Just a minor nitpick...Considering how all these amateurs are crack shots and the zombies go down with one to the head, how does a presumably heavily fortified base get overrun? Unless they ran out of ammo, but then there would be A LOT more bodies. The cop said the CDC would be a "last stand" protected at all costs and that "war zone" was underwhelming to say the least. But would seem like maybe they tried to contain it in the city (and elsewhere) and probably were so quickly overrun that they never had time to fall back to such a fail safe. The cop and the man from the first show decided to head to ATL where there was supposed to be a stronghold, and obviously that never materialized.
Seriously, a couple of good snipers on secure roof tops with plenty of ammo could probably take out 500 each per day.
Anyway, as far as "suspension of disbelief" goes, this isn't too bad. My guess is the virus, whatever the source, spread so quickly that the military wasn't able to organize quick enough. Then again, the hospital with that room marked "don't open" or whatever would suggest this took at least a few days, so there should have been adequate time to respond. Unless it was such pandemonium that most troops didn't respond choosing to stay and protect their families.
If they're able to hole up in the CDC for a while, they could get some mileage out of this series with the people running "missions" to advance the medical research. Would be somewhat of a spin on "V" only with zombies instead of alieans. Maybe the virus will mutate and the zombies will become more aware and organized. Good show, but I say by the end of 13 episodes next season it will have run its course.
