Carl got bit by a walker. It was pretty obvious when I happened. Gimple even mentioned on Talking Dead after the finale that they were afraid it was too noticeable.

He's going to die on the mid-season premiere. All of this speculation is just pointless. People are giving this show way too much credit.

This seems to happen all the time on the walking dead but how can the zombies teeth realistically penetrate this jackets or multiple layers of clothing and infect their victims? Zombies teeth are still human teeth, just much weaker and more rotten. If they are more rotten, they would much more likely fall off the jawbone of the zombie than it would penetrate several layers of clothing when they try and eat living people.

Yeah.. that's not a bad theory, but

Off topic but...
I love Art Adams but his style is so wrong for the walking dead.

I was expecting Carl's bite wound to look more necrotic than it did... it did just look like a simple human bite.

Just speculation, but we don't necessarily know that this was the scene in which he was bit. We are assuming it was, however it could have happened off screen. it could have been at some point after that.

This may be just an error or oversight, or just simple suspension of belief, but as I said above, zombie teeth are still human teeth, but much weaker. They don't turn into vampire or werewolf teeth. Human teeth can't pentrate one or two layers of clothing to cause the injury on Carl in the final scene of the episode.

also after the 'kill" those zombies in the woods, you can see Carl standing up facing Sidig and in the spot where Carl should have been bitten, his t-shirt is very clean. There are no tears to the clothing in that spot. Nor are there any stains. If the zombie sunk his teeth into Carl's flesh, than his teeth would therefore have needed to go through his t'shirt as well. But there are clearly no marks on it. Again this may be something that should be overlooked like when aliens in Star Trek always speak English.

Stupid but...

why would a Whisperer be hanging out with a Walker and attack Carl? What's the point?

Have you been watching the show and the writing room shenanigans?!

I'm fully expecting another "dumpster" incident... with the off-screen drama being part of the package to sell the notion that Carl is going to die.

considering the shit fit Chandlers Dad had on twitter over the story line this would be (yet another) huge slap in the face of the fans if this is another dumpster dive.

IDK if I care one way or another about losing Carl at this point. His story lines haven't been the strongest and considering how weak things are already it may be good for him to move onto a new project...
