Remember one thing that is perhaps a little too far fetched, but now starts to cozy up to some facts....
They could have found that fat walker in a couple of places, hell, they could have not even FOUND the fat
walker, it meant nothing to the plot progression. But they found him in a WELL....ground water. If there
is something in the water at the plant too, and it kills people, then we might be informed to the fact that
you can get it through water. So then it stands to reason that it can also be a bad deal if it's in the ground
water at the Greene Farm. Now couple that with the fact that the little blond girl, [last hope for some more
good group-greene love action], fell on the floor with a fever while washing dishes. Now I do not necessarily
mean that she was washing dishes, and that's where she got "da fever", especially since she also had a
close encounter with her zombie-mom. But I would say that if you get it through the water, it acts
really slowly. I still think Blondie could turn, then they will all be thinking, ahh, we should have let her
kill herself. Maybe we are intended to think that she got scratched, when she really is having too much
contact with well water? But again, if it's not a bite, but you can still die, it seems to work super slowly.

Of course I am just brain-stormin now, but look out for this water angle.

If its that easily transferable, why didn't any of the guys get infected when they were covering themselves with the zombies? Example T-Dog when he had that bad cut on his fore arm on the highway, Rick under the pile of zombies with open wounds.

I am not saying it's easily transferable, I am saying that things are starting to glob together in a clue-like fashion.
I have no idea what the contagion factor is not to mention a lack of desire to know, lol. A lot of times you have
plot quirks that are simply there to give the producers a way out of certain situations and into other plot paths.
Lost was littered with them, and most of them turned out to be useless BS. Edit a scene here, add a line there, and
you unlock these sleepers for your use in the show. Another example is this apparent speeding up of zombies.
I mentioned the movie The Dead earlier in the thread, and one thing I can say about that movie, the zombies never
once moved faster than a dragging shamble in the entire 2 hour movie. And yet they were still menacing. But here
in TWD, they seem to be newly invigorated....why? And again, I need to re-watch some stuff, see if they actually
are speeding up or NOT. It seems to me that if Shane and Otis had faced these sprinting zombies at the school,
both of them would be dead now.

If I have unprotected sex with a zombie but am not bitten or scratched, will I become infected?

Do condoms help?

How about dental dams?

Because the virus has mutated to become stronger.

I think you guys are putting too much thought into the fact that the zombies seem to be moving faster. Here's my theory about that: the director decided it would be more tense if the zombies could actually catch up to people. I'm seriously doubting it will have anything to do at all with the storyline.

Did you notice the pile of burnt bodies as well? Why would they be burning bodies? My thought is that everyone is already infected with the virus and if you die no matter what the cause of death then you become a zombie. It seems a little too coincidental that they would work it into the script that there are no bite marks on those zombies. It has to be part of the storyline.

I want a Zombie to get pregnant, so the little baby zombie eats it's way out, and then goes on a killing spree. Maybe some super Zombie Hybrid, that can think and move quick:r

It'd be great to see a baby zombie crawling after people. It should be easy to kill given the skull's still on the softer side. :)

Not that I am a zombie know-it-all, but I thought all zombie heads and their body in general are soft, which makes it easier to impale them?

Speaking specifically to the soft tissue issue, how does a zombie get pregnant then?

Well, Mikey, I think you are more than likely RIGHT, however, I IMAGINED that the Producers/Director ''
had more 'integrity' and would stick with the precedent set initially, so therefore it HAD to be significant,
but in the end I am sure you are right...and looking for some directorial consistency in Hollyweird is asking
a bit too much, I guess. Looks like we will have to see how it progresses.

By Hollywood rules, if they shot a scene like that, and used it, it's most definitely going to be
important, and it will be a game changer for the most part. A paradigm shifter to put it like the
cliche' artists say. Interested to see how it plays out. Of course the cops did not die from
bullets, nor scratches, so what was their cause of death?

The more I think about this, the more it seems to line up. I keep thinking of Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, where Mr. Gray was trying to dump an alien body into the standpipe to infect the town. Not sure if that is overly influencing my thought, but what was the point to the whole "send Glenn down the well" scene? (And what kind of idiots are they to do that, anyway?)

One of the things that keeps bugging me is the rapid deterioration of Blondie. I think she was at the sink when she collapsed, and she sure looked pale & deathly for awhile laying on the bed. Now she doesn't eat and is obsessed with suicide. Maybe those are signs. It wouldn't explain why only Blondie is affected, when they are all drinking & washing from the same supply, but it has me thinking.

On a personal note, the healthcare worker in me cringes at the lack of universal precautions with all that blood spatter around. :D

I think if the walkers getting faster was a plot issue then it would be more obvious like Rick would say "sheet! These walkers are getting faster!"

Maybe the cops poisened themselves? Hard to say. I just think it's very interesting that there were burnt bodies and that the camera was very specific about focusing on them.

With them getting granted a third season, It is unlikely to resolve itself soon, or I would say hey, we'll find out
Sunday, haha. Who knows when we will know. But yeah, I think Rick WOULD say such a thing.

I'm guessing this is why they have made a couple of points about the water supply. With the well thing, and the water treatment plant or whatever it was. Could also be why they burned some bodies there. A futile first attempt at eradicating the problem.

Maybe this was already brought up???

I clearly watched Shane cut his hand, wipe it on the doorway of the school bus... A zombie licked the blood... Shane stabbed the zombie in the head, then wiped his cut hand at the same place the zombie licked, to attract another zombie. WTF?

;sHow do you not get infected?

I don't think you can get infected by zombies by fluids...if this is what you are referring too, I believe you have to be bitten.

Yup, they wiped zombie guts all over themselves in Atlanta to avoid detection, remember?

I would like to have relations with a female zombie....would that be considered munting?

Undoubtedly AMC leaked a major spoiler in a brief advertisement for an advance purchase of the box set of Season 2. The link below is a harmless article about the leak w/o any spoilers but they also provide a link in the article that shows the spoiler. I like to be shocked/surprised with my shows so I stayed away like the link was a snaggletoothed woman with a unibrow :lv. Just in case some of my fellow Walking Dead BOTLs happen to like snaggletoothed women with unibrows :xxx, this link takes u to the article that has the additional link to the spoiler.

Not that I was glad to see Dale gone...trying to figure out how the zombie ripped his stomach open. He had his arms as he was holding him from biting him. Rick needs to slap the sh@t outta Carl. Disrespecting Carol, playing with zombies in the mud, sneaking into the barn...he got Dale killed and next he's gonna get himself killed. Waiting for the "war" with the kids group...it's a coming. ONE freakin' zombie in this whole episode...I WANT MORE ZOMBIES!!
