The Walking Dead 1x01: Days Gone By

[ThPrime]

Ratings are in. This show might get as many seasons as MAS*H

Total blowout. Highest rated anything for AMC. Highest cable premiere of 2010. Beat most of NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX for the week. And that was in spite of the leaked screener, World Series, and Sunday Night Football.

Obviously graduates of the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.

Dude, you’re really a master in referencing. Sadly the Clone Marksmanship Academy had to cut costs after the war and rebranded itself.

So it’s essentially the beginning of 28 Days Later? Why didn’t he get eaten while he was unconscious?

Clearly he has to be some kind of Special! lol

A horse is an excellent idea.

Hmmmm, d’oh!

You really get the sense that no one is really safe. When he put the gun to his own head, I was certain that he was done for. I like the idea that even a main character can be in genuine jeopardy.

Just like the original idea of how Jack’s character would end up after the pilot.

I’m usually not a zombie show type of guy, but this one caught my attention for now.

Feel the same way as you. I was skeptical that even would wanna watch it, even with Bear’s score. So I gave it a try and stopped after 10 minutes. But today I thot: “Screw it!” and enjoyed it.

Well the horse was a bad frakkin idea. Mobile lunchtime. Where’d the helecopter come from?

“Mobile Lunchtime” Ossim!! lol

Makes me wonder if animals can turn too. I noticed there were buzzards picking at a dead guy on the tank.

Yeah, I also wondered if we’ll see the horse again, being like the Nazgul horse.

Against my better judgement decided to watch this. I am not a zombie flick kind of person, always disturbs me on a fundamental level. I have recently read World War Z which changed my thinking slightly, so I watched this.

Pure awesome. Still disturbing…can’t stand the moment of the guy looking down the scope at his zombie wife. Zombie children freak me the frak out.

Cops can’t hit nuthing.

Thank You I thought I was the only person to notice that it was like the A-Team out there!!

I really liked the first episode. My only beef was the main character’s Southern Accent was not very Southern, lol! Is the actor American?

I think he’s English, actually.
