My wife and I were wondering the same thing, but then I was thinking, "Ya know? If I really wanted to rip into someone's stomach, I bet I could do it using all my strength."

And good afternoon sir.

Maybe I'm being a total tool, but I do subscribe to Max Brooks' description of zombies.

Basically they're not weaker or stronger than normal people, they just never get tired. If they were strong in real life, they'd be strong as a zombie.

Ok, just finished this week's episode. Can anyone explain what happened with Shane at the end? (trying to be vague for those that haven't seen it)

I wish I knew how to do spoiler text where it has to be highlighted to be read even though I think we are safe in this thread with people knowing we are gonna talk about the newest episodes. If not can a mod modify the title to include the warning of SPOILERS? Thanks

All I know about that episode is the books did that scene so much better because it leads into building certain key character aspects of Rick and Carl. This scene is so key for later in this series and I just hope next season with the Govenor makes up for some of these drastic changes. It's really hard to talk about how many different things this one scene leads to in the novels without spoiling anything for potential future story lines so I won't, even though it looks like I won't have to worry about that with how this season has gone haha.

Did we read the same book because I clearly remember Carl killing Shane in the book. And was like in chapter two. Shane has a small role in the books.

Yes but with no involvement of Rick. In the books Shane has Rick dead to rights in his scopes while they are out hunting and Carl comes upon this and shoots him dead. Yeah in the books Shane is barely a blip on the radar of the story line, except with how this effects Carl down the line. How far are you into the books?

RAGE. I want to talk about this, but don't want to spoil it for anyone.

This was easily the most intense Walking Dead I've seen since the first season. I mean DAMN.

shit is getting crazy

[BleedBurgundy]

I've since read up on the zombie rules which explains how what happened....happened. I've been into the whole zombie thing previously, so i'm out of my depth.

Alright I edited the thread title, let's get into this.

So is everyone a carrier, or has getting exposed to their blood made them infected?

From what I read, everyone is already infected, it's death that triggers the virus to make you turn into a zombie. The zombies themselves seem to carry a more potent form in their saliva that causes death and subsequently then transformation. Supposedly that is the effect of what the scientist at the CDC whispered into Rick's ear before they left.

Ahh, makes sense

So they're all f'd, more so than what we already thought lol

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't know how I feel about that. I mean it makes the whole show all about them trying to find a cure now, but basically that means that unless they do, no matter the result, everyone turns into a zombie.

[MTK]

I like it, makes their situation even more hopeless

:FIREdevil

This season sure is ending strong
