The guys in the bar wouldn't turn because they were healthy, then died. Or shooting in the brain before going zombie would work I suppose.Andrea's sister had her immune system compromised from the bite, losing blood. The mechanic guy was bitten but then was exhausting himself by digging all those graves in the heat.
hmm, so definitely an advantage to killing healthy people? if Carl would have died from the gun shot, you think he would have died? and i also have to think if Rick was in a coma and in bad shape in a hospital, wouldn't it make sense that he would have turned? i think if this theory sticks, Rick would have had to go zombie because his body was certainly in bad shape while still recovering for 2 months, or whatever it was
Maybe anitbiotics saved Carl and coma saved Rick? This theory is on thin ice.
good 2nd point there, not sure how they can explain that one. and i wonder why the CDC guy, and then Rick himself, would make this such a secret if this is what he told him and the theory about the zombies? wouldn't it help out Herschel and his family figure out about his wife, etc.? What about when the group spends days searching for Sophia, shouldn't Rick have factored in what the CDC guy said to help come to a conclusion?there will be some explaining to do if this is it. and i think i remember them saying we find out what the CDC guy said this season
I think the 2nd point is easy to explain. Zombies need to have a fully intact brain to live, i.e. even though the brainstem is where most of the activity is, it doesn't mean they can survive with a damaged brain. The reason why the CDC guy mentions that most of the activity is in the brain stem because that area is responsible for the basic vital life functions.Think of it as people that turn into vegetables, their brain stem keeps them alive even though they have little or no other brain functions. These people may have asphyxiated or had a stroke or other things, but if you were to go in and shoot them with a gun in the head, their brain stem would no longer keep them alive. With zombies, the "virus" not only keeps them alive, it makes the body get up and do what we see in the movies.
Two words....Nano bots. They came from The Governor.
Didn't his suicide note say something about being bit?
IIRC..."he got bit....fever then hit."
Yes.I see no proof that a healthy person dying will make them a zombie. If you remember Carl taking that knife set from the guy in the truck, he was just dead. Not a zombie.
Hmmm, I think you are correct and I sort of remember that, so ignore what I said.
wondering the same myself
Magic Johnson wasn't in them?I don't remember any of that in the comics.
I ####### knew it!Magic Johnson wasn't in them?Magic Johnson is the Governor
Why not let the kid become part of their group? From the actions of the guys in the bar I suspect his group sucks. Maybe he did not like his group and is looking for a way out of it. Ask Maggie if he really went to school with her and what she thinks of his character. I would think another guy defending the group would be good.
True, but based on that person's decomposition, is it possible they died before being infected? I am assuming with all of the zombie contact that the thought is that you are infected with any zombie contact. Based on the truck's condition, that guy died before zombie contact. Not enntirely sure though as that does make things a little harder to explain. The only thought is that the CDC guys tested everyone's blood at that point, i.e. this virus or whatever wasn't just inately part of humans otherwise everyone who died with no brain trauma would have been a zombie. Has to be a certain bit of contact somehow with the initial virus and probably at this point everyone has had some sort of contact.I definitely think that with the scene from this week with the "scratches" that they were strongly hinting that Shane saw no reason for those guys to be zombified and Rick (the only one told by the CDC guy) was almost making up how they turned. Just my opinion though, have never read any comics, but it sure seems plausible.
After he broke the window. He was looking at his reflection in the glass, and looked like a zombie.
After Shane threw the wrench he looked at his reflection in the broken glass and looked like a mindless zombie, symbolism. Shane was as bad as the zombies.
cant stand lori. she did get called out by andrea in the argument and lori just acts like shes the female version of rick. its pretty annoying we only need 1 rick on the show'SacramentoBob said:

Yeah...I'm kind of not getting that either. Plus....that group had people from Philly in it. Why in the hell would a Southern guy want to have anything to do with Philly people?
ontop of that. at first their intentions were to leave his hands/legs tied as well. whats the point in wasting the gas'slayer666 said:'tdoss said:I thought this was the worst episode of the season. Why drive the kid with the bad wheel 18 miles into town and dump him off. Just deadline his ###, it would have been the more humane thing to do. I was feeling pretty good about the show after the second episode, but last night was a total buzz kill for me.
They left him the knife to cut himself free. They just wanted time to get away before he did it. I agree though that 18 miles was a bit much since they were pushing the remaining gas and they could have broken down. Why possibly strand yourself so far away.ontop of that. at first their intentions were to leave his hands/legs tied as well. whats the point in wasting the gas'slayer666 said:'tdoss said:

Charles Barkley is a hint.
Doing what he did was clearing his conscience. I'm sure he knew that he was serving that kid a death sentence. He could rationalize it though....so in his mind he'd be free of the consequences.Rick trying to 'do the right thing' despite it not making any sense.

But how did these guys die in the first place then?
The writers are letting you know that this show is 10 better than 8 Mile.

If only there was a way that you could post potential spoiler information, while giving others the choice of clicking on it, or not. (sigh)

One interesting fact: Fuel really only lasts a few months sitting in tanks before it starts to destabilize and "go bad". 2-3 months after the apocalypse cars would be running like ####. after 4-5 months most cars would never run again (obviously these guys aren't going to be refining any gas). Fuel stabilizer really wouldn't work for this case due to the quantity needed and the fact that it only prevents deterioration, doesn't bring gas back from going bad. ZOMBIE GAS!
Good to know.Somehow I doubt they'll adhere to this on the show.
18 is the legal drinking age in most states and the youngest someone can be drafted into the military - this means that the zombie virus really started 18 years ago and it just now maturing.It all makes sense.
I think Magic Johnson gave them the AIDS.
good thing they saved those adrenaline shotsTANK!!!!!!!If a jockey or smoker showed up about then, followed by a boomer . . . man, oh, man would there be some serious problemas.Rick was out of ammo (remember he used up making the zombie sandwich) and he went back to the cops because they had bullets to scavenge.'KGB said:That's how i saw it. I thought the fight was well done too.'Daywalker said:Are you saying he decided to save Shane after being reminded of their past when he saw the dead cop bodies?great episodeI like how Rick looked at the two zombies in cop uniforms and it reminded him of himself and his partner and he saved him
Lost?
