I think some folks are taking the smellnig thing too far and grabbed on to that like it was a super power. Go outside and ask a family member or friend to lay under a car in a parking lot. Walk around and see if you can find them only based on smell. Now have someone stand right next to you wearing something that smells different than everything else around you.
You get the point. Zombies arent dead super heroes. Well, Marvel Zombies doesnt count. :lol
It didnt take me out of the show and it was the best plan they could do for survival in that situation besides wasting the gas in the cars by using them as bombs.

I think it is airborne and everyone is already infected. If you die, regardless of being bitten...you become a walker. Maybe Jenner told Rick that they are all infected instead of what we think about him saying that his wife is pregnant? He seemed pretty upset talking about it on the walkie.

I think the walkers have a very simplistic ID system:
Moving, smells dead: friend
Moving, doesn't smell dead: food
Once they heard or saw the folks, then the walkers realized they were alive, and therefore food. But until then they really wouldn't know they were there.
One minor bit that didn't work so well for me: I've never been in a Baptist church that had a crucifix. Crosses, sure. But not crucifixes. But I liked Rick's scene with it, so I'll let it go.

Yup, just like I said, the zombies have no more sense of smell than humans, they aren't freaking bloodhounds. Some people just can't seem to understand that.

If they start sticking more to the comic, then there will be one more issue regarding the nature of the zombie plague that will come up, but they will NEVER explain or find a cure for it. Kirkman has no interest in doing that. It just becomes an accepted fact of their world and they learn to live with it.

Could someone please elaborate on WHAT THE HECK happened at the end of the episode?

One shouldn't get to carried away looking for errors in logic and science in a show about the undead. You'll just go nuts. I mean, if Zombies eat, does that mean they go to the bathroom? to they need to drink water? can animals be zombified? What if you get bit by a zombie mosquito? so on and so forth. So no long as they don't leave open any MAJOR plot holes (or something really stupid like they adopt some kindhearted zombie...) I'm content to just enjoy the show for what it is.
The one thing that did bother me was the shot of them driving out of the city on the highway. I'm not sure if it was CG or a composite shot, but something about it didn't look right.

Exploding deer.
The deer was shot by someone, and the bullet passed through it and hit the person you saw shot.

He can be plenty upset if he heard she was pregnant. Reason 1, she is pregnant with a baby in a zombie apocalypse. Reason 2, he didn't have any interaction with his wife in how long since the outbreak? If it has been weeks to months(I don't recall how long it was since first infection), it goes to say, he may realize that he isn't the father. Maybe he could have a good idea who the father could be. Those ideas going through his head, can very well make him upset.
Wouldn't Jenner not have let them stay if he knew they were infected. He did say something along the lines of: "The price to enter, is a blood test." Which was obvious to check if they were infected, he would of been able to tell right off the bat, and not have let said infected stay.
They are probably staying with the comic idea that she is pregnant and are just going about a different way of the reveal.

If he knew she was pregnant... wouldn't his demeanor toward her change a little?
Who knows if the powers that be behind the show had any idea where they were going with what was said. All the first season writers have been fired and so has Frank Darabont. The scene may have been purposely done to give future writers something to play with. It was probably written by a writer that is no longer on staff (since as I understand it, they have no staff of writers). The whole thing is probably being played by ear now. I doubt if there is a plan. So our guesses are probably as good as AMC’s and the cast’s.

Saw the first ep last night, FX is showing in the UK and I'm pleased to say there were hardly any adverts.
However I did think the program itself was a bit,err boring. I don't expect walking dead to be like Resi Evil but I really expected a bit more for the opening episode, expecially as it was a longer than normal.
I know they've cut the budget ($2.3m a show, plus I heard AMC Pocketed the Georgia state incentive), but either they're paying their actors a big slice or else filling a road with wrecked cars suddenly became very expensive!
cheers

Well, keep in mind that the show really isn't about the zombies. It's about the people that are left, and how they deal with the situation (and each other.) The zombie apocalypse is sort of the backdrop for the story, not the story itself.
