i think you're right, but my preferred diet would still be vegan and canned goods if I could swing it. And I'd be chewing on squirrels with Daryl before canibalizing even if it was the governor or hitler or somebody evil.
But bites seem to turn people into zombies much quicker, right? So if someone is bit they have a higher dose of the infection? And maybe infected meat would also?
Your post just raised a ton of questions, I was thinking it was for sure that eating infected meat would start turning the eater.
They are already infected right now aren't they? They turn when they die, bitten or not. Am i imagining this? It's just a different level of infection. Eating the meat might be a gray area in between.
Another question - is it worse to be killed and eaten by a zombie or some random group of cannibals?
I think Rick was right - the cannibals needed to be destroyed; they are just as deadly as the walkers, but have enough intelligence that they are a more dangerous predator.
He probably had it all figured out. If nothing else we know the actor playing Bob couldn't have liked his chances as he read these first two $cripts Time for his agent to earn his percentage.
For anyone who has read this far into the comics, is it there? I know there was a scene very similar to this in the first season of The a Walking Dead video game, so just curious if this got it's cue from the cannon graphic novel or if it got it from the video game.
they don't cooperate as you knife them in the eyes safely from behind a chain link fence.
The whole terminus thing is not in the comics. It's actually a ton like the novel/movie "The Road" though.
the only thing remotely like the comic plot right now is the preacher who they just came upon, and Eugene/army type guys. Some characters who die on tv are major players way past in comics and vice versa.
So, did it occur to anyone else how casually we're all sitting around discussing what might happen when you chomp on a living, sentient human being? Kinda makes my skin crawl....
More like would you eat somebody with rabies or mad cow disease. Ew! Even cannibals have to pass on that.
Yeah, at least two different story lines are set up to show you better be killing the bad guys when you have the chance. Which could make for some pretty intense episodes the remainder of the season. I'm trying to figure out what is up with Morgan right now. I could see that character going different directions.
Not the actual Terminus part. I meant more the idea of amputation of a living human to eat and keep alive and more fresh so as not to turn into a zombie and ruin perfectly good human meat.
Closest that I know of is Hershal's leg that was Dale's leg in the comics but both times they lived by amputating the bite limb ASAP.
So it sounds like this idea likely came from the video game. I haven't seen any of this season yet, but it sounds strikingly similar to the farm scene in the game.
I don't think there is a chance that Bob knew Gareth or was with the Terminus people at one point. None of Bob's actions would make sense if that were the case. I think Gareth knew Bob's name because they'd been hunting them, for at least one full day. Remember Daryl felt someone watching him the night before they found the preacher. If the cannibals were stalking the group from a distance there would be lots of opportunity to catch a name.
