i heard they sort of butchered the graphic novel which i've mostly read (it's dope)... but that it's still pretty stellar in its own right. my chick is/was always trying to get me to watch the show so i haven't seen more than one random episode from the first season. that's how i do.

michonne is fucking fierce though, yea.

lol @ get a haircut. did you think that one through, v?

edit - the book is ongoing and so is the show so different directions had to be taken? i guess. happens with manga/anime a lot. fans cry.

idk man there's a shit ton of books. I've only read the first compendium which is like issue 1-46 or something. there's hundreds.

its the same general premise but a LOT of plot points are very different in the book. important ones. for instance, darryl and merle don't even exist in the book lol

Glad shane got merked off. Im still on season 2 just started recently.

Nooooo

Merle that nigga too.

The one handed bandit.

Darryl my fav

yeah merles raw he would have me mad as fuck sometimes though. what part are you at?

lmao i don't wanna ruin the shit with spoiler discussion now.

The books are dope too, they know the books got legions of fans so they change alot of shit up with the show.

what other shows are you sleeping on that people have recommended?

cuz out of all the good shows this is probably at the very bottom

i still think its good, and keep up with it, but you know what i mean.

i feel like if you slept on this there are a ton of shows you slept on that are much better

the books are dope but they're wack in there own way to. they bring more realism, like actually having WINTER, where the zombies get frozen in place and shit

but on the other hand its completely unrealistic, a dude with a tiger. lol. like it aint hard enough to scrounge up food for yourself, but you gotta feed a tiger too, and not just feed him but overfeed him enough to not kill you

Nah for the most part I've seen pretty much everything else that would interest me.

The Wire
B. Empire
B. Bad
Lost
Oz
True Blood (Some, it started getting hella wack to me)
Treme

Those are series I've peeped within the last 2 years... Oz I had to rewatch to understand it more cuz I watched it when I was in HS & was obv too young.

I wanna see Deadwood & (more)Homeland... I also hear The Blacklist is good for a basic cable tv show.

What would u recommend tho??

I'm sure I'm leaving a series or two out as well..

I'm on season 3 episode 5 right now. NO SPOILERS LOL

I know Merle is dope tho.. dude cut off his own hand.

homelands aight. it fell off tho or wasnt as good when i was watching it week to week. i watched the first two seasons back to back and it had me like oh shit this is ILLLLLL. but then in season 3 i had a week to think about it each episode and decided it was horrible. lol. i'll keep watching if it comes back though

deadwoods dope though.

rome is the best show of all time probably. but i love ancient rome. you dont need to have a love for history tho, you can just watch it and still dig it. its top 5.

but word i don't know what to recommend tho. but if there is anything specifically people are telling you to watch and you aint interested, like you were with the walking dead, i can let you know if its worth it lol.

Oz was dope too
eastbound an down my shitt

Agreed on True Blood, it started off dope and got corny as fuck son.

Same with Dexter.

You ever see The Following?

Game of Thrones is my jam.

Ahh, Dexter I've seen as well.. started off dope then got shitty.. never seen the Following.. what's it about?

Game of Thrones I haven't gotten into.. but my niece loves it.

Eastbown & Down I've seen seasons 1 & 2... it's good for a comedic break from my fav crime thrillers.

OH.. I also peeped American Horror Story seasons 1 & 2.. it was cool.
@uh-oh, I'ma have to check out that Rome joint.

But yo, Boardwalk Empire is my favorite show right now.. I don't even think anything else comes close.. & season 5 is bound to be dope as a MOTHERFUCKA.

game of thrones is as good as it gets really. i read the books tho

so it probably isnt as dope to me as it would be to someone who hasnt read the books, so the whole thing is brand new

i put rome over game of thrones all day tho.

rome is fucking amazing and it hurts my soul no one ever brings it up.

one of the illest scenes of all time. when that old grizzled bear of a gladiator comes out. IM SAYING THO. but its littered with dope shit.

i like it cuz its REAL. it aint no prettied up bullshit. it aint like spartacus. it aint on some pretty russel crowe in gladiator

nothing else captures the gritty realism of ancient rome, like hbo's ROME.

what channel is rome on and can i stream it online

it was on hbo in the early 2000's i think. maybe mid 2000's.

you can probably stream it online, i just download and burn stuff tho so i wouldnt know which site to go to.

but it starts off in like 52 BC. with julius caesar on campaign in gaul. only 2 seasons but its just all epic shit

its all historically accurate, just a couple characters were made up. but they were real people, they just made new story arcs for them.

the two dudes in that vid. the one thats sentenced to death in the arena is titus pullo, and the one who saves him is lucius vorenas

in history they were both first spear centurions, meaning they were like sergeants or something i dont know what the modern equivalent is, but they directly commanded like a cohort or whatever its called of 100 soldiers. in history they were bad dudes who were rivals. they each would trade saving eachother in battle, like vorenas squad would be wavering and pullo would come and save him, and vice versa. they were equals under mark antony and caesar in caesars infamous 13th legion.

in the show tho, vorenas is still first spear centurion, but pullo is a common soldier under him.

its dope tho because it shows just about every social class in rome, from the first emperor(caesar) down to a pleb like pullo. and there are the slaves and everything in between

historical figures like HEROD and cleopatra etc

its dope as FUCK

but like i said i love ancient history and get boners for it. so any show that is good and follows the history as completely as ROME does is just amazing to me.

but without all my bias, its still one of the best shows ever made, the actors are fucking SOLID. the dude who plays mark antony is probably the GOAT just for his role in this

i was hoping they would give him the role of the king beyond the wall in game of thrones, but they gave it to the dude who played caesar instead. but the dude who played caesar was as rock solid as it gets too.

its really an A+ show.

Lold at the hint, subtle V
