By far the best episode of the series. I would argue one of the top ten episodes of the "The Walking Dead Universe."
I would give the series a B for the season, as this episode lifted it up.
I am a fan of the show. Is it as good as TWD? No....
I am fine with the slow pacing start. The writers knew that the show had 2 years guaranteed so they could afford a slower pace.
As for the characters:
Travis: I actually liked him. It is easy to criticize his "pacifist" nature but we knew more than these characters I did. His character really changed on the season finale. I also love the actor Cliff Curtis.
Madison: She will be a kick ass character. Could potentially be the best female character in the universe not named Carol or Michonne. Love the acturess Kim Dickens... Sexy MILF as well.
Nick: They are dropping his annoying drug addict part, which is about time. But his addiction will help him survive in this world.
Daniel: He is the old man in the show, but he is no Hershal or Dale. He is kick ass. I am guessing he will be the leader of the group early, but then will die when Travis is ready to be the alpha.
Mercedes: I like the actress...HOT... Has potential? She has not been much more than Daniel's hot daughter so far.
Christopher and Alicia: So far are just being typical teens. I will be interested to see how these two characters evolve, especially Chris after the death of his mom.
Strand: Has potential to be a breakout character. Do not know much about him yet.
Elizabeth: Will not miss her
