These were new episodes with the S2 finale tonight. This season was broken into two halves. The first half was somewhat slow, the second half really picked up and ended well. Sounds like S3 is going to be more action packed which I will be glad to see. Character development is important, but the show has sometimes gotten bogged down in it in the past.

yeah, they said the same about Law & Order.
It is probably not the case that everybody is going to become a zombie when they die.
For scientific reality on the show: it is probably the case that the virus when it enters through a small cut or eyes,etc remains subdued or dormant in healthy human beings unless the load is high from an injury or bite wound.
Now it could be the case, that the virus can be caught from human contact through touching and door knobs and enter through rubbing the nose, scratching the eyes, in which case this is probably the waiting and dormant/subdued version. This might also be the case when killing zombies, splattering blood and inhaling those particles etc.
Some people will be immune , some will have stronger or weaker immunities to the more subdued version.
Frank Darabont was fired after the Season 2 opener came into editing and the footage was found to be utterly useless. It was supposed to set up a lot of stuff that was to come back later. With that chunk of the budget gone, the writers were forced to write cheap episodes that mostly consisted of people on the farm having the same conversations over and over. Eventually they were able to dig out of the hole they were left in and get to the good stuff again.
Also, look for T-Dog, the one black guy, to get killed off soon after they introduce Michonne next season. They cast a guy who simply cannot act but they didn't want to kill off the one black character until they brought in another one.
