    Like you said, the swine flu would take longer than that. Potter got sick in the afternoon and died/changed that night.

    I'm sure that the dead pig has something to do with this and am guessing that the zombie virus and swine flu combined and mutated into an airborne variant of the zombie virus that no longer requires a bite or scratch to kill/change a live host.

      My idea of an airborne virus that would decimate Rick's group might make sense in the real world, but falls apart in the TV world because, well, that would be the end of the show

      I do wonder how we'll see the group respond though, in a world without science and technology. Will superstition and panic take over? The Black Plague spread so quickly because they assumed cats were bad luck and started killing them all, when in fact it was fleas on rats. If they hadn't killed so many cats, the Plague would have slowed or been stopped.

        First of all, that link is terrifying. I washed my hands 5,474 times a day for a weeks after I saw "Contagion."

        Second, I just remembered Rick looking at a extra creepy walker in the beginning, one that was bleeding from the eyes. That can't be a coincidence.

          He was shown several times. I agree that it isn't a coincidence.

            Yeah, it's only a matter of time.


            I'm clinging to this though as myself and my immediate family got the swine flu in 2009 and obviously survived...

            I've seen other reports that dispute this though and last winter we had mild cases of the seasonal flu even though we got the vaccine, so I'm probably dead with the rest of you.

              Maybe just cholera?

              Then again, probably not, as it appeared The Rat was suffering a fever, and only appeared to be discharging from the fore, and not aft as well.

                  Yes it does, they are doing a spectacular job of having a good episode plot as well has continuing to develop the over arching plots of why Reddington chose the Agent Keen and Keen's relationship with her husband...

                          I watched The Walking Dead a little late, but now that I have seen the season premier, I have to say, I like it. I think they did a pretty good job, and if it continues like this, the next season should be better than the last 2, which, IMO weren't as good as they should have been. My initial guess, for the illness in that episode is just a supervirus, that isn't the zombie virus, that will kill people, and I think it is definitely water-bourne, not airbourne.

                          I also watched Suday's episode of Homeland. Hated it. It didn't advance the story at all. I with they would have just given up on the Brody storyline, and taken the show a different direction. The Brody storyline was played out a season ago...

                            On Tuesday night, South Park Studios lost power. From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of our computers were down for hours and we were unable to finish episode 1704 "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" in time for air tonight. Trey Parker said, "It sucks to miss an air date but after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen."
                            Thought this was interesting.

                              What did they show instead? A recent rerun or something more classic?

                                I feel like 2 Broke Girls is making the same joke over and over and it's just not that funny anymore.
