It is nice to know that even after the start of the apocalypse, there are still people willing to have someone drop in for dinner.
It was a great episode. A few points.
2) Where was Carol going? Was she planning on leaving?
Anyway, time to make dinner. We're having foot long Ka Bob's.
Do you think Carol and Tyrese were going to boil the water they were bottling from the stream? Ugh. Can you say 'dysentery'? Haven't they ever seen 'Naked and Afraid'?
So...who's the other guy who was all dressed up in gear and tracking them at the end of the premier?
Why do people get infected from bites, but not from having walker blood and guts all over them, or punching a walker's head in with their bare fists?
Well, granted, even with an ordinary corpse in the real world, you wouldn't want to get cut by its teeth. But if it were an ordinary infection, there'd be survivors; not even rabies or tetanus have a 100% fatality rate.Maybe the infection is blood poisoning from the walkers' rotting teeth?
I thought that fairly early on one of the show creators had said that what kills them is the infection of being bitten by a mouth full of rotten bacteria, not that it was a virus being transmitted by the bite. I've thought since season one that if you could get a good set of antibiotics into someone, they might have a chance. I think it's similar to being bitten by a komodo dragon. It probably is survivable, but they don't really have the equipment or medical facilities (or knowledge) to make that happen.
I'm really intrigued by Gabriel. I do kind of like him, though I wonder if he has a deep dark side. Having just barricaded himself inside makes him a coward, which is interesting, imo. I was concerned at first that he might have Beth locked in a secret room in the basement, but now that it looks pretty certain that he doesn't, I'm liking him more as a character. He's not at all what I expected and it's an interesting change of pace.
Nah, that's not plausible. If it were just ordinary bacteria, there'd be plenty of survivors of bites.I thought that fairly early on one of the show creators had said that what kills them is the infection of being bitten by a mouth full of rotten bacteria, not that it was a virus being transmitted by the bite.
Just so you know, Komodo Dragons are actually venomous, it's not an effect of just bacteria-laden saliva.
