Well Rick did ride a bicycle briefly during the pilot.

Phodg

Only if you pinch his ballsack.

I know, I'm just saying a bicycle doesn't get spooked like a horse does .

What, you want it in your hair? Weirdo.

My guess: I think the driver was Milton - he was wearing a wig to look like Andrea so that the folks in the prison would think she turned on them.

Reasons:
1. He had just had the speech with the governor about taking the bullet (and off camera the governor told him to saddle up).

2. He handles the zombies.

3. When he was talking to Andrea, he appeared to be in a hurry - which is why he was late driving the truck into the compound.

Yep, it was either mentioned on one of the commentaries on the Blu-rays (for Season 2) or by Glen Mazzara on TALKING DEAD's season finale last year.

I didn't remember the chopper originally belonging to Merle. I haven't seen season one since it aired.

Jason

it was mentioned when they were on the highway, and Darryl gave the group prescription meds for T-Dogg. Said the drugs were his brothers.

Troy Stiffler

Prude.

*Sigh*




It's not a wig. It's not Andrea. It's not Keyser Söze. It's not Jack the Ripper faking the moon landing atop the grassy knoll. It's Random Mook #32.

Dios fucking Mio, man.

Also why the hell would it be Milton (not Dilton, this isn't Archie folks) when he was clearly in Woodbury when Andrea was questioning him.

Plus why would Milton, the top science guy, be placed in a situation where he is directly in the line of fire? Do you really think the Governor is stupid enough to put a key guy in harm's way like that?

Am I the only one who gave a sigh of relief when Axel was shot? I thought they were gonna hook those two up. Gross.

A wig? Seriously? A wig? Why would they put a wig on him to make the group think Andrea turned on them if her presence is currently in question?

And why would Milton wear body armor when he's still convinced zombies can be reasoned with and conditioned?

And why would the Governor place his number one man in the line of fire during a war?

McFly! Think, McFly!

most interesting fact of the lot is the 5000:1 ratio of zombies to humans.

I thought Milton was trying to condition the zombies at the Governor's request. We've already seen proof that he fears them and knows the damage they can do, as evidenced by the protective gear he put on while gathering them up.

He only seems to work on one at a time. Even if he was working on 30 or so, why would he use he research stock for the raid and not random zombies?

Also, during the episode the governor said he had thought Merle wa his right hand man and it seemed pretty clear he was looking for proof of loyalty. He also admitted to Andrea that his hopes of conditioning the zombies as a way to improve Penny's condition was foolhardy, so no doubt Milton's worth dropped a bit in the govenor's eyes.

In short, your Dragon Tattoo impersonation makes about as much sense as a screen door on a battleship.

I noticed the blood spatter on Rick's shirt but assumed it was just a happy acciddent.

Terminal

No, I was just messing around. I wasn't serious. I apologize.

majorjoe23

Me too, I just wanted to sign off with a Biff Tannen quote as well.

Interestingly, they actually do call them "zombies" in the comics.

Michael Corvin

I don't recall ever seeing the word zombie in the comic.

Buttmunker

were any of the "webisodes" included on a DVD release, or are they waiting to use it as "special features" when the Complete Series Boxset comes out?

Me007gold

So if Zombies outnumber humans 5000:1 whats the population of humans left?

Giantrobo

George Romero did the same thing by calling them Living Dead. Not Zombies. Right?

Buttmunker

There's this rationale about it: Zombies exist in "The Walking Dead" universe because they were never "imagined." Therefore, since they were never "imagined," the word "Zombie" never came about.

Guess there was never a 1960s band called "The Zombies," either.
