Let's see how long it takes for Amy to become a zombie
The answer to that is . . . way too long. I'm with Daryl on this one. Kill her before she turns and get outta dodge as fast as you can. You can mourn later. When Jim went half crazy they hit him and tied him to a tree, but nobody does anything to Andrea. A few people try to talk to her but that's it. Of course she does pull a gun on Rick, which in my book deserves a smack to the head and the gun taken away. I would prefer to kill Amy before she turns and possibly kills someone.
Dale talks about his dead wife to Andrea. She died of cancer. This was the first of many bonding moments with Andrea. Dale met Amy and Andrea some time during the outbreak. He thinks of them as his family. Amy is the first person we see go through the zombie transformation. It took all night for her to undergo the change. It's creepy and sad at the same time. At times it looks like she is going to hug Andrea but she is really trying to eat her sister. It was also stupid of Andrea to let Amy get so close before shooting her in the head.
Disposing of the dead
Glenn is very adamant that the walkers get burned and the campers that died are buried after their heads get bashed in. I love the look on Daryl's face when Carol bashes in dead Ed's head. You can see all of the anger she has felt towards him over the years come out as she shoves the pick axe over and over again into his head.
We don't kill the living
Jim was bitten by a zombie. This is one of those "oh crap" moments. What do you do with Jim? Daryl and Dale agree that Jim should be shot in the head. He is a threat to the group. Rick wants to find a cure at the CDC in Atlanta and Shane wants to go to Fort Benning. I agree with Daryl (surprised? didn't think so). Jim is infected and can spread the disease throughout the camp. If I were Jim I would choose a bullet to the head over the possibility of turning into a zombie. While Jim is sitting in the RV he has flashes of zombies. Is this the fever or a foreshadowing of things to come? Jim already saw the attack on the camp. The group splits. One of the families decides to go to Birmingham while the rest of the group heads back to Atlanta to find answers at the CDC. Jim decides he can't take it anymore and asks to be left by the side of the road. He declines the gun that Rick offers him. Daryl gives him a nod of respect as they all clamber back into their cars. Off to the CDC.
The beginning of crazy Shane
Shane almost shoots Rick in the forest. Rick asserts himself as the leader and forces Shane to back up his plan to go to the CDC. It's hard to know if he would have followed through with it because Dale interrupts him.
Is anyone out there?
We are introduced to Jenner, a CDC employee, transmitting to someone about his work (while drunk, because well, it's the end of the world so why not). While working on a sample he knocks some chemical into the sample and the alarms go off. The lab he was in blows up to contain the contamination. We see that he appears to be all alone. He is shocked when Rick and the gang start banging on the door to be let in. They start to head back to the cars when Rick notices that the camera moved. He begins to beg for a chance to survive. Jenner is reluctant, but then the door opens.
