New Series The Walking Dead on AMC this Fall

Why did he saw his hand off instead of the cuff-links?

 

He probably didn't have time enough to saw through the metal handcuff. Sawing through flesh and bone is faster.

 

Not everybody remembers that AMC was just like TCM.

 

Yeah, but how did the zombies get through with the padlock and chain still in tact? Were some able to squeeze through? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Nice find with that Google Earth image, Chip.

 

He wasn't exactly thinking too clearly on that rooftop, judging by the first few minutes of the episode. Man, there's crazy, and then there's Michael Rooker-crazy. Love that guy.

 

I thought the third episode was a bit slow. I hope we see some reason soon to not want to simply toss both Michael Rooker and his brother off a building and be done with part of crazy town.

 

I guess we will find out what that helicopter in ep two means.

 

At least the one guy is valuable as a hunter. I'd rather toss the deadweight wife beater than either of the redneck brothers.

 

Yeah, in that kind of world losers who can hunt and kill become more valuable than that wifebeater. Plus I imagine that life is so precious that you just can't sacrifice any living human.

 

I thought that was odd as well but I think it was to show he was so desperate BUT I wouldn't think it would be easier to saw through bone and flesh rather than the metal of a handcuff then again as someone else pointed out he wasn't thinking too clearly at the time.

I don't think the dead go through the door but he didn't know that they wouldn't unless one wiggled through and we didn't see any evidence of that.

 

Ah this is fun, here is the rock quarry where they are staying, you can even see the buildings of Atlanta in the distance like in the show. Stone mountain is off to the right.

 

I thought it was a wonderful homage to Mad Max.

[the Kid is handcuffed to a car that's about to explode]
Max: The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go.
[the hacksaw is dropped next to The Kid, and Max limps off]

Cheers, Michael

 

I'm liking this show. It's a nice mix of Lost, Pulp Fiction, with a twist of Omega Man/I Am Legend!

 

Oh.
I thought it was a wonderful homage to the 1st Saw movie.

 

What I want to know is what he used to cauterize the wound from that amputated hand to keep from bleeding to death.

 

The bigger question for me is... where did he go as there was no place to go???
Especially with one hand. There's a degree of difficulty climbing a ladder with one hand.

 

I'm guessing the helicopter from episode 2 picked him up off the roof.

 

The cuff may have been tough to saw through but that old rusty bolt would have taken just a few minutes. Maybe it was a crap blade. He obviously couldn't go down the stairs and didn't kill the zombies in there. I think the helicopter is a good option.

 

I agree, the scene with the "geek" inside the camp was horrifying.

 

In fact that's why I thought he was looking up at the end of the episode.

 

I love this show..Short season..Only 3 episodes left....

 

Heavy death toll on this episode.

I'm thinking some type of revolving cast where they lose and pick up stragglers...

 

They're running out people to kill.

 

They thinned the herd for sure. The shows have departed significantly from the books, so I feel like I don't know what is going to happen next. There are a few locations that I expect them to eventually get to (probably not until next season), but these are different characters and different stories than the source material.
