All i'll say is watch out for a bad ass chick w/ a sword and 2 zombies on leashes.

Chicks with swords works for HA!

1. Guns would be scarce because most people would grab and stockpile weapons , so gun shops would be cleaned out. Whether or not those people are dead and sitting on an arsenal would be another story.
2. They do have adequate transportation a winnebago , a few cars/trucks , something a bit more armored would be nice but they are staying true to the comics
3. Shelter won't be a problem later but most of the secure places like a prison *hint hint* would probably have been claimed by other survivors

1. Guns would be plentiful initially but ammo is the key. How many gun shops are there in big cities. You are more likely to find a lot of ammo in the rural areas than a downtown. Even then they would be raided first and likely emptied out within the first week.

2. Transportation would be available but because society has broken down the amount of fuel supplies would become fixed. Even if you were able to get to a service station would you be able to access the gasoline considering there is no power and likely some sort of shutoff valve cutting off access.

I was talking about this on another board and one great part about last nights episode was watching Shane break down over this short season. We started last nights episode showing Shane try to protect Rick in the hospital while the military was shooting patients in the hallway. Then Shane tries to protect Rick's wife and son. When Rick returns it further shatters Shane's life and we saw him spiral further and further out of control.

This whole season was how would you act when society completely breaks down. There is no law and order and all of a sudden you are not the top of the food chain.

Even Rick is going crazy. He stills wears his full sheriff's uniform despite their being no government, police, military, etc.

wow that looks so freakin interesting!!!!! no joke! when does next season come out? do u know?

Next year in the fall.

Without spoiling too much from the interviews lets say that when the girl arrives they want it to be an epic entrance.

Next season will also see them dealing with the winter as well.

AMC rushed Darabont to have the show ready for this fall, that's why they only completed 6 episodes. They didn't know how well it would be received so they didn't order more.

OK, maybe it was 6. But thats still a really short season. Kind of dissapointing that I have to wait till next fall. It was just getting good.

I'm not a comic book guy, so I had no idea in the beginning that this show was based on something existing. While I loved the premiere episode I was left wondering how they were going to continue the storyline of surviving with zombies, and do it so that it remains interesting. I was happy to find out that its based on a comic and that there is MUCH more to come, so I will happliy stay tuned. This quickly became my number 1 show this fall. Good stuff!!
