I feel like it's only two. I know the parents were on the ramp when the one guy was shot to death, but unless I'm missing another one, that wasn't really an "interaction". Just happened to be on the same roadway. And the other two were the OD in the church in the opening scene and then the dude near the reservoir. I thought the implication was that Nick is carrying a disease that is ultra-contagious. Seeing as how he was around a couple of people who then died shortly thereafter, it seems like that makes sense that HE would be around the zombies right at the outset of everything.
All I know is they got through 90 minutes without some character making a really stupid mistake just to keep things moving.
It's the first episode. Give it time. Thems writers in this showe are idiuts
Sloppy, sloppy observation on his part.
The kid that brought the knife to school said there had been reports in 5 states. Doubt Nick has anything that no one else has. I imagine Gloria died of an overdose maybe downstairs, or those guys snatched her. Either way she zombies up and bites the guys throat out. Other guy stabs her through the chest with what looked like rebar. She doesn't drop and kills him and starts face munching. Then Nick wakes up and wanders.
I like that part. It makes complete sense to me that people would dismiss stuff like the police shoot-out as fakes, as opposed to immediately jumping to OMG ZOMBEES!!1!!
LOL, this thread picked up right where the last one left off. People complaining about the kid suddenly having shoes and didn't even notice he had grandpa clothes on instead of his barely on white shirt (almost looked like a girl's sweater). Seriously, if you are going to complain, at least watch the show. When you hear a complaint like that (we had tons of bad complaints in the other thread), you realize people really do watch the show to try and nitpick.
Agreed. The whole point is that it isn't a pandemic, i.e. 90% of the world dies and comes back and 10% immune have to fight off the herd. The "flu" infects everyone very rapidly, but until they die they do not turn. That means people have to actually die of some other reason to get this started. That right there makes it a slow start and not like 28 days later or I Am Legend where the "flu" is what turns people. We know this works differently, so until you start to get a mass scale of zombies, it will start slower.
Unless these are way more laid back zombies, there's no way it wouldn't make its way en masse to the internet in 2 hours. People eating other people isn't something you hide, the bath salts line can only go so far.
Die or get bitten. Or are you saying that the ones bitten don't turn because they don't have the latent virus inside their body yet?
Not saying Nick is the only one to have it, just that he's patient zero in how it gets spread around LA IMO. Maybe there was something in the drugs. He picked up the disease, but is still alive and now a carrier. Gloria picked up the disease and presumably OD'd, so when she died she turned to a zombie. Now anybody Nick is around gets infected by him, but until they die they won't show symptoms (like the hospital dude and the drug dealer). But after they die, even though they weren't bit or scratched or had any contact with a "walker", just having had contact with Nick put the disease into them. So when they die, they zombify.
No, I think we have to go with the current TWD lore that biting transmits enough goo that you die and you also get infected with whatever the goo is that also invades the dead bodies brain and makes you turn. I think if someone got shot in Houston and it wasn't transmitted there yet that they would be normal dead and not turn. I don't think everyone is infected yet. I think that is spreading as we watch while zombie bites will have the same affect. That is why the old guy who died next to drugee will likely turn and why I think the girl drugee died of an OD and turned. She clearly wasn't bit, so I am thinking she OD'd and our boy Nick is spreading the everyone has it right now.
Agreed, but I wouldn't call him patient zero. He is one of many patient zeros, like the guy in the police shoot out. We won't ever find out where it came from, but Nick was around his girl and she clearly caught it and OD'd. She then bit those other people and unless she ate the kid, he and the guy in the doorway came back as well.
If that's the case then it definitely couldn't be hidden. There would have to be a ton of cases where cops, doctors, EMTs were bitten and then they turn. Can't hide something like that.
