In season one, the Walkers were far more humanized and intelligent than in the rest of the seasons. The Bunny Slipper girl picking up the stuffed animal, the Walker at the mall using a rock to break the glass door, the purple shirt walker just staring at Rick, deciding to not join the frenzied hoard. I really loved that aspect of them and it's a shame that it didn't continue.

I believe early zombies had some type of memories left
Look at Morgan’s wife trying to go home

I always thought it was creepy how the walker just stares at Rick getting into the tank instead of joining the rest of the walkers feasting on the horses corpse.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who’s thought “what’s with that guy?”

[yslchristian]

They shoulda brought that guy back as the original whisperer

[landongunn]

This Walker was even in the comics. When Glenn saves Rick and they are on the fire escape, you can see him in a group of walkers.

Always wondered about that walker. He was sitting on the bus, then gets up and walks around a bit. Then we see him at the tank staring at Rick. He was so ominous and creepy. Like to know more about the walkers backstory. Looks like an office worker that didnt make it out of the city and either got bit or the napalm got him. Such an amazing season, short but amazing. Thanks James

They completely fucked this show when they fired Frank Darabont. He had so many awesome and intriguing ideas/plans for future episodes and they didn't even let him direct more than one season. Damn shame.

[phenics]

I think that walker was some sort of special variant, just like Morgan's wife they both acted like they were still partially human. I feel like some walkers early on still retained some of their human self, so maybe that's why this one was just watching Rick.

Got on the bus from familiar memories when he was a living person who use to catch the bus. Like the little girl who picked up the doll or Morgan's wife who came to the front door and tried to turn the door knob.

[asherschartel]

Tbh I think this was the most interesting walker of the first season

[Avigdor]

I could’ve sworn when The Walking Dead started they said they’d pick a fan to become a walker every so often and that when the camera inexplicably focuses on a random walker, that’s the fan walker. So that has always been my explanation

[matteoclementi]

Frank was so genius...
Lot of things from season 1 are still so mysterious

[mrsdixon]

Man the show would of been very different if they stuck with Frank I love Angela Kangs work, Just think they did him dirty.

[gametvon]

Season 1 walker are the best creepy and smart

[thehorrorcounselors]

That zombie always freaked me the f out...Same with Morgan’s wife...There’s something so much more unnerving about a Walker with a slight intelligence rather than a straight up Walker

[timheath]

the walkers of season 1 are truly the most memorable and more horrifying then any of the seasons, and I think its because they were the most humanistic. When I look at them from S1, I see zombies that still resembled the people they once were, which made it all the more horrific for some reason. When I look at all of the decayed and rotten fleshed zombies of the later seasons, they not only do not resemble people anymore, but because of this they dont even seem to be realistic. S1 definitely captured the mystery and the horror the greatest, while later season zombies just seem to be rotten flesh sacks.

[terenceheesch]

...one of the future TWD series should be called "The Walking Dead - Origins"...and just be a series about the most iconic zombies and their brief lives before the apocalypse...like what they did with "Bike Girl"...

[tavinjackson]

I thought it would be cool for this guy to turn up periodically before every major event that happened within the show. I always thought that would've been so cool and mysterious. They could've used this guy as a sign or something to stimulate the dramatic irony within the show.

I thought he was Jim Carrey at the beginning of the series when I discovered twd then it was later on confirmed that it wasn’t him after all, damn it
