    Here's what is confusing me

    Eastman says he's been out there for 3 years, and by the time Morgan meets up with him it's been roughly two years since the outbreak - so Eastman killed Crighton a year before the outbreak, which is why he wouldn't have seen him turn

    Ok so first: Why didn't anyone go looking for him...face it he's a prime suspect

    And
    cheeseman says murderer took 47 days to die, and when he went to city to turn self in, apocalypse had happened, so why didn't the murderer turn? If he had been out there for 3 years, and when he went to the city the Apocalypse had already happened...how does this all work?

    I don't get this timeline at all.

    He said he was alone for 3 years. He meant since his wife and kids were murdered. That happened over a year before the ZA, because he said a year passed after their death before he kidnapped Crighton.

    I find it odd that Crighton didn't turn, if by the time he went to the city shit had already hit the fan

    I wondered that as well. It's possible that he wasn't infected (since we don't know at what point everyone was infected). Also, it's likely that Crighton's grave was ready, and he was buried quickly.

    Eastman also said he went crazy like Morgan for a while so he may have spend months after killing Crighton at the cabin. For all we know he could have tried to turn himself anywhere from a year to a few months before Morgan showed up.

    I don't think he went to the city right away. It was probably weeks later.

    It's not a history book. Who cares?

    With that logic who cares about consistency at all?
    Next episode we'll have singing and dancing zombies.

    Who cares

    You've been shown your mistake.

    So how is the timeline not well thought out? Explain it.

    Why are you implying that singing and dancing zombies would be a bad thing?

    What mistake?

    He says when Creighton died he went to go turn himself in, then learned that the world had gone to hell.

    Somehow 47 days near Atlanta showdown this guy doesn't turn?

    Either he buries him straight away and doesn't know...which seems unlikely since he starved to death it would be hard to tell when he died to then bury him right away.


    Just seems too weird to set out this timeline of starving a man to death who doesn't turn, but the apocalypse was already underway.

    Only thing that was explained to me was he was out in the woods a year after his wife and kid died.

    Still doesn't explain the weird timeline being THAT close to the ZA.

    So basically you have no point.

    Your mistake was that you didn't know what Eastman meant by '3 years', and now you are in recovery mode.

    Nice try.

    Fine on the 3 years.

    His story of finding out about the ZA, and starving the guy to death and not knowing seems a bit weird.

    Sorry, you still have no point.

    We don't know how much time passed after Crighton died.

    But if you need a cause, there is Habitat for Humanity.

    I just assumed that Eastman was the dude in the grave and that the fellow 'teaching' Morgan was [FONT=&quot]Creighton. [/FONT]Either that or there never was an Eastman and the grave was empty. It would be neat to see what would happen to Morgan's head if he found out (from an old newspaper or something) that his guru was not who he thought he was.

    Still looks like a bit of an oversight

    I still think it is another example of convenience overriding actual story telling - sometimes the people turn in 5 minutes because the story needs a walker threat, sometimes it takes days because they forgot everyone is infected while writing this scene.

    I admire your effort at damage control.
