    See, but that can't be true because they pretty much told this one dude that there was nothing they could do for him because he had a scratch. They're still trying to play the "if a zombie bites you" card because it contributes to the fear of zombies, but they also wanted the added drama of people coming back from the dead even if they weren't bitten. It's pretty stupid.

    It would seem that bites and scratches are fatal as a result of infection/fever. Swinging axes and sledgehammers around and spraying blood Manga style is apparently not a concern. The show has been a bit cloudy when it comes to dying vs. being infected. Mostly because the show isn't well written.

    Heh.... yeah, that would make a lot of sense.

    Zombie bites you, you might get an infection and die, CUT HIS LEG OFF!

    Also, bonus points to the writers for, two episodes into the new season, having Karl run off on his own unbeknownst to Lori, as usual. They heard the complaints about Lori during the off-season and doubled-down on her being completely inept.

    I don't think I've ever wanted anyone to die on TV as much as Karl. I hate that kid.

    And he's trying to get it on with a chick that's at least six to eight years older than him!

    She's supposed to be like 16 but immature. Thankfully they've decided to make Daryl asexual. Everyone's favourite character and he spends every episode pointing his crossbow at people and stomping off in anger/frustration.

    I haven't found an exact age, but she graduated from college in 2006... so if she was 22 at that time, she'd be 28.

    I've never had so much trouble finding an age for an actor. It's like they're intentionally hiding it.

    Yup. That's about the only thing anyone can find on the web that would indicate an age. Someone was even saying that when asked about her age, her response was, "over 18."

    It's not really surprising to me because I'm 31 and people think I'm somewhere between 20 and 22 years old. Some people just look extremely young. The real question is how old she's supposed to be on the show.

    She was married. I guess she could be 16, but I never got that impression. I was thinking 18 to 20 originally.

    Dunno if it is meant to be the same as the comic or not. Beth seems to be an amalgam of Rachel and Susie. Presumably she's between Karl and Glenn in age, supposing Glenn is younger than Maggie.

    Jimmy was just her boyfriend though right? And not even a serious one?

    Husband. She made a comment on the show that she had only been dating him for three months before they were married, and then insinuated that she didn't really love him.

    All this talk about relationships is really satisfying stuff -- can we maybe start a men's group so that we can do this more regularly?
