Hershel the one-legged pirate.

[I]t's off to a pretty solid start.

So tight and lean, so spare and economical in everything but gore, that we don't think we've ever seen an episode that so clearly looked the audience directly in the eyes and said "We know what we're doing here."
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
We couldn't be happier to have The Walking Dead back, and in such fine condition too.
Rolling Stone
Bex Schwartz
This season already feels so much better, because there are so many zombies and so much goop and gore and disgusting zombie-goo. Bring it the frak on, Glen Mazzara. I believe in you.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Starlee Kine
What impressed me the most about this episode is that it's clear that Glenn Mazzara and his writing staff have been paying attention to their audience.

Okay. That was badass.

"Seed" didn't betray the established tone or style -- this is still the gritty, quiet, mournful, cinematic series we've come to know over 19 episodes -- but it ramped up the action to a level beyond even last season's eventful finale.
Slant Magazine
Ted Pigeon
The Walking Dead's season-three premiere suggests that the program's showrunner, Glen Mazzara, and writing team have listened to everyone's gripes about season two's frequent and labored pontificating.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
That, fellow viewers, is how you do a freaking season premiere.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
A certain amount of blood-pumping savagery is just what The Walking Dead needed to bring itself back to life.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
"Seed" is a terrific episode, continuing the show's pattern of excellent premiere episodes.
IGN Movies
Eric Goldman
Walking Dead began this season on a very strong note, delivering a fast-paced, exciting episode that packed a ton into an hour.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
The developments in "Seed" are strong enough, that there's reason to hope. So long as everything keeps going terribly, we should be in for some fun.
Wall Street Journal
Aaron Rutkoff
None of the familiar faces are anywhere near as lethal as the first of the new characters introduced in the ultra-violent premiere of Walking Dead's third season.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
It may be too soon to say that "Seed" is the episode Walking Dead fans have been waiting for since the pilot, but it certainly offered plenty of visceral excitement and intrigue to back that notion up.
