The Walking Dead: Let’s Talk Walkers!
By Susie Graham
Walkers. Biters. Roamers. Creepers. Geeks. Skin-eaters. Lame-brains. The Dead. The Undead.
Zombies. We don’t call them that on The Walking Dead, but we know that’s what they are. We know how to kill them. We know that we’re all infected and will turn into them when we die. We’ll turn faster if we’re bitten after a raging fever. We’ll wander grasping moaning and shuffling and chomping at existent or non-existent food. We will be drawn to noise and light. We somehow will know who among us is one of us and who is living.
We know quite a bit about the walkers, but there are still so many questions we have. We’ve all heard the walker poop question. Some questions are fun to ponder and some are fun to abandon and just leave in the mystery box of “just accept it” or “who cares?”
Let’s take a look at some walker questions. Some of these have been posed in the comments of articles I’ve written. Don wondered about why we don’t see many baby or kid zombies. Could be practical filming issues or maybe they are eaten right away by newly turned walkers. Could be they turn first and are killed by their still living parents or loved ones. All of our kids have died or been killed by adults when they were walkers.
TheWalkingdads.com and Bobby S wondered about footwear and chic dressers especially relating to the new L.A. location. It does seem like the walkers have comfie clothes in Georgia. I’m sure they dressed more comfortably as they knew things were falling apart before becoming walkers. But in LA at the beginning, I hope to see some walker swag and heels.
Let’s talk walkers! What are some questions you have about walkers? What have you noticed? What are some things we should think about going forward in Alexandria and backward and west in Fear? What’s your favorite walker name?
