The biggest question people have whenever it comes to zombie-related media is how it all started. What makes people come back to life after they’ve died? Across so many different zombie-related stories there’s always a different answer, or maybe more commonly, there’s no answer. So how did The Walking Dead deal with the virus origin?

The CDC episode hit different for me. It had a depth to it. It's really the only time where the "enemy" of the show isn't random human settlements and gangs or walkers, the enemy is hopelessness in this episode. Jenner wants to blow them all up because he is out of hope, if the group runs out of hope, they never break out of there and just commit suicide, I'm pretty sure the black woman (I forget her name) chooses to end her own life despite of all of it. It's a great episode.

I would say the first episode with a human group antagonist is Vatos, when Rick, Daryl, Glenn, and T-Dog encounter a group of Hispanic survivors protecting the elderly residents of a group home while retrieving Rick’s bag of guns from Atlanta. Obviously that conflict resolved peacefully but it was the first time inter-group conflict appears on the show, and it establishes important themes that appear later.

This episode and plot point about the virus wasn’t really ever supposed to exist. I guess the original creator of the comics never wanted to go into the origins of the virus or cdc or any of that which is why is it wasn’t in the comics. The show runners did though. After this episode was released I guess they came to some sort of agreement they would leave it at that and not go into it anymore. Which is why they only just somewhat recently picked up the plot point again in FTWD

I think it was a good thing. Since Rick wasn't around for the beginning, neither were we. We got so much information about the infection and how the walkers work. I always appreciated that knowledge, especially when the spin-offs and games have characters that seem to think the walkers are more than the walking corpses they are.

Sophia is a drunk! I mean with her father being Ed I wouldn’t be surprised if she was exposed to alcohol a lot as a child. Maybe in Season 2 when she goes missing she finds alcohol and gets drunk which impairs her judgement so she doesn’t go back to the highway and her drunken state caused her to get bit. That would be an interesting and funny theory! Otis could smell the stench of alcohol all over that strange child Walker when putting her into the barn.

I'd like to point out that in the flashback scene, people say that Shane put his head to Rick chest and was heartbroken that he couldn't feel a heartbeat. But I think itd make more sense that he did feel a heartbeat and was so disraught because he knew he'd have to leave his best friend behind knowing he was still alive. I know he tells Lori that he didn't feel one, but its still fun to think about. It's probably setting Rick up to be immune. He died and was reanimated only he came back as himself and not a walker.

18 Miles Out is one of my favorite episodes to rewatch. The dynamic between Rick and Shane, the brutal fight, creepy Randall, Shane thinking Rick had abandoned him in the bus to the joyous moment that he sees Rick pull up to get him, all the way to the end of the episode, as Shane sees the same lone walker in the field that he saw on the way 18 Miles out. Very symbolic of what was to come.

I think given the constant change of direction in The Walking Dead Universe, they didn't play their hand too early. The writers had a different direction, mainly Frank Darabont. He envisioned the implementation of variants during the early stages of production. Due his leave, they had to pick up the pieces and decided to shift towards more of the "people are more dangerous than the walkers" route. Obviously, people would still be dangerous in Darabont's iteration, but he would've further elaborated on the dangers of walkers in my opinion. That being said, the groundwork was laid out for a potential cure that they could explore in France. The real question is if Darabont remained, how do you think the show would've differed?

I hope they are reunited with whomever is left from the first 3 seasons and the kids.

The way the episode frames the CDC as this perfect place only for it to steadily break down kind of mimics the effect the virus has on TS-19’s brain. It starts off beautiful and vibrant, every part of it fully functional and working only for those necessary functions to steadily fail and become a shell of its former self. The lights literally went out, just like TS-19

