The Walking Dead Premier

[RyanW]

Tonight is the night, unless, like me, you have Dish Network.

I've never had an issue with my service, but I've been waiting for this premier, and I don't really get into TV shows at all. Walking Dead and Justified are the ones I try to watch though. I really Hope Dish Network resolves this issue before next weekend, or I am seriously considering cancelling my service and going with U-verse.

If you're in the same position i am, here's the link to watch it from the AMC site. You have to log in.

Is it known why dish dropped AMC?

Two big dogs having a pissing contest. There's some issue with dollars spent per contract, but the media is saying that the contract was loosely worded and open to a lot of interpretation of how the money was to be spent. They've dropped the entire line IFC, AMC, Sundance, and WE. Dish is claiming that AMC is too expensive, but they're going to lose a lot of customers over this debacle.

I've got Cock's Cable and I just finished season 2 on Netflix so I'm primed and ready for it.

I am so ready!!

Also I am so glad I dropped Dish for Direct TV a couple years back. Them not having local HD alone was reason to switch back then.

 

[RyanW]

Dish has local HD, and HD is free.

Has anyone used this link that wasn't a Dish user?

Not two years ago in my area. When I called to ask when they would, they had no answer.

I watched some of the episodes last night and today. I really want to make some of the rigs they use on the show, classic clean functional leatherwork. I really like how they do some of the rifle slings, looks like I'll be japanning some rivets this week.

Yep. You have to check the box saying your are (no way for them to know) then click the email verification they send you. Then go back to that link click "already registered" and type in your email... GTG!

Been watching the rerun marathon the better part of the day. They are running an anti-Dish campaign ad trying to pull people to Cox Cable.

 

[RyanW]

I hate it for you.

Say... if you come by the lab in the morning, we have a scheduled de-brief/after-action critique, featuring all of the lab rats who are fans of the show, and chaired by Charles. You can get the Reader's Digest version...

.

I'm only driving over there if I can get a crash course on becoming a Hi-pernt armorer too!

 

[RyanW]

I just hope the site doesn't crash and force me to miss anything.

I can't wait to see what Michonne is all about!

 

[RyanW]

I've avoided reading the comic, just to try to enjoy the show more

 

[Sugarbug]

Anyone able to get in with the link? Says it's down for me.

 

[sloppy joe]

michonne is a bad ass you want by your side for sure. andrea too.

"I've avoided reading the comic, just to try to enjoy the show more"

yea me too but after the last episode of season 2 i couldn't wait. the comic and show are different enough. at issue 103, im guessing the comic is at what we would call season 5 or 6.

the video game episodes follow a whole different group of people, some will tie into the comic and or show at some point.
