Walking Dead Season 2

[OLS]

I am not saying it's easily transferable, I am saying that things are starting to glob together in a clue-like fashion.
I have no idea what the contagion factor is not to mention a lack of desire to know, lol. A lot of times you have
plot quirks that are simply there to give the producers a way out of certain situations and into other plot paths.
Lost was littered with them, and most of them turned out to be useless BS. Edit a scene here, add a line there, and
you unlock these sleepers for your use in the show. Another example is this apparent speeding up of zombies.
I mentioned the movie The Dead earlier in the thread, and one thing I can say about that movie, the zombies never
once moved faster than a dragging shamble in the entire 2 hour movie. And yet they were still menacing. But here
in TWD, they seem to be newly invigorated....why? And again, I need to re-watch some stuff, see if they actually
are speeding up or NOT. It seems to me that if Shane and Otis had faced these sprinting zombies at the school,
both of them would be dead now.

I think you guys are putting too much thought into the fact that the zombies seem to be moving faster. Here's my theory about that: the director decided it would be more tense if the zombies could actually catch up to people. I'm seriously doubting it will have anything to do at all with the storyline.

Did you notice the pile of burnt bodies as well? Why would they be burning bodies? My thought is that everyone is already infected with the virus and if you die no matter what the cause of death then you become a zombie. It seems a little too coincidental that they would work it into the script that there are no bite marks on those zombies. It has to be part of the storyline.

Well, Mikey, I think you are more than likely RIGHT, however, I IMAGINED that the Producers/Director ''
had more 'integrity' and would stick with the precedent set initially, so therefore it HAD to be significant,
but in the end I am sure you are right...and looking for some directorial consistency in Hollyweird is asking
a bit too much, I guess. Looks like we will have to see how it progresses.

By Hollywood rules, if they shot a scene like that, and used it, it's most definitely going to be
important, and it will be a game changer for the most part. A paradigm shifter to put it like the
cliche' artists say. Interested to see how it plays out. Of course the cops did not die from
bullets, nor scratches, so what was their cause of death?

I think if the walkers getting faster was a plot issue then it would be more obvious like Rick would say "sheet! These walkers are getting faster!"

Maybe the cops poisened themselves? Hard to say. I just think it's very interesting that there were burnt bodies and that the camera was very specific about focusing on them.