I love this episode because I took the whole thing as them in Limbo or purgatory (having so much happiness but also so much sadness). When the doors open to the facility it’s super bright like what is described when you die with the bright light and all. They are told when they get in they stay in and that’s that. Rick and everyone start to have their own things going on like Shane trying to speak with Lori, Andrea and Dale, Rick and Jenner all confronting different types of demons. When they find out everything about the facility it comes down to Jenner saying that them dying would be quick and painless and how it is most likely the best option in the apocalypse. While most of the others wanted to leave and live even though they were told that isn’t much of a life anymore. But Rick argues that something is better than nothing and all they want is a choice. Jenner finally lets the ones who want to go out go. All them wanting to live or die for different reasons. Andrea feels she has nothing and lost it all meaning she has no purpose. Dale doesn’t want to die, but he doesn’t wanna leave Andrea alone cause he wants to help her so he’s willing to die with her but did get her to leave. Jenner stayed because he felt living in that world was a worse fate than dying an instantaneous death. Jacqui felt it was sane to stay and die because she wasn’t built for that type of world and considering the state of things it was the most humane way to die because of how quick and painless it is. Carol wants to live so she can protect her daughter and Lori I’m sure wants the same thing for Carl Including Rick. Shane Probably wanted to live so he could have Lori and Carl. The ones who left found reasons to live and the ones who stayed found reasons to die. Rick thanks Jenner but Jenner wasn’t going to let Rick leave ignorant about it and replied with the name of the episode glenn and Abe die. “The day will come when you won’t be”. He then informs Rick more about the Virus and how it works to what he knew. The reaction Rick gave was that of someone who discovered no hope to a situation where they to their core believed there was hope. Rick was so stunned Lori even had to help pull him away because he was so stunned. Rick and the others leaving not realizing that in the grand scheme of it all Jenner went through far less Pain,Regret,Sorrow than anyone else would. There was no right answer it was a simple matter of pick your poison. It was also a matter of “put yourself into this situation, what is the choice you would pick”. At that point in time it’s easy to say live, but then you get all the way up to season 8 or even just Negan and you have to ask yourself again would you have been better off dying back at the CDC. I feel like you’re supposed to ask you self that after each event major event. They did play cards too early IMO because some connections didn’t show back up until like a few years ago maybe not even and they were short and small plus you would have to remember this episode to understand or even remember what happens with connecting stuff later on. But I feel that to get the feeling the episode gave me it had to go that way. I really do hope Jenner has a full and proper connection with the Daryl show eventually cause that is without a doubt their best opportunity for it.

Facts. When Jenner mentioned France, I knew it would have some importance to it later on and they’re using it in the form of a spin-off. You can look at it from both sides tho. Yes they played their cards too early, and no they didn’t. Yes because now TWD has to come up with great ideas to keep the show interesting, and like u said, you would have to remember this episode later on as reference for the show to make sense. And no because now as the viewer, you develop a deeper liking for each character as they embark on a journey to survive knowing that there’s nothing out there. You feel as though you don’t want anything bad to happen to each character in the following episodes, but when it inevitably does, it hits you in such an emotionally dissatisfying way lol.

I remember being very pissed off at Andrea for not telling the Governor that his daughter was already dead and the corpse he was trying to restore, is not her. Andrea knew about what Jenner said, and she saw footage of the zombification process too. And as Jenner puts it, The person bitten is, "Just a shell driven by mindless instinct" That was something the Governor should've been told. Would it have made a difference? Maybe, maybe not.

That was cause Frank Darabont no longer worked on the seasons past halfway through Season 2. Frank Darabont had alot of ideas and aspirations to make the Walkers more than just fleshy generic beat sticks that the gang roll through in droves, they were supposed to have flashbacks and buildup to them which is why the Purple Suit Walker had an odd amount of screen time. The Tank Walker (played by Sam Witwer) Rick kills was supposed to have a full flashback to the war in Atlanta to show how he ended up in there for example. But pretty much all of his ideas for Season 2 got cut as well as Franks budget which is not only why he left but also a very likely cause of why Dale died when he did since the actor that played Dale was friends with Frank and they went on to work on a different movie together

