[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would Sam, as an infected, not attack those in the room immediately? Was he still in there, like he asked about? Or was it solely for dramatic effect that the director waits until Ellie is going up to him and is surprised?[/quote] Agree this made zero sense. She should have awakened to his attacking her.[/quote] The infected have some erratic behavior though and we still don't know exactly the nature of the infected. Like are the human bodies actually alive, or are they just a corpse hosting the cordycep parasite? Maybe they start out alive and then die as the cordyceps take over? They also definitely have periods of dormancy, as with all the infected underground in St. Louis who were dormant for what appears to be years? What causes dormancy? How long does it take an infected to begin attacking people? Recall the elderly neighbor back in Texas who must have gotten infected during her hospital visit, and then appeared to die (?) in her chair in the living room, before "waking up" and attacking/infecting the other neighbors? It's not like she got infected and immediately started attacking people. There was a period of time, maybe even a day, where she was just sitting there. I do think it was done for dramatic effect, because at that point you know he's infected and it seems very unlikely Ellie's blood magic trick worked, but also you are holding out some hope. However, I also think based on what we have seen of the infected's behavior thus far, there is enough variation in how infection works that I don't think we can say the choice was inconsistent. I have only watched the show, though, never played the game, so only know what I've been told in these five episodes.[/quote]
