THE WALKING DEAD - Season 2.1

The show kicks ass.

It's got such humanistic moments in between the gore.  The emotions and conflicts run deep here as well any well-written series should.  I love the scene where Laurie Holden explains that her choice isn't so much suicide but rather simply ending this living nightmare she has to endure.

I also feel for Jon Bernthal's character as well.  He thought Rick was dead.  He's fallen in love with Rick's wife.  Now that Rick's back, you can tell it's tearing up his soul to see the two of them together.  He's lost everything.  Now that's great conflict.   

I've got one complaint with this episode though.  In the beginning, you've got the old man standing ontop the camper as a lookout on the highway.  How in hell did he not see the herd of zombies approaching?  He should've spotted them a mile away.

The show is mesmerizing.  I've got to continue watching to see who shot the kid.
