Everyone has the virus already and the wound from that bite was pretty small so he can easily recover from that bleeding. Because whatever virus turns people in zombies becomes stronger once a body dies and then when it is transmited to someone it gives you a fever and you die soon after. | ||

Weakass zombie's just ripping someone apart is also something that wouldn't happen. But if it were possible my point is valid I think? I'm not a medical expert though. | ||

Having said that, they played up the other group's incompetence at pretty much everything to do with survival far too much in my opinion. I get the idea, but if you take a step back and think about it, a group this incompetent at dealing with zombies would never have managed to survive this long to begin with. And the argument that they just took competent groups in that died one by one is kind of.. odd. It really wouldn't have worked like that. Also, kind of weird how some people are annoyed at the priest in this thread, though. Carol is planning to murder a dude in cold blood because he might know too much, and people try to argue that Rick's group is the obviously good one. Both groups are morally ambiguous, that's what makes the current storyline so much fun to watch. | ||

It's awesome to see the two groups working on each other without one being the blatantly bad, evil group and the other the heroes that only want peace in life.

Both groups are morally ambiguous, that's what makes the current storyline so much fun to watch. That's not why Carol wants to murder the dude. Carol wants to murder the dude because he is an abusive husband who is definitely beating his wife and maybe beating his kids. I do agree with the incompetence. While there was a decent explanation for the two douchebags' incompetence, there does not seem to be much reason for the workcrew's foreman to be such a craven and useless twat. Then again, these inconsistencies are really really minor in comparison to the facepalm-worthy ridiculousness of some of the plot-required stupidity in previous arcs. So far, the episodes since the winter break have been really rather good. | ||

Tyreese wouldn't have turned from the bite, he would have died regardless from the bleed out and turn that way since the wound was actually size-able. Even if he didn't bleed out, you can assume that the bite will probably lead to a ton of infection given that walkers eat flesh and dead corpses or whatever. That stuff would kill in an age where both medical supplies and expertise are in short supply. | ||

Yeah you can think of a zombie bite kind of like instant hardcore gangrene in a world without reliable access to antibiotics. Hence the tendency to try to hack stuff off. | ||

I didn't care much about Noah, frankly, because pretty much all he did was look sad. But man, the pastor... Such an annoying character, and now I can't wait to see him bite the dust following that betrayal. We're lucky Maggie heard that - I hope she manages to salvage things somehow once Glenn & co come back/Rick accuses Pete and Deanna inevitably begins to question who's telling the truth. I have a feeling things are not going to go well, though, we'll see :p Noah death was expected.. because Everbody hates Chris. | ||

Hence the tendency to try to hack stuff off. If you remember in season 1 or 2 someone gets bit, but doesn't die and quickly develops a full blown fever/infection that kills him within a week or so. So far the only person to survive a bit is Maggie's father who had his leg chopped off. I think it's just safe to assume the body is in no shape to recover from a bite.

They had them, but lost them I believe. It's not like Riot shields are just laying around everywhere all the time. I believe there's also an implication (even in the comics) that they can also be a bit of a liability because they reduce your mobility and don't really help if you get surrounded or have 20+ zombies smashing against the shield. The body armor itself also is hot and stifling which can be a problem if you have no source of fresh water. | ||

Though I'm not sure how much of a choice that really is, since everyone in the group is very close together, and would probably go anywhere Rick would go. While that ultimatum may happen, I don't see Rick leaving over just staging a coupe and telling the rest of the community they can fall inline or be exiled (together with the bad apples who get no choice in the matter and will be exiled/shot anyway). | ||

This exactly. He even said it himself that if things don't work out, they will just take the place. These people obviously have no idea how to survive in this new world and it's amazing they haven't been wiped out alrdy. | ||

I thought it was rather that their saliva contains a shit ton of infectants. Even a nasty bite from a living human is known to cause infections, what more from a decomposing being. And I would imagine that the virus in living humans is dormant and thus not infectious. Getting active viruses into your bloodstream from a walker bite are probably what causes the fatal fever. | ||
