quick thoughts: Walking Dead

I haven't read the comic book in a LONG time but now I feel the need add Volume 1 to my Christmas list so I can relive the magic terror again. It was a strong premiere, though I'm wondering if people not familiar with the comic will be compelled to keep watching. I know all the shit that will be going down as the season progresses, and it's gonna get messed up. But this episode was only mostly messed up.

But, I mean, we started the episode with him shooting a zombie kid in the head so hopefully the uninitiated will get from those 5 minutes that this show is not going to hold back.

Very impressive AMC! Makes me want to call Comcast and demand AMC in HD for next week.
