What Lies Ahead (201)

I enjoyed it. Nice opener for the season.
The zombie "herd" on the interstate was intense. Poor T-Dog though. Him slashing open his arm was grosser than the other zombie gore. And go Daryl. If there is one person they need to protect in order to stay alive, it's him. Andrea still annoys me, but then I've never much liked that character. Nitpick as that was no Baptist church like the sign said as they don't use images of Christ on the cross. Was spoiled on the final scene by the season previews so I was waiting for something to happen. Wasn't quite expecting that to happen, but certainly looking forward to where this is going to lead them.
I do wonder about why the giant traffic jam and there being bodies inside vehicles. Did the government have something to do with it?...like the soldiers murdering the hospital staff. Giant traffic jam I can see as the same thing happened when Hurricane Rita hit TX and people were evacuating north on the interstate from Houston. People sat for hours, but why the non-zombie bodies in cars like the one Carl got the weapons from?
Generally slow pace to the ep, but then the pilot episode, which I loved, had much the same pace, imo.IMO always implied.

I am ready for the mom & blondie to die. The mom seems like she is ready to sacrifice the entire group & blondie was a dick to Dale that saved her life. I bet the next time she gets trapped by zombies she will cry out for helpLast edited by TheRandomOne; 17 October 2011, 12:29 PM.

A little bit slow in the middle, both otherwise a terrific start to the season. I already can't wait for next week"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

I liked the whole Zombie herd thing. They stay together to have better chances as well, I would just like to know where they are going. Maybe some Zombie reunion in Miami.

Great premiere! That scene with the 'Zombie Herd' was one of the tenseset(sp?) scenes I have ever seen!
The part where Daryl cut open the dead Zombie was probably one of the goriest scenes of the show to date, no way in hell would that scene have even aired if this was on network TV.
ObviouslySpoiler:Carl lives
I wonder where thoseSpoiler:Choppers in the series trailer at the end of the episode came from
With the ratings shattering Basic Cable records, can you say Season 3?

Killing those that try to get out of a infected Area is one of those options and a very popular one at that. Since they couldnt put up blockades all around in time and the People were stuck in the traffic anyways they could just have releasesd poisonous gas in the Area.

On the helicopter issue, note that we've still not been given any resolution on the one that Rick saw flying over Atlanta in the series premiere. So I'm expecting that'll continue to come up"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people.

Still though, wonderfully tense sequence. Very very edge-of-the-seat!"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Looking implies they have some sort of intelligence, which they don't have. The zombies are just mindless husks running on pre-programmed auto pilot and instinct. I don't think they would even be capable of intentionally looking under cars in search of fresh meat.
That being said, if someone under the cars made a noise, that would alert them on an instinctive level and they might investigate, in the same way an animal might move somewhere because they hear a familiar sound.
I'd also point out that the decaying stench from those corpses would be pretty strong and would likely mask most of the odors coming from anyone living, especially if they have a corpse on top of them while lying on the ground. The zombies are still human, they don't have a sense of smell like a dog.
-----------------------------
I liked the sequence, it was very tense, although it seemed more tense in the trailer i have to say. I thought that the rest of the episode was pretty so so in compariosn. It seemed to fizzle out after the opening minutes.
- Andrea is annoying
- The kid is a moron. He still goes off on his own and doesn't listen.
- Suprisingly, Daryl is one of the better characters. He started off as a jerk, but he's one of the most resourceful and level headed in the group.
- Stupid Andrea for leaving a door open while they are stationary surrounded by potential threat. That is moronic in the highest degree.
