For those who watch The Walking Dead
    #19161158 - 11/19/13 06:35 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I have been catching up on this series and there is one thing I just dont get. Alright so they find out that they are all infected anyways so even if they die of natural causes they will still come back as a zombie...

So why the fuck does them getting "bit" by a zombie kill them and make them turn? It doesnt make sense that a bite will kill them when they are already infected anyways. Once they are "infected" shouldnt they just keel over and die anyways?

Maybe I am missing something but to me it seems like there is a flaw in the way this shit was written

Interesting point. I guess that there could be two different strains of the infection--one that is airborne and one that is fluid-borne. What I don't get is how there isn't anyone alive who is able to find out a single goddamn thing about the infection. I'd be able to tell you whether it's viral, bacterial, or fungal in a few hours tops. Derp.

Whatever. It's all going to be :mxe: and by MXE i mean Aliens in the end and we all know this.

I suppose one way of saying it is, the airborne virus that everybody has lies dormant and activates undead animation upon death, whereas the virus entering the bloodstream through a bite or scratch causes the reanimation process to begin immediately.

I thought exactly the same thing. Looks like synthe may have cracked it though.

I would say its just chilling in there blood stream in till something activates the cause for them to die. Like a bite lol. Once they get bit i
guess thats when the fever starts

OR the fluid-borne disease only kills them, the Airborne disease only resurrects them.

Do people actually become zombies from minor bites in the show? I thought there were examples where they didn't but I might be remembering wrong.

the disease was supposedly airborne so everyone has the virus dormant in their system while the bites act as a catalyst killing them with a high fever and shutting down their internal organs before reviving them as zombies, it's explained in the show.

Fun fact: In the comics nobody has any idea that they're already infected :themoreyouknow:

Has anyone else been pretty damn disappointing with the current season?  Not having anything to do with the OP's post but just in general?

I think maybe with the bites it's not so much a reanimation of some dead tissue...it's more like a lateral move.  Or it's just super fast acting when it hits the bloodstream.  I dunno.  I know they call it walking dead and the people "die" before they reanimate.  But for them to be animate, they technically can't be dead, they're just functioning in a state that is unknown to science...supposedly.  The guy at the CDC had knowledge that the general population didn't have, maybe there's more to it.

Edit: whoa holy shit, I'm too drunk to keep up with the pace of the pub tonight  :shrug2:

It's a polypeptide chain written out in their zombie DNA that comes out as an enzyme that converts all human's normal cells into zombie stuff.
