Yeah, like diarreah...from everywhere. How is a heart pumping any of that through, how are limbs getting any energy for locomotion or nutrients for maintained? I feel like the bacteria or whatever does a lot more than reanimate the brain stem, it must rework a lot of the body systems so thatDread Not wrote:I think he means it literally looks like watery shit.FSTargetDrone wrote:Actually, Walker blood appears to be quite thick and syrupy, not watery at all.
a. As noted above, walkers aren't ACTUALLY decaying, but rather mutating into some brainless yet semi viable creature, and
b. walkers might actually be eating on instinct, but not need to eat at all to remain functional. I'm thinking of Darth Maul's girlfriend flopping around in the first episode with all her shit hanging out. She wouldn't be "Eating" much, it would fall out of her ruined intestines. Those two slack jawed idiots with Michonne could... I suppose be ingesting soup or oatmeal or something easy to process if Michonne was feeding them, but they could just as likely not need to eat at all, and the savage attackery of the walkers is just a leftover instinct of brain function.
So I think the disease doesn't reanimate the dead, it mutates them
