Season 1 episode 2 - Guts

Solid episode. For zombies, we saw more near running, saw 2 using rocks to break down windows better, saw one successfully climb a fence. However they seem to be smell dominant giving that the guts trick worked. I can't remember seeing that in any other zombie series before, but I'm kind of behind the times on zombies.

Possible long term plot, so either Rick is crazy or there is a helicopter out there. So either some sort of government remnant or sophisticated survivor group is out there already. The helicopter was in episode 1 but I didn't mention it, didn't think it was that big of a deal, but the rest of the survivors do.

Glen is an early favorite. Willing to risk his life in the chance someone will return the favor down the road, taking on all the hard tasks. He's either going to be the butt-monkey or right hand man. Or both?

Merle Dixon is a piece of shit so leave him up there. Rick's wife is gonna have some thinking to do when she is reunited with Rick. Wonder how much she and Shane will actually be happy to see Rick.

T-dog is a seriously awful name. I mean he's a dude in his mid 30s and he's going by T-dog?

Andrea is a bit strange, I can't get a read on her. She seriously was thinking of not "looting" that necklace for her sister? Also Amy, her sister, is the only woman with any ass so far.

Those are I think the only new names I know so far.

No RIPs this episode, Merle's future doesn't look bright but no on-screen death.

Overall solid episode. 8/10 for me. This seems like a series that it can't really have consistently great single episodes because it needs to have build and payoffs and deaths and all that. 9s and 10s will be reserved for episodes that have a big pay off and really deserve it.
