Going to watch it tonight. My wife tapes it so we can skip through the commercials.
Not watching it on Sunday night is tough but with work and my son's school the next morning, watching it the next night much earlier is the better choice for us.

We usually DVR it and start watching about 20 minutes in. That way we can skip commercials and still finish about the same time.

It was a bit over the top for me, wasn't expecting that at all!!!!

I have seen plenty movies/shows but don't recall seeing anything that graphic before.
If that continues throughout the season, I think I'll be watching something else from now on.
Maybe it's the love, so to speak, I had for the characters, I don't know, but that was disturbing,,,,, for me anyways.

I keep hearing people say it was too graphic and I can only guess that is because of who the violence happened to. After all, this is a show that's shown cannibalism, ritualistic dismemberment, characters covering themselves in entrails, beheading, throats slit (heck, Rick even ripped one guys throat out with his teeth), a child murdering her own little sister, characters bled out to be used as food, a character having his own leg eaten in front of him, etc., etc., etc. All this aside from the obvious fact that dead people are walking around eating the living, which in itself should be gruesome enough for most. Gore and violence is nothing new to this show, so the only thing that makes the "too graphic" reaction make sense was the emotional impact it had because of who the character was we were watching. I thought it was a fantastic episode and set the tone for what the show will be going forward. It's going to be very different from seasons past.

Yep. Always interesting to wonder when and where Kirkman will deviate from the comic. Last night was 'interesting' in that regard.
