Yeah, I was really disappointed to see that on IMDB.

On the other hand, if they regularly have little vignettes like that -- stories of people who have survived that we don't have to see again but can really enjoy -- then I'll be an even bigger fan.


Yeah, very similar. And they focused on him at least 3 different times.
Note: "series regular" means he'd appear in all 6 episodes of season 1. Season 2 has been greenlit.

SPOILER for the comic book

His character does appear again, albeit muuuuch later, and much more haunted.

having never read the comic book...

Why should we assume the flowers were brought soon after his injury? it might have been some time after?

That would justify him being more healed, when he wakes up.

If nothing else, his relative recovery is typical for hollywood injuries in the face of plot, namely, the actor recovers at the speed of plot. And its not like he was leaving with a spring in his step. Effectively, he got nursed to some better health when he was found.

What I find odd, which is common in almost all zombie movies, is that they take place in a world with no zombie movies. To me, once you realize "OMG, there's zombies", you arm up, stay quiet, and move carefully. Stay out of highly populated areas.

Great start to the series. I really enjoy the comic book and they've done a great job adapting it. Yeah some things don't make sense, but it's head and heels above most zombei horror films.

I would imagine that most people would be in a state of denial or shock during the inevitable Zombocolypse. Also, many people aren't nerds (I say that affectionately) that love zombies movies/books/Zombie Survival Guides.

Plus, fatigue, paranoia, a host of other mental health issues would likely hamper your judgment. I couldn't imagine the horror of seeing a loved one eaten alive and what affect that would have on a person.

Wow...totally off-topic.

While true, I'd say a simple majority of people (in the West, at least) are familiar with them. Even my Mom, for instance, who watches no horror- she leaves the room if I'm watching SyFy or Chiller- has some knowledge of zombies.

The main issue with zombie movies is they don't all agree. But we are seeing them shot in the head and didn't have to go through characters who died because they didn't know to do that. I'm not sure what widom one can gleem from Zombie movies except that everyone is doomed and you might as well end it on your own terms.

For the graphic novel, it focuses on the human communities that the group encounters and what humans will do to survive. The zombies almost fade into the background.

Why no ZOMBIE HORSE? :(

Because that is the most boring variant of basketball ever invented:

"baalllll"
*thwipp tang tang tang*
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhh"
*bdunkbang tang tang tang*
"grrrrrrrrrrr"
*bdunkbang tang tang tang*
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhh"

(28 days later)

*thwipp tang tang tang*
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhh"
*bdunkbang tang tang tang*
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhh"
*thwipp tang tang tang*
"HhhhhhOoooooo"
*bdunkbang tang tang tang*
"grrrrrrrrrrr...Hhhhhhhhhh"
*thwipp tang tang tang*
"HhhhhhOooooooRRrrrrr...eat Trebek.."
*tang tang tang tang tang*
"...eat Trebek...EAT TREBEK!"



What?
