How do you define a 90-minute episode? I define it as a two-hour episode with the commercial breaks editted out, leaving the viewer with a 90-minute episode. An example of this would be the series premiere of Stargate: Atlantis. "Rising" was a two-hour TV movie event, but on DVD, it's about 90 minutes long.
Thanks for the info. How come it will only be six episodes? Is AMC unsure of the show?

Thankyou for explaining. I am glad that Bear McCreary will be providing the score, his music for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome. How come AMC shows are only 13-episode seasons? I miss the days when 26 episodes per season was the norm. Note that this is because I only keep up with a few shows per year. For 2009-10, I watched Sanctuary and plan to catch up with Stargate: Universe. That's only 33 episodes. This fall, I'll be watching The Walking Dead if the pilot impresses me.

I first became acquainted with Bear McCreary's work for Battlestar Galactica and have loved everything I've heard him do since then.

I guess I'm just used to ABC-CBS-NBC-FOX-UPN and syndication. The only made for cable shows I've followed is Stargate (SG-1, Atlantis, Universe) and Sanctuary. Sanctuary is the first show I've watched following the 13-episodes-per-season rule. Fortunately, the third season's been extended to 20 episodes. Woo-hoo!

The Walking Dead Season 2 is Official
Fangoria insiders have dug up the undead news that after a short 6 episode first season of The Walking Dead - which debuts this Halloween, we're set for more than double that zombie deliciousness and it's coming soon.
Filming is set to begin in February, 2011 with no official television debut set for the AMC show's second season, but producer Gale Anne Hurd also confirms that the series will expand to a set 13 episode season. This is to be expected as many of these harder edge shows run around that length.
Producer/Director Frank Darabont also spoke on his plans for season 2 stating he would love to include some of the environmental elements from volume 2 of series creator Robert Kirkman's epic comic.
"It would be great not just to get out of the heat, but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter. There’s some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that’s frozen to the ground. I’d never seen that before and that’s really cool.†said Darabont.

Originally posted by MattSilver 3k View PostResident Evil the movie? I'll say Zombie. The technicians and such from the first movie were all killed and then reanimated by the T-Virus, and numbers only started to spread by infection through biting. The person bitten eventually dies, and then the T-Virus transmitted through the saliva reanimates them. The RE Zombies were a lot like the Classic, in that the T-Virus made them reanimate after death, they were slow, and the bites sped up the process (In the second film, the guy at the end got shot and killed, and then reanimated, so it must've been airborne T-Virus making them closer to Romero Classic).
Then again, the RE movies played very fast and loose with their own damn rules. Basically, since it takes death for the RE Zombies to come about, they're zombies and not Infected. But, T-Virus infection on other creatures and stuff makes them closer to Infected, because we don't expressly know if the creatures being mutated by the virus died first or not - for example, we don't know if the Infected dogs died first and became zombie dogs in the film. Then again, it's been a while since I've seen the films, so I'll say the RE Film Zombies were Classic, but there were still those that might've infected by the T-Virus and mutated while alive. Also, the third film had the baddies turning the Zombies themselves into Super!Zombies, making them Infected Undead, basically.
Stupid inconsistent film.
What?
I hope this show lives up to expectationssigpic
