...hope it's okay to mention it here as well: AMC will revive “Fear the Walking Dead” in the spring, giving fans an unbroken string of zombie apocalypse drama stretching from February — when “The Walking Dead” returns — through May. The second season of “Fear” will premiere Sunday, April 10, a week after the season finale of “The Walking Dead.” The new season will run for 15 episodes, with the first seven set for spring and the remaining eight airing later in 2016. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/01/08/fear-the-walking-dead-season-2-coming-in-april/ Link to comment
