[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I liked it.  And, I don't have a hard time fathoming that people find out different things at different points and in different areas of the country or under different circumstances.

[b]I thought it was def slow at first but, man, they can't go from 0-60 right in the first episode.

I did think that Travis going to the drug house by himself unarmed was HIGHLY unlikely.  But, that's a minor point.[/quote]

See, I felt the opposite about it. I felt like they jumped right into the action too quickly (perhaps because they thought people would get too impatient with build-up since they know what's coming), and lost what could have been an interesting storyline as the epidemic initially unfolded (not to mention better opportunity for real character development). They could have had the son see Gloria (so we know it's here), but have everyone else around him dismissing it as a hallucination. When the man in the bed next to him coded and they ran him to the other floor, that would have seemed weird and increased tension. They could have had the incident on the freeway exit occur, but not have a viral video of the guy reanimating, make it a strange account in the media of what happened. Get into questions of whether the government is trying to hide what's happening while they get it under control, etc. People creating "conspiracy theories" that we know are actually true. Because we know what's happening, it would have increased the tension for us seeing these odd things and knowing, but people not really knowing or slowly coming to suspect. Instead, in the first episode we got at least four zombie sightings, lots of people disappearing and the government basically saying, "We have no fucking clue what's happening, evacuate the school, run for your lives!!" I don't know how we don't get from the first episode to them all roaming Walking-Dead style within the first season.[/quote]
