I liked my old theory that the virus has an evolutionary effect on its host.

Re-listening to chapters 16 & 17, and a few things jump out at me:
Under-water zeds. How do they fit into this thing? If the zeds are still living beings, how were they able to stay underwater for...
Things seem to be pointing that way. So maybe "Typhoid Mary" isn't as off base as I initially thought. Now my question becomes, why has Tanya found no evidence of bacterial infection?
Going back to the "typhoid mary" thing:
Typhoid fever is bacterial in nature. So if our infection is bacterial, it would be possible to have an asymptomatic carrier. The "incubation period" of a...
DAT ROTATION.
(it doesn't have friction though :/)
Edit: on closer inspection though, It looks like Fpx Is friction.
I should really be working right now...
Here's something that just popped in my head regarding the Little Ones:
What happens if a pregnant woman is turned? Could it be possible that the little ones are a side effect of being exposed to...
The pathogen being released through fissures doesn't really jive with the order of events though, despite the incident of someone turning just from being there...
The infection started all over the...
Ok. So knowing this, could it be airborne? At least to some small degree?
You make a really good point here. Also, like you point out: they seem to originate around areas with highly educated people and not ground zero. This would further support that there is something in...
First, i'll apologize for explaining immunity. The way you had worded previous posts seemed to imply that you didnt fully understand it. that was a mistaken assumption on my part.
As for immunity...
What if each different zombie is a different strain of the original infection?
The vector is evolving with each infection, which creates these offshoot species. This would explain why jumpers...
What kind of time frame was it between the initial outbreak and first encounters with the DAHs in LA? Maybe they left hawaii before they could encounter any?
Witch_Doctor: Any thoughts on where those variants originated from? Let's not forget the runners and jumpers, and even TOWTM who DO seem to be previously human.
Of the ones that dont appear human...
Tar Heel:
The alcohol blocks out the smell of human pheramones. A scent camo most likely. Scent seems to be the primary sense for your typical biter, with human pheromones creating a kind of...
Rabies was my initial thought as well, but the specialization of certain Zeds seems to point to something else.
It's possible that ground zero has something to do with it, perhaps there is a third...
Seeing as i started it last month, i've been listening to it at work while drafting. Finished all three seasons in about a week.
They all definitely have their strengths, but i see that as more a missed opportunity for those characters. Why not set them up in a chain of command that best uses all their assets?
My heirarchy...
Again, crafty writing on Kc's part. We don't know if saul is unaffected by ground zero due to anibiotics or inheirant immunity. Adding to the mystery without giving anything away. It's really...
And really that's the whole point behind how it was written. It adds drama without removing any of the mystery. We can sit here and suppose all day but we really have zero information to actually go...
You seem to be confusing Zedism with blood poisoning. They are two separate things with two separate causes.
We are postulating that Zedism is virulent or bacterial in nature. This can't be...
Some examples:
Are they a smoker or non-smoker?
Did they ever eat anything special?
Were they exposed to chemicals/vapors/anything out of the ordinary?
How were they turned? Bite? Scratch? Guts...
P 2: This is essentially what i've been saying all along.
P 3: I understand your ideas on iron levels in his body & resistance to zedism. What im saying is that there really isnt enough...
Greetings all!
I am PhysicsLB, and a big fan of "We're Alive". I'm 28 and work full-time as a CAD design drafter for an automotive company. As such, I spend alot of time at a PC almost every day....
I thought it used d100? That's quite a bit different from D&D/Pathfinder d20. I really want to check it out but its blocked at work and i keep forgetting to do it at home... :/
Yeah i had totally forgotten about that...not really sure i want to know how/why he learned it...
