The book of knowledge is pretty funny. I guess there's no libraries anymore. And the van drives around which the savoirs always miss.

Pretty sweet van though.

Tonight's episode is two hours, if any of you are taping it.

ETA: My bad, just one hour. The listing in my local paper was wrong.

And one hour was about 55 minutes too long.

So Carl gets bit and takes several days to turn, but everyone wounded by the contaminated weapons turns in a few hours.

Where was Father Gabriel? The absurd script could have used some shots from his weird eyes, and then he could have directed return fire using his acute hearing skills.

And what about the kid asking who killed his brother? Didn't Daryl already tell him it was Gavin and later the kid speared him in the throat? Yeah, kids have a short attention span, but how did he forget that?

So after watching 7 seasons of people being bathed in zombie blood, with no ill effects, are we being told getting zombie matter in the bloodstream is fatal?

Right? A lot of the plot in earlier seasons revolved around them “camouflaging” themselves in zombie entrails...

As he threw the rifle away, I'm yelling "No mags?!"

Turns out I was wrong, Rick switched to his hatchet and was more effective.

Whenever I conjure a mental image of Rick's face, it's usually splattered, or covered with blood.

In some of the episodes, they took precautions to prevent contact with skin. I believe in Season 1 when they were trapped in Atlanta and Rick and Glen camouflaged with guts, they wore rain coats. When Alexandria was overrun, they wore ponchos. I even seem to remember them using some face shields at one point to prevent spatter in the eyes when chopping up walkers.

In Negan's plan, they aren't just getting blood and guts on them, they were getting contaminated wounds. Like with a lot of contaminants, skin will provide an effective barrier to prevent infection. But with the weapons coated and causing wounds, the contamination gets into the bloodstream.

But with the issue of why Carl took days to die, but these wounded turned quickly, I got no answer.

Wasn’t it explained in season 1 when they were at the CDC that the amount of time it takes to turn varies from person to person.

Far be it for me to defend the stupidity on TWD, but could it be that being contaminated by walker saliva takes one longer to die, as in Carl’s case, whereas getting walker blood into a contaminated wound causes much quicker death?

It mainly varies according to the dramatic needs of the screenwriter.

The contaminated blood is complete shit, one season they can take a bath in it and the next season it turns you? Honestly don't know why I bother, I complain the whole episode about all the stupid shit i.e no sights, unlimited ammo, perfect headshot etc. I'm not sure how my wife handles all my complaints Big Grin
