What's new

The Walking Dead

What causes someone to turn to a zombie? Is it by zombie blood? When Rick and Shane cut their hands on purpose to distracted the zombies, wouldn't that make it a lot easier to get infected?


eerybody is already infected you just have to die then you turn in a zombie
when a zombie bites you you jut die of an infection/fever
 
Gojazz79, congratulations for your 2000th post, my friend. Man, you're such a high volume poster, I like reading your posts but can't read them all, you literally write faster than I read them. :)

Thanks MK, I didn't even realise that was my 2,000th post. What can I say? I get bored at work and soemthing has to keep me occupied.

As for the plumbing ont he farm I think it is all based of of wells and nothing from the city. I base that off the walker the split in half in that well.

As for the ammo gripe I had several posts back I agree with who ever just mentioned that. Rick talking about those things (using knives to conserve ammo, hoarding canned food, finding snowmobiles for the winter, zombies possible slowing down or freezing...) to Shane at least address that side of their new life if only for a moment.

Lol, I was thinking about all the people complaining on the forum about the small details when he said that.

Well to me it seems that the show is trying to focus on the reality of it. How people cope and get by. I think foraging, hoarding, building defenses...would a huge part of that. That is something that is just not shown and detracts from what I think they are trying to do. Also just unrealistic.

Any building I went in I would take anything usuable. Examples. All the meds from that pharmacy and not just the morning after pills, and all the booze from the bar.

I think it was just trying to show Rick attempting to prove to Shane he was capable of being a leader of the group.

You are right that is exactly what that scene is about. The show though, at least in my opinion, is trying to show how they think people would really react. If I was on that farm I'd be stock pilling anything and everything, securing the farm against people and walkers and recruiting more people to my group. Send Dale and Glen out on "recruiting trips" while Andrea and Dale gather supplies (gas, guns, seeds, food, medicine, clothes, tools...). Put Rick, Shane, TDog, Lori, Herschel and all the rest to work on divising ways of quickly securing all the windows on the house, reinforcing the barn, building fences...

That's all fine and dandy but they need to find a better safe house than a farm. I'd hate to waste all that effort when it's not that strong of a place to defend. Zombies are stupid and easy to kill so the farm is fine for that reason. But if you run into other humans it's a bad place to be.

Oh I agree. I just used the farm as an example because they are there.

Id go for a prison, wharehouse or military instilation.

so how do the ladies do on that time of the month? use old clothes? tampons? or just let it flow free?

we dont need to get in certain details. for all we know 6 billion people are zobies now. I could live of 2-3 years of what is in the store on the other side of the street. if i want more i could go to their central distribution center. if i want even more i could go to the docks and start opening shipping containers.
