Yeah, it looks good, but it just pisses me off even more that I watched that stupid Talking Dead. Their special 'sneak preview' was the first 20 seconds of this preview. LAME!

I am through the first 36 issues of the comic now. I am really loving it and curious how much of the Governor in the comic we will see on the show.

Is there somewhere to read the comic online?

Not that I can find. I have been buying the trade paperbacks from the beginning and the first prints backwards until I meet in the middle. Then I plan on buying all first prints, but the first 4 go for about 200-500 each. Well worth it. I just got through issue 53 last night.

Finally, someone decided that silencers would be a good investment!

Really. Maybe his gun is a from Old Man's Magical Firearm Company. Unlimited ammo and incredible accuracy.

The writers have taken care of two of my biggest gripes. Carl can now take care of himself and Lori realizes she was an idiot.

I like they are keeping certain parallels with the comic.

Like cutting off Hershel's leg to save him being one and the prisoners being in the cafitera. I wonder if we will see the same interaction between the Governor and Michonne?

No recoil for the kid either...magic!

Seriously though, that was my only gripe from the episode. It was a great start to the season.

Wow. Great 1st episode of the season.

Question though - maybe I will find an answer next week - but they found all the gear and weapons, but there are other survivors in the compound. how come the others didn't get all the equipment?

If they follow the comics, those handcuffs on the door will be the key to that quesiton. And they will explain it pretty quick as well.

Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I am confused about something. If they are all infected with the virus, why does it matter if someone gets bitten? Why would a zombie bite kill you (and then turn you into a zombie) if you are already infected anyway?

I'm just making this up so....

Maybe a bite is the catalyst of the transformation when still alive. Dieing on your own (starvation, etc) would allow the final process for the infection to run its course...
