Good episode last night.

Great ending!! That chick who plays Rick's wife is insanely hot.

But Wait There's More: What was with all the overturned cars on the highway? I could see a massive multi-car pileup if drivers encountered zombies, but what possible scenario could have resulted in overturned cars? Godzilla made a surprise appearance? The Superman II Phantom Zone villains?



I see only two. And I can easily see someone trying to take a bitten loved one to the hospital and having them change en route. That could easily prove to be a car flipping distraction.

Shane has the right idea even if for the wrong reason. Get the hell away from that trainwreck of a group. Take the blonde and bolt.

My main issue with the highway scene is that in the beginning of the episode, it was established they were driving on the inbound lanes of the highway going outbound from Atlanta whereas the standard outbound lanes were jammed up. Yet, when they get to the highway scene, they came across the flow of traffic onto the outbound side. Why not stay along the opposite flow that leads into the city knowing full well that anyone leaving a zombie infestation would not venture into the city to be put into the line of contagion?

Zombies don't limp Subby. They shamble. Limp implies one good leg.

They're making this up as they go along. You'll only be disappointed in the end.

I'm glad the boy got shot and the girl is lost. Kids just get in the way.

/Oh yeah, spoiler alert if you didn't see it.

skinink: I thought the episode had too much filler. The extra half hour could have been trimmed off. And what kind of parent lets the kids wander around a potentially dangerous area?


My thoughts as well. They really didn't need the extra 30 minutes, the church scene was utterly pointless and did nothing to move the story along.

//Or read it.

But Wait There's More: What was with all the overturned cars on the highway? I could see a massive multi-car pileup if drivers encountered zombies, but what possible scenario could have resulted in overturned cars? Godzilla made a surprise appearance? The Superman II Phantom Zone villains?

I wondered that as well. It isn't like zombies go around flipping over cars. I heard all this buzz about the Walking Dead and watched a portion of the season 1 replay and the episode last night and I just don't get the hype. I didnt care for it.

I laughed so hard when he was looking through the binoculars and saw one zombie, then 50, then you see that he is about 20 ft from a massive crowd of zombies.

skinink: At least it has to start off with the mystery of who shot at the deer.

I'm surprised it wasn't the girl. Now they have two pointless loose ends to tie up.

Also, that was the most jesus I've ever had in one hour of television.

star_topology: They're making this up as they go along. You'll only be disappointed in the end.

No, Lost ended, this is something else.

coco ebert: Needs moar zombies.

FFS why? Can't you find a video game to fulfill whatever empty fascination you have? Zombie scenes are like a goddamn drum solo, after 5 minutes of the same shiat its time for suicide.

Flappyhead: really didn't need the extra 30 minutes, the church scene was utterly pointless and did nothing

Yeah, that part was really incongruous with the rest of it.

You're in a zombie infested apocalypse looking for a little girl that may be getting eaten at that very moment so the logical thing is to . . . poor your heart out to a crude carving of zombie Jesus?

Come on people, he's one of them, he isn't going to help you.

/after the initial shock wears off you'd think people would lose their sentimentality pretty quick in that situation.

I was perfectly happy with last night's episode. The only part I didn't understand was when they said that the little girl was 12 years old. I thought she was more like 8. Maybe I misheard something. And why do they think it is a good idea to let her carry that doll around everywhere with her? I would think having two usable hands would be completely necessary...

First of all the extra 30 minutes was for 17 minutes of extra commercials and secondly the church scene was all about :

Verizon compresses the crap out of the signal so 1080p looks about as good as 480i.

/you're making me want to go back to Comcast and I hate Comcast
//good episode tho

Plus the only way to make them interesting is to have the characters trapped somewhere. That works once in a while but keep doing it and the audience will quickly tire of watching obviously stupid characters repeating the same mistakes.

The show is full of stupid crap like that. What really gets on my nerves is when characters act a certain way or say something just to facilitate the next thing happening, even if that action or statement is totally against character.

Most over-rated show on tv. It's only got the ratings because people like zombie-apocalypse. 20 years from now we will wonder how we could ever sit through an episode.

People are going to cling to the budget rumours from the off season and say "THEY CHEAP NOW BRING MORE ZOMBIES" when in reality, season 1 didn't have an over the top amounts of zombies either.

JanusofZeal: I hope the children and every woman on the show dies. Hate 'em all. I actually cheered when the deer was shot.

The only one that should live is the old man. They should all get bitten, and start the show over with a new group of less annoying people.

That's what happens when you take Frank Darabont out of the Director's chair and get new writers too. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season holds up.

Malcolm_Sex: People are going to cling to the budget rumours from the off season and say "THEY CHEAP NOW BRING MORE ZOMBIES" when in reality, season 1 didn't have an over the top amounts of zombies either.

Outside of the horde at the end of episode one and the beginning of episode 2 I can't really think of any big zombie moments, and that was pretty clever. It gave the impression that it only takes a few to bring down the entire group.

The Angry Hand of God: I was perfectly happy with last night's episode. The only part I didn't understand was when they said that the little girl was 12 years old. I thought she was more like 8.

I have a vague memory of the first moments of the first episode of a little girl with a doll much like hers. Could be wrong it has been ages.

pudding7: SuperKate: JanusofZeal: I hope the children and every woman on the show dies. Hate 'em all. I actually cheered when the deer was shot.

The only one that should live is the old man. They should all get bitten, and start the show over with a new group of less annoying people.

the old man should die first because he won't get rid of his piece of shiat RV and trade up for new one with running water and air conditioning.

Fine, just kill em all. That would actually make a good episode.

If you were a 12 year old girl, which most of you are, where would you go if lost in the woods? Oh, that's right, towards the sound of a church bell. Never mind the fact that there should be no electric church bell,what with the power off and all.

And there weren't a bunch of overturned cars, dolts. Hell, they even started siphoning gas out of the dead cars.

If you guys can come up with a better scenario for zombieland, write it and sell it. Until then, STFU.

/still don't get why they keep the old, piece of shiat RV when better options are on the highway.

In defense of the RV : It makes a good lookout tower, has a toilet and beats a rayon tent for keeping out the zeds

Oh God I was ready to throw a remote at the tv with all those breaks. Now I had no trouble with having a scene like they did in the church, it just didn't fit with the story and really dragged everything down. Even the ending flet like a big "Oh crap we really screwed this one, quick someone write a cliffhanger!".

Roja Herring: My only gripe about last night's episode is, what Baptist Church has a Catholic Jesus?!

THANK YOU.

Roja Herring: My only gripe about last night's episode is, what Baptist Church has a Catholic Jesus?!

True, Baptist churches have empty crosses to represent the Resurrection. Its obvious, the writers in California have never been to a Baptist church.

Of course, it was a Baptist church with ELECTRICITY to run the speakers that played the bells.

And the noisy bells DID NOT ATTRACT ZOMBIES. Yes, the zombies that are attracted by dropping a barrel from a small pistol, just ignore the noisy ass bells.

They were indeed, magical bells.

Great episode. Wonderful intensity and mystery being built. Haven't read the literature, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this season unfolds.
