The Walking Dead: 10 Greatest Rick Grimes Moments

10. The Beginning - Days Gone Bye

The first episode of The Walking Dead is, almost entirely, a spotlight of Rick Grimes. In it we got a glimpse of the iron will that would come to define the character for the next nine seasons.

Days Gone Bye is one of the best and most re-watchable pilot episodes of any television show. Rick's isolated journey through the new, confusing, and horrifying world, is incredible. Most normal men would crumble under the fear and pressure of the new circumstances he finds himself in, however Rick's desire to find his family spurs him to leave his hometown and head into the swarming Atlanta cityscape.

Not only is this an iconic episode of TV, it's also a wonderful showcase of who Rick Grimes is, the grit he possesses, and the man he will become.
