The Little One's

As part of the "rapid mutation" theory, it's worth noting that in 7-3 when Zombies were being tagged with the trackers, they VERY quickly built up a tolerance to the chloroform that was being used.

its mutation, evolution takes reproduction

I acknowledge the error, but with these little ones, who's to say that they aren't the result of reproduction? In the behemoths we've already seen examples of rapid growth, and zombies breeding with each other could serve to expedite such a process even further. These little ones are a recent addition and their prior absence from the stage could be due to their recent births.

definitely possible, kind of a scary thought too

Evolution = mutation + survival benefit which allows for greater reproduction. So, how does the zombie virus...mutagen...alien population control...whatever it is know what a good direction to mutate in is?

Does it constitute as necrophilia? 'Cause that's just wrong, y'know

But she said it was the smallest one she'd seen yet. She didn't describe it as a kid or kid sized. I wish they'd describe them in greater detail. Lots of them have to be naked now what with all the changing of shape. Are they male/female? What does their skin look like? their eyes? their teeth? Maybe KC is avoiding giving too much away or maybe it's just part of the general trend I've seen in writing away from physical descriptions.

I try to imagine the appearances a lot too, but I think that's part of the fun. It lets your mind be creative. But I'm thinking they are kids too

I have to say that I'm having the hardest time getting the mental image of Chuckie out of my head with the little ones. I realize it's not true, but I see in my head Chuckie's arm bouncing around the truck right now

I keep seeing a larger version of the "It's Alive" babies.

Yeah, I get that, but I feel like there's too little for me to form a mental picture. Anyone else think they are going to either find something out about the zombies from that arm; or, it's going to make someone into a zombie?
