Ya, I haven't read the comic, but I'm glad someone else can at least see what I mean. Its not unbearable yet (haven't watched s01e02 yet), but I am just a bit worried since I already am having an issue with it and the show just started. Really, I wish they had just licensed Left 4 Dead. The game has a pretty big following and there was a big mainstream ad campaign for it, so its a recognizable franchise, and they would have way more autonomy when it comes to a storyline since the game is multiplayer based.
edit: just watched s01e02. Not bad, but still the writing and acting can be so dull at times. "Would that be considered theft?" Seriously? Worst line and worst line delivery all wrapped into one. That little scene could have easily be reworked in a way that didn't seem so improbable, but also would have foreshadowed them hooking up in the future by being a little more flirty.
I'm going to keep watching because its not lolbad, and zombies are cool, but I have a feeling that it will never quite live up to my hopes for the first hour long zombie TV show.
