sterlingcomics Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I wonder if Dale and Andrea will hook up in the next episode with Andrea feeling vulnerable and all.. I suspect we will get some glimpses for sure before end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sweet zombie attack at the end. The velocity and veracity in which this scene transpired contrasted to the very slow and methodical drama element in the story. These zombies looked extra spooky at night...when I saw the shadow from Ed's tent I got shudders.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 the hick with his hand chopped off Hey why are they calling the zombies geeks ?.. Merle was his NAME-o. No idea why they are calling zombies geeks. I suspect we will hear a lot of crazy names that folks give them over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I hadn't thought about it until I read ThreeSeas' post, but the roof guy cut off his hand. I wonder if that's the same hand Rick lost in the comic. If I remember right, Kirkman regrets having Rick lose that hand. Maybe this is a sort of inside joke way to keep a lost hand in the TV show without it being Rick's? That would be an interesting perspective, for sure! I think Kirkman was going a little nuts on the character destruction during that plot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I still don't get why he cut off his hand rather than cutting the pipe ... pipe would have been far easy to cut than through hand and bone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURNTHEPRIEST-migration Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Merle sure was able to do A LOT after sawing off his own hand. Killing zombies, then heating the wound, then breaking out the window, climbing down the fire escape, getting out the city and finally taking the truck...

DomUga Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I still don't get why he cut off his hand rather than cutting the pipe ... pipe would have been far easy to cut than through hand and bone! They said in the episode that he couldn't cut the pipe cause it was too hard...I was thinking if I was in his position, why not just cut off the thumb and just slide the hand out? Or at most the thumb and the index finger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhurley Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Finally got to catch up last night and I have to say that this episode was great!! Kirkman did a great job and really took the series in the right direction. This show has the right mix of horror, human emotion and comedy and can not wait for the next episode. I do think they need to come up with one writer + director. The differences per episode are too obvious. I think that Andrew Lincoln + Steven Yeun are kick actors. Shane, Lori, and Andrea are a little over the top for me. But overall I love that many of the extra camp members became Zombie food Does Merle have a stump and will take over that role instead of Rick? I really hope they follow the comic on this. One last thing...when is the video game coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhurley Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I think the missing hand is a huge part of Rick as a survivor and a heroic icon in this story. If they over look this down the road the TV show will be doing a huge unjust to the comic. But this is all my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 A missing hand for Rick would either look fake, or require a LOT of CGI and greenscreening. They probably had Merle lose the hand instead of Rick for cost reasons as he's a guest actor and not a regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandGothic Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I really enjoyed the fourth episode on On Demand last night. Hoping they keep up with the tone now, as I didn't care for episode 2 much. The grainy HD picture is gonna make for a sucky Blu Ray transfer though(like Burn Notice). Hopefully they have a better film stock next year for higher production values in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sit back and enjoy the ride Is the CDC guy Jim Carrey's best friend from The Truman Show? Yup. Same actor. We are definitely going down a whole new road here. Seems kind of that they are planning to explain the virus on the show and it still hasn't been explained in the book. But I guess that's what happens.
