THE WALKING DEAD...and all things zombie

Are we presuming that the people whose bodies were burned died from the virus? Or were they killed before dying? I don't know what the motive would be to kill them first though. Also it seems like the ones who died from the virus were the younger ones right? Karen was an adult so I was curious whether a strong adult might survive the virus. And I guess all the blood would suggest that they had died from the virus.

I thought this was the scariest episode ever. The only thing comparable to me was when Rick rode that poor horse into Atlanta. And maybe the scene with Andrea and the Governor in that factory after Andrea had escaped Woodbury.

Michonne's backstory should be coming up soon i think when she held Judith and cried. Maybe she had a kid that died?

i liked the theory mentioned on the talking dead that it was the doctor. makes sense... he knows there is no hope for those with this flu bug, and doesn't want it spreading around the prision. but damn, why burn them and not head shot them?

can't see it being herschel. no chance. and it's too cliche that it would be the dude with the drinking problem fucking things up.

good point

I think the idea of burning the body is to get rid of any chance of the virus spreading from the corpse. Pretty sure you need to do more than burn the skin for that though.

I can't remember the guy's name, or if he has even been seen yet, but Hershel mentioned him a couple times in the episode when talking to Rick about their medical options.

don't remember the exact point that he appeared last episode, but i thought the doctor was the indian fellow that was kneeling down talking to hershel (?).

from a website that i linked below: "Plus we have Dr. S. — who said hi to Daryl during mealtime in the Season 4 premiere and became the center of the medical action in Episode 2, "Infected." A sneak peek for Episode 3 shows sick Sasha saying she needs to find Dr. S."

and "So Dr. S is now a biggish part of the story. Who is the guy? His full name is apparently Dr. Caleb Subramanian and he's played by actor Sunkrish Bala."

website might have some spoilers and hint at future plots so i wanted to quote without giving away other info. but here is the link for those interested: http://www.wetpaint.com/walking-dead/ar ... ilers-dr-s

why don't they build a proper wall or something around the prison?

With what materials?

i'm sure they can find materials somewhere in atlanta.. is it not plausible?
what about a moat?

Atlanta? They can't safely leave their fence line. How would they get supplies to build a proper fence from ATL to the prison?

I think (hope) these scenes are leading up to them hitting the road again. That was the pinnacle of the show so far. The whole crew on the road.

girlfriend and i are making bets as to when we will finally get a glimpse of the governor. she thinks it will build and we won't see him until the mid-season finale, but i sure hope we see him sooner. such a great villain :corn:

The only time I want to see him is when zombies are eating his guts out while he's alive.

ah, come on... the governor is awesome

I bet somebody is sorry that he/she asked Marilyn Manson to be on the Talking Dead.

I felt a lot dumber just listening to Marilyn Manson speak. I heard people say he was actually well spoken and very articulate. He sounded like he had never watched the show and just wanted to turn the discussion into a junior high discussion about boobies.

Haven't watched this episode, but I think the non show-affiliated guests this season have been awful. I know they usually are but this season seems even worse. Not sure why I waste my time with Talking Dead.

actually last week's guests (the comedian and the chick with the orange hair) were funny and had some good insight.
