A neg, baby.
I kind of like the idea of only dad donating blood to his son - there are more factors at play than just the ABO and Rh factors, and you don’t want the kid dying from a transfusion reaction from a stranger’s blood that has a different incompatibility. As a former blood banker, I’m having enough trouble with the father to son donations without any crossmatching being done. 
Well, he would die without the transfusion and they probably can’t test anything to be sure, so they do what they can.
I know you are just kidding, but at the same time, what other option do they have?
Also, pretty sure T-Dog would have bled to death from that cut, if it was as bad as it looked in the show.
Didn’t even stitch anything up really, did they?
Ketchup. It’s TV, so it’s just ketchup.
I like the zombie cloud theory, it fits in nicely with the Z behaviour we’ve seen so far. The dead seem to be attracted to sound and motion; and while they tend to ignore one another they are also dimly aware of the movements of other Z’s. So some get up and follow the leader, some drop off, the leader shifts and the direction changes etc… Likely the highway herd isn’t really going anywhere, it is just going on inertia. In that case all it takes to keep the group going is one Z stubbournly or mindlessly moving forward. The path of least resistance is to walk along the road so off they go.
As an aside, I believe this is the first time we’ve seen the dead ascend a proper staircase is it not? I wonder what else they might be capable of.
I have a question.
Why did the “hanging zombie” have his legs gnawed at by other zombies? I thought zombies didn’t eat each other. If they can/do eat each other then why don’t we ever see that happen when they’re in a herd?
Maybe it happened like this - he tried to hang himself before he turned (as the note said he’d been bitten so he wanted to kill himself), the hanging didn’t kill him (for some reason) so he was left hanging but not yet a zombie and then some zombies came around and ate his legs, then he eventually died and turned?
Wild animals? I assume walkers would have been able to pull him down had they stumbled upon him before he turned.
I think they said in the show that the other walkers ate his legs.
I realize they have no real way to know, but that was what Daryl said.
I am not sure what happened, I’d like to know the shows official stance on it.
Probably was asked about somewhere.
Someone earlier speculated that maybe he wasn’t a turned yet when he hung himself (which makes sense) and after dying, the walkers ate him up before he changed.
Another is that it was a botched hanging and that he was alive for a bit, just choking or maybe just really uncomfortable until they found him and ate him.
yeah Darryl did say that I think. but we have not seem Walkers go cannibal before and there has been ample time and reason to. i suppose the walker (or its friends) that bit him could have stuck around until after he hung himself and got him before he turned. i guess we won’t know, and it is likely that it won’t ever matter
Yeah, but that’s what internet message boards are for!
Darryl’s no CSI Miami, so he probably was just making a WAG.
I think that makes perfect sense. It can take hours to change to a zombie and they obviously eat people after they die or else they’d have stopped munching on Otis after a few bites.
Most farm fences I’ve seen are three or four rail fences with maybe some hot wire added. They’re designed to keep livestock in, not humans out. Maybe they have no climb fence for foals, but even that seems easy for a zombie to get through.
Speaking of foals, Hershel could have asked for either his full kit or a foaling kit. Most foaling kits have iodine, a scalpel, rubber gloves, etc. that would be useful. Of course, they also often have frozen colostrum, vet wrap, a large plastic bag, a twitch, and other materials that would be of no use whatsoever for a gunshot wound!
