I think they've established that the characters have "genre blindness," meaning they don't know anything about zombies. You'll notice that they never use that word.

Genre blindness is pretty important for serious zombie fiction, if the characters are too well versed in zombie lore, it'd be too self aware and just become parody. Even Shaun Of The Dead didn't go so far as having the characters immediately know what to do.

Man this show is really great at making incredibly clumsy social commentary. But also really really intense.

It always blows my mind when I remember that Norman Reedus is 41.

That was one hell of a character body count for one episode. Though, I guess with only two more episodes they need to speed things up a bit.
On that note, I really didn't like the whole thing with the Mexican gang. It was clunky, and given how little time is left in this season, I thought it would have been time better spent developing existing characters.
ALSO: Amy's poignant death scene was ruined for me because I couldn't get past the fact that her sister was CRADLING THE DEAD BODY OF SOMEONE WHO WAS JUST BITTEN. I was amazed that everyone just stood around watching instead of putting a bullet in her head.

I loved the Vatos' abuela. When she was in the middle of all the guns like it was nothing.

I'm happy that this show is just taking the lead and running. I hate how a lot of shows have the first season as just introduction and take thier time explaining the base of it. Walking Dead is just like BAM!

My brother had it on the DVR, I'm on episode 3 so far. Too bad our free AMC runs out just before the last episode

Just watched the first episode and I loved it. I'm pissed I go back to school today for 3 weeks because I can't download torrents and I know I'm going to get hooked on this show.

It's sort of strange that AMC doesn't put any of the other episodes up to stream. Are they hoping that people not being able to catch up will boost DVD sales?

that was possibly the best episode yet. I really wish this season had more than six episodes
