The show is about people dealing with zombies, not zombies eating people. If it was it would have been boring in 15 minutes, 25 for me i like zombies eating people.

I am personally glad we don't have nonstop zombies. I know the main backdrop is how this group of people exist in the zombie apocalypse. There has to be some story development. You know episode 3 is going to have a lot of zombie action in it seeing how episode 2 ended. Just relax, and enjoy the ride. Of not watch somethig else.

i don't want to see a zombie gore fest. thats what Romero is far. The Walking Dead is way more then that. the show is fine the way it is.

lol @nuck it's not like they're pulling these plots out of their ass. They're more or less following the comics, and it hasn't even started to get good yet. After 2 or 3 more seasons you may have a valid point, but right now you're just spouting shit.

I wasn't aware Andrew Lincoln, aka Rick Grimes, was from England. He's got a heavy accent in real life but hides it REALLY well in the show.
