two viruses evolving independently at the same exact time, one that is airborne and one fluid-borne that both do the same thing.

and not only that they have different modes of action but the same end result???

fuck that.

this bothered me too

let's just all agree that Walking Dead is awesome, and anyone who disagrees isn't awesome. :awesomenod:

I'm pretty calm, no need to get defensive. I wish I had the answers but fiction is fiction, it's by definition a stretch of the imagination.

the "deal with it"  :angryguy: , kinda went a bit overboard.

i am dealing with it, i am just curious, though... if i can figure out that the convoluted zombie disease is a deadend, when it comes to making any sense; maybe the shows writers can write something to explain how somethings work, better, so that there are no plotholes. this is how writing a show works. i wonder if there will be plotholes at the end of it's run.

It will make sense if the show doesn't get cancelled before everyone finds out that it was really :mxe: aliens all along.

I've always thought that if aliens really did want to invade earth, it would be best to exploit mankind's latent fears. All they have to do is make flyby's in our stratosphere and capture our precious electrons, intercepting all TV and radio signals on earth. They would study us and determine the end-of-the-world scenarios that we have already invented. Therefore, it would be very easy for them to engineer two independent strains of a virus that made it appear as if humans, after dying, would be resurrected as zombies. This would not only create mass chaos on earth and devastate the population, making them easy to conquer, but would leave humans convinced that their worst fears have come true and that it's caused by some kind of supernatural plague, when in reality, it is :mxe: devious aliens.

hahah thanks for your input on my TWD fanfic. I would be happy to write for TWD if they would have me on their team. Unfortunately, I don't have TV writing experience, just a logical, and perhaps slightly schizophrenic mind. :shrug: it's the only way I can see zombies making sense in the end.

I also think that it's ridiculous that we haven't seen any military cults. Seriously, there has to be some kind of Navy vessel that was at sea for the whole outbreak of the infection. All it takes is one crazy bible-thumping religious Navy leader to lead a cult of zombie exterminators with real expertise in tactical knowledge and explosives. They would spend their days luring hordes of zombies into giant skyscrapers and commencing a controlled demolition, killing thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of zombies in the process. All you have to do is fly a helicopter to the top of a skyscraper, drop off a bunch of nice fresh meat, and leave a huge sound system to lure them in. This is all after you've placed the explosives, of course.

I mean, isn't that possible, though?  With genotypic/phenotypic similarities?  C'mon, like the Herpes Simplex Virus. Except I would argue even though it seems the same end result on Walking Dead, there are some differences.

:rofl2: i love it. see, this is why the internet and youtube exists. :wink: make your show! people would watch that for sure.

damn it, writers aren't given enough freedom of expression, with TV. i mean, i'd rather watch crazy zany off-shoots then the real thing anyways... or at least something like that would make what's on TV better. in my opinion, anyway... :lol:

the zombie plague could actually be looked at as a comparison to the HIV virus spreading.

Man Milton was a total dumbass and a total pussy. I don't think he ever completed a single college course. All he did was play COD with Philip "The Governor" all day before the outbreak happened. Same with the CDC guy, none of them knew a goddamn thing about biology.

otherwise they could have led that navy zombie hoard with the Governor! just reach those faint memories and wire up grenades and shit to the zombies and have them train; just hang up some meat slabs and watch the nades fly. eventually the memories gotta become sucinct enough so the zombies reclaim some accounts of war and blowing shit up professional... they won't be as good as they were... but still...
