Chapter 19-2 Discussion

Pete!!!!!!!!!

I loled when the episode started. I know this will be a topic of discussion this week on WND.

Sounds to me like it was actually Marcus.

I'm not entirely sure it was, but it was hard to distinguish since it was hushed voices. But I doubt it was, because shovel-face would hardly have told Marcus the story again, unless Pegs' section was set before the whole thing happened.

[j0be]

Yeah, that does make sense. It was really hard to tell the distinguishing characteristics between the voice in the hush tone. There wasn't any stuttering, though. Also, he could have been just making sure Victor did what he was told to do.

[Ryzilient]

Perhaps, but it appears to be unlikely. I'll listen again and see if I can make any further conclusions, but I doubt Marcus, being the controlling figure he appears to be, would leave Victor off with Michael without being watched by someone immediately close to him.

I don't know what you guy think, but the most important think learned in this episode for me was the confirmation that animals can not get infected, no matter what. The dog bit a zombie girl, and no effect, so this "virus" can only be given to humans.

That was an interesting thing. I don't think it's been addressed, but do we know if the infected try to eat animals as well?

[Ryzilient]

That's actually a very interesting point. What exactly is it in animals that makes them immune? Also, does this mean that whatever caused this is built specifically for the human genome? If it was, it may mean this was a little more than an accident.

Well, the design may not be an accident, but the containment most likely was.

It still could have been the deployment, but IMO it wasn't.

[Ryzilient]

It just seems iffy to me that a virus that could cause this sort of destruction would be contained or tested in an area with such a high population density. That would be one of the only reasons I still think it wasn't really an accident, but it could still be. Speculation, speculation, speculation.

Man... I really like where this is going. I hate hearing "join us next week" blah blah
