There is a crashed helicopter in the pharmacy... A CRASHED helicopter. How the hell does a zombie take down a helicopter?

    Or someone untrained tried to escape in it.

    Or it ran out of fuel and they crashed.

    Who let a dying guy pilot a helicopter? And died from what?

    Helicopters have been crashing long before this and many other games about zombies have been made.

    Shitloads of things might have happened and it's really pointless to speculate, because we have not even the slightest of relevant information about it. Hell, could have even been a suicide.

    I believe it was hinted the military was called in to quell the zombies. So I was led to the assumption this helicopter was meant for an assault.

    I believe it is, very little is known about the military involvement, did they die? Did they give up? Why has Lee or anyone else considered going to them for support. Also how contagious is this disease passed from biting, could it be the pilot was infected unknowingly.

    I just would like some thoughts

    Disease isn't passed from biting, the bites kill you, everyone else is infected trough air. At least it's most likely to be an airborne virus.

    They waited for the military at the motel for "3 months"

    The group didn;t go for military support because it was dangerous. At the motel at the end of Episode 1, they can hear the military fighting in the distance. And since a member of the group had just been killed by walkers, and the rest barely escaped with their lives, they probably didn't want to risk running into a trigegr happy unit of soldiers or another large group of walkers. The plan was to barricade the motel and wait for the military to roll through and sort everything out. By the time they realize the army isn't coming, they know it's probably too late to see assistance from them.

    That zombie was probably a pilot from the helicopter who just died without getting his brain destroyed.

    Or maybe, a person with a really high IQ died and therefore became a smarter zombie, who had a knack for operating heavy machinery. He did crash, but getting it off the ground is a huge achievement for a zombie on it's own.

    I'm sure The Helicopter Zombie is a hero and an icon among the undead community.

    • The helicopter could have run out of fuel.
    • The pilot could have died.
    • The pilot could have been bitten (and above).
    • There could have been a seriously wounded guy in the helicopter (above, and above x2).
    • The pilot didn't have enough experience to fly a helicopter.
    • The helicopter's engines could have failed.
    • Some other mechanical crap

    Got into fight = fight with walker? got bit? when he woke up he was sick from bite?

    That was our backstory at least! It seemed sensible enough.

    It'd be fun to do backstories for all of our side characters. We actually have a short script written for the backstory of Irene, the woman in the motel, written by Nick Herman and Sean Ainsworth (director of ep 4, lead cinematic artist of ep 5 respectively), but we never had the people free to produce it. Oh well!

    Of course with a walker. The classic early-zombie-apocalypse thing. "I got in a fight with some guy outside the bar last night and the fucker bit me!" Then you go to report in at work on the base the next day or maybe the day after if that's more dramatically interesting, and everyone says "whoa you look horrible!" and you say "I'm fine I'm fine!" and then you get into your helicopter even though you're kinda sick feeling, because it's a crazy day when they need all hands on deck, and then you pass out and crash over an abandoned Macon as your squad is flying from Robbins Air Force Base to Atlanta. Then you come back as a walker and a few months later Lee kicks your butt and squashes you against a bunch of exposed rebar.

    (Our crew hears the military coming to Macon at the end of episode 1, in the final scene at the motor inn, and while we never see what happens, the implication is that it went badly, or at best, that the military was really just passing through on their way to Atlanta, which as we see in the comics, also didn't work.)
