This ^ Although I think a very small percentage may be 'smarter'. The average walker has the IQ of a cucumber, I think some may be around a smart squash.

 

A couple of them were smart enough to pick up rocks to smash in the windows of the store front in series 1...

 

I think Kirkman's zombies are going to be a bit different from Romero's zombies, we all might be shocked when something proves this in the Comics and eventually in the Show... Perhaps something like an evolved and mutated Walker, that can speak and think, and have an intact brain somehow.

Don't limit the discussion to the rules set by the characters in the Show or Comics, the truth might be much more complex.

 

If they do that, I'm done. IMHO it would ruin the show.

 

Agreed. TWD has never been about the walkers and never should be.

 

I don't think they should have any associations with anything. If all that is reanimated is their brainstem, the part that controls only basic motor functions such as walking and eating, then they shouldn't have any inkling in what's left of their mind of anything else than their basic need to eat and keep moving.

 

A while ago I posted a thread regarding the same idea. I believe that it's possible that the dead keep memories of their loved ones, for example, Morgan's wife would visit the house that Morgan and Duane lived in during Season 1.

It could also be the fact that they just visit their death place. Because she(Duane's mother, Morgan's wife) did in fact, die at that house. Maybe Walkers just keep around their death place for most of the time. Just like Leon (sheriff) that was just roaming at the Sheriff's Department, also in Season 1.

Then again, Jenner spoke (when he was showing Test subject 19's reanimation) that the part that makes you "you" - is not reanimated. So this will pose many questions!

 

I do...and first let met take a moment to say "YAG!!! She's turning the frigging knob!" Again, its something she's done many times before. Her body knows she has to do that to open the door. I don't think she's going in there to give her man and boy a hug and then thinks...LUNCH!! I think there are things that are held onto that are kind of like remnants. Anyway, like I said, its what I want to believe because the idea that there might be sentient thought in there, that they might be eating their neighbor, husband, brother whatever, and that somewhere in there they have the slightest idea of what they are doing is just freaking awful man!

 

There are so many things wrong with this post all I can say is.....:zombies_shocked:

 

It was Romero's 'Land of the Dead'.

 

Your refering to Big Daddy from Land of the dead.

 

another movie where humans stand a shitty fight ...
