Not a creeper. Never had the nerve to follow her down the hall to see what unit she lives (lived?) in and I'd have no other business that far down. I leave that to our resident Walker Stalkers (they are everywhere).
I just watched it again. Started off with the principle with the radio it looked like he was trying to radio someone maybe a security guard? Later in the office there is the switchboard and a weird shuffling sound on the speaker metal detector goes off and they leave. When they encounter the principal again he definitely had a bite on his back. I'm assuming he went looking for the other person with the radio who was zombiefied.
One thing I don't like is nobody has the news on or even a radio. The barber shop would definitely have a radio why sit in silence when you could listen to the news for updates

True, but it wouldn't particularly help the story, as it would just be news about a riot. The riot was simply a plot device to show society starting to break down.
The dad tells the barber shop guy that the illness makes people "violent"; is that what they think is going on? Do they not know that the dead are coming back to life?
That would be lame. Just because there is a male leader in TWC doesn't mean there needs to be a female leader in this series...
I'm not saying that to be sexist at all. In TWC you have Carol, Michone and Maggy. All strong female characters who stand on their own in the series.... So it isn't like TWC was lacking that context.

No one except emergency services has seen anyone die and come back yet. The main characters are not medical people so they would likely first assume that they got it wrong, missed something -- people have been buried alive in real-life. The kid drug addict is the only one who's seen a woman with a pole through her chest, but even that isn't 100% confirmation of death -- he killed his dealer, but he didn't stop to check his pulse, and he was going through withdrawal so how reliable is he anyway?
All corpses so far have been pretty fresh too, so rotting flesh and ghostly pale bodies haven't shown up yet -- that principal looked out of his mind but other than his eyes, he looked alive-ish.
The major question for me is what did Travis Manawa's (the dude) wife see on the homeless person that made her suddenly believe? His, the homeless dude, face looked bloody but I didn't see obvious Walking Dead zombie.
The problem is, that is bad for storytelling, but how real situations go. In the event of an emergency, I don't have time to tell you why you need to do this or that; you need to stfu and do it and maybe I'll explain later. Otherwise, people die.
Not saying she didn't have places to explain (end of the episode and the neighbor, for example), but it isn't always ideal to stop in the middle of shit and go "well, here is how it is".

We've just been shown snippets from the "news" so no doubt that's the impression the writers want to create but if you stop to think about it, just couple zombies turn into a shit load of zombies pretty quickly. And the fact that there have been reports from other states when the series began tells us that this isn't a recent phenomenon. The idea that people can't believe what they're seeing can only take you so far.
That's why I think there has to be a high level decision to try to "contain" the problem rather than make any effort to inform people. It's either that or the entire CDC, the alphabet soup of govt agencies and the entire medical establishment are completely incompetent. Somebody somewhere knows what's really happening and I think we're going to get more hints of that.

Ya, I think we're at the limit now. If they keep using the "I don't believe it" thing beyond another episode, it'll start getting hard to watch.
My money's also on a cover-up. Just that church alone, there were a good 3+ people who didn't seem to have brain/head damage, so they should have gotten up and walked away. There was also that drug addict the father found in the church and he freaked out about someone/something coming to kill him -- it sounded a lot more like people were going around to "clean up" the problem.
Also, original Walking Dead spoiler... from many seasons ago.
There was a flashback scene of Rick still in the hospital and Shane visiting. The military arrived and started killing everyone including doctors. Probably part of the same clean-up crew?

I think that's the case. When the old guy died in the hospital in the first episode they quickly got him out of there. In the second episode, the group in the yellow hazmat gear showed up to collect the guy the police shot.

The cop at the gas station with his trunk full of water... Was the hint that law enforcement and those perhaps in emergency services knew and that the truth was being kept in check to avoid public panic. That cop was bugging out of town.

I don't know about you but if any of this happened to me, the first thing I would be doing is texting/calling all of my friends and telling them what's up, whether they believe me or not.

Not buying it. You don't even have to leave these forums to know that when someone says something everyone tells them they are full of shit and 100 different ways they are wrong.
Go ahead, send a text to your friends and family telling them you just saw a dead guy come back to life...see how they respond.

Whether they buy it or not I'd still tell them. Now if you saw your neighbor just lunge at his wife across the street would you still just keep silent and say "I'll tell you later"?

The hazmat gear... the stuff looked like level 3 biohazard protection, like the stuff they were/are using for Ebola in the past year. No self-contained breathing apparatus or fully sealed suit.

I think they haven't figured out everyone is already infected. Whatever means the virus spread by is irrelevant, as people turn after they die anyway. At least, in TWD. Perhaps, it isn't airborne or they simply don't know. Or, it is just an "error" in the show.

If my daughter was in the process of trying to leave the house, yes. Once, I was able to secure her inside, I'd then tell her why. However, during the active stopping of her running out to help, I don't need to tell her shit except what is needed to stop her.
