I think it's more on the line that they are already infected. Once they die at any means they then will become a zombie. Fore example Randall was killed with no bite marks, his neck was snaped and he became one. So only logical thing is they all will be one when they die?

Except, as has been stated, for all those dead people sitting in their cars on the road that didn't have holes in their heads to "kill" them...pretty sure the consensus is a plot hole though and they are all infected

Its possible that they died before the infection was spread that widely. Perhaps its airborne and they left the city and got on the highway in time to avoid being directly infected. I suppose the walkers could be carriers and as they migrated out and it got more widespread it infected everyone. Death on the highway may have arrived sooner than this.


But more likely its a plot hole.

I can definitely accept that if they would just keep the action up and cut down on all the boring filler crap...half a season of filler is intolerable
 
Read an interview earlier with writer Robert Kirkman and he explains the freeway bodies. Doesn't really spoil anything in fact it explains it better but I'll spoiler tag it here anyways:

This does raise the question about the dead bodies in the season-opening traffic jam — why hadn’t they all been turned?
I think if you go back and watch that [sequence you'll see] we were very careful to have them be in cars that were in accidents, so the brain would’ve had trauma. Or they had some kind of wounds somewhere on their heads to show that their brains had been killed, like somebody came across and killed them. We knew that we were building to this throughout the entire season.

Waterborne disease?

There was a zombie in that well, and people probably drank from it before noticing.

Regarding the infection plothole... maybe the virus has a small % chance to kill? I mean who dies sitting in the car not having bit, shot or any other signs of trauma?
 
there are plenty of possible explanations for non-zombies dead in cars... doesn't seem worth harping over.

my own fanwank theory is that it's an airborne disease that doesn't affect a person until they're dead (but being bitten/scratched by a zombie dramatically speeds up the trigger process)... I assume that the people who died alongside the highways died early on into the outbreak before the disease had incubated to a point where it would affect them.
 
Moving along, I hope a few more cast members die on the season finale. This show feels 24ish, you got Rick as Jack Bauer who'll survive through the worst situations and you got Carl as Kim, the child who's a magnet for all kinds of bullshit making the dumbest choices but seemingly escapes unscathed by virtue of being the offspring of the protagonist. With any luck, that'll mean Lori dies and the sooner the better. Kill em all. I'm rooting for the zombies.
 
I haven't watched this show in quite awhile. Just curious, did they ever reveal what happened to Daryl's brother? I remember he got cuffed up on the roof and when they went back for him he was gone.

Fuck that, what happened to the black guy with the kid from the first episode. What a fucking tease that was with all the telephone games Rick was playing with the radio all season 1. They better fucking run into him again.

Then why would you be curious about the brother with the missing limb? 😕

Because that guy was doing something to take matters into his own hands (so to speak) at the time it basically cut away (crap, did it again) from him.

To answer your question seriously though, for some reason I always thought the man/boy from the beginning were dead but never really felt that about Daryl's bro. Maybe it was the way they portrayed them the last time we saw them but it's been so long now that I can't remember specifics and even then it would rely upon an individual's perception of the events.

I think they are all infected, so the virus became airborne at some point. That's the only way the infection rate could be so high. There are plenty holes (Shane turns into a zombie in seconds, the zombie kid from the other group is ambulatory with a broken neck?!). But there have been enough interesting episodes to keep me watching, and the season finale could be very good.

So that means the Russians are coming in the next episode and then we find out there's a mole in the group and finally everything is a big government conspiracy?

This episode was so much better than the last 3 weeks of shit.
