Does AMC have ads? I've watched the first two on Apple TV, going to catch it on TV tonight...Sure hope it's commercial free.

Yes, there are commercials.

Shaw has it on VOD (in HD) for free a day or two after the episode airs without any commercials. As long as you have AMC in your package, I assume.

Holy crap, great episode tonight. The reunion between main guy and his wife and son was really well done. I thought they pulled off the emotion well without any real cheese about it.

I thought I had missed something when main guys wife was made at main guys buddy, but the revelation that he told them he was dead was interesting.

The end was great too, can't wait for episode 4.

I think at that point the Zombies were pretty much on his doorstep, no?

Might be easier to go through some muscle and bone over metal chain. I don't know.

Definitely a solid reference to Saw right there.

I've never been handcuffed, but I've seen them, the chain isn't exactly beefy. I'm willing to go with it, just seems like the worst choice, the zombies never made it to the roof due to the chain on the door, but I guess he didn't know they couldn't get through.

Yeah, I understand, but then we have to think that these characters are humans, and humans make silly crazy decisions, most of the time.

The guy then fell off the roof, landed in a porthole, and slid out to the bottom of Cloud City, waiting for the Millenium Falcon to pick him up.

A solid episode with a cool ending. Is it possible to cut thru hand cuffs with a rusty hacksaw?? Maybe I've seen the original Saw too many time, but I have a hard time seeing that saw cut thru those chains. And maybe I've seen too many movies, but if you're willing to saw your hand off, would you not be willing to break your thumb or dis-locate it and pull your hand thru the cuff?? Maybe that part isn't possible, I dunno. Whatever, the ending was still awesome.

We also had some questions answered. I remember after Ep 1, in Mike F's long post detailing what he didn't like, he questioned why the wife and son just gave up on their father/husband and moved on with their life pretty easily. Well, we found out in tonight's episode. Pretty cool spin there. The rest of Mike F's post was ridiculous and just old fashioned nit picking. That's the beauty of tv shows and why you should never judge them after one episode. There's always plenty of time for questions to be answered. I'm sure we will have more question answered as we go along.

Maybe it was easier and faster to cut his own hand off, he was wigging out pretty good to begin with..maybe jeebus cut his hand off for him.

Maybe that helicopter in Ep1 picked him up off the roof...

It's already been renewed for a second season (13 episodes), to go along with the 6 for this season.

given that the wife nailed her husband and the best friend in quick succession, i'm gonna guess that now she's pregnant and a "whose baby is it" storyline will develop for season 2. i haven't read the comics, but it seems like a very convenient plot twist

I would really like to know more about how the virus came to be. I am aware that people started getting sick, getting the terrible fever that would kill them, but I would like to know why they turn into walkers. Hopefully as this season goes on and into next season, the story can describe this to the audience

You never find out, the zombiepocolypse stops becoming the focus of the story.

I think you'll be disappointed. I haven't read the comics on which the show is based, but my understanding is that in seven years of publication, they've never really gone into any details about what caused the initial outbreak.
