nods to the comics are always cool, although I think this is an example of it not being executed too well. when Rick woke up, I think the more sensible choice of action would be to whisper "Carl...". instead he went with the good old reliable "wheeze and groan like a zombie while reaching out and trying to grasp in as creepy a manner as possible." I almost thought for a moment he was trying to get himself killed because he felt he was too much of a burden to his son.
in general, anyone who thought this was gonna be a huge mega action episode hasn't been paying attention these past 4 years. the first episode of each half season is always a setup, to establish the environment and the state of the characters. never have they done the big slaughter/firefight to kick things off. you don't have to like it, but if you were preparing yourself to get your socks knocked off, I don't feel sorry for you.
