A thread in which to discuss the upcoming first season of Walker, which will premiere on September 7th, 2009, right here on MZP.

I'll begin by announcing that a teaser trailer will be launching on May Day, May 25th.

I assume this can be read without having read DSR but which episodes from that tie into this show?

Adam · « **Reply #3 on:** May 16, 2009, 03:02:02 PM »

Absolutely this can be read with no prior knowledge of either The DSR or Schism. If you wanted to get some background, though, the DSR season four episodes Atonement, Sins of the Mother and Black Chapter all have information about the series, and John Henry Boone has a brief appearance in the Schism episode Ruin.

Trix · « **Reply #4 on:** May 16, 2009, 03:04:19 PM »

Both shows are on my to read list, Schism easily in the next few weeks but DSR seems like a bit more of a catchup.

I do have until September though

I'll be glad to have you aboard, Trix.

I know I said with Schism you didn't need to read The DSR, but with Walker I genuinely mean it.

Adam and I have been planning this for over 2 years - boy, are we ready to see you guys enjoy it!

Very curious to see this new part of the Aliasverse. Given there are three virtual spinoff, it looks odd that the parent show didn't get one in the real world. Unless you say that MI:3 is Alias-The Movie (which it almost is).

Adam · « **Reply #8 on:** May 16, 2009, 04:57:39 PM »

In terms of tone, yes, I'd agree with you on that one.

The fact that it's a spin-off from Alias is a bit peripheral, though, given that this started life as a wholly original piece. The long origin story of Walker as a project will be discussed in some depth.

Tony O'Stark · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2009, 05:28:26 PM »

Yeah, it's loosely a spin-off really. It inhabits the same verse but if you've never seen Alias, you can totally read this. I very much doubt Alec Walker has ever even heard of Sydney Bristow!

Very cool episode graphics.

When did this pop-up?

Very interesting to read the latest chapter of the D.S.R.-verse. I call it that because it seems to be more rooted in the universe Tony set up, rather than the one initially established by J.J. Abrams and writers.

That's more accurate to say, Jake, and I'm glad to have you aboard for when we launch.

Hey, I missed this. Thanks Angelo!

Trix · « **Reply #14 on:** May 26, 2009, 05:31:13 PM »

Gave the teaser a read and it's a nice set up. I really will have to get cracking on those Schism and DSR episodes :P

James Swanson · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2009, 08:02:26 PM »

I read the teaser as well and thought that it was superb!

Can't wait for the fall!

Trix · « **Reply #16 on:** May 30, 2009, 08:03:58 PM »

I'm going to give it a go so if your reading I'll be right there with you.

Adam · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2009, 08:29:32 AM »

Hey, thanks guys! Be great to have you both aboard.

James Swanson · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:31:17 PM »

Question: Will I be able to understand the series, even though I haven't read The DSR or Schism?

James Swanson · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:49:28 PM »

I completely missed that. My bad!

Thanks for pointing it out to me Ian
