I must've missed that too. I didn't realize that was main guys (whats his name again) wife and son. Wow. Now that you mention it that whole interaction between them makes more sense.

After the scene in the campground, it goes back to Rick and he's looking at a picture of his family and it was the same woman and kid as the scene previous.
Really enjoyed the premiere. When he was under the tank, that was pretty intense.
Can't wait till next week.

I am pretty sure that boy was his son (I can't remember pictures). What I mean is that Rick will meet his son next episode. In the comic he meets his son right after the tank, how ever in the comic he doesn't go in the tank, someone else comes to rescue him.

First off Horror scares the pants off of me.
The show scared the pants off of me and blew my socks off. This is a the perfect dramatic humanistic tragity that "studies" the interactions of mankind in a fictional world. OMFG I loved the premire and I, again, am terrified of horror. This show is filled with tragedy and human emotion.
Opening scene a child's head is blown off! Why The Face!
I am looking forward to this whole series.
Lets talk about The Walking Dead!

Watched it last night after seeing so many ads for it while watching crappy old horror movies on AMC over the last month. I found the premier to be very meh, the production and visuals where great but the acting, and writing I found very weak. The main guy really didn't seemed to be to bothered after waking up in a post apocalyptic world that has been over run by zombies. I found it strange that he didn't ask one question as to how, why, or when any of this happened. The camp scene was down right awful, the exchange between his wife and partner was just terribly acted, it reminded me of some of the acting from those old horror movies that I'd watched. I nearly burst out laughing.
All and all I don't think I'll be spending anymore time with this series.

Does there need to be spoilers in this thread? I'm guessing most of us haven't read the comic series. Would like to frequent this thread, but not if spoilers are posted.

I really liked it, something different on TV. Yes, Zombie moves can be found by the dozens but a well done zombie show is welcome by me.

28 Days Later stole its whole premise from the book "Day of the Triffids." In it, the protagonist wakes up in a hospital after having his eyes worked on. He had them bandaged during a meteor shower everyone seen and went blind from. So everyone's walking around all zombie-like in the hospital and outside because they can't see. He goes outside and London is completely empty, etc., etc., and it ends with the authour exploring how human society would react to such a catastrophe, just like 28 Days Later.
If anything, 28 Days Later should be sued for ripping off a classic sci-fi novel! The writer of 28DL even admits to being "inspired" by DotT. If they can do it, it's free game for The Walking Dead, IMO.

I thought the writing and character development was sort of spotty, not as good as some AMC programs, but still better than 90% of the TV shows out there (and 99% of zombie movies). In particular, the misogynistic partner hooking up with his wife seemed sort of hackneyed, but on the other hand the father/son/zombie wife part was extremely well-done.

The camp scene was fine. It sets up well because there is just some things you don't do even in post apocalyptic zombie horror, which is sleep with your friend and co-workers wife after you just left him for dead a month earlier.

I think he didn't ask any questions because like other zombie movies the writers have many hours to explain the plot rather than an hour and a half. It will come.
Sunday is now my must watch TV night with this and Boardwalk Empire.

I loved it. I also had a zombie dream last night ... so I wasn't too keen on that.

Apparently it pulled a 3.3 rating last night which is pretty amazing for a cable series ... pretty close (if not better) than True Blood ever did, and almost 4 times the highest-ever rating for Mad Men.
