      Because the ‘plandemic’ shots destroy the ‘human’ part of the brain leaving only the Reptilian brain intact. It was an obvious clue on the scan’s of Jenners wife’s brain. Jenner SAID ‘this is an extinction level event’. You saw ‘who’ blew up the cities. Right? Good ol USAINC. Ppl are blind not to see this. They SHOW you who did it & why. No one even asks WHO blew up the cities? Shot’s and bomb’s were to facilitate the planned NWO Zombie Apocalypse. Zombie’s came from dying in the bombings. They’re ‘required’ tell you what they’re doing. Most ppl can’t see through the ‘fiction’ because most ppl, 99% are hypnotized by the lies on MSN & state education. ZA is scripted to happen on the 3rd & 4th Dimension’s. Stop eating meat, flesh and blood, anything with a heart and set your intention to raise your frequency OUT of those Dimension’s to the 5th Dimension. Then seek TRUTH. You’ll find it. This is the only escape and YOU are a Player. If you got vaxxed you can transmute it by decree.

      They do decompose, and you see a handful of almost completely decomposed ones throughout the show in random episodes, but I think there's just a constant refresh of the supply of fresh zombies (live humans constantly dying off all the time and all over the place) that we only see them halfway decomposed

After a year their bodies must barely be able to hold themselves together. Probably why humans are the main antagonists and zombies are just part of the setting towards the end. Soon no more hordes of zombies to threaten communities bec they can’t even move.

      A "28 Days Later" with a "Rage.Virus" that makes people insane (Biogenetic engineering of a virus.) might be possible, but it taking seconds was idiotic.
      It could be airborne, but a few hours to day is much more likely than "5 seconds to Instant Psycho" like the movie says.
      The Dead are dead. A corpse rots. Muscles move because they have energy. How is a nonbeating heart, and rotting muscle and flesh providing energy?
      It's preposterous, and you know it. A story can have it though, that's why it's "fiction".
      Whether that fiction works, and you have a believable story is another thing.

I figure they could probably explain it as something to do with the effects of the virus trying to keep the host alive long enough to infect multiple new hosts. I don't know if that would be a good enough answer for most so they just don't talk about it. Ooooh 28 days later sounds interesting then I have to take a look at it myself

    When Kirkman was shopping the comic series around, no companies were interested. Until he told Image Comics that "...aliens did it."
    They were intrigued. They gave the books a chance.
    Then, the EIC at Image asked Kirkman when the aliens would appear, he said something along the lines of "next chapter. Or the next after that, depend of the story progression."
    And Kirkman successfully held off the issue for long enough that the series no longer needed the "aliens" angle.

    A potential storyline that was abandoned stated that Strand from Fear The Walking Dead knew of the origins of the disease. It was stated in the first season. If you remember, he was NEVER afraid of Walkers and knew how to easily manipulate them before anyone else did and he even knew that everyone on the planet was already infected. If we trace the timeline, that was before the CDC knew. And why was he detained at the temporary hospital in the first place? It was even stated in his character Wiki that he knew more about the virus than anyone else at the time. I think that should be further explored.

    "Space spore" is also a bit of a callback to the 1968 original 'Night of the Living Dead'; in that flick, scientists theorized that the zombies are because of radiation from a space probe that exploded in Earth's atmosphere on its way back from Venus. It's also a reference to 'The Andromeda Strain', both the book by Michael Crichton and the film.

    Fun facts: Kirkman was originally pitched the walking dead visual novel with the concept of outer space alien that turn human into zombie (or something like that), in hope to appeal to the publisher back then. But when it finally approved, Kirkman true intention was to focus on the surviving the post-Apocalypse zombie world aspects all along. So in away, Kirkman "scammed" the publisher, but it turned out to be a hit.

    I have a short story in my collection that is post apocalypse. It is sixty years after the war. It started with civil unrest and riots, followed by 3 pandemics, each worse than those before. Finally, a scientist named Ray Wilder developed an airborne retrovirus that actually STRENGTHENED the hosts. Unfortunately, it eventually mutated and pesticide resistant insects caused world wide famine. The US eventually developed crops that resisted the insects but it was too late. Other nations demanded the United States SHARE it's food supplies (since Wilder, sponsored by the US, created the retro virus that had CAUSED the famine), but were denied. That's when the missiles were launched. The Wilder virus continued to mutate, carrying genetics from species to species. Spiders the size of ponies were not unheard of. One isolationist island conducts a lottery during lean years to cut down the population. The story centers on a young man seeking to escape the island and survive. (Thanks - author Steve Witcpalek)

    In TWD they(Rick) got told in the CDC that everyone Carrie's the virus which activates once they die. But what they didn't explain if this was a dormant virus which finally woke up or if it was a pathogen that escaped a Bio Lab.

  • @cbbuntz

    The publisher told Kirkman that the premise of TWD was "too normal" so Kirkman just told the publisher that maybe the virus was caused by aliens, which is how he convinced them to publish it in the first place, and then he just never addressed that point.

      Zombies aren't everything during a zombie apocalypse. People are also a threat too. You can't tell me that you expect everyone to just trust and not kill each other. There are gon a people out there who will kill others, either out of desperation or just cause they can. Like Negan and the Saviors.

      The audio drama "we're alive" keeps the zombies evolving with the story, they eventually have to deal with other humans but the zombies are always a threat. It started in 2009 so early recordings sound kainda weird. But story wise its good. The zombies are freaky af, they run too.

    How disappointing. I always liked the theory how cryogenics would have been responsible. When they revived someone from being frozen using the enzymes to rebuild their body after freezing, that would cause a mutation of one of the person's genes into the virus itself, being asymptomatic, and transmissable while the person was alive, and after the person passed they would revive.

    I used to have a theory that everyone has an inert, unsympathetic version of the virus that when you die, becomes activated. Whereas if you get bitten by someone that already has the activated version, that virus will thus be activated in you, explaining how you become zombie when die normally and also when simply bitten/scratched by a walker.

      I think it’s mostly that zombies aren’t like us, we understand pain. We know when something hurts and when to stop.

So it makes them able to do stuff like that I guess. I could be wrong, but I would like to hear your opinion on it. So I can understand your point of view a bit more.
