Sunday night marked the premiere of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and it came with a major comic book moment finally getting brought to life on-screen.In the original Walking Dead comic books, Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes character gets his hand chopped off by the Governor (played in the show by David Morrissey) fairly early into the story. The TV series adaptation came with many significant changes from the comics, however, and among them was Rick keeping his hand. With the character’s return in The Ones Who Live, Rick finally lost his hand in the live-action TWD universe, though it needed to be done in a different way, given how the Governor has long been dead.“I’ve been banging on about this for years… I’ve been trying to get my hand chopped off!” Lincoln told THR. “This is more than just a nod. It’s honoring the story. It’s what Kirkman did. It’s the nature of the world that we’re inhabiting in this. These people are not superheroes. They are people in extreme situations, doing horrendous things — sometimes brilliant but sometimes horrific things — in order to stay alive and keep those around them alive. So I was very keen to do this, and to hopefully have a very shocking first act that makes people sit back and think, ‘Oh, we’re in for a bit of a ride here. This is different. There’s real jeopardy here.’”
