So is that the consensus, he hacked the hand off??

That makes no sense, why would he do that??

I could probably have broken that threaded rod with my man Smurf strength.

Show seems unbelievably stupid, even though I've yet to see it.

At least I'm a strong Smurf, they call me Diesel Smurf.

It is almost a mid-late 1950's early 60's retro kind of stupid

One dimensional characters, overt behaviors that are way overplayed

much more plausible if they had set it to have occurred in the 1950's

Now that you mention it, the show would be better set in the 1950s.....

Right off the bat I was annoyed.

When the main char told the rookie cop to make sure there was a round in the chamber and the safety off, the rookie cop chamberd a round from the clearly emtpy magazine and then swept his thumb where there WOULD be a manual safety, except his gun didnt have one (glock). They even added the sound effects of a "safety click"

annoying at the detail level, safety click on the Glock was bad

I saw that.  But, the movie was released in the UK about a year and a half before it was released in the US.  So, the timeline would go: 28 Days Later released in UK, The Walking Dead published, 28 Days later released in the US.

Overall, meh.  Not a real big deal for me to begin with, and even less of a deal to me now that the plot line has veered pretty far away from that.  It would be annoying if the series continued to rely on dropped-in-the-middle-of-the-zombiepocalyse as a device - I am glad they haven't

Frank Darabont talks a lot about how George Romero is the inspiration for the look and feel of the show - interview here

New episode on tonight, It was pretty bad ass....

Shit finally hit the fan.

Finally being the key word....

I just don't get it

Why would that dumb make the beast with two backser saw off his hand and not the chain or the tiny pipe??

It just doesn't make sense.

entirely irrelevant

point is he's a bad guy, not why he's a bad guy

Don't care if the deathstar was built of toothpicks as long as it's clearly evil

he wasn't bad

just dumb as a brick.

they claim in the vatos episode the saw was too dull to do the pipe but the chain is tiny on those old style police cuffs.

Not to mention the fact he was all sunstroked and completely caca for cukoo puffs.

I only watched the pilot, but have the comics. The character dev comes later. Rather than spell it out, it comes through conflicts. Of course, by ep 3 you might already be seeing that.

I'm still not 100% on who was affected by the "event" right at the end of the episode.

I think that the lack of clarity is intentional after seeing next weeks preview.
