The Walking Dead: The Television Series

[Teuthida]

Enjoyed this one. Looked at the clock hoping there was more before it ended. Always a good sign.

Felt very Lostish.

[Angrist]

I liked it but also thought it didn't have enough zombies.

Shane was so easy to hate in the second episode, but now after seeing him bludgeon the wife beater something fierce and how hard he's trying to connect with Carl, I'm pretty torn on the character.

I haven't read the comic, but hopefully the "chain of command" the women referenced at the quarry isn't typically as such, because then the show will be really hard to watch for me. I strongly dislike lazies.

Also, I felt very uncomfortable during the tent scene with Rick and his Wife, expecting that she was gonna fess up and everything would go to hell...but I'm glad that didn't happen.

All in all, this show is really having an impact on my emotions while I watch it, so I'm greatly enjoying it. Didn't want the episode to end. That's probably my dreams last night consisted of kicking some zombie ass in my old apartment building.

Am I the only one who thought the brother looked like Leonardo diCaprio?

I think he is Irish. He was also in a huge cult movie called Boondock saints.

Or replace it with a chainsaw.

As long as that chainsaw is from S-Mart

Still loving it.

So, show of hands: Who would cut it off in that situation?

Not me. Cut the chain or get eaten.

[Typhoid]

I'd try cut the chain first.
But hacksaws can be pretty weak - especially if it's old - so there's a good chance you would just dull or bend all of the teeth.
If I didn't cut the chain, and zombies were literally at the door - I'd just wait it out.
If I needed to escape, I'd cut the hand off.
Surviving beats having a limb. Ask any animal that's chewed it's leg off after being caught in a trap.

[Angrist]

Pretty good episode I thought. Just a shame that that person had to die.

I was wondering: if the redneck wasn't in the comics, was the story still comparable?

[Vampyr]

Yeah, the last episode was really good, and they sort of addressed the earlier debate of limb vs chain by saying the saw was too dull to cut through the cuffs.

Although that begs another questions: Why didn't he just cut off his thumb?

Your thinking about this too hard. The point of it all was to establish Merle as a bad-ass to be reckoned with. He is the first true human enemy they will likely face, and a man willing to cut off his own hand to escape a trap is a man willing to do pretty much anything.

[Vampyr]

Hehe, yeah, I know, I'm not seriously bothered by it. If I was watching a show for realism, it wouldn't be one about zombies.

They did a really good job of that, though - making him look like a bad ass. As soon as they walked into the kitchen area with the pans and flame going, I was like "Oh man..."

[Fox 6]

Great episode.


Anyone else get initial LOST hatch vibes from the CDC guy?

[BreakABone]

I think the best episode since the pilot, some of the scenes in this ep were extremely strong.
