I agree on the two different strains/types of the virus explanation - kind of like HIV/AIDS. The bite from an actively infected carrier triggers the dormant virus - that's a simple but satisfactory explanation for it.

I do enjoy the show But I think its about more than just the gore and graphic imagery. They do need to carry the storyline towards answering the big question you mentioned, md - where the virus originated and how it got out.
See but I feel like they are at the point where the show is beyond repair in terms of big picture things. Yeah, they can keep progressing the story but the only way they could get us to REALLY buy in is by killing off 90% of the characters they have now and starting off with better actors/characters. If they could at least get us to buy into the characters then they could drive a real story beyond upping the ante in terms of killing zombies.

I like what they've done with Michone so far and we will see what comes of these ***SPOILERS*** new people they're about to meet in the prison.

I think that the single biggest **** up this show made was when they introduced those outsiders in the bar and didn't keep them around in some capacity. How good was that episode? How good were those scenes with the two guys from ?Philly? I think it was? The skinny guy stole every one of those scenes. He was such a good character and actor. Why couldn't they have kept him around in some capacity? Gotten more than one episode out of him? These are things the show needs to be doing to keep the story interesting. Because answering questions is going to take us down the LOST spiral. We don't want to go there... trust me.

I like that can of zombie worms good and open. I like all these questions As long as they don't take away from the show :P

I am genuinely surprised that no one's been zombified through blood in the eye ball (a la 28 Days Later?) or however else.

Isn't that what happens to most books?

Not all of them. I think High Fidelity is awesome in both novel and movie form for example.

But World War Z is written as a documentary/interview collection after a worldwide zombie outbreak and the narrator talks to countless people. There is no main protagonist, instead you plop down here and there all over the globe to "listen" to the stories of survivors and it's all woven together chronologically. The movie version will have a main protagonist during the start of the outbreak. If you were to properly convert the book to screen form you'd need at least a full 24 episode season on TV, probably double or triple that to tell it all. So World War Z will be raped thoroughly in the movie version.

I thought it had been revealed at one point in Season 2 that the current survivors were simply immune to the zombie virus; hence they survived the outbreak when everyone else died? I think it was made more of a genetics issue, as it has been in other movies as well.

No it just came out that they all have it and it just hasn't "manifested" is the best I can put it. So when ***SPOILER**** Shane gets killed he becomes one in minutes even though he wasn't bitten or anything.
