Or does the thread title mean spoilers from the TV show? Rather confusing (especially because another TV show Game of Thrones has one thread here with spoilers from those books and one without).

It seems the code is if it is in the comics add a spoiler tag, if the episode has aired, fair game. At least that's what I hope.

cabletech94 11-22-2012 08:37 AM

You're correct.

This is straight from the comic,

Spoiler!



Since I think the whole, bite kills you conversation probably just got misunderstood I think this sums it up pretty well.
We were all getting to the same point I think just had slightly different thoughts on it. The good part will be when or if we find out how it happened, if it can be stopped, and at what point does it start to become more about eradicating and less about surviving.

http://badassdigest.com/2012/11/20/c...-walking-dead/


TV's The Walking Dead has played very fast and loose with its source material; in the original comics, for instance, Shane died much earlier. There is no Daryl in the comics. The Governor is very different in the comics. And so far the TV series has not featured one of the comics' most popular characters - Tyreese (yeah, that's how Robert Kirkman spells it). For a while people thought T-Dog might be Tyreese, but fans were relieved to discover that character had no relation.

In the comic Tyreese joins the group fairly early on, and he's got a good attitude and helpful nature that makes him one of the more likable folks around. He's an ex-NFL player, probably because he's black and that's just how this shit goes in popular culture, and he has a daughter. There's a lot of stuff that happens to Tyreese in the prison that has, obviously, not occured in the show. Since he's not in the show.

Until now! The next major character added to The Walking Dead is Tyreese, bringing the show back up to three black characters - surely some kind of genre program record. And unlike previous casting on The Walking Dead, this one fills me with hope: Chad Coleman is playing the role. The Wire fans know Coleman as Cutty, the ex-con boxer trying to live straight in the latter half of the series. Cutty is one of the most human, decent and lovable characters in the series. A lot of that comes from Coleman, who has a soft center underneath his impressive physical exterior. Perfect for Tyreese, in my opinion.

If the show is smart they'll keep Tyreese around for a while. They can still do some of his more interesting storylines, but I think Coleman is too good an actor to just shuffle out of the story after a handful of episodes. Here's hoping

Chad Coleman is an absolutely PERFECT Tyreese.

You're taking an Apple and proving that something else is an orange because that's an apple. These are two different things. Everyone understands that they are infected and will turn regardless upon death. But when people are bitten, they die due to some sort of excelarated infection caused from the bite. That's why everyone is always asking "Are you bitten?" or saying "he was bitten" etc.. Bites have that effect.

The amputation of oldmanWinter's leg was not to "stop the bleeding" (still astounds me how you could possibly even remotely come to that conclusion). It was to stop the infection before it spread and killed him.

Because I know medicine. Not saying it was the best choice to cut his leg off with a hatchet but its hollywood. Nor did I ever say the infection isnt rapid after being bit. What I said was you dont die just from being bitten. 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.

And yes, they had medical supplies, I believe. They were saving them for Lori's birth. They were also in a prison and knew there was an infirmary (with supplies) somewhere nearby. If it was as simple as an infection (even a super infection), I think they'd bet on finding some antibiotics and cleaning the wound rather than, literally, cutting off his leg to spite his face.

Edit: I've also found out while researching this, that recent research shows that komodo dragons actually are VENOMOUS, not just toxic due to bacteria.

The infirmary was raided before they got there.

I dont think that is completely correct. Didnt Carl go off on his own and find supplied in the infirmary for when Herschel was first needing them?

He brought back all that was left of the medical supplies. Wasn't much.

Lprechaun 11-23-2012 12:55 PM

Gotcha, I knew he went but probably just forgot they had said it was already raided. Its a good show, probably the only series I watch so dedicated.

The problem is that you believe any bite is treatable. As though antibiotic and cleaning will solve any bite. Not the case. Take all the antibiotics you want, it will do you no good.

The only way to stop the infection is to act quick and lop the bitten area of, that is if you are so lucky to have been bitten on an extremity or limb. The big black dude and T-Dog were gone, no matter the measures taken.

Lprechaun 11-23-2012 01:32 PM

Though its all hypothetical, any bite could and should be viewed as any other like injury. Obviously no amount of medical procedures would have saved Dale. T-Dog was not only bitten once, but covered in zombies and eaten. 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.

this has been buried on this site. but the quick view of WD.

all is infected with the virus.
when you die, you "turn" shortly thereafter.

if you are bitten by a walker, you are infected (doubly?) and turn feverish, and will die soon as well.

when hershel was bitten, the crew (as it's assumed, off season) knew that there was only 1 chance to possibly save hershel, and that was by amputation.

if tyreese (tyrese, whatever) is the comic version, it's badass time!!!

Lprechaun 11-23-2012 01:47 PM

AttentionWhore, I assume you have read all the comics? Im only through #14 and like the show better so far. That could be because Ive never read a comic or graphic novel in my life and they are so much more "turn and burn" so to speak. What did you think?

