"The episode doesn't start out with food rationing—it starts out with Lee and a new character named Mark hunting in the woods. Anyone who's read The Walking Dead knows how jaunts in the woods usually wind up, and so this one takes a quick digression into horribleville, with a no-win scene that was highly reminiscent of several similar situations that arise in the books. (I won't spoil it for you.)
Different people are writing and directing each of The Walking Dead's 5 episodes, so it stands to reason that there could be variable quality between each one. That could still be the case, but from what I saw, it would appear that the people writing episode 2 are ably following the example of the first episode."
