Walking Dead: Episode 1 Season 1 recap


A man, whom we learn is officer Rich Grimes, wakes out of a coma in a hospital, where everyone is dead. He leaves the hospital and begins searching for life in the first episode of ‘The Walking Dead’.

 Rick drives past an abandoned gas station that has no gas according to the sign out front.  As he searches for his family, he pulls his car over to call to a little girl he spots along the way.  She turns to look at him and begins to come closer to him. He notices her lips are gone and he shoots her.

Then we are transported back in time through Rick’s memories to learn how this all began.  He and his friend Shane, who are both cops, are called to intercept a high-speed chase. The cops stop the criminals, who get out of the car and shoot Rick. Rick is rushed to the hospital and surgery saves his life, but he slips into a coma.
Upon waking, he climbs out of the hospital bed, and leaves the hospital by way of the loading bay. The loading bay is filled with hundreds of dead bodies piled high and covered with sheets.

He sets off on foot and meets his fist ‘Walking Dead’ person. Rick takes the bike, which is laying close by and speeds away to him home.

Of course when he reaches home, its deserted. His wife Lori and son Carl are nowhere to be found. He discovers the family photos and clothes are gone so he decides they took off to the CDC in Atlanta.
Rick sets off for Atlanta and meets Morgan and Duane a father and son duo. They fill him in on the changes, which have occurred since the world went nuts.  The trio split and Rick heads off to Atlanta to find Lori and Carl, his wife and son.

Questions:
How was Rick’s body left unbitten, while he was in a coma like state defenseless?  My guess is that in a coma state the body appears lifeless therefore it did not draw the attention of the ‘Walking Dead’ as the nurse outside his room and other staff in the corridor did.

What happened to Morgan and Duane? Did they reach Atlanta and succumb to the horde known as ‘Walking Dead”
