    That's what bugs me about most zombie movies. If one drop is all that it takes to infect someone, then there's no way to not get infected when you're wrestling around with one of them.

    I thought these had to bite you? The one drop of blood is more 28 Days Later (speaking of things 100x better than TWD).

    Has nothing to do with the teeth but rather what's in the saliva. Whatever's in the saliva is in the blood too.

    So it spreads Ike AIDS. Therefore you can't fuck hot zombies either.

    Fortunately I have never seen a hot zombie.

    Time to get ready for the game. Enjoy your Zombie AIDS everyone!

    Finally got around to watching it. Wasn't crazy about it. Moved too slow and they're taking too many liberties with the story (differing from the books).
    That was the best part of the episode, story-wise. They handled it a little funny. The 10 minutes of staring in wonder and awe made it stupid.

    That's what made it so outrageous. Staring in awe at a Deer in the middle of the woods while this little girl is out there. Then you let your kid go and approach it. It just seemed so stupid. Then his ass paid the price.

    Don't understand either how only getting bit or scratched can affect you. An earlier episode they fuckin covered their whole bodies with their guts and walked around. Some of the shit that pisses me off with this show.

    Lets hope both the kids are Zombiefied so they don't waste episodes looking for a lost kid in the woods.

    Agreed. The first 20 minutes or so was pretty entertaining and then after that I couldn't give a flying fuck.

    Love that they are straying from the books. As a reader who loved the books, I actually like not knowing where the story is going at all times.

    This product placement was pretty heavy-handed: http://www.gerbergear.com/Apocalypse

    And yes, I would absolutely buy all of those.

    But they're better, damn it!

    I'd buy them too.

    The new hundai was way more over the top, and tasteless. A new green hundai just sitting there all dusty? Fuck that shit

    Also not very believable that a cop from Kentucky would pick a Hyundai. I'm sure he'd look for the nearest Ford Explorer.

    They absolutely HAVE to sell out for product placement.


    You know how much is costs to pay people to put zombie makeup on the extras, special effects, editing, locations, craft service, etc?

    You think the network is paying out of pocket here?


    Despite my criticisms, it's not realistic for a Country boy to have a set of knives?

    Think it's more believable than them fixing an RV from 1950 which keeps breaking down over and over instead of taking one of the 30,000 abandoned newer cars on the highway.

    Wait, was the hundai a hybrid? SOmething really gas efficient may have made some sense.

    They go into detail about this in the comics alittle bit, but I'll refrain from posting spoilers.
