But I remember when the wife of Morgan started jiggling the handle in the pilot, I thought to myself, "My God, they're as smart as raptors."

Rick was still alive, in the hospital before the dead started rising. So, Lori has to assume he died from the zombies, not his GSW.

How cold was his supposed corpse before she started banging his best friend? There wasn't that much hair growth when he woke up.

At home, just in case he -did- make it? Kind of a bitch thing to do).

Yes, the zombies were running, but they weren't exactly sprinting. And it's not like they were running so fast that escape wasn't an option. As to the tool-using...well, even the most rudimentary animal life form can recognize something that can be utilized as a possible tool (even if it's just knocking it around till it works). While I would have liked them to stay to Roamers and Lurkers, I also feel like it ups the adrenaline if you're not sure what kind of zombies are in the herd.

As long as they never get as fast as the Snyder Dawn of the Dead zombies, I think it'll all be okay.

Always got to bring a geek fight down The climbing of the fence was to much of a WTF moment for me...and I will leave it at that.

Is it wrong that I feel the need to possibly bone Rick Grimes.

I don't care if they run, use tools, jump, whatever. I'm just looking for it to be actually established what that is.
In 'Days Gone Bye', they were bamboozled by drawn curtains and quietness and lacked any sort of base intelligence. The focus of this episode, of course, being how humans are surviving mentally during the ordeal. The 'geeks' did little more than rattle a doorknob.
In 'Guts', the zombies met each action of the humans with an equal reaction. Locked out by glass doors? Break the glass. Prey running off? Run after them. Cut off by a chain link fence? Climb the fence. It's like if they took off in a chopper, they'd be met by flying zombies trying shoot them down with laser eyes.
Granted, it's only been two episodes but in each one the zombies only performed to give the most tension for the storyline with no status quo for what the zombies are capable of within the genre. Is this 'Night of the Living Dead' (Errrrrrrrrrg. Uggggggggh.), 'Return of the Living Dead' (Send more paramedics.) or a combo of both?
