I agree. I've got a HUGE collection of Walking Dead, and have read everything, but I'm CLUELESS as to what is gonna happen next!!

Sure, there are things they throw in from the comics, but it's little more than stuff to make us go "WOOOO!!", and then they get back to their new direction and I'm lost again. I love it!!!

On the whirligig thingie, I like how they're using tiger traps to catch walkers, however insane that concept is in actual practice. I'm assuming they are far enough away from Woodbury that the walkers don't find their way into the town, but I think eventually it could backfire on them and attract a herd. And no matter how crazy the Gov is, I'm not thinking his quiet little town of people in denial is gonna fair too well against a herd of walkers.

As long as they keep Daryl alive at all costs, I'll be happy. It might be interesting to see how he'd interact with Michone.

I'd like to think the siren would be far enough away since they drove to it.

I'd think they could keep digging big pits, although it would be considerable effort. Maybe throw some wood below and start a bonfire in the pits?

Side note, how would the walkers know to eat Lori vs. allow her to become a walker?

And what did that walker do with all those bones?

I don't think it exactly matters, I think they eat until nothing is left/ its not fresh any more.

They should start figuring out how to use these herds, If they start finding ways to take care of them then I'd say things have a chance of turning around.

Wind changed direction.

That's what kinda bothers me about the whole thing. Some guys get one bite and become walkers. Lori apparently was chomped clean. ...although one might argue that at this point, many walkers would be really falling apart.

As a road cyclist, I know road kill doesn't stay around for very long before something takes care of it.

Well if you're looking at Lori's case specifically, Carl already shot her in the head so she couldn't turn.

And as for other people, it's just a matter of whether or not they can get away after they got bit or not.

ok..so what about t Dogg? obliviously died from bites and being partially eaten, but i'm sure they didn't bite thru his skull, so why no reanimation?!

spade2you · #**610** 11-13-2012, 10:44 AM

So, we should assume that if you got caught and eaten, it would likely be to the bone, so no reanimation?

Most likely.

I'm sure just his head can come back, but what could just a head do?

Maybe trip someone?

It might depend if your brain gets eaten or not?

Yeah I'd imagine they bite your eyes out and dig threw your skull and rip your brain out bit by bit.....

With walkers being weaker, a human skull is pretty strong. I would think the head slices are a bit exaggerated, too.

Ziltoid · #**616** 11-13-2012, 10:54 AM

The brain stem in the top of the neck area then? I don't know.

Rip Topaz · #**617** 11-13-2012, 10:57 AM

Nicotero and Mazerra explained this on one of the early seasons of Talking Dead.

They said that the reason is because there is a point where too much has been eaten and you just can't come back.

Or maybe T-Dogg's last off screen move was to put a bullet in his own brain?

I have a Carol theory. I don't think she's dead. Yet. I think She's going to wander into the room that Rick is in, and he isn't gonna believe that she's real and axe her. (No source for this, just sitting here and it dawned on me!)

Oh yeah, you can't really stab someone's head with a knife like that. But walkers being all dead and stuff they're probably kind of... "soggy"

I imagine their skin being more like the consistency of a wet paper towel than actual skin.

I've seen a few skulls in college that were empty and cleaned. Hard to say what it would be like on a ~year old corpse. The bone material seemed solid enough, not that I had an opportunity to smash it.
