I have a confession to make, please don't hate me! I never saw the first episode of "The Walking Dead" until this past weekend when AMC rebroadcast the first episodes. I did watch the entire first season of "Fear The Walking Dead" though.
I did not recognize Andrew Lincoln in the first episode, he looked so different! I mean, we're talking about an episode that first aired on Halloween in 2010. I thought the first episode was a carbon-copy of the beginning of "28 Days Later." I watched the episode but turned it off immediately at the scene when the walkers were attacking the horse Grimes was riding on. I know it's fake, but even simulated attacks on animals upset me.
Altogether very interesting episode. Kinda similar to what we're dealing with right now.
