I may be forgetting one...but I think there was 1 zombie this whole episode. I understand they want there to be some more story lines, some drama, but I personally don't care about the little girl missing, and how many episodes have we focused on this? I hope they are able to pull it all together, because I really want to like this show, but it's losing me.

Surviving in a zombie infested world is a story enough to me, I want to see the characters search for shelter, food, water, supplies. I want to see them try to fortify their shelter...get pushed out for some reason, search for others, find where the helicopters are coming from, search for a "cure". I just think there is enough great story there that it's unnecessary to bring in the added drama, especially this early.

I agree about the well. I would never have chanced it. Sure, it's possible that it wouldn't be contaminated, but there is no way of ever knowing it. Yes, fresh water is a valuable resource and it's possible that the other 4 wells could run dry at some point, so you'd want to have well 5 as an option, but I'm not sure it was worth all of that. Once Plan A failed, I would have called it a day.

I disagree about the drama. A bunch of nameless characters with no background, interactions, feelings, emotions or what not running around a zombie apacolypse is fine and all and I would enjoy that, but I find it much more meaningful when there is more to characters. I also enjoy seeing how people deal with what's going on and the interactions with one another.

The Sophia thing doesn't bother me either. It took a pretty big back seat to Carl being shot and is now working as a decent excuse for why Hershel is letting the group stay at his place.
