I had the same problem with the zombie guts.

In fact last night's show did a pretty good job of damping my enthusiasm for this show in general. The entire group in the mall were pretty poorly acted and written, from the way they lazily tossed around expository dialog, to how they ham-fistedly, shoehorned in incredibly specific character knowledge at just the right time, to how they somehow timed all of their critical personality conflicts to happen just at the moment of the arrival of the sheriff.

The pilot promised an atmospheric, moody and more personal version of the zombie trope. This second episode felt like warmed over crap.
