I was a bit worried about the scariness myself before watching (I hate the typical scaring tactics such as monsters suddenly appearing from some dark corner combined with some very fast camera cuts in a scene), but the pacing of this episode's tension is more like a thriller than a typical B grade horror movie. It's an intelligent type of scaring where you worry about the character and how the story is progressing naturally, rather than what kind of lighting tricks and split second camera actions the director is going to use. There were several instances where I expected some cheap trick to happen but much to my liking it never happened in the way I feared. There are of course some events that are wholly unexpected for the main character, but it all fits in the story and it's not done to freak out the viewer as such.I'm an average viewer. As plain as they come. People make TV shows based on my demographic.

The Walking Dead certainly livened things up Halloween night: The zombie-centric series gave AMC its highest premiere ratings in history Sunday, pulling in 5.3 million viewers. Walking Dead attracted 3.6 million adults 18-49, 3.1 million adults 25-54, and 2.1 million adults 18-34. And the premiere didn’t just break records for AMC — it boasted the highest debut for any 2010 cable series. “It’s a good day to be dead. We are so proud of this series, its depth of storytelling and the remarkable talent attached,†Charlie Collier, AMC’s president, said in a press release. “As the network dedicated to bringing viewers the best stories on television, we are so pleased to have the opportunity with ‘The Walking Dead’ to raise the bar within this popular genre and continue our commitment to being the home of premium television on basic cable.â€

i couldn't be happier with this show so far, and i've read and re read every comic thus far. nothing short of mind blowing that frank darabont worked so hard for this show to come about.Jack O'Neill - "Hammond is insisting SG-1 needs a sociopolitical nerd to offset our overwhelming coolness."
