WHAT\u2019S WITH THE FREAKY ZOMBIE SOLDIER THAT RICK ENCOUNTERS?<\/strong><br \/>\nLittle has been mentioned about the military operations that took place at the start of the spread, and this has a lot to do with the fact that Rick is in a coma while a big chunk of the action occurs. In the very first episode, Rick climbs into a tank to protect himself and rather awkwardly bumps into a zombie soldier who is extremely unwelcoming.<\/p>\n<p>This tells us that there was some attempt to contain or diminish the epidemic, but how and why it failed is never really looked into at all. The whole premise of the show revolves around the aftermath, so it\u2019s understandable why the creators have decided not to show this, but still, it would be interesting to see if there were any mistakes made on the government\u2019s part. Fear the Walking Dead\u2018s attempts to do so were\u2026we\u2019ll say ineffective.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For me, the most exciting part of any zombie tale is when the outbreak starts and nobody knows what is going on or what to do. \u00a0It might be interesting to see a flashback to the start of the outbreak following a heroic soldier who, you guessed it, ends up as a zombie in the tank with Rick.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>6. WHAT\u2019S ZOMBIE GIRL\u2019S DEAL?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Zombie girl with the little teddy bear is the first ever walker Rick sees and kills. And of course, this is an extremely emotional moment for Rick, as he comes to terms with the fact that he\u2019s going to have to blow this little monster away. Big ones, little ones, they\u2019re all the same. They\u2019re monsters, they\u2019re no longer people, and they\u2019ll have to be put down.<\/p>\n<p>Something that stands out as slightly off is the fact that Zombie girl bends down to pick up a teddy bear to take with her. This seems rather odd, considering the walkers don\u2019t possess human traits or emotions and only really seem to care about getting their five humans a day, if you know what we mean.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like zombies who can think. \u00a0They shouldn&#8217;t be pumping gas or firing guns or using rocks to break windows (although I can over look that in Romero&#8217;s NOTLD car scene). \u00a0Yet, for some reason the little girl picking up the stuffed teddy bear didn&#8217;t bother me. \u00a0Maybe because it seemed more of an instinctive act than a premeditated action.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>1. HOW DID THE VIRUS EVEN START?<br \/>\n<\/strong>They haven\u2019t really touched on this subject, although there\u2019s been a few attempts to find a cure. What we do know is that humans, or most of them, already live with the zombie pathogen which will become active upon their death. \u2018Zombification\u2019 can also be caused by a walker\u2019s bite or scratch, which transmits an infection that kills and subsequently releases the pathogen.<\/p>\n<p>The brain is directly affected; a walker displays no human intelligence or emotion (except for the occasional teddy bear attachment), yet has primal abilities such as smell and movement. The only way to destroy a walker is to damage their brain, and there has been no mention of a permanent cure, as of yet. It would be interesting to find out what triggered the infection in the first place and whether this was man made or a natural occurrence. None of the characters seem to have any real knowledge on the subject, and it\u2019s possible no one really knows what happened! Except Robert Kirkman, of course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While it might be interesting to discover how the virus started, it is kind of cool that no one seems to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tara Diaz and ScreenRant present\u00a0The Walking Dead: 15 Mysteries The Creators Have Completely Neglected. \u00a0Here are three of my favorites<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,53,50,62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comics","category-horror","category-tv","category-zombies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18562"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18563,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18562\/revisions\/18563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
