As for those who think there isn't enough action, hah! In the comics there's whole arcs where there are no zombies whatsoever because the story is about how the survivors cope. If you want to simply watch zombies getting fucked up play "Left 4 Dead".
yeah I know, I just thought it wasn't quite explaind enough. They acted too much like gangbangers to just be regular guys banding together to protect their grandparents. A guy who was just a janitor seems pretty competent at being the head honcho for the gang. And the wanna-be kid has the pot leaf tattoo? Come on... the writing is just lazy and stereotypical. What wouldn't be stereotypical is if one of the women grabbed some balls and went back to look for Merle with the men. Or if that Jim guys turns out to be somewhat psychic with that dream he had and starts to lead the group in a religious sense. That'd be interesting. (haven't read the books so can't say if this is going to happen or not).
