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. |

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. |

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. |

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 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. |
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!!! |
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?

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! |

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. |
"Woodbury" is about 7 minutes from my house :p
The actors and crew are amazingly nice folks.. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...40559980_n.jpg |

B/c nobody disagrees that you reanimate after death. Everyone does agree though, that unless a bite can be lopped off, you're dead.[/QUOTE] THIS!!! 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" |

You need to do all you can to let them make you into a zombie so you can have your head chopped off by Michonne! Do this! |
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? |

Quote:
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. |
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.
|
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.
|
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. |
****in-a Glenn, ****in-a!

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. |
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.
|
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 |
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.
