The Walking Dead – Episode 2

We watched the second episode of The Walking Dead on Sunday night. I’ve seen tons of zombie movies, from the very solid (Dawn of the Dead remake) to the laughable (Gangs of the Dead). The Walking Dead is some of the best I’ve seen so far, but it’s not without its flaws. I’ve never read the source material, but the Lori / Shane subplot is not compelling to me. When I watch my zombies, I don’t care about love triangles or affairs.

But when they go back to Rick, that is just gripping. I love the scene where Rick and Glenn walked through the streets covered in gore. I’ve never seen that done before in any zombie fiction.

I’ll be tuning in each week, but I hope they tone down the Shane / Lori nonsense.
