The Walking Dead Season 3

In the comic, they just slowed down.

I wouldn't think they would be affected too much in Georgia unless they had a really bad winter.
 
Honestly, I think i would of had a better time with the Zombie Lori scene if I had not of read the spoilers here first. I was all gung ho to see a zombified Lori crawling around and when I saw the body gone and the blood smear I knew it was coming.... and then we got what we got. The first time I watched it i was trying to figure out if that was supposed to be her since it's belly was all swollen up etc. I re watched the episode on the replay and realized i was seeing it wrong because it's what I wanted to see. lol
 
I was in the same boat but I realized it wasn't her the first time I watched it. Just took a minute. I think I'm done looking at the spoilers. It is kind of a bummer not being able to be surprised. I already know about this weeks episode. I'll try to stay spoiler free for the next one.
 
for all we know, a bunch of zombie fed on Lori, tore her body apart and walked away to eat

That's what I said a few pages back, considering we've seen zombies walk around eating flesh off of bone, they didn't even show Rick killing any of the walkers down there, who's to say some of them didn't have pieces of her.
 
For those complaining about no bones left of Lori. That's ALL she was. All skin and bones. They had to eat something after all.
 
Wow, I can't believe that there are so many people complaining about the Lori zombie scene, I had no problem figuring out that that zombie had eaten Lori. True, it wasn't the most obvious but it really wasn't all that hard for me to figure out.

The problem was they prefaced that scene with Glenn confronting Rick and Rick acting like he's in a daze,doesn't recognize Glenn, and attacks him. So I had the mindset that Rick is freaking out, going crazy, or hallucinating. Then you go into the room where Lori died and see what appears to be a pregnant corpse. I figured that since I thought he was hallucinating that he thought a fat zombie was Lori coming back as a zombie. Ricks starts stabbing the stomach, which I figured, in his craziness, was killing a possible zombie baby. After that then the phone, which should be ringing, is ringing. So to someone who hasn't read the comic, or watched Talking Dead, at the end it looked like Rick was just hallucinating.

I can second that. I thought he was stabbing the stomach because the baby came out alive and she didn't, and in his blind rage he didn't realize it wasn't Laurie.
 
I didn't really have a problem with the scene. It's a great show, otherwise I wouldn't be on here talking about a single scene in it!

It's just fun to see everyone's input. I didn't even think about Lori's clothes...:sick

I thought for a split second the Zombie was Lori as well.

This show has answered so many important questions in my life like:

1. What happens to a Zombie when they fall in a well?
2. Do Zombie's eat dead people?
3. Do Zombie's eat any living thing?
4. What happens when I leave a Zombie as a pet?
But they haven't answered the ultimate question we know that Zombies eat but do they go and use the bathroom after a big meal? Hmmmm........think about it. :confused
 
Considering zombies don't actually have any functioning organs, I'd assume their digestive track is non-existent at this point so they'd just eat and eat until their stomach exploded from within and then eventually the skin would tear and fall apart and all their food would just spill out.
 
Wow, getting a lot of hate about the spoilers, in this thread and through email, more so, about the missing Lori scene. You would think, after posting detailed spoilers for 2 seasons, once in a while wrong info would come out.

It's pretty simple, if you don't want to know then don't read them. And if they're not 100% accurate well, it happens. I have various ways I get my spoilers, they range from: People working on set, in post, sound editing, extras, scripts, screener review copies, etc.... Unfortunately the scene doesn't always happen as what's originally on script. Or in last season, they removed a few key scenes for a later date or scrapped them entirely.

With that being said, I try and confirm everything 100%, which this season has been harder since they stopped sending out review screeners a week before it airs and AMC has cracked done hard on leaks

As for the Lori/zombie Lori spoiler, here's a little more info on it. Originally, I was told, it was in the script, just how I said it would happen. Apparently, most people (principle actors) on TWD for the most part, have stated that if their character dies on the show they do not want to come back as a zombie. They don't look forward to getting on set 4-5+ hrs early to sit in a makeup chair all day just to film a few minutes. Sarah Wayne Callies was one of them. When she got the phone call from Mazzara telling her she was going to die she was given permission to tell 2 people (her husband and mother). Apparently, she was adamant not to be made into a zombie. So the thought was to use a "stand-in" for her. Somewhere along the way, that changed, as you could tell from the episode, and you saw what we got,..a hot mess of a scene that didnt make too much sense. When the scene was described to me, I was told that Rick finds the scene of Lori's death but she isn't there, hears some moaning and sees a thick blood trail that ends at a bloated/fat zombie which could have been a stand-in for SWC.

Well so much for making a quick post about the situation, but keep in mind, nothing is final until it airs. And of course if you don't want to be spoiled then don't click on the spoiler tags. I gain nothing out of this, I post here first to give theRPF exclusive info then wait a day or so before it gets funneled to other sites.

That's a pretty good explanation I didn't look at it that way, but come on wouldn't a Zombie taking a dump be hilarious! :popcorn:popcorn:lol.

Exactly. As long as the spoiler tag is used, anyone who WANTS to read them can go ahead. After that point, well, you've got no one to blame but yourself for reading it.



Now then, on the subject of the zombie digestive tract, I'd say that there must be something going on with the need to consume flesh, and which keeps the zombies "alive." Somehow they remain ambulatory in spite of what you'd expect with muscle atrophy and the physiological results of starvation.


Here's my guess. The zombie "virus" results in a rewrite of the subject's DNA such that the body starts producing some enzyme or somesuch which can, in a limited fashion, break down organic matter (meat) and turn it into fuel for the zombie. This process will slow decomposition to a standstill -- as long as the zombie can continue to consume food. Otherwise it slows decomp to a very very slow rate, but one which still progresses. This is why, over a year after the outbreak, the zombies are still wandering about in a decomposing state. Decomp must be continuing, but it must be doing so at an incredibly slow rate. Slower when the zombie gets food. If the zombie goes dormant (eg, as a "lurker") it conserves energy and slows the process further. So zombies just standing or lying around are able to continue functioning for years, perhaps even decades. But the theory would be that EVENTUALLY you could outlast a zombie. Trouble is, you aren't outlasting just ONE zombie. And as soon as that zombie gets food, it slows the process further.
 
I don't think anyone in this thread was bashing tou at all. I certainly qasn't. The spoilers are appreciated. I'm just not going to read them anymore because I want to try being surprised for a change.
 
I also don't think anyone was complaining too seriously about the spoilers. Spoilers are easy enough to avoid if one chooses..
Speaking for myself I wasn't complaining in my last post, just having some silly fun with the spoiler tag.
I am a spoiler junkie and cannot wait for the next fix!
