Nothing says that the zombie bites are what turn people into zombies. It could be that zombie bites kill you, and all dead people (except those with head traumas) turn into zombies. So therefore, the first zombie could have been caused by a gunshot to the chest, or a broken neck.

I see his point that just because he knows how to drive cars doesn't mean that he is going to be able to put on a good show about cars. I mean, I wouldn't expect Derek Jeter to be able to put on a production of "Damn Yankees!"

On the "Talking Dead" show they mentioned that the dying cow that Dale finds was originally written to be another cast member, but they don't say who. I wonder if it was supposed to be T-Dog. It's not like he's doing anything else.

According to Talking Dead, the producers called that shot the "zombie waterfall"

At this rate, we'll have a real Ice Age before we see the Winter in Westeros

@avclub-625cbb43db2928b8396df846aed9456a:disqus What if the bite just kills you? Turning into a zombie might be what happens to anyone who dies. That is, a rattlesnake bite would have the same effect as a zombie bite: zombification.

I realize that the comics and the TV show have differed quite a bit, but one thing we learned in the comics is that the dead will rise even if they were not bitten. The only thing being bitten does is kill you. However in the show, we have seen many examples of dead that didn't rise — for example the bodies in the…

I couldn't believe that made it onto the show. It just seemed so graphic. I loved it.

@avclub-f88e5bd0ef09e6a63374bbd30ba91fba:disqus Then what term do you use to describe people who actively believe that there is no God, there never was a God, and there never will be a God? We need a word to describe that philosophy, as opposed the the people who proclaim that they do not know, cannot know, or are…

The vampire in San Francisco cutaway has been tired for 20+ years. Seriously, SNL did that skit in 1989 (James Woods played the vampire). You can even watch it on HuluPlus:

I loved how Walter didn't know he could hypnotize the girl until Peter told him he could, but then Walter happened to have a large elaborate hypnosis machine already. Lucky!

Exactly. Electrocute means to exeCUTE with ELECTRicity. Unless Walter's heart stopped all three times, he was merely shocked, not electrocuted.

Why on earth would you start a discussion on a reality competition show in a thread about a serialized science-fiction show? Post your comment on the Top Chef thread, or the American Idol thread. You'll get a lot more responses.

I was so sure that the drawing would be the trigger for her to recover her memories. After the camera lingered on it at the end of the episode last week, it just seemed foreshadowy.

My mother's Nissan Pathfinder has an in-dash GPS system that has a feature called "breadcrumbs", which puts a dotted line on the roads as you travel. So when looking at the map you can easily see everywhere that the car has traveled. When I borrow the car I always have to remember to turn that off…

To be fair, Warhol was just buying the prints. He didn't take the photos.

Cool story, bro.

Great catch. Thanks!

Back when the alt-names were first being bandied around, I remember hearing "Ersatztrid"

Don't worry. He'll just show her the picture of the house and baby and everything will come back to her.
