Has anyone been watching this show? The Walking Dead is based off the comic series of the same name. The guy who made the TV series is the same who directed Shawshank Redemption. For a TV show about zombies I am very much impressed so far. Its series premier was Halloween night, and the 4th episode aired just last night. I'm also impressed with the gore and what they can get away with. Hell, the opening shot of the first episode was the main character putting a bullet through a zombie-child's head (what was she, 5-7 years old?). Six episodes for the first season (2 remain) with 13 episodes for Season 2 next year. For anyone interested, The Walking Dead airs on AMC Sunday nights at 10 pm EST (for people in the States at least).
Who has been watching, and your thoughts?

Ive recently started watching this . Its very intresting and you can see how regular people react to a catastrophy of that magnitude not just the heroes of a two hour movie. I really like it and hope its around for a while.

SPOILERS AHEAD
Did anyone catch Sunday's episode? The last 10-15 minutes were intense! It was sad and surprising to see Amy die so soon in the season, although when she got up to use the bathroom I knew she was done (although I now found out that also happens in the comics). Ed died as well, he had it coming. The attack on the camp was well done, and I thought it got better when Rick and his group showed up. For the previews for next week, it showed Jim saying something like "Don't tell anyone" so I'm thinking he may have gotten bit during the attack.
The people that died so far:
Amy
Ed
Random guy (bitten around shoulder area)
Random girl (ambushed by 2 zombies)
Random black guy (zombie shown eating him)

I watch it all the time. One of the best, pull-no-punches, handlings of a done-to-death genre. The adaptation between the comics and the screen is pretty remarkable! Kicks a zillion kinds of ass and handles the human element extremely well with all the various reactions to the crisis, the way each survivor does things and the dynamics between the characters. Can't get much better in television. I'd love to see the comic series DMZ done the same way.

Any ideas on what Jenner whispered to Rick from Season 1?
My thoughts - SPOILERS
In the comics, it is established that if you die, you come back as a zombie. It doesn't matter how you die. As long as your brain is intact when you die, you turn. Basically - everyone's infected.
Therefore, its possible thats what Jenner whispered to Rick in Season 1. During the bar shootout at the end of Episode 8, Season 2, Rick kills both Dave and Tony. He got one shot off Dave, which was a headshot, but it was how he killed Tony. After killing Dave, Rick spun around and shot Tony once in the upper body, close to his arm. Shot him again in the stomach area. By this time, Tony was already falling. Rick takes a few steps toward Tony and then comes the headshot. Some say it was to make sure he was dead, I think it was to prevent him from turning.
The bar scene was well done though.

Hmmmm maybe it was force of habit? You know. Double tapping is the best way to make sure the walker is dead. Good point tho.

Lucasclones got me hooked on this one. Watching it in HD sure does make it better too imo. It is the one show that is set to record on my DVR.
