    A little underwhelmed with this episode compared to the first two. Will require a second watching to give an honest rating

    4.2 The Monopoly game did it for me.

    I liked it, but could have done without the close up of that poor puppy. It will haunt me : ( I'll give it 7.5

    I give it a solid 7, only because I don't know where this series is headed yet, and so I don't know what a 10 looks like yet. Enjoyed the episode though!

    To be honest it's probably my least favorite of the three so far, but still good. I'll go with 8.1

    Yeah I thought this episode was every bit as good as most of TWD's episodes and I am growing even fonder of these characters. Solid 9 for me.

    I think I am going to like this show better simply because we don't know the general direction the show will go. Guess some people prefer to know the general direction though.

    Second watching and I am still on the fence about this episode. While I think it had some very good moments, the episode as whole seemed a bit lackluster. Maybe I was expecting a bit more in the way of the riots, the fall of the hospital, law enforcement although trying to maintain order yet failing, etc. All of those types of scenarios just seemed a bit rushed to me. And while I would have like a bit more exploration of these scenes, it would have slowed down the progression of moving our characters' stories forward. I suppose there is only so much that you can get into each episode of a short six episode season and still maintain the forward momentum.

    After giving myself the above 2 minute therapy session I think I have a better understanding, or at the very least acceptance, for this episode. The previous episodes I gave ratings of 8. For this one I am going to give it a 7.5. Still fan of the show, and still believe that overall we will be given a really good story that will bring me back for season 2.

    BTW....I miss Rick

    Yeah I think we need to remember that we are seeing the fall of the city through the perspective of these characters. And that is not going to be an overall display of what is going on but instead little snap shots here and there. Having characters just sit there and watch the riots so the audience could see what was going on would just be dumb decision making by the character. They would try to find a way out of there quickly as they could like the characters in the show have done.

    Ima go with 7-8 range. Daniel Salazar definitely the hero this time, but minus one for no Tobias. It's becoming painfully obvious that neither Madison nor Travis, as humanitarians and teachers, are equipped to do the dirty work that needs to be done at this point. It's also a very realistic reaction for the average citizen who's new to apocalypses.

    High 8's. The most engaging episode for me so far. The pace moved quickly and there were a lot of cuts back and forth between the growing cast of characters.

    The only real downside is that Travis is a peacenik.

    They're doing a great job with this series so far, particularly since TWD audience came in with high expectations.

    Really enjoying the slow collapse of civilization. We have people with different levels of awareness intermingled into it all, depending upon what they've seen or where they've been.

    I like how they've brought together what appears to be the initial core group, and I really like how they continued to develop the Daniel Salazar character in this episode. He's one of my favorites.

    I give it an 8.
    My only real beef was that Madison, Nick and Alicia left their door open just moments after seeing the walker in front of their house. I would not do this at night ever, but particularly not when there's a walking corpse who used to be my neighbor out front.
    The Monopoly game...eh... Madison's attempt to normalize a situation that's spiraling out of control. I think she's trying to shield Alicia so she doesn't freak out about Matt, such as what happened when Alicia first sees Susan.
    I liked Daniel Salazar and Travis' ex wife in this episode. I find Travis annoying. I still like Nick - but I think we get it, he's a drug addict and makes bad choices, but still...change your damn clothes and quit asking for pills...he's got a lot of potential so I hope they don't him relegate him into such a one dimensional character...at least he recognizes these "infected" are really already dead, so that was a plus.

    I enjoyed this episode a lot.. It was really very spooky and suspensful at times, and I really enjoyed that.. We are really starting to get to know the characters personalitys.. Some I'm starting to like, and some I starting to not like. I would give this episode a solid 8.99999.

    I'll give it an 8. Just as equally entertaining as the last one.
