I haven't read the comics, but if they're good enough to spawn a good long-lasting TV show for the cost of minor gaffes, I'm good with that.

Absolutely fantastic! The mood, the dramatic use of silence, the overwhelming humanity of this show...all make this my new must-watch show.

Once again, Lennie James has blown me away with his acting prowess. I'm sad he's not a series regular. :.-(

Did anyone else think the zombie that stepped off the bus looked like Grima Wormtongue (Brad Dourif)?

As to the "they stole the waking in the hospital from 28 days later." : As mentioned above the show is based on the comic and that begining was right from the comic. The comic was written and released before 28 days later was in theaters...

As a big fan of the comics: I loved the show. They took all the good stuff from the comics and then sprinkled them with extra slimy zombie goodness.

The comics are about the survivors and how they deal with and change to survive. The zombies are just the window dressing for this, not the center of attention.

How gory was it? Yes, I've seen the zombies in pictures and stuff, but how about when they attack?

(it only premieres here tomorrow)

My wife said the same thing about the dehydration. And we talked about someone having taken care of him. It wouldn't be the last time he 'missed' other survivors.

The thing that's bugging me is the room with the dead in it. He didn't understand about the dead yet, so I would have thought he would have tried to see if he could 'help' the people trapped in the room.

I'm not normally a zombie guy, but I tuned into this and have to say it was amazing. It was the most intense show I have ever seen on TV. My wife, who I didn't think would show any interest, kept putting her laptop down and watching it. I was informed afterward that I have to watch it when she is not around as it was too intense for her liking.

The gore was pretty intense when they showed it.

Yeah, I was really disappointed to see that on IMDB.

On the other hand, if they regularly have little vignettes like that -- stories of people who have survived that we don't have to see again but can really enjoy -- then I'll be an even bigger fan.

Yeah, very similar. And they focused on him at least 3 different times.
