Ha...low blow. I guess I better turn in my fan boy card then. Ironically, the fact that it appears to be so fresh in your mind, as well as inspire such aggravation by the like is validation enough for me.

Bad taste is hard to forget at times.

Then again some bad taste is necessary for it's lasting effects. Better than NO taste at all.

| ****SPOILER ALERT**** Was anyone else disturbed by the death of the horse? or was it more unsettling when the sheriff shot the zombie child in the very first scene? |

Damn I hope Reedus and Rooker die next episode. Horrible characters in an otherwise fantastic series.

At the very least, it answered my long-wondered question concerning zombies and animals. I've seen it, but not so voraciously. But yeah, it was disturbing, in particularly because of the "no worries" speech Grimes gave it.
Thinking it might have been a convenient way for the producers to omit animals in any of the scenes, or perhaps to include one in an interesting way in the future. Not read the books, so don't know. |

Yeah, I felt sorry for the horse. Then again, I'm in tears when they show those animal protection agency commercials on TV. However I mock the ones with the kids from the third world countries. What that says about me, I don't want to think about . . .
My husband and I are adoring this show, the characterization, I really, really like the main character. |

I expected it. The same thing happens in the comics. Rick is overrun by zombies who take him and the horse down and feast on the horse while Rick is able to run away.

I think the series is great. It has far surpassed my expectations of what a Zombie based TV series could be. Maybe I am easily impressed?!?  |

| I love how it strays from the graphic novel into new territory and the new characters (especially Reedus) kick major ass. I'm on the edge of my seat! |

I'm actually glad to see that Shane hasn't bitten the dust yet. He seems to be more remorseful than his comic counterpart.
As for the FX, Nicotero has created some of the most eye-popping zombie make-ups I've ever seen! There's been one or two distinctively gruesome hero zombies present in every episode thus far. And I felt every single one of those bites on Sunday's episode.
I can't wait to find out what Merle is up to..... |

I'm also Glad Shane is still alive and kicking. He's slimy and obnoxious but you love to hate him.
Last night's episode was amazing.
Granted the zombie siege was intense, but the sub-plot with the Mexicans caring for the old people was heartbreaking. It's very very true to how hispanics revere the elderly.
Wonderful goddamn show.

Creepy threw out a MAJOR theory, which I'm willing to get behind:
Merle will be The Governor. |

Doubtful. But good theory.

| Whether or not Merle becomes the actual Governor or just ends up working for him, it's gonna come down to a hand-for-a-hand situation, for sure. |
