That and the horse being torn apart. I'm going to have Ann close her eyes in that part.

I could not look at the tv at all. I knew the horse was going to be zombie fodder the minute he decided to ride him.

And I totally dig Lennie James. Nice to see more of his acting range than being stoic in Jericho.

I did the apropos thing and watched Zombieland before this came on. I also watched Hot Fuzz in the morning on Comedy Central and 13 Ghosts (the original) on TCM. I would've rented Let the Right One In but there was only time for a nap before trick or treating.

The whole sequence of him at the window with the gun and his son downstairs was heartbreaking.

I'm really wanting to see this ....

The folks who huddled in my apartment by fake candlelight (zombiance, if you will) really dug it.  I think the television drama format will allow for a much more in-depth look at the psychological trauma this induces in the survivors, and how people live when under constant threat, not from a human enemy operating under human norms, but from a unknowable horror.  And how people can retain their humanity (if indeed they can).  [spoiler]For me, my favorite scene (and the one I hope sets the tone for some of the series), was when Rick goes back after the half-zombie and finishes it off.  His apology ('I'm sorry this happened to you.') says a lot about the man he is, and hopefully how he'll approach the future.  I hope Lennie's character realizes, for his sake and for his kid's, that shooting the thing that used to be his wife is an act of mercy.[/spoiler]

The makeup on this show is outstanding. [spoiler]That half zombie was beyond creepy. I loved the direction of the scene as well, with panning way back.[/spoiler]
