    It is interesting that we now have the gas coming from the tunnel...

    Going way back to when ground zero was first encountered by Victor and Pegs, we speculated that it might be an area denial weapon. A defensive measure to keep things away from a valuable facility. When Victor and Saul go back, they do not notice any animals, they see undisturbed dead bodies, even the trees were brown. They also observed blood stains indicating previous violence. CJ later states that one of her explores may have been changed by the gas exposure. @@ On an aside, I still think CJ sabotaged the tanks. She explicitly tells Saul which color tank to use! If there was no difference a priori, why assign a color? @@

    We get additional complexity when Victor and Tanya go back the gas is gone and the area is more normal. However, the gas returns shortly after Tanya's gunshot. So, was the localized tremor and gas release just chance coincidence or a defensive measure? Fast forward to the present, the tunnel entrance that Michael, Victor and Datu used is now closed and the tunnel they are at now has gas. So, again, is this a defensive measure or just chance?

    Yeah, like a giant underground worm being fed flesh and farting z-gas. Tunneling underground. Does tin rust?

    Maybe the tunnels go all the way to the ocean and Saul's squid will show up. Kraken vs. Mega Worm! With a special appearance by some wizard kid who summons a bunch of rabid shark by using a tornado spell in a musical interlude.

    I toss out the toxoplasmosis as an example in real life that infects human and affects behavior. We still have a really small sample size. Three people choke, two do not. The two that do not have genetics, exposure to a recently turned and being a vet. I put Saul in the vet, because I got the feeling He spent a lot of time there.
    That's a good point! It would help to explain why some people were turned and others were just used for food. Perhaps the disease/antibiotics/immunizations/etc. made people less likely to turn and those were the ones that the zombies just ate. Somewhere in the beginning of the series (I'll have to go dig it out) one of the characters asks about this very thing. How do they decide who to turn and who to eat?

    Perhaps the type of immunizations (I'm just going to go with that one for now) also affected how quickly people turned. Maybe those that were the slow turners had lower levels of the antibodies in their systems to start with.

    I know this still doesn't explain how things started but perhaps it does fill in one of the big gaps in how we've seen the zombies treat people.

    Personally I think its sole purpose is to create tremendous guilt within Michael which will lead to and motivate some future action.

    Eventually, he is reason we got our beloved broken arm story.

    I'll just put that to rest. She didn't sabotage them. She wanted information, and she wouldn't get that if they died.
