I find it ironic that Rick cast Carol out of the group because he didn’t feel his children were safe around her, yet she is the only reason the pre-teen baby bunny killer did not finish suffocating Judith.
People don’t always get eaten, sometimes they get bit and kill the walker that bites them, then they die of the infection/wounds and come back as a walker. What I don’t get is in that pile of flesh that was supposed to have been someone, where are the bones? We don’t see walkers crunching on bones so where do the bones go? That’s the thing that bothered me about when Lori got devoured, where were the bones?
Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) fed raw fresh bones to her dogs, and they ate them.
That doesn’t explain the absence of skulls and large bones, though. Perhaps they are just hidden under all that glop.
That’s a good idea. Even though I’m in a more western time zone, it seems like we get the show here earlier than other people. I didn’t want to blow a big spoiler in my first post in this thread for the people who were watching an hour later than I do.
The walkers have sponge rubber heads and diamond teeth?
My thoughts exactly.
I just started watching season 1 over again today, and I noticed something that made me wonder…
The dead bodies in the cars, tank, etc. They are dead and rotting… and yet later in the series, ALL dead people re-animate. Huh?
It feels like the auto-re-animation was an afterthought.
That could very well be.
Were I to fan wank it, I should say that those first people were killed by the military who shoot folks a whole bunch of times, sometimes in the head.
Or, perhaps it developed afterwards. The virus or whatever mutated. Folks who died before the apocalypse didn’t didn’t turn.
Someone go over to the spoiler/comic thread-did every death result in zombification at the start?

Personally, I like spoilers - I can see hiding them for people who don’t, but I never fail to click on a spoiler. Since I dvr both, I often will watch ‘Talking’ before I watch the ‘Walking’ episode it applies to. That way I know what to watch for and don’t have to go back and watch the episode again to catch up on things I may have missed.
But then again, I’m the sort of person who will read the last page of a novel first - I just don’t like surprises… 
They planted the seed that everyone reanimates in the first season; it was the secret the CDC guy whispered to Rick. The writers handwaved away the dead bodies in the cars as having been reanimated and then being trapped by the seatbelts and cooked by the hot Atlanta sun. Weak, for sure, but just another in a long line of forsaking good writing in the service of looking cool.
Now I do recall that from The Talking Dead. Thanks!
Just got a chance to watch last night. It’s like a trainwreck you can’t look away from.
The campfires really bug me. There’s no good reason for these people to light a zombie beacon every time they sit down. It’s summer in Georgia, so it’s warm. They are not hunting or fishing, so there’s no raw food that needs cooking. It’s clueless writing from people who don’t think too hard: we’re outside at night, better light a fire. Yes, we need to see the characters, but there are lots of very dim scenes that don’t seem to cause problems.
Why sleep in the open anyway? There are cars everywhere. If folks would just hop in and shut the hell up when it starts to get dark, they’d be invisible to zombies. Unless the car is on fire, this week. Tall grass or thick bushes would work almost as well.
The shot of the circling vultures is yet more proof that the writers are deliberately screwing with us. The heretofore steadfast refusal to show carrion-eating fauna is, I suppose, a valid creative decision, even though insects (heck, just bacteria) would have devoured the zombies by now. But using vultures solely for a lame film school 101 cliche shot is just more thumbing their noses at the viewers.
The whole bit with Tyrese and the girls is kind of baffling. The huge zombie-squashing man changes the baby while the little girls stand guard? Why did they leave the baby carrier at the prison, other than to bait us over the midseason break? And wouldn’t it have made more sense to keep the girls close while he investigated the disturbance? Where did the taller girl get dead rabbits from anyway? Does she have a trapline way the heck out in the woods?
I know, I know: Forget it, Furious_Marmot, it’s Zombietown.
Probably keeps the bugs down. I’d want to see the zombies coming, and be able to see my weapons.
Were they attracted to the burning car by the fire, or by the noise?
If they’re attracted to light, they should all be blind from staring at the sun all day.
You have a Doctorate in Zombiology from Milton’s Institute of Taxidermy or something?
What an odd–and I’m guessing strictly male–take on it all. In the situation of the show, there would of course be babies. And kids–you mean you would prefer it if Carl were off the island? I think you should examine your preferences in this area. What does it say beyond what you’ve said?
Or were you guys jus’ sayin’? 
I hate children. I paid money not to have any. 
I hate kids and robots in otherwise decent science fiction.
Let me guess, I bet you have children?
Personally, I hold to the theory that anyone born after the zombie apocalypse is immune to the virus.
That reason alone is enough to keep Judith alive.
If the new guy we just met actually is a good guy, and Terminus is a good place, maybe they can drop Judith off there to be raised without endangering everyone else. Although if it is a good place, the rest should stay there, too. Maybe they will only take Judith - no adults. But that doesn’t make sense, either - they would need all the hands they can get.
Forget it, Cat Whisperer - it’s Zombietown.
An interesting theory.
