Sam’s soul being missing should have been kept out of the clip, and then shock us with it during the episode.



Clips should be teasers to get people interested in watching the episode, instead of giving away major plot points.

Movie trailers make the same mistake by revealing too much.

I'm not defending the remake, I'm just saying remaking the original Dawn of the Dead isn't a bad idea. The most egregious problem for me is not that it's slow to build up (I actually *like* slow, which is why I own Solaris), but that the entire first part of the movie is people arguing about something that is completely theoretical and unseen to the audience. We have no stake in it and it's hard to understand what the issue is or why they're so vehement about it unless you come into the movie already knowing everything about zombies. Which in 1978 almost nobody did.

For many of us, this was our very first exposure to zombie movies. You have to remember that Night of the Living Dead wasn't shown on TV back then and things like videotapes (we called them videocassettes) were just starting to be talked about for consumers but wouldn't be affordable for most people for quite a number of years. (I bought my first VCR in 1985; it cost $690. I bought one 10 times better in 2005, it cost $39.) So when we saw this movie back in '78, the lengthy talking-head portion at the beginning was especially mystifying and dull because we had no idea what they were talking about. The actors do a decent job arguing back and forth and it's a fairly dynamic scene, but without anything to give the argument context, it's just two blowhards shouting at each other. The film is actually full of this sort of thing, but that's a good enough example of what I consider a pretty major fault. The rule is "show, don't tell," and the first, what?, 8 or 10 minutes of the movie are all talk and no action. Halloween came out that same year and it has just as much exposition, except it's handled much more dynamically. Dawn is just lifeless (no pun intended) by comparison. Whereas Halloween builds the suspense and tension and the mystery deepens, Dawn just lays all the cards out on the table right at the outset. Since the guy arguing *against* the "just shoot 'em in the head" guy turns out to be completely wrong (Which should have been obvious to anyone who'd seen what was going on outside), the argument really becomes pointless.

The jury is still out on this season for me. I've still not seen anything that says, "Yeah, there's a reason we should keep going after the bloody Devil got sent packing."

Yay Cas is in this one.
