Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe reason this episode is longer than most (68 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes for season premiers) is because budget cuts forced two episodes to be condensed into one. Originally season two was supposed to have 14 episodes, with the first episode being titled "Miles Behind Us" and the second episode "What Lies Ahead." "Miles Behind Us" was supposed to tell the story of how the group got out of Atlanta after fleeing the CDC (these scenes are included as deleted scenes on the DVD/Blu-Ray of season two). "Miles Behind Us" was also going to include a flashback scene showing the backstory of the Army Ranger played by Sam Witwer that was in the tank and was shot by Rick after he had turned, came to be in the predicament that forced him to take shelter inside the tank and die.
- Goofs+A lot of people point out that the Hyundai SUV that Shane finds is a 2011 model, and therefore couldn't be there since the outbreak happened in 2010. However cars are manufactured, and often sold, in the year leading up to their "model year". So the Hyundai Shane finds could be one someone had just purchased, and even if that model wasn't on the market yet, it is possible someone could of taken it from an assembly plant lot.

Decent Second Season Opener

Outstanding: Some great, tense horror moments in this episode, especially in the tense early moments of the attack. The actors here run the gamut from over the top and up, but I really like Andrew Lincoln in this.
Unacceptable: Unfortunately, a few little things let this episode down, mostly the ludicrously sloppy autopsy, the constant gun argument and the director's tendency to cut away to the reaction shots during action scenes. I know this is a TV show, but the first season had no qualms. But they had a budget, too.
Summary: Overall a decent second season opener, and a huge improvement over the last season's big CDC-CGI extravaganza.
