Watch The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 5 Online - Wildfire. In the last episode Andrea announced that the next day was Amy's birthday and it was pretty much clear she was a goner, but Kirkman did a great job of misleading us on who might die and who might not. After that it's expected for Jim to bite the dust after his grave-digging breakdown at the top of the hour led to him being tied to a tree. That's a snack all tied up and ready to go for the dead. He also very cleverly had Amy be attacked in a scene juxtaposed with the attack on Ed. With Ed being a less sympathetic character, it was effective spotlighting a good character we're growing to care about with one we don't so much to emphasize the true equality this undead threat brings to humanity. For all our petty prejudices and racism and bigotry and whatever other baggage we carry with us, the undead don't care. A racist taste every bit the same as someone from the Peace Corps.
