OOOOoooooh.
The guy who tells him about Atlanta is Morgan (same as in the show). Rick reunited with his wife and kid (along with everyone else) just south (like a golf shot) of comic-book Atlanta. Remember, in the show Rick reunites with Lori and Carl after being rescued from a zombie-surounded tank by a walkie-talkie wielding Glenn, who so happens to be with a group scavenging for supplies for a larger camp that just so happens to include Loiri, Carl, and Shane. The comic set up is similar and certainly no more implausibe just because he has to cross a couple state lines.
I’m not going to spoiler this cause this is book-jacket material (infromation about a show isnt a spolier. Darth Vader is Luke’s dad is a spoiler.)
Darth Vader is what??!
sonofabitch!
Maybe they were bitten in their cars and zombies can’t figure out how to undo a seat belt.
I don’t think it’s ever been established whether zombies die after a long enough time without food.
100 people in 100 cars all getting bit and deciding to just buckle themselves in and see what happens doesn’t seem the likeliest of explanations. Plus, there were cars with multiple people in them and it seems unlikely that they’ve have turned at exactly the same time so that the first didn’t eat the others.
I’m pretty sure that, barring some fancy dancing by the producers, we will never get a good explanation for why there were a bunch of corpses in all those cars instead of zombies clawing at the doors.
Finally got to watch this episode so I can now read the thread…
Have we already discussed Shane’s nose wound magically healing & cleaning itself up then reappearing again? Because that was hilarious.
He clearly washed his face and then re-injured his nose off camera - we’re not sure if he picked his nose up off the ground yet, however.
Zombies strapped in their seat belts wouldn’t be that hard to finish off, maybe they did reanimate and someone already rekilled them.
I can tell you but it’s all Linux based so it might sound like Greek.
Daryl & Carol sittin’ in a tree

First comes love, then comes marriage
Then comes a zombie in a baby carriage!
It’s gonna happen. That look he gave her at Dale’s funeral isn’t the first one. Plus looking for Sophia solo those three days. Daryl appears at first to be hardcore (and he is) but I think he has the kindest heart of all when you strip away the gruff redneck.
I thought he was quite annoyed with her when she made advances, calling her a bitch.
Well, heck.
I just bought a TV Wonder USB, hoping it will work better than the antique Wonder card. I’m trying to save some AT&T Uverse recordings that won’t burn to DVD, including all the episodes of *Walking Dead.

I ran Linux for a bit, but not playing Doom made me quit.
I have some PCs laying around I’d be willing to convert.
That’s how you know that they’re meant to be together.
You’re a guy, right?
I recognize that Y chromosome problem.
Got it myself.
I’m on vacation, so I am off-schedule and just downloaded and watched the episode.
Re: the “zombies tearing flesh apart” dream-like sequences
Yes, they showed something very similar when Jim was in the RV after having been bitten and he was suffering from the fever effects of the virus.
You are not the only one. These threads are significantly less interesting when that shit keeps cropping up.
Seriously. It’s not that hard - for all that I love this show, it’s really not that complicated, and keeping track of details isn’t rocket surgery (although I miss stuff every now and then, to be honest). T-dog (NOT T-BONE) has been in the background doing stuff here and there the entire time. Jimmy, Beth’s boyfriend, has been in the background doing stuff here and there the entire time. People are not randomly disappearing and reappearing - they’re doing shit off-camera.
Not that I don’t agree that T-bone is the token - I’ve said before in discussions of this show that there should be significantly more African-American survivors and zombies in the Atlanta area, given the demographics of that city.
I am analyzing Darryl’s character based on the stuff he’s revealed about his life. He hasn’t mentioned a mom, that I remember. He told Andrea that when he was young (nine or ten), he got lost in the woods for a large number of days and no one knew because his father was off on a bender with a waitress and Merle was in juvie again. The flashback to Merle when Darryl was injured contained a lot of Merle blasting on about how he (Merle) was always trying to make Darryl tough, in order to save his (Darryl’s) weak ass. Darryl’s a not-well-formally-educated survivor of a pretty abusive and neglectful house.
When Carol asked him not to go out, in the barn, saying “I can’t lose you, too,” my psychological fanwank (based on the look he gave her) was that in his mind, here was another parent abandoning a lost child in favor of a sexual hook-up. I think in some ways Darryl kind of got identified with Sophia during that search, and he sees himself and Carol as playing out some of his own childhood issues.
I can’t believe they’d have to double up all that much in that house. It is eeeeenormous! You could see the extension off the back in some of the long shots from the shed during The Randall Situation. There are even parlors or sitting rooms off some of the bedrooms.
Speaking of black people on the show, I wish Jackie, the black lady from the initial group, hadn’t decided to buy it in the CDC. She was extremely compeling-looking.
I’ve noticed that apart from Sophia and the little girl from the open in the series pilot, we haven’t seen any zombie children. Too disturbing for basic cable? It just seems weird. There should be scads of them.
Not sure about that - if an adult gets attacked by a single zombie (or a small group) and gets bitten, he/she has a shot at getting away. A kid, not so much - most bitten children are going to be lunch.
Talked about his a few times in past threads, at least now the “everyone becomes a zombie” thing is no longer a spoiler.
My opinion - They got trapped in their car by a zombie heard and probably died of heat and dehydration. Not sure the extent of brain damage that would occur in that type of death but I don’t think it is that relevant - you reanimate as a zombie inside a car with the doors locked and windows rolled up (protecting yourself from the zombie herd) in the sun on a concrete/blacktop freeway during the summer then if you are not already, you will very quickly be zombie jerky. A dried out, desiccated corpse.
Here’s a good shot of the back of the house
Good point about the kids, Folacin
