Getting bit just speeds up the process. Everyone is "infected", so once someone dies they turn
What did everyone think?
I thought it was pretty good, a nice slow build up. The junkie son was starting to get on my nerves but by the end of the episode I was fine with him. Also a nice cameo by Andre' (Black guy from Victorious, if you have a young one, Im sure you know who he is), as one of Travis' students
I think we can assume the turn happened pretty quickly. Rick went into the hospital, and all was well. He wakes up, and society has already totally collapsed.I am trying to remember, in the begining didn't it take awhile for the turn to happen? Also initially didn't people have to get bit?

The junkie kid got on my nerves after about 3 minutes and these people strike me as city slickers who wouldn't survive a week without power let alone a zombie outbreak. I'd rather have seen it set in a rural area like Jericho but near a big city so you get some big city collapse scenes but you also get to see them struggle with limited supplies and refugees as well as zombies.
This is starting to bother me more and more. Why does a bite, even a non-lethal one to the arm, accelerate the process of turning?

We only saw people that got bit turn, but we never saw a person die for any other reason than a bite until Shane dies.

5.) The junkie brother and his sister in the hospital stunk of boyfriend/girlfriend dialogue and body language
As viewers we know its not from drugs/heroin (as you can turn when you die having never been a junkie/drug-head..etc)... so why waste the time on the dealer? Neat twist he tried to kill junkie kid Nick to keep his dealing secret... but really.. in the big picture, why? Who cares?
I mean in the leaked video coverage of the initial 'zombie' on the highway..
On an average day in Los Angeles County in 2005, 165 people died: 42 from coronary heart disease, 38 from cancer, 11 from injuries (accident, homicide, suicide), and 10 from stroke. Six deaths were children or young adults less than 25 years of age. Source: Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
- According to the United Nations, 2,473,018 people died in the United States in the most recent year data is available, 2008. That means 6,775 per day.
When I watch fictional shows/movies, this is me: opcorn
Not: confused:facepalm
One of the most boring premiers I've seen in a while. Flat acting. Very slow pace. I don't believe any of these characters would survive more than a week.
I kept hoping for some action. If telling the story of the initial outbreak is the key to this series, then please don't F@#$ it up! You only get to tell this story once.
The opening to Snyder's Dawn of the Dead was 10 times more exciting:

That gives me much more a sense of FEAR. I really hope they pick up the pace!
I was so irritated with this show (and after posting here) I actually went back and watched the first 3 episodes of TWD just to recalibrate.
THAT's a premiere. I forgot Rick shot Bunny slipper girl in the head during first minute of the show! Yeah, that'll get your attention. THEN, go ahead and educate me on the character's back-story. :thumbsup
FTWD introduces me to a junkie in a hipster shirt!? I've got zero sympathy for junkies and find nothing about them likable. Flat, flat, flat....ugh! What a **** fest. No, I don't want to give junkie guy and his snotty sister a break...I'm praying for swift and brutal recasting and a rapid cut to the two of them being devoured by their freshly infected parents.
Kirkman has lost his damned mind!
