I think that point about people being killed at a far higher rate than being turned is highly important and I guess implicit in the show -
Tanya pretty much says it explicitly in 47-2 that plenty of people may be immune but just got massacred. I guess the same with
skittles.
I agree that while all this may be nitpicky it is important because as said, we have KC but any new listener - if this ever gets syndicated or effectively commercialised as a box set - won't be able to clarify these issues.
That all said the strongest component to this show is the fact that it does start up immediately and that it doesn't dilly dally with all the "what's a zombie" bullshit. We learn our
characters through the melee, and the zombies aren't just another generic disaster or post-apocalypse plot device. So I don't think you need to focus too much more on the beginning, but as you said, a slight addition here and there would work out well. I think particularly the proliferation of zombies -
Pegs' flower pot incident makes it seem that they're all around, whereas obviously when driving in
chapter 1 Michael doesn't seem to see too many. Maybe he should see blood stained roads and nearly have a close call or run over something? I don't know. Not my story to tell!
