Not really. If you get it by fluid transmission it could kill living flesh then zombify, there could be an airborne aspect that only affects dead flesh as long as the brain is intact.

But that isn't explained at the CDC.

I remeber the doc whispering something to Rick just before they bail out, but who knows what it was. Just assumed he was telling him Laurie was pregnant. Don't recall him saying we are all infected and will turn into zombies when we die or anything. It could be transmission related, airborne vs ingested, vs body fluid contact with an open wound. As an example symptoms of anthrax are vastly different if it's airbourne vs ingested vs skin contact. We'll have to wait and see.

That guy obviously didnt have all his faculties at his disposal.

So? He was eccentric.

No, literally, he didn't have all the faculties at his disposal. The place was on some kind of automatic quarantine lockdown so he didn't have access to..



..yeah, okay, he'd lost all hope and maybe his marbles too.



I suspect there's a difference between the airborne version of the virus that I think everyone is infected with and the kind of rapidly lethal sespsis that people die from by getting bitten or severely clawed by a zombie. Also, someone else pointed out that when Rick was trying to show Shane to bait the chain link fence with his own blood, that Shane used his knofe on a zombie, then sliced himself to bait the door of the school/prison bus without being noticeably affected so I kind of think that if you die from any means short of heavy head trauma in the first place that you're going to rise and that zombie contact itself isn't enough but the sepsis can be deadly in and of itself.

I wondered about that scene you just mentioned at the time. I was like uhhh...isnt he going to become a zombie now?

 

[whiteevo]

i'm as guilty of over thinking this stuff as anyone, all i'm hoping for is a lot of killing in the finale. kinda pissed i'll have to wait til monday night to watch it due to driving home from the hawks game.

From the looks of the previews last sunday night it is going to be a zombie apocolypse blast, hack and slash fest.

I know! but it's kind of anti-climactic for me now because the characters I wanted to see die; Dale, Shane and that ####### Randy kid, just bought the farm (not Herschel's farm, somebody else's) big time in the last two episodes. It's like when you've gorged yourself on a holiday meal and you're sitting there, dumb and happy with a stuffed belly and then someone brings out the desert and all you can do is be happy for everyone else because you just can't eat another bite.

You know the guy That plays Shane Kinda resembles default Shepard if they ever make a Mass Effect movie.

Face is too long, nose isn't right. It is a stretch but I can see where you are seeing it.



Actually I think Daniel Craig if you dyed his hair would be pretty close

 

[Bringmepie]

I think I'm in love.

Okay Walking Dead Spoilers in this post you've been warned.



The ending...Wow. Just awesome, looks like season 3 is the prison. That was a great ending, but they teased me with killing the annoying Blonde.



So here is my spoiler, for those that read the series, who is the hooded figure? if you dont want to post it in here PM me

 

[winos5]

Shane was a pussy compared to Rick. Awesome ending to the season. I can't wait for the fall shows to start up.

[winos5]

No and who is Michon? I found the talking dead to be boring so I dont watch it

False... I believe the actor's name is David Morissey.



GREAT finale.

 

[winos5]

Really? It's the comic book store show they've been airing afterwards that I can't stand. Besides the fact that it seems staged, I know they don't keep the cameras rolling 24/7 on these guys but just the fact that they seem to at least have something interesting to make an ongoing show about. Whenever I'm in the local nerd emporium it's usually a variation of this story: kid goes off to college and mom comes in with a box of his/her from the mid nineties on thinking the manager is going to wet himself over the secret stash. Instead he advises the mom to double check if the grown kid reeeeeally wants to be rid of it because if he isn't, it's not worth the grief, and then he tells the mom if everything is okay to place out an ad for the stuff on Craigslist.
