My Take on AMC's The Walking Dead (episode one *** spoilers)

SPOILER ALERT THIS DESCRIBES EVERYTHING.

AMC's series of The Walking Dead started off fantastically! it had a brilliant opening, and may I say the music is very catchy! if you don't know what the walking dead is:  The Walking Dead is an American post-apocaliptic horror drama television series developed by Frank darabont..... 

SERIES ONE! (part one of my take)
The series opened with police officer 'Rick Grimes' being wounded by armed criminals in a shoot out. taken to hospital by best mate 'Shane' he ends up in a coma. whilst rick was in a coma the apocalypse came about... he wakes up later in the episode after seeing the drama friend shane goes through trying to wake him up but failing to do so and ending up thinking he's dead. (more on that later)  ANYWAY rick wakes up in the abandoned and badly damaged hospital. not understanding what's happened he falls upon many strange things inside. a door which reads 'don't open dead inside' when he finally finds a way out of the hospital he finds a place out back which you could call a 'graveyard' .... well its good enough. and is overwhelmed by the smell... at this point i think rick gets the legit of things and decides that its best to stay away from strange things. well i would... wouldn't you? rick discovers his wife Lori and son carl are missing and makes his way to his house. when he gets there nobody's home. but they must be somewhere right? in the process of looking he falls upon survivors Morgan and his son Duane who take him in and explain the situation to him. morgan and duane have some scary encounters especially with the mother and wife of them, zombiefied she comes back everyday and tries to get into the door...  an extreamly upsetting scene. (made me cry) they decided the next day to go to the police station where rick works to get guns and ammunition. this is when they part ways. morgan and his son decide to stay at there home as its there best comfort zone, and rick decides to carry on searching for lori he hands Morgan a walkie talking and tells him to contact him every morning and every night if he needed anything. he takes a police car and heads into the direction of Atlanta city. rick soon runs out of gas and has to walk until he finds a empty house that has a horse which he takes and rides to Atlanta.  a helicopter flies over the city which looks like its empty so rick takes this as a safe option and follows it, while he turns a corner he finds at least a thousand zombies all crowded in one place. now a horses hooves makes a lot of noise. the zombies chase him. (ANIMAL LOVERS DON'T READ/WATCH) cornered rick tries to save his and the horses life but has no option because they grapple at the horse and start ripping it apart. the thing that upset me the most about this scene was the sound the horse made when it screamed in pain. (*although no animals where actually hurt*) rick rolls under and tank and of course a thousand or so zombies cannot eat one horse and a lot of them go after rick YUM. it shows later on in this episode that these zombies actually aren't dumb... well it showed that before when she tried to open a door like a normal person. but they got on the ground and started crawling after rick. i thought this was the end of him 'nope nope nope there's no way he's going to survive now' (my words exactly) he climbs into the tank away from the zombies. now I thought it was going to end here but it shows rick searching the tank for anything he can find. as I forgot to mention earlier. he dropped his bag of guns and has nothing on him so save his life. SUDDENLY a walkie talkie goes off in the tank that says something along the lines of 'hey dumbass yeah you in the tank, you cosy in there?' and episode one ends with a zoom out shot on the zombie crowding the tank and eating the horse. 


'THIS episode was amazing. i love the way they set everything out, the scenery was amazing and the acting and makeup is fantastic, a great opening episode! :) well done amc :) '



PHEW! now that took me ages to write. 
Question time: (asked by a friend, ask me any questions in the comments!)


what's your fave episode?


'Episode one intrigued me the most I think. i dont have a number one favourite but episode one is defo one of my fave episodes although there was some upsetting scenes it told the story well.'


who's your favourite character in the whole series?


'I actually have 2 favourite characters but they come later in the series... ;)'


if you where in a zombie apocalypse who would you take and why? 


'id take one of my PE teachers (no name) just because there a complete and utter nutter and would kick some zombie ass! id also take my to fave characters from the walking dead because they have some mad skills! my mum, my dog and my brothers matt and ben (I have more brothers id pick up on the way and my 2 sisters, my nieces and nephews also) because there my family and id want to make sure there okay at all times. id pick up survivors on the way (only the good, for precautions)'


where would you go? and how would you get there?


'dude. no questions about it. my brother matt made a really good argument about going to a 'wickes' store. don't ask me why, just think about it. and id get there by a bus. id totally deck it out maybe pop in some beds have knives stuck to the front of it (double decker of course) so when we have to go on really far/long runs for supplies we have a safe place to be (make sure the doors and windows are boarded up as well though, im not that stupid! *laughs*'
