Now episode four (Chupacabra) and we find a hidden barn full of walkers... Yes, a hidden barn full of walkers.
I didn't expect that!
And Daryl (Norman Reedus) had a gym-dandy adventure. He was work the price of admission alone.
Shane is arguing with Rick about the wisdom morality of certain things. Like why spend days searching for a lost child. why not continue on to Fort Benning?
Andrea will be the marksman of the group - she is in the illustrated volumes.
This is not going to be a fast moving story.

Re: The walking dead
This was the "SECRETS" episode and all those secrets that everyone is hiding seem to have crept out into the open.
I enjoy the drama and the zombie apocalypse world ...
I will say that if you watch "THE TALKING DEAD" at midnight it's worth the laughs. That gang is cruel, nasty and funny. It's like the relief of total silliness.

Re: The walking dead
I have never completely understood the popularity of Zombies and Vampires. I guess I am more a fan of crime drama and some sit-coms

Re: The walking dead
I'm not a big vampire fan because Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire was so well done and there (I think) were too many excellent "Dracula" variations out there.
Zombies actually come from Western PA and Pittsburgh. It's a local thing. I met Bill Cardille (the news reporter) and shopped at the mall that Romero used for the second movie. I see parts of Pittsburgh in the Romero movies.

Re: The walking dead
Gee that was a brutal episode. There are no more secrets. Otis did the barn thing. Herschel explains his philosophy and Shane goes off the rails.
Did you know that they cannot show a child being shot at close range on TV?

Re: The walking dead
Yes it is forbidden on TV and the movies. It will not reach the screen.
Think about Walking Dead's shows - in the first episode a zombie kid walks up to the sheriff and although he shoots her, they do not appear onscreen together. It is not the bullet in the head (which we do see repeatedly on the show (and was first done by Henry Fonda in "Once Upon a Time in the West (not a head shot but a blond little boy with lots of hair)) -- what is not done is to put the adult with the gun and the child in the same frame at the instant the trigger is pulled or the bullet hits. It's always a split and cut scene. It's never one long scene at a distance.
That was one hellish scene of the firing squad lining up and blasting the barn zombies, and then Sheriff Rick stepping up and doing the nasty deed. It was important that Shane didn't after all his bombast. A great lesson in how to play off strength against strength in characters and to make one weaker than the other as a climax.
