5. I wish show would rely less on computer graphics though.
I wish they would go back to old-school FX.

7. Probably can't afford it.
CGI is a lot cheaper than real special effects.

8. Which is sad.
Computer graphics still don't compare in close-up scenes.

It's fine for big shots but you need the splatter-fx for the grunt work.

But the zombie designs are excellent.

3. Yeah, it looks pretty damn good
I'll definately be watching next week.

Although remember, folks... Glocks don't have separate safeties.

11. I ended up watching Dead Set on IFC.
It's a mini-series about a zombie takeover during the taping of the Brit version of Big Brother. The cast are trapped on the set of the show, and it goes from there. But it's English, so yeah, muted colors and fast zombies. But I love it when the Brits start yelling and cussing each other out in those cool accents.

13. Never thought that I'd feel sorry for a zombie.
Some very powerful emotional stuff going on there in what's looking to be a fantastically well written and produced series. (I'm talking about the zombie that was dragging itself across that field. I almost teared up a little)...

14. That scene intercut with the target-pratice scene was a moving sequence
If they can keep that heart, make you feel for the characters, this show should survive a lot longer than the usual "gimmick" shows.

16. I think that will be their strength.
Based on the source material.

They develop great and interesting characters.

But beware, no character is safe.
