Dude I've read the comics and I didn't even see it coming.

Pretty good opening.

But I hate dumb plot holes like being in a huge field of vehicles which obviously have drivers, keys etc everywhere and then worried about fixing the stupid winnebago?!?

Just go get a nice new range rover or something, haha

What I don't get is why are there just dead people strewn around that huge field of vehicles. Shouldn't they have been turned into zombies? Or did they just sit in their cars slowly dying, going "welp, I'm done trying"?

Yes, plenty of holes that are difficult to reconcile, even in a movie revolving around zombies. I'm trying to overlook them, but it's not easy. In Zombieland, they picked up an Escalade and a Hummer. Pretty sure I'm going down that same path if I'm one of the survivors in The Walking Dead.

Spoiler!

For some reason I thought that Carl was going to end up killing Shane once the group split

I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the episode too.

One thing you learn from the comics is that there is no happiness. Just when you think something good might happen, that usually means someone is about to get ****ed.

Yea I could see that from a mile away last night.

Music cue'ing up. Smiles creeping up from characters who are constantly going through hell...then boom! gutshot

I think it has to do with the fact that it is more a house on wheels. Beds to sleep in and all that. Plus, he might be trying to hang onto something that is his, a security thing.

It's got it's advantages, get on top, high vantage point, lots of room for passengers and supplies, restroom.

Wow, I’m cracking up at how many things I’m running across and I’m going…..yeah, just what I thought! I’m TRYING not to pick it to pieces, but I can’t help it.
The black guys arm was cut DEEP about a foot long right down his forearm. I thought he’d die, yet an hour later he’s all good.
Why why why are there so many dead people in those cars that aren't zombies? the most glaringly stupid thing yet on the show.
They KNOW they can’t just go shooting guns whenever they want, so where are all the hatchets, machetes, swords, etc.
EVERYONE should have a gun. Come ON!
You know, when you’re driving down the road wondering when zombies are gonna jump out at you, you really want to be on a motorcycle! By the way, the guy on the bike, the hunter with the crossbow…..is he a Boondock saint??

One last thought, the partner who wants to sneak off, he’s hesitant to take the hot blonde because why??? He’s….gay?

I do like this show though…..

Wow

Killer ratings

Yeah, not so much criticizing the motor home choice, although I'd probably try to find one that didn't come off the assembly line in 1970. I was more on the lead car(s) with my comment. Not to mention the one guy who's rolling on a bike that could be heard for miles.

[kaplin42]

The motorcycle bothered me too. If sound is what draws them, then maybe a loud bike like that is not the answer.

[Munson]

Great opening episode last night! Anybody know how many episodes there are this season?

[Dunit35]

6 or 7 with the same following in February. Read it somewhere on this thread.

Did that blonde have two guns? When she is being taught how to clean hers, she shows him a stainless steel pistol and 20 minutes later it was a blued finish.
