Anyone watch it? I just watched the pilot and thought it was pretty good. Pretty slow in the middle, but it finally got going in the last few minutes of the episode. I'll definitely watch next week to see what develops.

I liked it.  I look forward to watching as the peeps in LA try to figure out what's going on and where its going.  It looks like crackpots and crackheads before the zombie apocalypse are the ones who'll best prepared to recognize and deal with it.

I watched the first 60 minutes.... I thought it was only a hour long.  It ended like a 60 minute show would at that mark and I just assumed the commercial break was the end of it.  I feel like a doofus! 

Besides that I liked it.  It's an interesting twist.  I'm curious to see where it goes.

I'm on board and enjoyed the first episode.  Based on the previews for next week it looks like it gets intense pretty quick, so I'm really curious to see how the development goes.

yeah it was not bad but definitely not the same feel as the original show. I just hope attempt does not kill the main show.

What I am curious about are they already infected or is that yet to some.

Since the drug dealer turned without being bitten, I assume they or at least some are already infected.  I'm interested to learn about all of the missing kids - vanishing in thin air has never been a theme in TWDead.

Never watched it, but since you guys are fans.....

A barista dude at the local coffee shop tells me I'm a dead ringer for one of the characters in this show, but he can't remember her name. Who do I look like, and am I a zombie? Or was I just doing that brick workout a bit too hard?? ETA I'm the one in the avatar pic who's not Macca.

You kind of resemble Carol in my opinion.

Hmm...not far from my real-world name. (He knows it as they yell it when your order is ready.) No wonder it brought that to mind. So is she a zombie??

No she is a survivor. She is a take no crap bad arse! Maybe a little bit on the disturbed side though!

I'm not usually nit-picky about details, but this one got me... There were no spontaneous reanimations until Sean (Shawn? Shaun? Seaun?) killed that guy from the other group, and then of course he turned after taking a knife to the gut. Time-wise, that was a good bit past the initial outbreak which is what FTWD is dealing with...

Along the same line, yet off topic... I was watching Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning yesterday. When they activated "The Plumber", he went out to his truck to take off, you can see exhaust coming from the tailpipe, yet he gets in and starts it up before taking off... hehehe

Good to know I'm not a zombie and am a bad a$$ and possibly hot. As for disturbed, not going to dispute that--someone who spends much of her leisure time doing endurance sports in a tropical climate is probably a bit on the disturbed side. (Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that.) Would be worse off if I had to contend with zombies, though. (Most days, my students aren't THAT difficult!)

Did anyone else catch Episode 3 last night? Not sure what I think of this series. What's with the National Guard crawling all over the subdivision?

I watched it, I'm enjoying it but it's so early I haven't figured out where they're going yet or even who all the "main" characters are yet.

The drug addict kid kind of annoys me, so I can see him turning into an even more annoying "Carl" type character.
They're definitely building up a love triangle with the ex-wife and new-wife (or is it just his girlfriend), so I'm sure there's a few twists and turns to come with that.
I kind of enjoy the battle between morally killing a walker versus leaving them alone (in case there's a cure).
The Hispanic dude has obviously gone through a world of stuff in his previous life, so I think he's going to be a real bad arse.
The most confusing thing for me was trying to figure out the whole neighbor's house.  They look out the window and see the house, but have to go through a mile long maze to get to the house?  Then after driving a block away from their house they see her husband pulling into the driveway?  That's some freaky stuff right there.  lol
The National Guard was a little weird too.  I'm not sure if they're still friendly helpers at this point or if they're going to turn into a marshal law oppressive force that our characters try to escape from through the season.

Yes, the drug addict kid is irritating -- I have a feeling his quest to find drugs is going to expose the group to a lot of unnecessary risks.

The ex-wife is just really nasty and hateful -- did Travis leave her for the new wife/girlfriend?

Yes very strange about the maze --- and the whole sneaking in through the back door. I guess I should watch that part again. How did the neighbor get into their house (when he was killing their dog?). Did they leave a door open somewhere?

I do think that Alicia, as snotty and irritating as she has been so far, is beginning to get it.

The power going on and off was effective and creepy.

There was the scene where there was a noise at the door and they pulled the curtain back to reveal the big dog outside the door.  They opened the sliding door and let him in.  With typical TV logic they left the sliding door open as they were distracted by the blood on the dog.
I think that's when they decided to begin their quest to the neighbors house to get the shotgun and from the neighbors window they were able to clearly see the dude kill the dog (which so nicely sat quietly by the open sliding door the whole time they were gone)
They were going to camp out at the house, but they saw the pickup truck return (which tells me they were across the street) but then had to run through the maze again to get to their house in time to blow the dog eaters head off.

just re-thinking that whole scene makes me laugh even more about it.  Even from a walking dead standpoint it was pretty absurd.

LOL, I'm definitely going to have to watch that part again!
