The concept of Rick being immune, maybe even being a Walker himself, The litteral Walking Dead. Is pretty sci-fi to me but it is a concept that could work to explain why and how he could lay there for so long without dying. The few who are immune become living, walking, dead but they work properly and of course, can survive and endure more shit than others because of it. I believe Shane thought he was dead, maybe this is why he looked at them with shock and suprise, as he saw Rick walk right up to him. "But he was dead" and that was something Shane could never stop. Not only did he abandon his best friend and police partner, he slept with his wife and betrayed him in so many ways I think it turned Shane crazy.

I like the theory.

 

Chandler's dad complaining about his son losing his job works against any Carl will live theories.

 

If Rick is really the walking dead, all of those walkers that have tried to bite him in the past sure didn't notice it. A very sci-fi theory but I doubt it.

 

Spoiler for you Remon_uk

He's gone! He's not coming back. We're relocating to L.A.

Your comment about doctors reminded me that Negan killed one of his doctors! Another episode he claims he views people as valuable resources. Then why did he kill a person with a valuable , not easily nor quickly learned profession ???!!!

 

Sorry, accidentally deleted part.

Anyway, TWD is always cavalier with doctors. Seasons ago, back at the hospital another one was bumped off. I complained then that it was stupid to think they only needed one.

 

Did someone fire Scott Gimple and bring in J J Abrams without me knowing

 

That's an out-there theory but I kinda like it. Then since Carl is Rick's son he may genetically be immune as well and since he's bit, we find out when he doesn't turn into what we have seen as the 'usual walkers' that get all messed up and eat people. That also means they'd need to make it clear to everyone that Judith, for her own safety as well as everyone elses, most likely isn't immune since she does in fact belong to Shane.

 

I just find it funny that you think if they wanted him dead he would've been dead this episode when they are famous for cliffhangers and leaving things unanswered lol

 

Carl is definitely gone from the show. not only was he bit, but he was definitely looking worse for the wear. that and the stories from real life about how he was shocked to find out the story-line, how he wants to branch out and do other things, etc. they can't do what they did with Glenn and then let Carl live... right?

 

Wait a New York minutay here. Rick is actually dead, and Shane knows he's a walking and talking dead which was his real reason of surprise to see him? And Rick is like a genius zombie? He's dead but has a heartbeat and blood work indistinguishable from living people, according to Jenner, and taking just as long to heal from wounds as everyone else, making him pretty indistinguishable from the living, But no matter...he's a genius zombie. But aren't people who are walking dead but 'work properly', just.....alive?

I hear people complain about bad writing, but sometimes I get a reminder of just how bad things could actually get if the show fell into the wrong hands LOL. Like in season 9 we'd run into a group of Teletubbies. "But aren't Teletubbies just characters from a kids sho--" "Shut up! Just go with it! They found some Teletubbies".

 

LOL I just said this in the other Carl theory thread and was going to post it here too, but glad you already oointed this out. Carl's death is a done deal.

 

Yeah, Jenner ran some blood work too, if Rick was indeed special in any way that modern medicine could discover, then Jenner would have been just the guy to point that out... But he didn't... Because Rick isn't...

 

It is not as far fetched as it sounds. If people beleive god is involved, or the old Alien hoax from Kirkman to sell the show...the most realistic one is really that Rick or Carl is immune cause reasons. Ricks really someone who died but survived or Carl is immune cause 50% of all kids was immune but being zombie chow kills you anyway or something weird. I think TWD do best not to go down the route although.

 

Great minds think alike.

 

Oh God let’s not get into the Beth survival theories territory with Carl.
He’s as good as dead. That’s it.

I was hoping that the whole series thus far was a horrible nightmare from a young sleeping Carl... his death in the nightmare is the jolt that wakes him up. It turns out though that Carl was having a psychic vision of future events and season 1 cast start to have to tell the entire story again bit with the added story of Carl being able to remember his dream and change elements of the future...
