What are you even talking about? Beth shoved a pair of nail clippers into the neck of that lady cop character who was introduced like three episodes ago in order to save the black kid who was introduced like two episodes ago. Talk about EPIC!

i was really looking forward to beth and carol tearing that place apart from within, so the way they went with it was quite a letdown

It is definitely only worth it if Noah does something important. That limp will probably make him a liability though.

He has until Feb to get rid of that limp. He should be fine.

it didnt have to be a trade

they could have just said. eff you, dawn. then ask everyone else if they really want to get killed over her slave?

the other cops probably would have killed her.

The best weapon thus far. Needs more bolts though. Rick reminds me of the lead singer to the Editors, so he had my heart from the beginning.

god damnit Noah this is your fault

HerrSonntag · « **Reply #1292 on:** February 08, 2015, 08:58:08 PM »

So, one kinda gap that hasn't really been addressed by the show is about the infection

So, per all zombie films, if you get bitten and survive, you'll slowly become a zombie at some point. Alright i'm on board.

[SPOILERS]
Now, TWD has also established that the infection is also dormant in everyone's system all the time. As demonstrated a few different times, if you die a non-walker death and find yourself retaining a functional central nervous system: you will become the walking dead.

Interesting premise, makes for some good story lines, however this begs the questions: what about being bit causes you to turn? You're already infected, what's the bite doing? If its just the physical agitation, people have been afflicted in the show to similar wounds and not turned (e.g being shot, stabbed, lacerated...)

Theres an awful lot of limbs being hacked off in this show for it not even to be discussed.

Boom Roasted · « **Reply #1293 on:** February 08, 2015, 09:03:23 PM »

Saliva has been discussed many times. Yes it's in the air or whatever if you die any way.

HerrSonntag · « **Reply #1294 on:** February 08, 2015, 09:17:44 PM »

But, infections tho. If you have it, and you get dosed again you're still infected.

Could be making the case that its like only a terminal dose in concentrated amounts, like saliva. But i dunno, it seems spurious to me.

hemmy · « **Reply #1295 on:** February 08, 2015, 09:18:33 PM »

When you get bit you become sick and get an incredibly high fever and die. Then turn into a walker. That is made abundantly clear.

HerrSonntag · « **Reply #1296 on:** February 08, 2015, 09:35:07 PM »

But everyone's sick (infected) all the time. Its dormant in everyone's system. Why isn't everyone just fevering up and keeling over all the time?

I admire your attempts to find logic in the medical science of a show that features reanimated corpses.
