hey dude, you can call me cabletech94, MOD abuse a few months back, heh!

i'm a comic geek. but had never read walking dead. didn't even know care about it, and i'm a huge zombie genre nerd. so when i heard a rumor of WD on AMC, went out and bought the graphic novel.
LOVED IT!!!

i feel bad for you guys that went straight to the series, without the comic, because there is sooooooooooo much more intensity. and soooooooo many things that they won't do on a television series.
while some parts have transitioned well to the tv. there's other parts that sadly won't bear fruition.

the characters of t-dawg and darryl aren't in the comic (or if they are, they aren't actually important).

and of course there's things that have happened on the series, that didn't happen in the graphic novel/comic.
that's why i'm so fascinated with the series. and that's part of the intrigue. just when you think it can't get any worse for our heroes..........well, let me stop right there.

with the huge ratings that WD is getting for AMC, i feel comfortable that we'll see a couple 3 more seasons. and as long as we still get those "i can't wait for next week (and sadly next season) moments. then keep on keeping on!

They are asking "are you bit" or saying "he/she is bit" because they already know if they let it go they will die and turn, where as if they can fix the wound and recover they can live.
I dont see how this is hard to understand. Its been pointed out several times in the show already. They are taking the proper precautions in the group to make sure the ones bitten who have treatment are restrained until recovery has happened.

You know medicine? so that is your justification on your stance regarding being bitten by a zombie and turning into a re-animated corpse? Forgive me for being a sketpic on your all-knowning powers of zombie apocolypse law.

Be a skeptic all you want, I already got my apocalypse plan in action :p

Had he only been bit and the wound treated like any other normal non life threatening wound than he could have been aided and recovered. Had they had the proper medical supplied Jim could have been saved as well.
Carl when shot if he hadnt been treated would have died and turned, Merle if he had bled out would have died and turned. All serious injuries, yet treated and recovered.
Bites are no different than any other injury. If they are life threatening or not. If it can be medically treated regardless of the injury as if it happened by a zombie or by playing basketball in the prison yard it can be treated with measures, as they showed by treating Herschel. If a zombie bites your jugular and they cant get to you in time than yes you die due to being bitten... or you are bit and left you die. Bit and be treated if medically possible has been portrayed as possible and will continue to be.
Spoiler!

Wrong. T-Dog was only bitten once on the back. At which point he KNEW he was a goner, and had no hope of living. Coming to terms with it, he decided not to die in vein, and sacrificed what was left of his life so that Carol could live.

Although you didn't ask me I have read them and I loved the novels. I think it's better than the show. Once you get further in you'll appreciate the books more.

Also, EVERYONE in this thread agrees that if you die, no matter how, you will eventually turn. Nobody is arguing otherwise, you are arguing with yourself on that point.

Actually don't know if I've seen one single person state otherwise.

I thought the last episode was total crap, and probably since the worst one since the half-season long Sophia hunt. All the scenes between Andrea and the Governor are boring and terrible. It's like the writers of the show have a necessity for the lead female to be an annoying and unlikable character so now they throw Andrea into that role. She's way cooler in the books. The next episode should be good though.

Finally watched last episode. Since the Lori on the phone thing came out: do you all see the genius of the anti-c-section scene now? He "delivered" Lori onto existence when he cut open the zombie that had eaten her? Daaamn.

And that's all Darabont because it doesn't go down like that in the comics.

Hard to not notice that Rick hasn't taken that particular zombie corpse out to be burned with the others just yet, either.
