Good lord, some people are just unable to understand building tension. Apparently a lot of people expected zombie hordes in the first few minutes of the show. Society doesn't fall apart in 5 minutes, give them a few days for god's sake. We've already seen the beginnings of people going missing, lots of hints of problems in the background, possible walker sightings without being certain, etc. In the first three minutes we saw a fresh walker, and the guy ran away from it. REMEMBER, in this world there is NO SUCH THING as Romero films. There are no zombie stories, the idea of a dead person getting up and attacking people is completely and totally laughable. There's no concept of such a thing, anyone saying such a thing would be treated like a lunatic and rightfully so! So a druggie mentioning his girlfriend attacking and eating a person, sure, that's going to be treated with the highest of skepticism. Also, we don't know what the government is up to behind the scenes. It's EXTREMELY likely they are aware of what is going on and just as Tobias suggested, keeping it secret at the moment. In any case, as time goes on it looks like things are going to escalate pretty quickly. We'll get mass attacks and such coming soon, just don't expect FWD to have the same zombie activities that WD has when it's a story that starts in media res.
Also, please repeat after me:
WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OR CAUSE OF THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. NEVER, EVER, EVER.
I do hope we get to see a cameo by Dr Jenner and his wife at some point stating that the CDC is looking into the reports of what's going on. That'd be a nice tie in to the two series.
I will say the scene with the principal listening in on teachers and the tense music was just stupid like we should expect him to be a zombie.
