It's a POS. I watched the first episode, and when the dead bodies turned into zombies, I turned it off. Even the exposed internal organs were a joke. Come on, come up with something original...enough of the zombie apocalypse crap.

they're not zombies...(per se)...they're vampires.

zombie, vampires....doesn't matter. The topic has been over done. The show is stupid.

Meh...perhaps it's been over done a bit, but I wouldn't call it a "stupid" show. Maybe you ought to check out some of the other episodes before drawing a definitive conclusion. It's certainly better than many of the other new series' on these days...imho.

I'm liking this show a lot. It's refreshing where no one is a true hero lead. The lead CDC guy is a prick when it comes to his family.

Still some stupid parts, but overall, I love it.

Loved how the wife lured the prick neighbor into the shed.

That was the "fargo" moment I was referring to... insofar as she being the christian mom/wife but then doing something so diabolical, and with the trail of blood in the snow and out by the shed, sort of gave it that look.

I liked the part where the old man chopped the little girl's head off. That was a great :wtf2::omg::lol: moment.

BTW, the Doobster isn't about chopping off the heads of little girls, but the way he did it with no hesitation made me :lol:

You would think there would be some hesitation before chopping the head off a little girl, no matter how evil you are. He handled it like a pro.

And that was the "michonne/walking dead" moment I had mentioned. That guy has apparently been thru that scenario some yrs ago , so he did exactly what he had to do. Swift & Precise.

Yup, thought nothing of it, just did what had to be done.

I wonder if they'll track down that lawyer lady who was one of the survivors, but was showing signs of the infection a few weeks ago. She too has a family....so they're probably dead or infected by now.

( trouble is, how would anyone be able to distinguish her from any other lawyer?)
:lol:

just watched the pilot yesterday....a little cheesy in parts but ill give it a chance. worst suspension of disbelief had to be the need for hazmat suits to enter plane but store the cargo just anywhere no problem?? no gloves needed for touching the coffin or a simple coroner mask sheild is all you need for autopsies too.
