Tons Of Questions On AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’

My current thoughts and questions regarding AMC’s “The Walking Dead”:

-Sophia can’t possibly be alive, can she? A little girl survives a zombie apocalypse? Although, the little closet sleep corner Daryl found in the farmhouse did seem to suggest that the writers were taking us to the inevitable “it’s a Christmas miracle, the 11 year old survived on her own in the zombie-infested woods” conclusion. I think it would be much braver and more exciting if the gang just was forced to move on without her and with her mother never knowing if she survived or not. They can’t wait forever.

-Stupid Lori is preggers. So now it will become a timeline guessing game of who fathered her child – Rick or Shane? It also will answer the question: “how inconvenient is a pregnancy during the zombie apocalypse?”

-Could “Your wife is with child” be the mysterious statement that Dr. Edwin Jenner of the CDC whispered to Rick in the first season finale? If so, don’t you think Rick would have told his wife “Hey, you might want to know that you’re knocked up. So like … don’t do drugs!” I personally don’t think this is the statement that Edwin shared with him. Any thoughts?

-Will Lori search for an abortionist? Hershel won’t do it, because he’s too busy talking about Jesus.

-Will anyone ever find out what really happened to Otis? (OMG I can’t believe what happened to Otis!)

-Will we ever see a zombie animal? Is that even possible? An animal gets bit and turns into a zombie? What are the zombie rules on this?

-How the heck does the farmhouse continue to use electricity?! Can a generator really last so long?

-And how come the zombies (or “walkers” – whatever, I’m not going back to change it throughout this post) don’t come and find this house? It’s all lit up in the middle of nowhere. They seem to be attracted to light.

-I cannot even believe they thought that drinking water from a well that a zombie was stewing in was even remotely a good idea. If a zombie spit into a swimming pool, I wouldn’t drink a shot glass of that water! No amount of chlorine can kill zombie cooties.

-Is that Merle we saw in the preview for next week? Merle, the one-handed mega-survivor? See, he is someone I can believe surviving on his own in the woods. But Sophia ain’t no Merle. Also, T-Dog better runnnnn.

-Glenn is the best.

-Wait, Daryl is the best. When he gave that flower to Carol and told him that story about women and their tears and Sophia being alright. Well … I fell in love with that amazing redneck, and I bet you did too.
