Actually, they introduced a Newer Black Guy, should we start a dead pool for which gets killed?
First thing I said when I saw him. Although all the fresh faces who didn't get names probably means the body count is going to be high... Just out of curiosity: are you saying that because of all the "don't give them names" talk in the episode or because of the nature of the show in general? |

I've been wondering for years how people stay healthy after being so close to well ventilated rotting meat... and having infected blood sprayed all over them over and over and over. Why wouldn't mosquito bites kill you if they bite an infected person and then you?
I am worried about Daryl. I think he should be one of the safer characters on the show... but on this show, being one that shouldn't be killed is a pretty good reason to expect being killed.

Daryl would've been safe if the video game based on him hadn't failed spectacularly.

I feel that's truer for the comic than it is for the show. I can't think of too many characters who have died on the show that people were upset about. |

Depends on the people: If you didn't know the comics, some deaths were more unexpected. And some people really liked comic characters that are no longer with us on TV. I feel that's truer for the comic than it is for the show. I can't think of too many characters who have died on the show that people were upset about. |

I think that is more because we have a "passive" version of the virus already that our immune system is apparently suppressing because it only takes over and brings us back when we're dead. So small amounts of the virus in blood splatter doesn't arm us. I think the virus, the active version you have to amputate for and what we assumed was the only version of the virus since season 1, mostly concentrated in the mouth.... though this show has no rules on what zombies actually do to people. Do they always eat who they catch? do they num on people for a while than move on? can a single zombie dismember you before you turn if your left alone? If so, is the only way the world ended so quickly so far (not counting we come back from the dead anyway when we die) is because we were actually too good at rescuing people from zombie attacks? |

Zombie bites don't turn you, they kill you. It's just that since everyone is infected, once you're dead you turn.

To be fair, they did have a scene of passing on farming knowledge in this episode. As for the doctoring, he taught Carol a bunch last season due to Lori's pregnancy. That being said... |

Regarding all of the comments about this episode, I've decided to treat this show like True Blood in my head, not Breaking Bad. There's no point expecting logical story lines, consistent reasoning or believable character behavior. If I decide that it's just entertaining fluff, but with zombies, then I think I'll enjoy it a lot more.
Given that approach I thought that was a solid opening episode.

FFS - I hadn't realised this had started up again and started re-reading this thread. Not even itunes advertised it - the joys of living in Australia.
Downloading Ep1 now for consumption tonight.

The tents outside of the supermarket were a total nod to DayZ, including the blood bags on the floor.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Ok, the wife and I were wondering, after watching the first episode, if the rest of the season is just going to be two blokes talking in a tent.
Because it really looked like the blew the Whole Fucking Budget.
Good start !

The stuff so far is foreplay. It provides a nice riddle, but the meat is coming fast. If you wateched the clip in Talking Dead, you might have the same guess that I do about what is coming next. It should be a spectacle, regardless of the story. And then there are old friends to come back....
I'm hopeful this will be a great season.

Carol is really coming into her own this season.
Also, whoever decided to have Marilyn Manson on Talking Dead is a retard.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.
