OT Walking dead

Without spoiling it for everyone that dvr'd it, wow. That was awesome and next week looks great as well. I have been waiting for TWD to get moving and it certainly is now. P.s. I didn't read the books so forgive me for not knowing what was coming.

The show can go anywhere now. Looks like next week's season finale is going to be a zombie slaughter with a few good guys going down. Next season they are going to have to leave the farm. No question there are new characters coming. How does Rick keep it all together? I'm hooked big time.

It's been promised that the secret Jenner told Rick at the CDC will be revealed in the finale. My guess is that they are all carriers of the virus (he blood tested them all).

The title of the show refers to the Survivors, not just the zombies.  It's not only their physical state, but their state of mind, and future.

"The title of the series actually refers to the survivors, which should tell you who this show is really all about,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president.

Excusing the double-post from above, I think you're on to something Sentrik. My final thought is that the virus MUST be present in all living hosts, but remains dormant until death when the conditions are right for it's effects to take place.

If the virus is airborn and you can turn into a walker by just dying. Does this mean if Lori has a miscarriage that we're going to see a zombie fetus eating her from the inside out? Sigourney Weaver in aliens style?

If it is a blood virus then I don't think it would be passed onto the child until it was born.  AIDS is not easily passed from mother to child during pregnancy so I don't see a reason for the zombie virus to.

 

What would be interesting is that if the virus is airborne what happens when an infant catches the virus.  Can an infants immune system fight off the virus, will it die, or something in between? Food for thought.

*SPOILER*

 

Why does Shane go into zombie mode in like... 5 minutes but the two guys killed in the bar never did? Come to think of it, Rick may have put another in the head of the fat shotgun guy but I don't think he did the one behind the bar.

Supposedly everyone is infected with the virus its already in your blood (supposedly this is the secret the scientist at the CDC told Rick)......you just have to die to become a walker.....unless you are killed by head force trauma.

Also, what's with the Korean pizza boy? You're living day-by-day in a Zombie Apocalypse, and the hot farmer's daughter asks you to move into her bedroom, and you say NO???

In Night of the Living Dead ALL the dead came back to life.  So this is indeed a classic story line.  Although zombies bite, that is not how it is spread.
