I think we are an episode or two away from figuring out alot about the finer points of the infection. No bites on the walkers at the police station...Rick mentioning that the winter weather might slow down/kill the walkers because of their warm temperatures...Shane cutting himself with the zombie knife (if the writers thought of that).

I know we have a ton of critics but I still love this show. I just sit back and enjoy the show...yes I care about the plot but I don't go Ebert in-depth on everything that happens. Some of the characters piss me off (Lauri for starters, Dale, and the whole women at the house thing does not interest me)...but as a whole, I still enjoy the storyline and this half of the season has been lightyears better than the first half.

So now the little fucker they did everything to save acts like he thinks he's growed up, goes stupid and ends up gets Dale killed before crying to mommy. Perfect. I had such high hopes for this show as recently as 3 episodes ago, but short of Shane fucking the blonde doggie style on top of a pile of dead walkers, pulling out a John Cena "You can't see me" and then capping the rest of the group before eating Rick's pancreas with a jar of hot sauce, I can't see it getting any more ridiculous than it already is.

I love Carl throwing rocks at the zombie...if there aren't ducks on the farm pond, you gotta use zombies. And Dale dying...if the Bucks didn't just beat Sparty at the last second, that would have made my day.

I know, I know...if you keep picking at it then it will never heal...but, I'm picking anyway: does everyone find it plausible that, even with zombie fingernails, you could do that kind of damage to someone just by clawing at them? At least, could you do it that quickly?

Noticed in the Talking Dead notes tonight that the original script had Dale finding, not a cow, but another cast member laying in the field all munched on. I kinda feel ripped off by that one. Reminds me of the time my parents told me "Guess what? We almost bought you a horse!"

Interesting question raised on The Talking Dead show--since Shane stabbed a zombie with his knife, then later cut his hand with the same knife again--does that mean he's infected?

Of course, this presupposes there is anyone awake at the wheel of TWD who's paying attention to little things like continuity and logical consistency, so, never mind, I'm sure Shane's fine and will survive for many, many more episodes making adorable monkey faces for our amusement.

While this isn't really relevant in the discussion because the show gave up on the comic long ago, I will bring this up.

In the comic, everyone has the disease, when you die, you become a walker, the bite/scratch doesn't turn you, it poisons you and kills you. So in the comic, people start losing limbs as they hack them off to keep the infection from spreading.

However, the show's gone so far off the comic, I have no fucking clue what to think, I am waiting for someone to have a love affair with a walker and start talking about how they are still human inside.

They probably decided against the limb-hacking because that would have been a huge pain to recreate week-to-week with live actors--all the people hopping around on one leg, arms strapped out of sight, etc.

As for love affairs, guess Herschel came about as close to that as they're going to get.

Come to think of it, though, "Everybody has the disease dormant in their system" would be a good answer to the question of what the CDC doctor whispered to Rick. Not sure if Rick has acted like that's what he was told since then. hmmm.
