Good that they're going with different writers. Now if they'd only kill off this whole ensemble of actors and start over there too!

how? as far as I know the only way to become a zombie is to be bitten by one. that's the only way we've seen it happen.

Didn't this whole thing start with a virus/illness that killed most of the world and/or turned them into zombies?

One thing no one seems to be considering is whether or not the initial zombie disease outbreak was initiated solely by infected zombies biting or scratching the uninfected. The CDC guy said that it had been 60 days since the disease "abruptly went global." It seems unlikely that a disease could quickly spread around the globe by zombies biting the uninfected; perhaps the initial infection was transmitted through the air and it killed some or most people and didn't effect others. That would explain both why Jenner is the only one left at the CDC and why civilization got overrun so quickly.

I can imagine a situation where between looters, criminals and then zombies.. the military just saying **** it, every man for himself (which didn't end well).

It could have been an airborne toxin that wiped out almost everyone and turned many into zombies, leaving alive only a small % of the human race that for some genetic reason had the metabolism or DNA to be immune to the toxin. But then some of those people got bit and became zombies anyway.

A lot of things bother me about this show but the premise isn't one of them.

Me neither. Lot of zombies, some survivors, I'm down with it.

I just like talking about zombie scenarios.

Yeah, obviously there has to be something that creates the initial batch of zombies. If it's an initial airborne or radiaion thing that can infect alot of people intially, then things can legitly go to hell, as people who are being smart in how they deal with them can still become one without contact with one.

I've read through the comic books, and I sincerely hope they never ever put that part in the show.

the firing of all the staff isnt as good news as i first thought...

but because it seems like he didn’t really use his staff in the first place: Deadline reports that on the four of six episodes he didn’t write all by himself, Frank Darabont still felt that the Frank Darabont draft was better, co-writing or even totally rewriting them all.

And since two of those non-Frank Darabont four were written by non-staff members—comic creator Robert Kirkman and The Shield producer Glen Mazzara—Darabont is considering adopting a freelance model for next season
It seems more like Darabont is ****ing everything up all by himself. So the 2nd season will be more of the same.

Hmm, if that's the case I'm curious to see how much they follow the comic books (ie I hope not 100%). Would be hilarious to see her show up with her pets...

And also HE will have less effectiveness against zombies as you need a head shot to kill them. So fragmentation body wounds do nothing, and then you will have lots of zombies crawling around with no legs/arms etc etc, that all need to be put down by bullets. Grenades will be not that great against zombies.

That said a decently equipped base in a non urban area should easily cope with local zombies. The interesting thing is the supply chain. Is the ammo kept near to where the guns and personal are needed to shoot them.

There is no reason to assume it is, as it is logistically more sensible to have ammo dumps in locations that can serve several bases.

The problem the army will have with a zombie outbreak is the fact that there is no front, the enemy is everywhere and the supply chain to put down a large infected urban area will be substantial. I doubt a large % of the army is staying put in its bases.
level?



Plus in a situation like this all bets are off, why wouldn't they nuke an entire city?

they let her walk among zombies without getting attacked. kind of like when they all covered themselves with zombie gore, only not nearly as gross.

also she may have some sentimental attachment to them because they were her best friend and boyfriend before they became zombies.
