Ha I know. Show sucks because the Zombies are actors!!!!

Just watched the first episode tonight. Quite enjoyed it, and it was fun hearing Andrew-whatsisname speak in an American (Georgia?) accent. Will watch the second show to see if it can build on the decent start.

People need their hands held and have every question answered for them immediately or they might go back to watching Two and a Half Men.

I'm with TRINI here. I think there are a few major plot holes. I still am anticipating the next episode though!

Guys can you put Spoiler in the title if you're discussing downloaded aka ahead of schedule episodes?

Or you could move to the U.S. where it's already aired.

The fact that he hasn't yet asked ANYONE WTF happened is a glaring plothole. Whether they tell him **** just went crazy or that the government just sent the army out to start shooting everything or what, I really don't care. "I am Legend" handled this really well. This show isn't doing that AT ALL.

It'd also help explain why his wife just decided to up and leave his ass for dead in the hospital. Maybe the government told them to evacuate. Maybe she thought everyone in the hospital was dead. Who the **** knows. But to think he doesn't even care?

i gotta go with trini on this one,if i was in this spot this would be the order:
first question:wheres my ******* gun
second question:wtf happened
third question:wheres my family

It's so old, so tired, ffs zombie show/movie makers, try something new.

so you have not seen zombie land then

There aren't any news broadcasts, they went down before he woke up.

He can ask the question, but there's nobody who can tell him an answer. It would be kind of pointless. If they're following the theme of the book, they don't ask because they're focused on surviving. The people who ask those kinds of questions lose focus and die.

The bodies he found outside that had been "put down" and covered with sheets seem to indicate the army had been there at some point.

And yeah, my first question to the guy/kid that first night probably would have been "wtf?".
His wing of the hospital had been barricaded off, presumably the zombies got pushed out and they sealed the wing to save whoever was still alive.

I'm not really liking the faster walking zombies and how they can use tools. I'm worried it's going to be less of a "humans doing crazy **** when surrounded by horror" theme and more of a "Damn the zombies are going to eat us" show, which I'm not real interested in.

thats fine,but come on you wouldnt ask?
EVEN if you dont get an answer or nobody knows,you wouldnt ask?
if he has time to take a shower and have a chat about his wife with the black guy he has time to ask.

The topic kind of came up with the black guy, said that the CDC was looking into it. If there had been more to tell, presumably he'd have spilled it, but he didn't.

I don't think it's really that big a plot hole, considering.

I know. My point is that there would have been news broadcasts that the survivors would have seen and been able to fill him in on.

Show still sucks, I hope they don't keep this **** sandwhich over Rubicon.
