From the scientist? Yes. Rick lets that out of the bag in the finale.

 

Everyone is infected with the virus.

I don't understand why everyone was pissed about it tho. Who cares what happens after you die? It's not like you realize you're becoming a zombie.

could be for the reason i said i'd kill myself. why have they been trying to survive when it doesn't matter, there really is no survival.

Every waking minute you're not a zombie is survival. Who cares what happens to your carcass?

'The Walking Dead' Ratings: Season 2 Finale Shatters Records

"The Walking Dead" closed its Season 2 with lots of blood, guts, zombies and big ratings. The Season 2 finale (9 p.m. ET on AMC) brought in 9 million viewers. According to the network, "The Walking Dead" is the No. 1 drama series in basic cable history with men 18-34. "The Walking Dead's" Season 2 finale grew more than 50 percent in total viewers compared to Season 1's finale.

The audience of the 11:30 p.m. ET airing combined with the 9 p.m. viewership brought "The Walking Dead" Season 2 finale up to 10.5 million viewers. Overall, "The Walking Dead's" second season averaged 6.9 million viewers.

By comparison, the Season 2 finale ratings crushed the previous record, which "The Walking Dead" claimed in February as more than 8 million viewers tuned into Season 2 midseason premiere.

"Congratulations to everyone associated with AMC's 'The Walking Dead’ and thank you to the fans for creating, literally, record-setting television,” Charlie Collier, president of AMC, said in a statement.

The second season ended with a bloodbath as a zombie herd attacked Herschel's farm, causing the remaining survivors to flee, looking for a new settlement. Fan favorite comic book character Michonne was introduced in the final moments of the episode and "Treme" actress Danai Gurira will be playing the role in Season 3.

For those who have read the comics and Rise of the Governor book...when should I read the book? Like is there a certain issue I should stop at and read it?

i think it more has to do with they thought there was a cure perhaps out there, that there was a reason for living outside of just survival. that in the end you would find peace and sanctuary, but knowing that everyone is infected then it really takes that glimmer of hope away

This makes me wonder why the fuck they are so budget tight with this show. Yet Mad Men gets anything they please with their 1 million viewers a week.

Ugh, from a Kirkman interview with EW.com

Are you looking forward to writing, years hence, the scene in which Lori tells her currently unborn child the story of his or her two dads?

Yeah. We’re going to have a “story time” episode in season 6 where that happens.

 

[Sportsbuck]

Ugh, from a Kirkman interview with EW.com

 

So this either means that she is going to seriously outlive her comic book counterpart or that they are going to drag the prison and Governor storylines out for 4-5 seasons.

Or the writers will just do whatever they want since they don't follow the comic directly. :bazookajones:

Spoiler tags are your friend...dickhead.

Didn't really think I spoiled anything but I'll throw them on there

Ugh, from a Kirkman interview with EW.com

I think he was kidding.

 

[EmpireWF]

There was no :smug: so how am I suppose to tell from straight words. :smug:

 

[St. Francisco]

 

I was most certainly not joking. I didn't know Lori dies in the comics!

It's all good...anywho, anyone got an answer to my question of when I should read the book?

He was referring to Kirkman kidding, not you.

I was trying to figure this out last night, and through googling apparently the author said in an interview that he will never explain what caused the infection.

 

Kirkman explained that going back to explain how the government originally collapsed, "...doesn't interest me, for the time being...I may change my mind eventually."[3] As to the cause of the zombie outbreak, Kirkman wrote, "I have ideas [about the cause of the zombie plague]...but it's nothing set in stone because I never plan on writing it. So yes...I do know...kind of."[4]

In response to a question:
"I think you should elaborate more on how people can turn into zombies without one biting you, or how this whole mess started in the first place. Was it like a plague or a rapture kind of thing?"
Kirkman responded:
"...That starts to get into the origin of all this stuff, and I think that's unimportant to the series itself, There will be smaller answers as things progress ... but never will we see the whole picture."[5]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So the entire inception of the outbreak "isn't important"? Explaining how it came about "isn't important"? Get the fuck out.

So I actually picked up volume one of the comics, and Kirkman does preface it with a little paragraph at the beginning basically saying that this isn't so much about the zombies as it is about the human interaction, and how people respond to the changes. It's Rick's life story, basically, and how the world changes him. He seemed pretty genuine when he said that the zombie thing is more of a backdrop.
