Has anyone pointed out that the 1.5 hour season premiere was approximately 60 minutes of show and 30 minutes of commercials, all approximately 3 minutes apart?
The commercial frequency was insane, yes. All the better to fill us in on incredibly lame tie-ins like Shane and Rick pitching the SPIKE SCREAM AWARDS (wtf is this?) and zombies shilling t-mobile phones. And did anyone watch that "THE TALKING DEAD" crap? I saw that and wondered out loud if the producers of The Hills or Teen Mom had taken over this show?
Someone touched on the water, and how they couldn't take it all so Shane being a dope was a-ok. Someone else pointed out "Why not take the truck for awhile?" EXACTAMUNDO! 175 abandoned cars blocking the road and whats the plan? Take the gas from that 2010 Ford Excursion with 4 wheel drive and a V8 HEMI engine, push it out the way and grab a hose off this Hyundai (The Official Mid Size Sedan of The Walking Dead™, no lie the next commercial was for Hyundai)..... SO WE CAN FIX UP OUR 72 WINNEBAGO AND THIS 83 JEEP WAGONEER AND HIT THE ROAD! Seriously did everyone become zombiefied and run from their cars with their keys in hand?

Cuz that was some BULLSHIT.
that's a pretty average show-to-commercial ratio though
Kirkman stated in an EW interview during the first season that they are going to do things differently from the comic because when he was writing the comic, he expected the series to be cancelled within the first 100 issues and tried to shoehorn things in sooner than he would have liked. The general direction and plot points will be the same, though.
@ Anyone else who has read the comics, did you find the shift from of artists from tony moore to charlie adlard slightly jarring? Those two have completely different styles and I definitely found it slightly difficult to adjust to adlards style after finishing the first volume that was just tony moore. The way adlards draws his characters, they tend to be sorta on the ugly side.
Kind of, and I liked Tony Moore's style better I think. But I got used to Adlard quick enough. Also, Adlard messed up and used Amy's character design for Andrea for the rest of the series.

The funny part is that if you watch closely, every time they have a traffic bottleneck, it's the same dozen or so vehicles they use for close-ups.
And it's always a PT Cruiser upside down. That thing is built with casters on the roof, they had it sitting outside our office when they filmed down here, which I have to assume is for a flashback in a future episode, because it was old footage of the cobb galleria for the premiere.

Really? The comic is Kirkman rushing things?
Dude really likes his interpersonal drama, I guess. Or maybe to him an 'arc' is 50 issues instead of the pithy 5-7 issues Marvel and DC put into their big 'event' comics.
Yeah, I think my biggest gripe with this show is that I really don't care if any of the characters die (except for Darryl right now). There's no real tension because I'm not particularly rooting for the survivors to succeed.
Though that might not be entirely the fault of the shitty writing; it may also stem from my expectations established from reading the books, in which we've already discovered more than once that not even the core group of characters is safe, ultimately leaving me apprehensive about getting attached to any one character.

At the end of this season we find out that god has the power to make animals do what he wants, as our group of survivors tries to escape his infested cloud fortress before a doomsday timer counts down to zero and the whole thing explodes.

With enough force to completely level a building with a massive steel infrastructure but not shatter the windshields and glass of the cars they took refuge in.
My sense of reality in this zombie apocalypse show is completely RUINED.

No, you've got it all wrong. Cloud fortresses aren't made of steel.

As someone who has never gone hunting, the deer scene seemed totally fine to me.
Put it down to all the hunters being zombies now, so deer in general are more chill.

It would take generations of deer for them to chill that much, and only if all humanoid predators were completely absent from their area. If all the hunters are zombies, which will also hunt deer, that means the deer will still run the fuck away from people. It's not like they can tell the difference.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.
It can depend on where the deer live. For instance, I had a deer walk up to me outside my apartment building in Alexandria. We're right on a large nature reserve, so they get pretty bold.

Georgia.
So, no.
Well, in Rome Georgia the deer are like that. They serious don't give a fuck, due to Berry College, which is half nature preserve. When I was there I could walk like five feet away from a deer and it would just look at me and go "What? You want some of this?"
The skunks were worse, bold little fuckers would walk right up to sniff your feet while you froze in abosolute terror.
But considering that Rome is north west of Atlanta, and Ft. Benning is south east, I'm pretty sure they're nowhere near Rome.

they seemed to be about an hour south of ATL on 75.
Smack dab in the middle of the very definition of "rural america". These deer would not walk up to people. They would bolt.

Yeha, that deer would have been gone before they even knew there was a deer.

Is that a rumor or just an often repeated fan theory?

have none of the writers ever encountered a deer, or any wildlife, in reality?
Half the time I don't think the writers have ever encountered people
Especially women

No, that idea is wrong on quite literally, dozens of levels.

1. Writers are dumb.
except
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
What? You mean the
That was fantastic.
The entire highway zombie horde sequence made up for more of the bothersome stuff later in the episode, at least it did for me.
