re: Is The Walking Dead a good show to start watching?

Season 1 is one of the best seasons of television ever.

Season 2 was good, not as good as season 1, but the last few episodes including the finale were Season1-level worthy.

The rest of the show is pretty forgettable tbh. I would watch the season finale of season 6 (when Negan gets introduced) and then the season premiere of Season 7 --- those are the best episodes in the series not in Season 1 or 2.

also wondered how people like Andrea, Beth etc managed to stay so heavily made up and keep their fake blonde hair when they didn't even bathe for long periods of time.

I don’t think the show cared for actual realistic post apocalyptic appearances. Like all of them should’ve had horrible teeth

How much time passed between Rick getting shot and when he woke up in the hospital?

I've always wondered about this and for some reason didn't do any searching.

I watched a few of the first episodes recently and started wondering again.

I found this.

Initial Explanation: Showrunner Dave Erickson confirmed in an interview that Robert Kirkman stated Rick was in his coma for four to five weeks.


4-5 weeks and Lori is fricking Shane in the dirt in the woods? What a horrible wife she was.

Was there ever any evidence that she was a good wife?