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!

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.

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.

guitarmy21b 11-23-2012 06:12 PM

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.

If you watch the scene after Big Tiny is bite in the prison.

They ask Rick to help him."you helped the old guy" and rick basically says it the location of the wound.

Rick "Look at where the wound is"

"lets lock him up or sumptin,quarantine him"

Rick "Theres nothing we can do"

I certainly do not have any expertise in this area, but it sometimes seems like they portray the 'stabbing through a skull' bit as a little too easy. I would think it would take a wrist-spraining amount of force to get a knife blade through a skull bone. Perhaps the bones get a little more brittle as they walk around dead.

Any of our resident hunters or mass murderers care to comment?

. . . or military historians.

There are plenty of instances in the past of people who have gotten knives, swords or other pointy things through the skull. Francisco Pizarro, for example, received several of these from swords in his last few seconds on Earth; they had no problem penetrating the skull, and a knife stabbing downward can deliver a lot more force in a thrust than a rapier can stabbing forward. The upshot is that knives can definitely do penetrate even a full-strength human skull, and they often have.

Incidentally, I've seen people wonder if slashing towards can bisect a skull as well. They also can, but not necessarily from the characters in the show. Thomas a Becket's head was cut right in half with a swing of a sword, albeit from a Crusader knight, who would probably have more upper body strength (not to mention skill with a sword) than anyone you've ever met in your entire modern life. So, can someone use a machete to cut a zombie head in half? Yes. Can short, thin, non-muscularly-developed pizza-delivery-boy Glen? Considerably less likely.

Lprechaun 11-25-2012 10:45 AM

Our "zombie killing group" aka friends fascinated by the thought have been figuring that while the flesh is rotting away it would be odd to think the bones would become "spfter" so to speak... so I cant justify thinking it would be too easy to get a knife in and out of the skull so easily... the comics tough on that BTW.

Aries Walker 11-25-2012 04:08 PM

Oh, getting it out is a different story. There would be many more instances of the knives getting in the bone, or in the suction caused by whatever soft matter hasn't decomposed, than there are in the show.

Gonzo 11-25-2012 05:32 PM

I wanted to verify that stabbing the brain with a knife is possible and as easy as they make it look. So I went to my local mortuary/morgue and snuck in to a wake. I took out my handy K-Bar and yelled, "We must end it before the change or we're all doomed!" I swung the knife down as hard as I could into the skull of the 70-ish old man on display in his husker shirt and red coffin. (I also yelled "GO MIZZOU!")

Sure enough, the knife went right in to his frontal lobe. No problem.
I made bail and I have a psyche review Tuesday since I told the cops that I had to do it to so we won't have another outbreak of zombie Husker fans.

Lumpy 11-25-2012 08:50 PM

Sure enough, the knife went right in to his frontal lobe. No problem.
I made bail and I have a psyche review Tuesday since I told the cops that I had to do it to so we won't have another outbreak of zombie Husker fans.

LMAO

February

Edit: :facepalm: lol

ragedogg69 11-25-2012 09:49 PM

is it just me or was the governor just being evil to maggie just for the sake of being evil?

NewChief 11-25-2012 09:50 PM

ROFl @ KFC sponsorship spot right after the super graphic eating of the loner in the cabin.

That is one hell of an understatement. In the graphic novel, it was Michonne at the end of the abuse. And the Governor was not kind to her at all.

Even that is an understatement.

cabletech94 11-25-2012 10:13 PM

this was such an intense episode from start to finish.

whether you are a traditional fan (comic), or hardcore tv fan. this episode was fantastic. next week can't get here fast enough. then the stoopid wait to FEB. damnit :banghead: or something.

notorious 11-25-2012 10:14 PM

Why didn't they kill the zombie when they got out of the car? If they had to escape quickly that one would have been right in the way.

Sure-Oz 11-25-2012 10:14 PM

Love this show...haven't been 'addicted' to a show in a long time. Most the time I dvr shows and just catch up when i get a chance. My sunday nights are dedicated to TWD.

Im a few chapters into the comics...i have the 1st compendium and about to the buy the 2nd and read through them. Good stuff

dmahurin 11-25-2012 10:18 PM

While I'm glad Michonne doesn't have to endure the suffering she did in the comics, I'm disappointed the governor probably won't face the same revenge she gives him. Not that it could be shown but it would have been bad ass.

I couldn't put them down, I read the whole first compendium in 1 day.

My guess is that they didn't want any Woodbury patrols to spot a dead biter they didn't kill, thus tipping them off to their presence. It bothered me as well, though.

one of the most graphic scenes that i have ever witnessed (inprint).

absolutely thick with revenge/redemption/payback, etc.

I'd think that any patrols would be more tipped off by the brand new Hyundai parked on the side of the road.
