It was an intense scene to say the least; like the beginning to Inglorious Basterds, or for MMF the scene with Erik Lensherr in the bar with Nazi's. A scene filled with exposition that builds up to a climax of deathly proportions.
Right when they walked in I knew what was going to happen; but you had no idea how exactly it would play out. I thought the old man would die somehow, so they could find a way to write off his character (they could have ended his arc now). But nope, Rick went all badass and killed the classless jerks off.
Oh and +1 for the buildup on man vs. man, rather than just man vs. walkers. Walkers can only get you so far until they become a tad stale (every walker is the same after all). But, with these new people they can really explore what it takes to survive in the new world. I feel bad for Rick though, as his current group is a tad depleted in combat skills to say the least.
I also hope someone actually calls walkers "zombies" eventually. I always find it strange that in all these different types of movies and series that no one ever calls the living undead, zombies. It's like they were totally unaware of the existence of zombies from movies, comics, or other mediums before this happened. But, that would mean these universes are completely different then our own... Although I guess they are just pulling a Shaun of the Dead where they do not want to equate walkers to zombies, or the living dead.
