Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. *cough snort* oops oh hi guys. Man what a snoozer of an episode… looks like the bullet hole in the kid is going to be one of the new major story lines.
I sure hope this was just a transition episode, otherwise it’s turning into Days Of Our Lives (and not even Days Of Our Lives with zombies).
It doesn’t appear to be on the AMC site this week for free. If you want to catch it on Amazon for a couple bucks:
Season 2 Episode 1 – What Lies Ahead
Watched the first episode of season 2 yesterday. It was kind of slow, but overall it got me pumped for the rest of the season.
1) If basically everyone is dead, I don’t think NFA rules apply. The crossbow and hand-to-hand zombie killing is dangerous, and is getting old. Find a gun store that sells suppressors, or better yet a suppressor manufacturer and loot the shit out of it. Advanced Armament Corp (AAC) comes to mind, they are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Seeing as The Walking Dead is currently taking place around Atlanta a simple 32 mile jaunt down I-85N could net them all the slidencing power (and sweet NFA weapons) they could ever ask for. Problem solved.
2) The product placement at 29 and 39 minutes for the Gerber zombie apocalypse knives was so forced it was hilarious. I’m sure that’s not the last we will see of this knife set on the show, considering it’s now part of weapons they have on hand. Show the Gerber logo some more, flash those smiles, say something great about them, and collect your money AMC.
3) Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I think the zombie makeup looked a lot better this season. The special effects also seemed a bit better too.

Or better yet, According to commenter foxtrot, if you don’t mind commercials you can catch it for free on AMC’s website – HERE
Any of you guys watch it? What were your thoughts?
Ah so that is the guy that supplies the actors with Glocks that have slide release to safety conversions. LOL
Season 2 premieres Sunday October 16th. Should be pretty good!
There are some webisodes up. I watched a couple of them and they were well done, but kind of useless.

Despite the poor CGI and often laughable gun handling, The Walking Dead is one of my favorite current TV shows.
If you need to catch up and can’t find it for free, you can rent it on Amazon:

Oh poorly done CGI blood and muzzle flash… how I hate you.
Hopefully the undead body count in season 2 will be many times that.
Overall I was fairly happy with season 1… I’d recommend it to anyone that wants to kill some time on a show.

Decent episode. Hilarious CGI.
