I love the comic, and I actually think I may end up liking this more. Everything they added in to extend the story was actually really enjoyable and it never felt like "here comes the filler!".

Perhaps it would work if The Walking Dead were taking a True Blood-style approach, but it clearly does not work with this show. And from everything I've read, the show and the comic are going to be two entirely different beasts, so I don't think using the comic book in the opening sequence is appropriate.
That said, it is an impressive piece of graphic design and animation. No doubt about that.

I went through the last few pages and haven't been seeing much discussion on the ratings, but apparently the pilot got TRIPLE the highest rated ever episodes of Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Dexter.

Oh what was the deal with the clocks freezing on the same time in different rooms when he was in hospital.

But I have photographic evidence of Gary Whitta murdering and then consuming a horse!SimleuqiR said:

Not true... Schools usually have their clocks power by the electricity so they can set them all to the right time.

Yeah, if the show follows the comic's story progression, get ready for some fucked up shit.

It was good. I enjoyed it. The part where he and the horse are trotting through the streets and nearly turn into a gigantic zombie horde made me gasp audibly; despite seeing numerous commercials, they still got me.
Seems like this show is tailor-made for me; I love incredibly dark material. I often think it's unrealistic
so I'm glad to hear that this show will embrace its ability to push the audience to its limits.

They've dropped the F-bomb a couple of times on Mad Men, but bleeped out.threenote said:
But yeah, it's not going to show up much. Not a huge loss, IMO. I've never found excessive use of profanity to be indicative of quality writing. Sopranos is probably one exception. It's hard to imagine mob types not swearing up a storm.

I loved it personally. Had a really cool vibe. Anyone know the cheapest site to pick up the comics in one book?

Well that should be expected when reading about the zombie apocalypse :lol
In the comic, are zombies slow or fast or mixed?

Slow enough that most people can just run away from them. However when they get close to someone they can lunge at them for a little burst of speed.demosthenes said:

Finally Watched this last night, and after months of hype, I feel like it paid off.
I have a huge affinity to Zombie films..so this show feels like it was made for me.
I like that the pilot didn't spend a lot of the time on the how and why, and instead focused on the characters emotions towards the world around them.
If this show keeps it up, we could have an all time favorite on our hands.

There's a couple of decent shots of me, all pretty quick though. And I'm only in the pilot, no subsequent episodes. This was probably the best shot, after Rick gets knocked off the horse (I'm on the right):Minamu said:Couple of questions! Is Gary Whitta clearly visible in this episode, or in any of the upcoming ones?Also, does anything happen to the crows that eat the zombie flesh? Seems like a pretty bad idea, in general.

Since it looks like AMC sold the rights for the series worldwide in record speed or something like that i managed to watch the first episode just a day after on a cable channel here in Chile, it looks like we are gonna get subsequent episodes just a day after their US broadcast which is fucking great. As for the show itself i really liked it, i think they are going to make this show more of a character drama which seems like the right choice, hopefully they bring back Lennie James because that guy is great.
