I watched it earlier today, and was quite impressed.
The pacing was great, the acting was pretty solid all around, and I was honestly surprised by how good the zombies looked too. The "bike girl" zombie in particular was fantastic: the way they were able to do it without making her look like a puppet or done with CGI, but actually look like someone who's been torn in half and is still moving around. Very impressive effects work. |

Just watched it. I'm not big into "zombie" stuff, but this was pretty good.
Was totally drawn in by everything. |

I have decided to read the comic book concurrently with the TV show.
So I'm gonna read up until it gets to the point where it leaves off in the latest episode. |

Well, that was fast. First ep = roughly one and half issues.

I watched this on demand last night and was blown away by the character development. This show is going places. Still can't believe his wife and kid are with his old partner from the force. I'd also like to know how long the main character was in a coma/the hospital.

What a bloody great first episode. Haven't been this excited about a tv show in a long time.

I've read the first few issues as well, and I'm really happy with how much the series is getting out of it.
There's really a lot of potential there in a television series to delve much deeper. |

I kinda feel as though his wife was cheating on him with his partner before the coma, but I dunno...havent seen the books.
Downloaded in HD because I missed the premier and loved it. Hour long episode was better than Romero's last 3 films. |

really good show. I'm glad they are pacing everything to build the characters the horse getting nabbed sucked though. hate watching animlas die. I really believed the Sheriff was a goner for a second. love the forshadowing when Morgan says to the sheriff watch you ass when you see a group of the dead. glad I found another show to watch as they are pretty thin right now |

Well you saw the partner leading up to where Rick gets shot. You later see the same guy kissing some woman. You then see a picture of this same woman and the kid in Rick's car.

Don't worry. The guy dropped his bag of tools including the hacksaw (Jim Duggan). Plus they'll go back for him.
Little will they know he's going to be free already. And very angry. DA DA DAAAAAAAA P.S. I haven't read the next issues. I'm just talking out my ass. But probably. |

At least she had the decency to take her ring off. The slag.
Good second episode. Maybe I just watch too much TV, but the instant I heard the first bit of thunder I thought "yeah, it's going to start raining and wash the zombie guts off them". |

I don't read/don't care about/know little about comics so I have no previous 'affiliation' to The Walking Dead but this is fast becoming one of my favourite shows.

I think they will because the sheriff wants his guns back and he'll already be there so I don't see him leaving the guy on the roof to die. Plus the blokes brother will surely make him go back. |

Covering themselves in Zombie guts to blend in was pretty clever. I've never seen a zombie story actually explore how zombies are able to detect humans, let alone see the humans pull something like that to try to blend in. In Shaun of the Dead they acted like zombies to get through a crowd, but that was more of a joke.
This presented an actual explanation. Hopefully they keep doing new things like that. |

I love the chick taking it in the ass right off the top of the show. It's like Brady Anderson hitting lead off HR's for the Orioles in the 90's

Probably the only form of effective post-apocalyptic contraception. Would you want to bring a child into a zombie infested world?

According to the Dawn of the Dead remake, if you are pregnant and you get bitten you will bear a zombie baby. If you are infected but have not yet become a zombie and you get a chick pregnant will she become a zombie or have a zombie baby? Is this covered in the books?

HEre is why I hate internet people. On another forum, a guy claimed he was never watching this show again, because the red card Glenn stole cant be hotwired in real life because it has a transponder key, and mistakes like that ruin shows.
For real. Who cares? |
