I watched the first episode and had my doubts. Half way through the second episode I was sure that this is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. The acting is incredibly poor and the story is just so full of holes you wonder why they even bothered.

Here are a few examples:

- Why was the sheriff asleep in hospital for so long that his beard grew? Also, how did he sleep so deeply that he didn't hear the army arrive and all the shooting and shouting that would have followed? Apparently he was also asleep long enough for his wife to completely forget about him/stop grieving his death and start sleeping with his partner.

- Why hasn't he bothered to ask A SINGLE PERSON what happened to the rest of the world when he was in hospital? Instead he chooses to chat about jewellery :blink:

- Why couldn't you hear the zombies banging on the tank when he climbed inside? (also, why didn't he look relieved/surprised/elated when he found the entrance to the tank?)

- They entered the department store from a rear entrance yet somehow the zombies all knew to try and break in through the front entrance?

- Why does the sheriff's partner pull his trousers up so high? Who does that?

It really is a second rate program and I'll be amazed if it lasts a full season.

I guess they tried the same route as "28 days later", the Sheriff was probably not asleep but in a coma. Problem is, the beard did not grew long enough for the long while he was supposed to be abandoned (long enough for the wife to be with the cop partner), alone in the hospital. Unless it stop growing when you're in a coma, I'm no doctor.... As for everything else, the sheriff seems happy to go with the flow, no questions asked. Who needs to know what happened right??

Another problem I have is with all the vehicle that are there. Are all of them empty of gas? Darn, get one of those nice Hummer and just plow your way out. They use a Challenger, but nothing else runs? There's are first time for everything, I would have tried the Tank, or an 18 wheeler, anything bigger and stronger than those zombies....

That group in the department store, was it the first time that this white power moron got into a fit with the black dude? How come it only happens "now"...?

Agreed. And why would you swap a car for a horse? A horse that you're planning on riding down a long grass-less highway into a big grass-less city :rolleyes:

Just caught the two episodes. It certainly has potential. The first episode moved a little slow at times, but I'm optimistic of what I'm seeing, though it would be nice if Rick would actually ask a single question about what caused the events, and for the show to indicate just how long he was in a coma for. Besides that, I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I don't think its ever revealed in the comics what caused it and Kirkman said recently in an interview that he has no plans of revealing it in the show

You must be one of those people that picks apart everything about every movie and goes "OMG THATS SOOO UNREALISTIC!" Its a show about a zombie apocalypse and you are picking apart tiny unimportant inconsistencies to say its a horrible show.

Probably because beside the road there is GRASS. Unlimited fuel! Makes perfect sense to me man.

Apparently he was also asleep long enough for his wife to completely forget about him/stop grieving his death and start sleeping with his partner. Maybe you should watch the first episode. Clearly he was in a long coma after he got wounded and lost a fair amount of blood.

- Why hasn't he bothered to ask A SINGLE PERSON what happened to the rest of the world when he was in hospital? Instead he chooses to chat about jewellery :blink: He probably has better reasoning skills than you. In the first 5 minutes of the first episode, you'd have noticed he had to shoot a little girl who was infected.

- Why couldn't you hear the zombies banging on the tank when he climbed inside? (also, why didn't he look relieved/surprised/elated when he found the entrance to the tank?) I kinda think he was out of breathe and had far more important things to rather than look around and wave his hands in the air to celebrate, most likely was in a bit of a hurry. He hurriedly scurries to the back of the tank once he gets in and closes the hatch.

- They entered the department store from a rear entrance yet somehow the zombies all knew to try and break in through the front entrance? Maybe because the front is glass and you can see through glass? They were all standing at the entrance.

- Why does the sheriff's partner pull his trousers up so high? Who does that? Maybe your wearing your pants to low? He's got a belt clip attached to his pants which make it seem higher than they really are.

It really is a second rate program and I'll be amazed if it lasts a full season. As someone already mentioned, there's already a second season in place. There's also greater interest in this show outside the states as well.

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
