crackpot theories and thoughts

[7oddisdead]

ive had several sierra Nevada torpedos this evening, so im revisiting this thread.

we're nearing the end of the story, so to speak. that makes me look at things we could possibly discuss in this thread.

ground zero
the little ones/ink
the family/durai/scratch/angel
just exactly what the virus is

for tonight, ill be visiting the virus.

many of us on here in the early days of the story took note of the "ant theory". there's also the pack mentality of individual groups of zoms "hunting". then we have the hive mentality of all the zoms seemingly behaving on group commands.

ive put forth the idea before of a fast forward evolution idea, and I still stand by that idea. without delving to deeply into ground zero or what happened there, lets assume that whatever came from the ground there is foreign to anything we as humans know/have known/will know.
now, if we are to analyse what a foreign body, on a viral level could do. given the opportunity to go through the proper evolutionary chains..it only makes sense to go through all the chains retaining the parts they find most valuable to the continuence of their existence. this leads me to believe that given enough time, the "undead" would reach a point where they have returned to being simply human. the final stage of evolution. jeez, if that is allowed to happen....its like hell on earth. a planet of nothing but the greatest of predators. while I don't believe the story has any sort of underlying social statements like many zombie stories do...its hard to ignore things like that. what does it say about us as a species on this planet, when the greatest group of killers are evolving toward a point of being.... human....again?

have a wild idea? put it here...the more the merrier

edit*
just wanted to note, theres only 3 threads above this one as far as views go in theory threads(@ 9500+ as of this typing). im very proud of that fact. bout a hundred more and its no. 3 couple hundred more and its no. 2 putting right under whos the rat v2.0...that tells me a lot of us are crazy here, its not just me...im ok with that
