I am confused too. I thought in the beginning of the downfall, you HAD to be bitten to turn, and that over time it infected everyone and that's why no matter how you died you turned. The drug dealer turned after he was shot. I hope they explain that.
Nick looks exactly like a young Johnny Depp.

Yea, I noticed the in-congruency too. There were lots of unturned dead bodies laying around for the first couple of seasons of TWD. The newly deceased didn't turn into walkers until the end of season two--well after this pre-apocalyptic time.

If anyone didn't see the pilot it's free to watch on the AMC website

I was a huge fan of walking dead, it really drew me in from the first episode. Fear of, not so much for some reason. It seemed kind of slow and I really didn't develop a connection to the characters.

I wonder if Calvin turning so fast meant that he was patient zero and that's how his drugs became the vector?

What did you think about the red spots on the face of nick and the kid with a knife? They seemed to keep getting worse and Nicks gate kept getting more and more Walkerish.

The second episode was much better however I missed the ending! My recording cut off. The neighbor was attacking the party goers and the teen daughter was trying to help. Mom closes the door and it cut off. What happened???

Thats it really. It just showed the mom and kids in the house all staring at each other and the dad, son and ex with the other family all staring at each other while the one lady prayed. Then it flashed to the neighbor that ate the other neighbors walking toward their house.

Since the phones are starting to cut out and so is the power, I cant help but wonder whether they meet up again, cause I didnt see them agree to a prearranged meeting place if they couldnt meet back at the house.

I didn't see how he was bitten either. And prearranged meeting places are so important. I just went to Chicago and the first thing my husband and I did was arrange a meeting place outside the hotel in case it was overrun by zombies (or ya know, caught fire).

I'm not super in love with this series yet and am hoping it grows on me. It's hard to see it as its own, unique creation and not make comparisons. I probably need to use the same trick on this as we do on TWD, which is to record two or three and watch them all at once. The plot advances so slowly that I find that more rewarding. Kind of like hoarding my calories so I can have cake.

I'm assuming they have a cabin in the desert somewhere; but geesh, good luck getting out of LA on those freeways!

Anyone see how the Principal got bitten. I saw him patrolling the empty halls and then he was a walker. Where the heck was the one that bit him?

Probably somewhere in the school. Some other staffer that stayed late or a student. Didn't bother me. Lots of places to wander in the school.

There has to be more with that kid who was super prepared for everything. Anyone else disappointed he didn't stay to become a part of "the group?"

So it's not on this week??

Nope
They only made 6 episodes for the first season, so I suspect they are spacing them out.
On the bright side though, we get to look for details in the reruns that we may have missed the first time around.

It's strange that the military is clearly killing uninflected ppl. Why? And why keep others safe?

I heard the code word "Cobalt" last night and it reminded me that originally this spin-off was going to be called "Cobalt Blue."
I'm enjoying it, but I just can't get into it the way I do with the original WD. Not sure why
