Why aren't the zombies decomposed after all this time?

In The Walking Dead, the more we go through the seasons, the easier it seems to be to crush the zombies' head. The head literally explodes now with a hard hit. This seems logical as after all this time, the zombies should be completely decomposed…

How was the flu so deadly in Season 4 of The Walking Dead?

In AMC's The Walking Dead, how did the flu take out so much of the population? Me and people I've known have gotten plenty of them. The only time I hear of them killing people is extremely weak and frail children or elderly people. They are also not…

Can a zombie be eaten?

While watching a recent episode of The Walking Dead, there was a scene where Carl and Michone where scavenging houses for food. It occurred to me, why not just eat the zombies? There are different zombie universes. For example, in 28 days later…

Why don't they cover themselves in zombie guts more often?

It was shown in season 1 by Rick and Glenn, and in season 3 by Michonne, that covering yourself in zombie guts is a pretty effective way of avoiding walkers. Sure it wasn't foolproof, but it was still better than trying to manouever your way around…

Why don't main characters of the Walking Dead shield their legs from crawling walkers?

Over time of watching the Walking Dead, I noticed that main characters adapted well to predicting walker locations and positions. These skills have definitely saved their lives many times. However, with time passing by we start seeing tons of…

Why are the zombie's skulls so easily crushable?

This has been bothering me for some time...the zombies seem to have heads without skulls, like over-ripe melons. I realize that their flesh is slowly rotting but bone does not rot! How are the survivors able to crush the zombie’s skulls to destroy…

Has Daryl ever fired an arrow and not recovered it?

The only time in The Walking Dead that I can think of that we didn't see Daryl recover the arrow he has shot was when there was the hanging walker in the tree. However, I don't think that there was anything shown that precludes him from recovering…

In the Walking Dead why don't humans turn after being cut with infected weapons?

I could never understand how is that a few times I have seen someone fighting with a knife or a sword, killing zombies and then make a cut on a human which would then have no effect? Does the virus spread through blood like for example when being…

In S05, when arriving at Terminus, Michonne is stripped of her sword. In E03, she appears back with it, but I missed the part that she got it back. Carrol did not pick her sword back, only Darrel's bow and Rick's watch (as far as I saw) So when and…
