Walking Dead. Serious Question. I always found the science behind the virus confusing.

If someone gets bitten on the arm in Walking Dead, why do they die?  Everyone on the show is infected nfected right? So why does a bite accelerate the virus. At first I thought they die from the bite and then turn. But what kills them?

Maybe it's like the flu/vaccine...everyone has a "dead" form of the virus inside them that triggers when the brain dies.  And "live" zombie juice brings it on a live person.

Though IIRC, the cases of "live" zombie bites have gotten vary rare lately.  Most people don't live that long anymore, as those caught by the zombies anymore are usually taken/eaten whole.

That's what baffles you?  Not the violation of the laws of themodynamics or that they can only be killed by hitting them in the head or that they're corpses that are walking around years after they died?

It tried to explain it as the virus "jumpstarts" only the pure survival part of the brain after normal death.  But yeah, being that the rest of the body is still required to support the brain operating at all, doesn't explain function after much of the body is gone/rotted away.

And never will, of course.

The show isn't really about zombies anyway.  They just serve the function of the "dues ex machina"...they could just as well be full-scale nuclear war or a meteor destroying the climate. 

The zombies are just like really bad weather that forces the human drama to do what it does.

Yeah, that was dumb.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Only 17/20 here.  I had to guess on a few, but there were several I recognized just from trailers.

I kinda wish Walking Dead would slow down a bit.

That would be 22 mins of Black screen each episode.

Very fast but that's not speed. That's writers changing their minds.
