Yarri...

I certainly apologize to you or anyone that might have been offended by my "date rape" comment. It was totally meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Weird too, yes, but the wife thinks I'm a little strange just because I'm always visiting a forum about a zombie apocalypse. I just tell her it is a story of survival. Which it is, only it has zombies doing the apocalypse part.

Of course you are right that Saul's "infection" was from the bullet and not Tommy's zombie blood. But at the time Burt shot him up to the point where he got the meds he needed to heal, nobody knew if he was staying human or turning zed. I really don't think he and Liz were fooling around at any time during his recovery or before she left the Tower.
I do have a soft spot in my heart for Saul. If he has truly found love Kc will no doubt bring it all together for the both of them in season 3 for sure. I'm just not jumping on the Liz is pregnant bandwagon. And I also agree with you that Kc so far has understated some of these relationships and when he does get into them, he does it with good taste. As I said before, no Harlequin novel for me.
