I think Daryls character has been one of the most intriguing... really wondering how they spin it when he see's Merle... he hasnt mentioned his name much since he seemed to have turned a corner to be a better all around person.

you say the fever kills you.....yeah....the fever you got from the bite. now, that hasn't truly been proved out, but even though Jim wasn't shown as a zombie, it was certainly insinuated that he was turning. the blonds sister had her throat ripped out I believe, so she woulda been dead zombie or not. herschel got his leg chopped off before the infection could spread...againg insinuating that a bite will kill you. at the end of the day.....we've yet to see a bite and a death from that bite....but it's certainly insinuated and would follow the precedent set forth by just about every zombie movie made.

Basically you get a nasty infection that will end up killing you. The reason they cut off Hershel's leg was to stop that infection before it has time to spread. Bites do not transmit the zombie virus, but they do transmit disease and infection. At least in the WD Universe. |

There is something extra in a zombie bite beyond just standard bacteria from a rotting corpse.

It's like being a carrier and having full blown zombie.

honestly I'm mucho much golly surprised that this is even something anyone would possibly disagree with!!! seriously!!! all zombie experts agree (this phrase cracks me up and I will use it often)...if you get bit by a zombie, unless the offending bitten limb is cut off IMMEDIATELY....YOU ARE ****ED! it's just abby-normal to try and argue this very basic zombie fact. GOSH! that is all.

As a "zombie expert" myself. I personally believe the exact opposite of what you guys are saying. And at the time of the bite on Hershel, did they have any medical supplies? Think of the bite from a zombie like the bite from a komodo dragon. There is so much bacteria, that the victim almost always dies from an infection. |

And yes, they had medical supplies, I believe. They were saving them for Lori's birth. They were also in a prison and knew there was an infirmary (with supplies) somewhere nearby. If it was as simple as an infection (even a super infection), I think they'd bet on finding some antibiotics and cleaning the wound rather than, literally, cutting off his leg to spite his face. Edit: I've also found out while researching this, that recent research shows that komodo dragons actually are VENOMOUS, not just toxic due to bacteria. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/news/2...th-snake-venom

It's an agree to disagree then. Since both sides don't really have any evidence short of waiting for the screenwriters to come out and blatantly say "Zombie bites kill because.....X". In any event, it's still fun speculating. |

By everyone being infected I take it as the disease is idle in a living person. Upon death the "virus" activates. Being bitten puts that "actives" virus into your bloodstream causing whatever it is to in a sense "wake up" and kill you. The fever and effects leading up to death is your immune system fighting that now active disease.

You all just look way into it. i just shut down my brain and enjoy it for what the show is a drama thriller. If i tried to think of shit in ways that its being brought up in here, i wouldnt be able to enjoy any damn thing on tv or in the movies. lol
You can catch big time errors in anything and i often do, but i just eh. The only show/tv in recent memory that shut me off by being completely ****ing stupid is when twilight first came out and the vampires sparkled in the sun. haha Once iseen that i was like **** this. Its just made for women pure and simple. anyways, it was a solid episode. i fear maggy is going to get the michonnne treatment. I wonder how far they go with the comic storyline cause it gets ****ing crazy. |

That zombie infection must be MRSA.

When did this thread start including spoilers from the comics? I thought it was the opposite before.
Or does the thread title mean spoilers from the TV show? Rather confusing (especially because another TV show Game of Thrones has one thread here with spoilers from those books and one without). |
