Welcome to the forums Clipper, BTW.

If you like you make an intro here >>> http://www.walkingdeadforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/40-Zombie-Intros

You mean the incubation period? I recall from the CDC it could vary from a few hours to day (I think). I've read different zombbooks since then and the facts blur sometimes.

But largely it depends on how much exposure to the virus.

 

And they looked like fine quality walking boots. Not sure if the poor zed would have managed to get past the leather... But it makes for a nice cliff-hanger.

 

I, too, am wondering if the walker broke through the boot or not... I believe it takes a couple or few days to die from a simple bite. Remember Jim? Bout how long he lasted if I recall correctly. That's how it is in the comics, too.

 

If you'd ever eaten my Missus' roast dinners you'd also know it takes a fair while to chew through something as tough as an old boot. The question remains how long the walker was sat there gumming Daryl's ankle.

 

If they turn Daryl into a walker I will be pissed. He's half the reason I watch. I don't think it got through his boot. I'm sure they would have shown us a scene with Daryl reflecting on it if the walker had gotten a good nibble.

 

Don't you worry, Shannon; if you're getting twitchy, just think a nice plate of Mrs Chick's roast beef. And you'll know there is no way on this planet that Daryl is getting turned in the next few episodes.

Now, how do I make this into a spoiler?!

 

I'm going to have to make you some proper, easily chewed roast beef Mr Chickenwire. :zombies_lol:

 

I'm sure the boot protected him. He's lucky he woke up when he did though, the walker might have tried munching on something else!

 

I don't think it got through. First, Daryl has this kind of "good for the group" mentality. If he got bit, I don't think he'd go back to them. Second, they do a lot of this, throwing something out there you think is going to mean something or really affect the show, and then it just doesn't pan out.
