Bump obviously never saw the original Night of the Living Dead, which was probably the first of the modern zombie movies. It explained very clearly that all newly dead people come back as flesh-eating zombie monsters.

If the only way to become a zombie is to be bitten by a zombie, how in the hell could there be so many zombies all of a sudden, anyway?

One of the other interesting touches I noticed:

They made Shane make zombie-like noises quite a few times throughout that episode prior to turning. They made him very zombieish before he even died. When he comes in to sort of talk to the kid in the barn, he sounds like a zombie. He also does when he smashes his face into the tree.

Maybe the human immune system can only fight it for so long.

Nice nod to the comics to have Carl finish off Shane, even if you could see that result coming a mile away.

Great episode from the opening scene to the end.

Anyone else think that Lori set up the final "duel" between Rick and Shane? In one episode she puts the "Shane is crazy" bug in Rick's ear and then she tells Shane that she does not know who's kid she is carrying. She played each of them off of each other.

why are there 5000 walkers just hanging out right next to the house?

Yeah. I was just thinking as artistic foreshadowing (which this show is excellent about if you watch episodes twice or read plot summary/spoiler prior to watching an episode). This show is really developing artistically. It's a little heavy handed with the symbolism at times, but I really like the almost allegorical feel they're achieving.

There was mention that the creekbed was protecting the farm, and is now drying up. But yea, that was slightly over the top.

Damned hippie zombies living in the forest.

Swamp is gone and they suddenly have a hankering for beef.

Anyone else have a problem with Randall telling Shane that his camp of 30 some odd people is only 5 miles away next to a major road?

The scene/set that shows Shane and Rick facing each other on the hill in the moonlight was absolutely fantastic.

And the gunshot brought them. Carl gets Dale killed, kills Shane, now it looks like the farm is toast.

Carl, we're not saying you ****ed up, but you ****ed up.

Yeah, I'd say the farm is finally a thing of the past. About time I might add.

Ricks a ninja when it comes to the quick kill with either knife or gun. Awesome episode.

The zombie "herd" is from the comics.

Quote:

Zombies follow and mimic each other, which can result in enormous herds traveling together, "walking nonstop, following a sound they've all forgotten," as Abraham put it.

I'm guessing Hershel goes down with his farm next week....

I like the fact that they're willing to kill off two major characters in back-to-back episodes.
