Guess I should have re-watched that part. It looked like he just twisted his neck to break it.

Maybe I missed something, or perhaps I'm mixing up zombie rules from other shows/films, but didn't Rick kill Carter the wrong way or forget a step? A broken neck wouldn't prevent him from turning into a zombie.

This show's writers are great. Loved Blaine's line about coffins with "breakaway lids for zombies who want to make a big entrance with the traditional hand reaching up through the dirt."

I hate it when shows fulfill my most cynical expectations. Like introducing 3 black characters in the 1st episode, then having them all get sick or go full zombie within the first two episodes, before any of the other named characters (junkie white girl in pilot doesn't count since she was never introduced first as a…

Plus, there were too many tired gags that seemed to rely solely on the audience being impressed that this is Patrick-fucking-Stewart to make them work. Before watching the show, my husband and I half-jokingly guessed the show would include…
