Ep6 disappointed me, to be fair.

I don't need pseudoscience half-explanations for the zombies; that only makes it weaker because it calls attention to how little sense they make. I did like TS-19 being Jenner's wife, but that was awfully telepgraphed. The entire standoff between Jenner and our gang felt rather contrived; one minute Jenner is welcoming them, the next second he's potentially a multiple murderer. It didn't sit right for me. I can buy his willingness to commit suicide, but not the requirement that people go with him.
I liked the bit with Shane and Lori though. They've really slowed down the pace of Shane's unhinging compared to the comic, but I think they are going to the same place with it.
I could have done with ropey explosion CGI too.
People who haven't read the comic might be interested to know that not one single bit of ep6 was in it. I am interested in what season 2 will bring though. I wonder if they'll have the cojones to keep it as harrowing as the comic, though, such as (spoilers for comic, not show):

that town of survivors they find where they feed people to zombies for sport and that nutbag leader; or the colossal death count in principal characters.
I also wonder if series two will focus on

the prison.
