The Characters in Season 1 should have asked and discussed why and how?

Why and how they think the ZA began.I know that why it happened is not really that important in the grand scheme of things but if you existed in the world you would obviously be thinking how the hell did this happen!? We will never know what caused the ZA and in this we are in the same boat as the characters so I think it would have been nice for the characters to have a discussion in a Quite moment about how they thought it happened(Scientists,God,other). Hopefully in season 2 we could have a scientist or a religious guy in our group just to offer their theories if nothing else. I just thought that in season 1 it was odd that the characters never questioned what was happening.

    If it was good enough for Romero it should be good enough for the walking dead! :P

    I did always love that line, I really do not need a reason as to why the dead walk among us, but rather how to out live it and maybe, just maybe end it.

    I guess the idea is that people just had to accept it after a while, but I do think that we could have gotten a few introspective moments on it early on. Finding out why things happened isn't our group's purpose, but it wouldn't stop people from asking the question.

    And also it would not stop never getting that answer.

    Doug probably had a few theories but nobody wanted to listen to him ramble on for hours about prions and shit.

    Yeah thats all I want,I wouldn't want our group to try and figure out a cure or anything but just to least throw around their own theories.

    Acoording to the show it's an unknown virus that spreads in the air. Unknown = no cure

    I know there will never be a cure, so at best life could go back to normal somewhat but the threat of zombies never goes away.

    Wasn't there a scientist in Season 1 of the TV series that found a cure but his research was destroyed?

    There was DR Jenner at the CDC but he hadn't found a cure or anything,he just discovered how people turn,something to do with their brain reactivating but I think he said scientists in France thought they were close to a breakthrough before they got Overrun.

    Well they thought they were close we'll never know for sure,they could have been completely wrong either.

    I know Kirkman never wanted the science behind the transformation and the reasons why it started to be discussed in depth but it definitely would be interesting, and yah it would be cool if some sort of doctor or scientist character was introduced and tried to theorize what happened.

    Well maybe a cure could be done, but the technology to make it is long gone after the first 400 Days.

    I like Andrew's reasoning from the comics. He prayed to God to never let him do drugs again and the next day the zombie apocalypse starts, so he can't get drugs anymore. Seems legit.

    The scientist said that the virus causes the brain to reactivate itself after the person dies. However the virus lives to spread itself to other people, and it can be caught through the air.

    If it hadn't been for the apocalypse, she never would have met Leland and Dee who got her off the stuff.

    So, in the end, the apocalypse is God's way of saying "Drugs aren't cool."

    When Dee stole medicine from the diner I wonder was it her hope that Bonnie may get hooked on some of the medicine(pills or something) because she wanted Bonnie to relapse because she was jealous of Bonnie and Leland.

    I wouldn't be surprised. She was very defensive of Leland, and I will always think that she KNEW it was Bonnie she was trying to kill in the cornfield, and just guilt tripped her after Bonnie got the better of her. That's not how I played Bonnie, though. In my game she never liked Leland as more than a friend, so she should have been going after that treacherous husband of hers.
