I think that it would probably start to sink in what’s going on upon seeing the door and the dead bodies in the hospital and the thought would be confirmed when seeing the woman missing her lower half. As to what would be going through my head, it would be a combination of, “What in pluperfect hell is going on?!” and, “There is no way my luck is THAT bad.” Two ideas about the Lori/Shane scene: One: maybe an affair was going on between the two beforehand. Two: If it only started after the outbreak, maybe it started due to shared grief for Rick. I realize I’m highly likely wrong on one or both as I don’t know how that plotline progressed, this is just my thoughts based solely on the pilot. In Morgan’s place, given how unknown and risky it would be to go with Rick, particularly when you have a kid to look after, I also probably would have stayed put thinking better the devil you know. My favorite scene was probably where Rick and the walker in the tank looked at each other and it takes Rick a moment to put two and two together, largely because of how much it made me laugh. I was informed about the discrepancies regarding the teddy bear and the doorknob, but those didn’t bother me because, a: they were highly effective scenes, and b: like pretty much every show in its first season they always have inconsistencies that don’t mesh and that you ultimately give them a pass for because they are still building the world and lore. Two things that did bother me were concerning Rick’s beard. First that he shaved it off, at which point I yelled, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, MAN??!!” The second thing was how when he wakes up in the hospital, I said, “His beard looks way too neat if he’s been abandoned for as long as he has. There should be a lot more growth around the neck especially.” I had noticed the excessive cruelty to horses in the episodes that I have seen on this show, and yes, it really does seem gratuitous. I agree that when a show evolves that it can be a very terrific experience. It’s like that for me with M*A*S*H in that you compare the show to how it began to how it ended, the contrast is stunning, and when you watch the whole thing start to finish, and you see how its evolved, how its changed, how the characters changed, it is prenominal. I haven’t seen too much of The Walking Dead so I can’t speak as to how it’s done there, but I’ll take your word that the evolution over the years is truly a sight to behold. I thank you for another great Sesska Suggests. I have my fingers crossed that you enjoy the final season. I also hope your mom and best friend really enjoy seeing the final season as well. And I look forward to whatever ideas you have for doing a potential rewatch of the show. I know that in my case, it would give me a particularly good reason to sit down and see the whole show. Again, thanks for this Sesska Suggests.

I love passion. I love it when people are passionate about stuff they're interested in - like a sport they're involved with or an activity they do or a movie/TV series they watch. I love Classic Doctor Who - which is why I'm here. But I'm really not into either post-apocalyptic fiction or zombie content, so "The Walking Dead" has never appealed and I didn't think I'd ever watch an episode. Hm, I suppose it's not all post-apocalyptic fiction - for example I like "The Day of the Triffids" book - a guy wakes up in hospital to find an apocalyptic situation and a bunch of slow-moving killer plants. It probably means that my issues are more with the zombies rather than about the end of civilization - perhaps I should just think of zombie crowds as a bunch of swaying triffids. However, because you posted this Sesska Suggests on your channel I felt I should actually give the first episode a try so I could appreciate your comments about it. So I watched the episode - and it was very good. I love your passion for this show and really appreciate your spoiler-free discussion. And your fun fact. Thanks for posting this Sesska Suggests. Um ... but I don't know if I'll watch another episode.

Ok, I may be more surprised to follow up on my comment than any of you are. (I know it's normally considered bad form to post a follow up to yourself.) I decided to watch the second episode ("Guts") and - wow - I really liked it a lot - much more than the first one. I liked the group working together to solve their problem. I'm two episodes in and I think I'll be watching the next one sometime. Thanks.

Slightly late to this, but why not? My history with the show is that I watched S1 when it came out. I don't remember a lot about it from then except I know I liked it a lot. However I do know that I forgot to pick it up again for a while and then a few seasons later I was hearing mutterings that it had "gone down hill". Later still I thought I'd watch but I was so far behind and so much else to watch. Anyway, now I decided I will try again and see what it's like. I thought about various jumping on points but in the end I decided to start at the very beginning. So today I rewatched 1x01 and just listened to your Sesscast about it. Oops hit enter too soon - more to come...

So your questions: 1. When would I, as Rick, start to get what was going on? I think you would think something was weird once you see the eaten body in the hospital. The hospital being abandoned is weird enough. Then the hand. I don't think I would figure it out until Morgan explains it. Especially since this is a world without zombie movies. But you'd know something very odd was going on. 2. How do I feel about Shane with Lori? This is where it's hard to separate feelings from my analytical has-watched-too-much-TV brain. I'm not a fan. Rick is who we've been following, he seems like a good bloke, he's having quite a time of it and his wife has apparently moved on? Also that scene in the care where they're discussing women - starts to make me think maybe Shane-Lori was already happening? (it's possible I'm actually remembering that). Now my TV brain is saying this is all to be expected. You want some non-zombie related tension and conflict both to flesh out the characters but also to add a dimension when they need to inevitably band together against the bigger threat. TV brain also thinks that such tension won't last too long. Someone's going to die or leave or they'll come to an understanding. You can't play the love triangle angle for too long in a long-running show. 3. About Morgan's decision to stay. Probably the right one. It's about moving on emotionally right? So he can't leave until he's literally and emotionally buried his wife. I think practically it might not be the best because Rick and he together would make quite a team and on his own his got a whole town of walkers to get past. But it makes sense. 4. Shot or moment that stood out. I can answer this one because the one strong memory I do have is the impact the opening sequence had on me back in 2010. Something eerie about a single car on a road where there clearly should be others, pulling up to what looks like an accident but no-one around. Interestingly in 2022 it didn't have the same impact. I think maybe I've seen a lot more post-apocalyptic setup scenes since then. I do still think the whole opening until he meets Morgan - him waking up and not knowing what's going on. Us discovering the world with him is well done. I think now I might go with the "I'm sorry this happened to you" scene. It is poignant and beautifully shot actually. I also think it's more like how a person would react. In a world with no zombie movies you wouldn't see that and think monster that's going to get me, you'd think person that's been in a terrible accident and needs help. The first time he's already a bit freaked out and runs (an instinct that probably saved him). This time he knows he can't help really but still thinks in terms of human that something bad has happened to not disposable monster. Anyway I did enjoy it. I'm off to watch the next episode.
