Bite of Scratch?

edited October 2012 in The Walking Dead
So I didn't see the walker bite Lee, and the wound honestly looks more of a scratch to me. I know this is like the "Oh the shot didn't kill Carley" thread.

After looking at his wrist it looks like a scratch maybe? Or hell maybe it is a bite.

Also if any mods see this please change title to "Bite or Scratch" I keep looking at my typo and its bugging the hell out of me.

    Yeah I also thought that it was just a scratch but since the next episode is called no time left I'm pretty sure it isn't.

    You DO see the zombie bite him. I think it's clearer if you select the trash pile, instead of the walkie. And those are teeth marks on his arm.

    It doesn't really matter. Both bite and scratches are deadly so...

    Unless it turns out that it was a good thing Lee was wearing his lucky watch or something.

    It didn't seem like the watch did a helluva lot to block the bite, lol..

    Zombie could have bit the watch, and been pulled up catching Lee's skin between the segments of the strap, then come back down as he got the zombie off. xd probably not though xD.

    Same here. Lee's great and all, but I think it would be quite poignant to have some drawn-out death scene. Hopefully the Team does us proud. By drawn out, I mean where everyone can say their last goodbyes and such. Not just 'Nice knowing ya!' 'BAM!'

    I've come to terms he is bit and gone after the next episode. But they have got to pull on the heart strings. I would be mad if Telltale didn't.

    The cop finishes his humorous story, Lee is successfully delivered to a jail cell, where he resides for a while until he's released for good behavior, ultimately becoming a better person as a result of the experience.

    Than gets another job as a professor at a college, though reluctant to hire him, do it anyway. A girl walks in on her first day to college as a freshman. Lee looks at the familiar curly hair and smiles. She's wearing a pink hoodie that says "Brooklyn" across it.

    Class starts and Lee begins roll call. He gets to the name "Clementine"

    The girl with curly hair and the pink Brooklyn hoodie raises her hand and says "Here!"

    "Come and see me after class, I wanna have a word with you", Lee replies in a gentle and warm manner.

    Yeah it's an artistic miscalculation. It was indeed a bite.

    Yeah, sadly a bite. The cappy is spilled with blood after the incident (it's "clean" before) and Lee even states that it's his blood if you show the bite.

    So Lee is done. And the "doctor" is the perv on the radio. I guess we have a new protagonist for season 2.

    Killing Lee will be a very gutsy move on the part of TT but why take a risk to introduce an entirely new character for season 2 when we are invested into Lee? A grown up Clem might work but that means jumping the story 8 to 10 years and I can't see that. Love it or hate, I will play episode 5.

    Ya I don't see the point of having a new protagonist. Just would be a hit or miss. And if every season they just kill everyone off what's the point?

    You can hear the walker chomp on his wrist so that pretty much erases all doubt about it not being a bite to me.

    thats why i know they won't kill Lee. Its the same reason they won't kill Rick


    No point in dragging a character through all that crap just to kill him off. then its just pointless.

    The one thing is they have said they knew the ending since they started episode 1. Before they even knew they would have a second season. So in my eyes the don't see what they're about to do. Poor Lee

    Kirkman said Rick's death is a possibility, in order to keep the story realistic. It might happen, it might not. Heck, maybe sacrificing Lee means Rick will live, since we now have a protagonist who's going to die.

    Yeah, no. He specifically states that he isn't Vernon - and why would he lie? He doesn't need to be dishonest at all; he has Lee by the short and curlies.

    No, it's not. The show can't kill Rick because it doesn't have the right to; the comicbook probably won't kill Rick because it's established him, painstakingly, over the course of years of hard work. On the other hand, TTG has established a character that is, for all intents and purposes, a complete throwaway. Think about it: his parents, his brother? Dead. Girlfriend? Wife? No. Kids? None. What is the only thing he has to take care of? Clementine. Once she's safe - or on the road to safety - Lee is, ostensibly, meaningless.

    Oh you know they won't kill lee do you? Even after being chomped on by a zombie you are SURE he will still not die? Lol

    His dead a zombie bite or scratch is death in the wd world, hell its death in most zombie films even if you cut the limb off.

    Its something to do with breaking the humans skin I assume?
    In the romero world zombie blood also kills you, sure it would in this as well from all the infections.
  • rachellouise85rachellouise85
    edited October 2012
    Yeah, I get the passing through broken skin. Always thought it was the bite, because the infection was passed from the saliva or something into your blood. Like if you had an open wound and the zombie drool, maybe blood, got in it, you would get the probably get infected too, but I haven't heard it being passed with a scratch.

    Well, in the show (haven't read enough of the comics to be sure, but I would assume it runs true for both), a CDC scientist states - I believe - that any skin-breaking contact with the infected, whether it's a bite or a scratch, will slowly kill the recipient. A really highly varying time window (between hours and days, usually) passes before they become feverish and fatigued. Eventually they lose consciousness and "die," for all intents and purposes - and are then reanimated as walking corpses, vis-a-vis the disease that all humans apparently have now.

    I don't believe it is written in the comics that scratches will also give you the infection. Unless I've missed a panel somewhere, (haven't read the latest one either) Keep meaning to watch the tv show. Just need to find the time, now the more I miss, the more time I need x)

    what I hate is that Lee CAN survive a zombie bite by amputating his arm, but it's too late for that now. Sucks, that he will probably die like that when he could've lived, but it's still pretty dramatic.

    Comics I believe have stated that you can't die from scratches.

    Damnit! I still wanna know Lee's back story. What the heck happen with the murder thing?

    Will he be on his death bed telling his life story while Clem looks on with a gun pointed at his head?

    Let the "Player" pull the trigger. Tis only right

    What if the bite is simply a plant to throw Lee off? I know it's a longshot, but who knows who could have been around while Lee was passed out in the study. My point is that the bite just doesn't look believable. I'm still skeptical on it's legitimacy, he could have had it the moment he woke up before going to the back yard..
