    I have the pilot in my queue on Hulu to watch, so I'll be checking that out here soon enough.

    The show has already been green-lit for a second season.

    Also, how'd you get a screencap of my TiVo?

    How was the episode last night? I'm usually asleep by 10 on Sundays so I won't get to watch it until Monday.

    They're clearly just introducing and developing most of the characters. Its wasn't a good as the first episode, but I like where they're going with the plot.

    Since no one else has watched it yet, I'm not gonna spoil it.

    10 out of 10 for me, when compared to the rest of zombie movies / episode projects.

    It's a must watch every Sunday night.

    9/10.

    I gotta rate it in relation to the first episode (10/10). And CK is right, it really is must-see television. That'll be my sunday post-football TV-fix since Mad Men won't be back til next year.

    Oh and the only thing that sucks is I wish it was at least 1.5h long for each episode, I felt it was a bit short with all the commercials.

    Those commericals were killer, it felt like Mad Men was 20 minutes longer each episode.

    Yeah I wish it were longer too but you've got to figure the budget for a show like this isn't similar to say Breaking Bad that has small, normal looking sets and outdoor locations with people in street clothes vs. closed streets with extras in full makeup and costume, etc.

    If anyone is wondering the story has deviated from the plot of the comics but not entirely, they are just arriving at the same destinations by taking different routes. Looks like there are some different characters as well.

    I thought the second episode was a nice homage to Dawn of the Dead with it taking place (mostly) in a department store with pale-faced zombies pressed up against the glass doors, as well as using the cube vans from a nearby lot. Not to mention the helicopter reference.

    They still haven't gone a long way towards explaining what the people are eating and drinking but I suppose there will be time for that at the base camp.

    If this show gets screwed over like Firefly, i will lose all hope in humanity.
