I've not read the comics, but I certainly wondered why there are no dead bodies around the farm, and why there are only one or two individual walkers in the woods around the farm, rather than the herds elsewhere. I'm interested now, especially since Herschel is so sure than this is no worse than AIDS. I just thought that he hadn't been out much, but the farm has hardly any guns or supplies of any kind. It is just wrong for it to have been untouched.
I'm also seeing loose ends - the flying helicopter in the first episode, whatever Doctor Jenner told Rick at the CDC. I'm glad there is more going on.
I understand that they are looking out for the girl, but that highway isn't safe. I don't know why they don't stop arguing and get off the road to the farm. There is too much grandstanding about who should do what and too little action. Is that what most people would do under the circumstances? Possibly it is, but then most people would have died. Unlikely as it seems, these people are not just lucky, but to have survived against all the odds they would have to have been making some right decisions, and I just can't see that happening.
I wish you hadn't spoilered about Lori and Shane, but Rick can be a very loose cannon, so it wouldn't be a surprise that he doesn't take it calmly. There IS a suggestion that they were having an affair before Rick was shot, but that wasn't explicitly shown yet. If they had only begun their relationship after Rick was believed dead then I see they did nothing wrong at all. However, if it was before, it changes everything, because Shane's motives for leaving Rick at the hospital, and some other events are all brought into question. I wish they would get this plot line over with though because I don't find it all that interesting.
