I've been playing a bunch of Project Zomboid recently and I never watched the Walking Dead so I figure its time to give it a watch. I plan to watch at least 1 episode a day, some days will get 2 or 3 episodes like today.

Please no spoilers past what I have watched in this thread, and no comic book spoilers at all.

Season 1 Episode 1: Days Gone Bye

First thing I am trying to figure out is what sort of zombies do we have on our hands here? First clue, little girl picks up her stuffed toy. So appears they have some basic intelligence / memories of their past life. They are not sprinters but they aren't exactly slow shamblers. In Atlanta quite a few of the zombies were nearly running when main character came around the corner with the horse. Also the zombie on the burnt out bus that then gives main character some evil eye just before the end, almost look of intelligence. And the black guy's zombie wife tried using the door.

So looking at some quick shamblers, basic IQ with maybe the occasional special zombie, seems like their senses are pretty sharp, looks like they deteriorate fast but at the same time they seem relatively resilient, eg. 4 or 5 whacks with a bat to put one down.

I didn't catch most of the names. The black kid was Dwyane, white kid is Carl, main character's cop partner is Shane. I missed it if they mentioned black guy or main characters name.

RIP horsey. I figured the horse would last a bit longer than that.

Loved the ending. Just when MC has, presumably thoughts of suicide as he is trapped in the tank "Hey you. Dumbass. Yeah, you in the tank. Cozy in there?" perfect timing. And then the zoom out birds-eye shot was awesome as you watched the zombies converging.

Overall, 10/10 episode. Good pacing, great use of silence, some beautiful shots, definitely has me interested in what is next. Definitely captured the atmosphere of the end of the world.
