The episode was pretty good, buddy's wife looked more like a crackhead than a zombie, maybe she is just out on a binge and thats why he can't kill her.

28 Days Later stole its whole premise from the book "Day of the Triffids." In it, the protagonist wakes up in a hospital after having his eyes worked on. He had them bandaged during a meteor shower everyone seen and went blind from. So everyone's walking around all zombie-like in the hospital and outside because they can't see. He goes outside and London is completely empty, etc., etc., and it ends with the authour exploring how human society would react to such a catastrophe, just like 28 Days Later.
If anything, 28 Days Later should be sued for ripping off a classic sci-fi novel! The writer of 28DL even admits to being "inspired" by DotT. If they can do it, it's free game for The Walking Dead, IMO.
