A little nitpick about The Walking Dead: it's too quiet. There's moments when it makes you think you accidentally hit mute. I know it's supposed to be ~suspensful~ but, ah, it's not really. I watched an extended version of the pilot and it was especially noticeable in that. It's better at normal episode length though.

Apart from that, I'm liking it. A note though, Lori and Shane slept together ONCE in the comics, in a very desperate and sad way, and she regreted it for a long time, and that's who she is as a character, so seeing her actively persuing the thing with gusto just feels a bit wrong to me, as a reader of the comics. I get that they're going for more ~drama~ but it's not like there's that many female characters at this point, and introducing her as The Cheater is just not very nice.

Anyway, Glenn! Andrea! Token Racist guy is new, and I can tell he's going to annoy the hell out of me. Overall good changes on the 'getting out of Atlanta' thing for the storyline sake. I like the added racial diversity. Zombies were fun, which is a given.

Mostly though, I just CAN'T WAIT for a certain sword-wielding lady to appear! PLZ TO BE SOON. But at the current pace, it just smells like season 2 to me. NOES. She's the most badass lady ever and I want her in the show now. YES. It's a bit weird to be seeing the beginning because serious shit has gone down in the comics, and it's sooo different by now. Still, good.

Rule number one about The Walking Dead: NEVER GET ATTACHED TO ANYONE.
