About Shane.

I know they said that he'd be around much longer than his comic counter-part, but it really seems like he's already heading down the same path, and just as quickly.
 
So the racist is dead, I presume? The locked door was the only exit off the roof I think and no sign of a body, so he must have jumped off and killed himself.

And then waiting again until this time next year for next season?

Nah. Doubt he's dead.

Carl shoot Shane.

Woah who are those other people in the preview? They must be new.

That's a MAJOR spoiler, you really should've warned people :/.



FANTASTIC episode. So good. Just about on level with the Pilot (don't know if it's better, though). The music was sooo good tonight too.
 
Wow Carol is completely different from her comic counterpart. She barely even resembles the same character.

God, that scene of Shane beating up Ed was so powerful. So many wonderful moments in this one. That, Rick and his family, and Merel on the roof. Intense stuff.
 
This is so stupid. The zombies features in The Walking Dead are literally reanimated dead corpses. Without a working immune system, nature would wreak havoc on these shambling husks of rotting flesh. Warm weather would quickly rot their flesh and bloat their bodies, and since they're unable to heal from bodily harm, they would accrue so much accidental damage that they'd soon be unable to move at all. Wild animals and insects would feast on this extremely easy prey, since their awareness and reaction time is extremely low, and they have no real defense mechanism aside from biting. I mean, these things can't run, they can't climb, they can't can't even swim. Just go hang out on a yacht and party for awhile. Or climb onto a roof.

Speaking of bites, how on earth did this become an epidemic in the first place? From bites? What a moronic way to spread a disease. Especially when the bites are from things you could literally speed-walk away from, and with mouths not designed for attacking in the first place. If you can let an extremely slow, groaning, half-rotten corpse get so close to you that he/she can bite you, then you're probably the dumbest person on earth. The CDC must not exist in this fictional universe, as a simple quarantine would've stopped the zombie apocalypse after Patient Zero. Even if you conveniently ignored the military capabilities of our nation and let nature take its course, this so-called "zombie apocalypse" should have begun and ended by the time the main character awoke from the hospital.

In short, The Walking Dead features a flawed and utterly moronic premise. It could have been avoided simply if the "zombies" were people infected with some mutated strain of rabies. I expected much more from such a highly-celebrated series.

I really hope you're joking around. If not I think this warrants a ban.

Also I'm a bit concerned about this season structure. Only 6 episodes and then nearly a full year before the show returns. I can see it losing a lot of steam.
 
Yeah, I still liked the pilot better, but I thought the pilot was so outrageously excellent that this was still an amazing episode.

^^Futile when it's a major COMIC spoiler you need to label it as so. IE:
COMIC SPOILER
blah blah blah

Since when is it only bites. I'm pretty sure it's implied that it even infects you if the blood gets into you in any way. Could happen through the water system, food people eat, and so on.
 
That was miles ahead of episode 2. I really like Shane or maybe its the actor. Either way, he is becoming one of the best characters in the show and his last scene coupled with the music...wow. Bring on episode 4!
