Days Gone Bye

As far as season openers go, the first episode of AMC's The Walking Dead wastes no time in setting the time for what is to follow.

Plot In A Paragraph: Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes up in the hospital to find his town overrun by flesh-eating zombies. After making friends with Morgan and his son Duane, they fill him in on what he had missed. So Rick sets out to find his wife and son.

Andrew Lincoln does a superb job as Rick, and he pretty much carries most of the episode on his own. Lennie James as Morgan has a heartbreaking scene towards the end of the episode, but other than that it's Lincoln's show.

Scary, heartbreaking and harrowing. A great start.

Going back and watching the first episode brings tears to my eyes from how far the group has come and what a strong first episode the show had. The acting was superb and the story flowed. The most iconic episodes of all time, and creepy too. The raw emotions are felt throughout Andrew Lincoln's stellar performance. This is a rejuvenation of a dying genre.

The Walking Dead has been heavily anticipated by me and many other television fans, and we finally have it. Was it worth the wait? Definitely!

The Pilot of The Walking Dead was everything you hope for in television. It was smart, it presented some great character development, had some really great writing, and on top of that it is a zombie show. What is present here in the Pilot is how much the writers added emphasis on the humanity that is gone from these infected. Most zombie films have zombies are stupid, human-less animals, but one has to remember that these things used to be people. The Pilot definitely made me realize just how fragile they were and just how unfortunate the situation is. It was entertaining from the first second to the last, but it is not stupid gory fun. The great thing is that it was smart gory fun! The make-up looks amazing, probably the best make-up in any zombies I have ever seen.

Overall, it was a great first episode, probably the best Pilot in years. I cannot wait for the rest of the season and just wish it would be longer.

I rewatch this episode, and all this season, and it is perfect, really perfect, its the best start in any Tv series, even better start that Breaking Bad, all the episodes are excellent, but in this episode, you can see all the potencial that The walking dead have, if Darabont would have continue as showrunner this could have been another big success for AMC like Breaking bad, and seeing this 1 season again was excellent, but it also was sad, because all this great work, all the seriousness, darkness and even realistic that this season have, vanish forever in the next seasons, the second could be boring for a lot of people (for me no), but it still have that darkness, and realistic events, that the first season have, not a the same level, but still there, but in the third season, there was not more of that, it was a joke, and it gets worse and worse in every season, really so sad, because this could be an authentic masterpiece, from the beginning to the end, of course only if Darabont have been the only showrunner for The walking dead, this is for me the biggest mistake of AMC, they have breaking bad, but still being a huge mistake, not only for the fans, even for TV, but we still having this first season, if all would have end in this first season, and they wouldn't continue doing the second, the third, etc. This would be the best Tv Mini series.

TWD's Very First Episode is Still Great by Today! The Show is Expressed with it's Vey First Scene! Character of The Episode: Rick Grimes A Prefect 10
