I agree with the tension point. For whatever reason though, I always feel tense watching that show. I just amped for some reason. It seems to carry over after the show too, since, more often than not, I will have a zombie dream after watching this. I like zombie dreams. I had one on Sunday night. No zombies, but it was in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. I was in a house with my wife and some woman and she told us that she heard on the radio that they power would keep going until January 13, 2012. That's all I really remember.

Also, given how many god damned commercials they seemed to pack into those 90 minutes that'd be a LOT of tension. I guess AMC's gotta do something to afford its Mad Men budget.
