Everyone is infected. They went over this last season, and then again this episode when Lori was talking to Herschel about her concerns over her infected baby.

Her point about the unborn child being infected... What if it is developed enough and then dies in the womb. Does it reanimate and tear her apart from the inside out? How phenomenal would that be?!?!

I freaking love this damn show and am glad its back on again. There must be a lot of people here who have never enjoyed tv and movies. I watch entertainment to be entertained, not nitpick at every little thing, its a zombie tv show for crying out loud.

I hate this stupid argument. Because it's a zombie concept, it doesn't have to make any sense? So the show can have stupid plot devices, illogical character decisions, and arbitrary outcomes because zombies are fiction to begin with?

Why stop there? The show should have rainbow unicorns and flying donuts. You can't complain, it's a zombie TV show.

I have little problem with the show, I enjoy it. But I don't blame those nitpickers.

So............. it's been confirmed everyone's already infected and you just reanimate after any kind of death regardless of an actual zombie contact.

Then why did Rick chop off Hershel's leg? It's just a bite. He's already infected to begin with.

It was probably to show that Rick will do anything to keep the group safe without hesitation.

Because a bite will speed up the process of you dying. You will also develop the fever and nightmares and will die very soon. What Rick did was stop the poison (that gives you the death fever) the zombie injected from spreading to his whole body and shut down his brain for re-animation.

Exactly.... It seems the bites spread some type of virus in the bite.

Why are you so smug? I don't remember seeing that explained anywhere in the episode. In fact did they even give that black woman a name? She has like 3 lines the entire episode.

And where did they find actors with no arms, or is that just CGI? looks cool.

They don't have to say it in the show...this thing is based off of a Comic book. Only takes a little bit of Googling to find out her name is Michonne, the two Zombies are her Boyfriend and his friend, etc.

Im not smug, just replying to nonsense racism allegations about the "Slave" zombies. They aren't actually slaves, she cut their arms and bottom jaws off because they keep trying to attack her. After walking around with her for a while, they stopped and other zombies won't attack because shes with them.

Its pretty cool, I didn't know they wear the green sleeve for that..

I was was wondering how they do the amputee in the movies.. i thought they digitally edit that out but it was all these green sleeve stuff

Kind of funny story, but several years ago my Army unit went to a major training event. My medics were sent to a training area that simulated a vehicle borne bomb explosion in an open air market.

They were walking through the area, the simulated bomb went off (it used Hollywood type special effects actually), and they started to triage. Several of the "actors" were strewn around the area with profuse bleeding from amputations, etc.

One of my medics started working on one person and kind of thought that the lower leg amputee had just tucked their leg underneath their body and had a prosthetic amputation attached. That was partially true, the "actor" was a real amputee who lost his leg in Iraq and got paid to inject realism into the scenario. She said she kind of freaked out for a moment when she grabbed the "stump" and realized that it was a real amputee, albeit not from the "exercise".

I thought she was using them to carry her stuff.

Probably because not everyone wants it spoiled by reading the comics or Googling it. Quit being a douche about it. And stop posting spoilers from the comic, that was established in the previous thread about the show. It's obvious most people want to enjoy the show on its own as a separate entity from the comic. People will find out the lady's name and also who the two zombies are that she has with her when the show decides to delve deeper into that plot point.

I usually watch stuff to be entertained and not to nitpick, but.......

If, to your knowledge at the time, there is only ONE doctor left in the world, and you are having a baby that you do not know the outcome, but KNOW that you need a doctor, why would you send the doctor (who is also an old man) into the tunnels at all? Seems like he should have been left behind for the safety of everyone and future needs.

It also does seem like one could have opened up some doors, backed off to a choke point, made a ton of noise, and killed plenty of zombies to minimize the risk......

The bite from a zombie gets your sick and you die. Everyone that dies comes back as a zombie because everyone is already infected.

By cutting off Herschel's leg, they hope to prevent the infection that kills him thus preventing him from becoming a zombie until he dies of natural causes.

This.

I kept telling my wife that as the show went on... pull them back to the fence or a cell door and stab them in the face.

Hershel is a Veterinarian not a MD.

Something about the bites cause massive infection and then death. Maybe like being bitten by a komodo dragon.

Uh...They said what the chicks name was on "The Talking Dead" right after the show.

If people don't want to see spoilers...they shouldn't be reading this thread.


Saying what her name was and who the zombies are AREN'T spoilers anyway. Its common knowledge. Her name has been said over and over by the show's cast and producers before Season 3 even aired.

Not being able to Google or know the reference material for the show is not my problem.
