All valid questions to which I have no answers due to feeling like a corpse so not sure how the dead actually walk, let alone run and boy when my teeth all fall out of my head I hope I can still chow on some meat like they do!Sunshine Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430816407010437545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-36885598567113302942013-06-13T08:40:36.742-05:002013-06-13T08:40:36.742-05:00I don't think they started out feasting on hum...I don't think they started out feasting on humans. It was just a bite and move on in the beginning. Only when they started getting HUNGRY did they eat, eat, eat. <br />Is Talking Dead also available to watch? If so you definetly need to watch that too. Almost (but not quite) better than the actual show!!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962431576798591650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-45145709848429930312013-06-10T12:03:24.180-05:002013-06-10T12:03:24.180-05:00Love your card!

The new 'baby' zombies always seem to be escapees: they get bitten & then get away before they get eaten. heehee :o)mel m. m. mccarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059201574461739410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-51157292143034769802013-06-08T19:19:30.512-05:002013-06-08T19:19:30.512-05:00I don't want to give any spoilers but I did as...I don't want to give any spoilers but I did ask my hubby if he remembered Season 2 of TWD and basically that will give you the best explanation at the end. <br /><br />cr8ivemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394802847727918993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-59549569163388678822013-06-08T05:56:06.621-05:002013-06-08T05:56:06.621-05:00Hmmmm - Hawaii was vegetated by bird poo - perhaps...Hmmmm - Hawaii was vegetated by bird poo - perhaps Zombie poo???B : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/15306505278394634246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-36581688843242880242013-06-07T21:28:43.129-05:002013-06-07T21:28:43.129-05:00Nah, this isn't really a hole.
First, zombi...Nah, this isn't really a hole. <br /><br />First, zombies in all these shows occur during some sort of apocalypse, therein many, many zombies are made at once. <br /><br />Second, zombies are easily distracted - anytime something crosses their path, they go after it. <br /><br />Third, zombies never go after other zombies; only living flesh will do. <br /><br />Fourth, you don't turn (in most canons) immediately - it takes time after a bite/exposure to turn. <br /><br />Fifth, there is evidence in later episodes of the Walking Dead of zombies actually getting *full* too but still wanting to bite. <br /><br />So think this way... During an apocalypse, people don't really know what's going on, and there are more people than zombies. Thus, someone gets attacked, but they are likely able to beat the zombie away, or others help. Of course, now they are infected, and eventually turn, likely biting others. Zombie A, who is not fully eaten. <br /><br />Now get into the later stages, when there are many zombies and still a lot of people. People are getting attacked, and pulled to the ground to get chewed upon. However, while eating, some fresh, live people run past and munching zombie is distracted by fresh meat, and abandons his kill for better stock. Zombie B, not fully eaten.<br /><br />This also comes in the case when someone turns very quickly - zombies don't eat other zombies. I would imagine at a very fast stage, these people start to taste bad after death, and the munching zombies move on. Zombie C - not fully eaten.<br /><br />In order to have the kind of mass turns you see in these stories, it has to all be happening very fast, so a lot of people were turned very quickly. Thus, lots of people who either got bitten during a skirmish, ran off to hide and eventually turned (Zombie D not fully eaten), or got partially eaten and were subsequently abandoned by their attackers (see above). <br /><br />[Note: there's an additional reason I can't tell you about since you're not into season three yet.]<br /><br />If you notice in Walking Dead, there are many people in varying stages of munch. Bicycle Girl, for one wasn't very lucky and there is a webisode with her backstory. There are plenty of bodies around that were just too far gone to turn as well. And there are even examples of people entirely disappearing because they were munched COMPLETELY, so you probably just don't see all the victims. <br /><br />Not everyone ended up as a zombie. Even with just 80% of the population of the US getting completely eaten with no trace and say, 5% survival rate, this still leaves the 15M survivors with 46M partly-eaten zombies to deal with. I'd wager the 80% is high too. So worry yourself no more.
