That was awesome and it had excellent ratings to boot, 5.34 million viewers.
The beginning did seem a bit like
28 Days Later but I was OK with it. I really like most of the characters and look forward to the eventual Lori/Rick/Shane reunion.
I have to admit that I had to watch that final scene in Atlanta near the tank on FF and will go to the end saying the horsey ran away.
I do wonder if they'll be able to sustain a Zombie series in the long run, just not sure if it'll work but as of right now I am hooked for the duration.