Hot take: The best zombie apocalypse stories don't ever have an origin for the virus, they simply throw a bunch of speculative ideas around, from nature, to government conspiracy, to aliens or some sort of paranormal stuff. The lack of a conclusive answer helps with the immersion of the initial idea for what the modern zombie is based on: the idea of it being an emergency disaster. Everyone has presumptions, nobody has answers, and finding answers is something to wait until the crisis is over with. It mimics how catastrophies across the globe always go, and it works for both the viewer and the people in the movie, as the viewer,much like a spectator viewing the disaster from a different state will speculate and blame, the person in the movie will have to endure regardless, and while the question might cross their mind, trying to survive is still the primary goal. When an answer is given, this kind of goes out the window from the viewer's perspective and you're left with ONLY people trying to survive, and there's less overall to work with, because no longer do you have more ways to add natural conversation for the survivors to talk about that allude to the origins (thus fueling speculation) but the viewer will feel as though they know the answer to a question everyone is asking, and feel frustrated whenever the topic is broached in the show. It forces the show to just accept the details as a normal part of life, which at first sounds good, but when they accept it as the new normal, the disaster aspect vanishes. It NEEDS to feel like a freak occurrence. Something that, in theory, can be fixed down the line. Otherwise the story just plods along.

to be fair it felt pretty natural hearing this, and it is only revealed to rick in 1x06, we learn about it in 2x13. but knowing if you die not from a walker but still turn grounded the series in a good way. if we didnt get that they would be a lot more limited with what they could do.

I would like you to cover The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1 What Lies Ahead next, it was an extremely impactful first episode of a Season, a herd of Walkers on the highway nearly wiped out the group, Sophia went missing and died off screen with a large and fruitless search for her beginning, Carl was shot in that episode at the end, and Rick began his journey as the group’s leader heading gradually into the darker direction he would end up later on. It was towards the end of his Officer Friendly days.

We would adapt. We would develop new cultural rituals and traditions to counter it. Like, one of the most likely reasons why our ancestors began burying their dead hundreds of thousands of years ago was probably to prevent the dead body from spreading disease and attracting predators. And now, hundreds of thousands of years later, burying the dead is pretty much instinctual. Similar things would arrise. Whether that's developing a ritual around isolating a person once they reach a certain age then just waiting for them to die naturally before destroying their brain or maybe even just straight up systematically executing the old and sick once they begin to show signs that they're going to die. Maybe, after enough generations, a combination of the zombie virus becoming less lethal and humans becoming more resistant will make it so that it's much less of a threat. There's no point trying to add logic to TWD's zombie virus though because it's literally some black magic voodoo shit. I like the idea that heaven and hell are full, and so the dead have nowhere to go.

@@Dushmann_ No, the covid outbreak proved that we can't even handle the body counts from a disease with a .06% mortality rate. Also, diseases evolve faster in asymptomatic hosts... which would be the entire surviving WD population. Don't write me any more high school essays that ignore the fact that almost every piece of undead fiction, from vampires to zombies, actively avoid stepping into the logical cow patty that is an unstoppable infection spreading exponentially.

I actually appreciate that they "played their cards" this early, so to speak: a lot of shows try to keep mystery alive so much that they run themselves in senseless circles that don't make sense. By defining the virus early, the entire universe has this moment to turn back to and therefore can't make themselves go completely out of hand without retconning it altogether. I think of shows like Pretty Little Liars or Supernatural where certain mysteries put the writers in an endless annoying loop that got tiresome.

I liked how this was the big divergence from the comics. It makes sense on a cinematic level that we have to get something explained - and I don't think the cards were played too early. I just think that what was known at the start of the outbreak versus what is known years later can definitely change. If you haven't done the season 4 premiere I'd like to hear your thoughts on that - especially given the popularity of the walking dead by then, compared to other season premieres both past and present, etc.

As someone from Georgia, I always found it amusing how they tried to pass off the Cobb Energy Center (a performance venue) as the CDC. Sure the exterior looks vaguely similar to the CDC building, but to my eyes the lobby is clearly intended for lines of theatergoers and red carpet events while some of the hallways are obviously dressing rooms. I assume most of the actual “high tech facility” stuff was shot on a set.
