S1:E1-3

Some of you have already commented on my feedback of the first few episodes. I'll recap here just to get it all in one place.

The first episode was enough to hook me. I was reminded of the "28 _____ Later" franchise when Rick woke up alone in the hospital. I think he adapted well, getting out of the hospital after seeing his first Walker, and then getting to his home to realize his family was gone.

Okay, we're into Atlanta and in a tank. Awesome. Rick and Glen working together, and then meeting the other team of survivors was fun to watch. I wasn't a fan of Merle from the start... racists aren't my kind of people.

Forgive me, because I forgot the order in which this happened, but seeing Shane and wouldn't you know it Rick's wife was funny to me. After I figured it out, it seemed corny to me, but I still think it's good for the story. Which leads me to Shane. I don't blame him for sleeping with what's-her-name. He thought his partner was dead, and from the first conversation I saw between Rick and Shane in the squad car, it wasn't like she was being that great of a wife anyways... like there was some adultery going on. Was it with Shane? I'll find out. Maybe it was nothing.

So we leave Merle. Good. We all make it back to camp. A walker is up the hill, that's scary. Ed (I think) punches his wife, and Shane whips that ass. Good. It's redeeming for Shane at this point. We meet the other Dixon brother... judgment to be determined. Overnight while Rick is reuniting with his wife, Shane is staring at the tent. I wonder what he's thinking.

Going back to Atlanta is more than I would have done for Merle. However, I'm a pushover, and would end up volunteering if prodded. Uh-oh! No trace of Merle... except for that hand.



So that's where I left off. I'm going to watch episode 4 now. The next feedback I post will be structured better, not so... bouncy.
