[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something is really bugging me about last night's episode. In The Walking Dead, it took until the end of season 2 before we saw that the virus had become airborne (when Shane reanimated). Up until then, it was only transmitted through zombie bites. This series is supposed to be set earlier than TWD, but from the very beginning it appears that the virus is airborne and everyone is infected upon death (e.g., Cal reanimating). Am I missing something, or are we supposed to just ignore this little continuity issue?[/quote]

YES!  I am with you.  It was a big plot point when it happened in the original series, talk of the virus mutating etc.  I guess you can say they just caught on, but come on.  I thought part of what made it so terrifying was that people were getting bitten or scratched (remember that?! it used to only take a scratch, they dropped that point after season 1 I think) by their loved ones and then getting a fever/illness and then dying and turning.  I think an illness leading to a zombie is much more interesting than just any old dead person turning!

I hope the 2nd episode is better.  I didn't like the first one.  I wanted more info about the wider plague and the build up to that, not this one family's problems with their drug addict son.
