Questions about the show:
0) By my estimation, they've been on "zombie time" for more than a year, yet we haven't seen any shows addressing winter weather, where things freeze solid for a week at a time. What's the deal in that regard? What would happen to the zombies in freezing weather? It seems to me that they would become unable to move because they have no functioning circulatory system to warm their bodies. It seems to me that they've demonstrated no sense of self-preservation beyond eating the living (humans and animals), they probably wouldn't seek out a place to keep warm, and since they have no real functioning circulatory system, huddling together would be like standing dead sticks against each other and would provide no protection against freezing. Even if it did, walking briskly past a group of huddled zombies would cause the group to disperse in order to chase you down, and they'd eventually freeze because they're fully exposed to the weather.
1) Do the zombies eventually starve to the point that they can't muster the energy to remain ambulatory? Wouldn't they eventually consume each other in that case. Since they're dead, even after being frozen, they'd thaw out and be even hungrier.
2) Is this a world-wide event? I don't see how even the new Fear the Waling Dead show could answer that question since it seems to me that communications have already broken down completely.
3) When are we going to find out what actually caused the zombie apocalypse?

Apparently, someone attempted to mark this message as spam. LMRNFAO! Nice try, ass hat. Why don't you be a f*ckin man and post a message about it instead of hiding behind anonymity?! I really despise cowardice.

One episode talked about the French doctors nearly figuring it out, but then they were overrun by zombies and eaten. This suggests that it's worldwide.

Also Zombies are decomposing aren't they give them enough time say 6 to 8 months and they become dis-articulated bones?

We haven't actually seen that on the show, though. I do recall hearing something regarding the Fear the Walking Dead show regarding their ambulatory speed being faster because they're freshly dead and not as "starving" as the ones on the original show.

In the UK 'Fear The Walking Dead' is on a separate channel from the 'Walking Dead'. The worst bit was the channel was not encrypted for the first episode but was subscription only after that. I was at my parents who had a satellite feed when the first episode was on so watched it there.

The show is written by Java developers, so that should explain the thought process.

Are you trying to apply physic laws to zombies ? How paradoxical...
|

It's physics not biology! I don't think they would consume each other as in series 1 Rick & Glenn cover themselves in Zombie bits to escape a hoard if I remember, the virus makes them unpalatable to themselves....

I honestly can't imagine a zombie trying to eat another zombie, and going "Ewww!"...

I enjoy the show, but willfully ignore that the zombies and especially the zombie mobs make no sense whatsoever.
I also willfully ignore how overall stupid everyone is. So many problems could have been resolved with a ten second conversation.
Then there's the question of where all the people are in Alexandria. There had to be hundreds to build the wall and clean out the town, but it's a ghost town. I suspect budget issues. (And given how lax the "leaders" of Alexandria are, how are they still around? Better, how did they even survive this long?)

3) When are we going to find out what actually caused the zombie apocalypse?
I've only got to halfway thru season 3, but isn't is a virus that's the living have already caught?

Yes, but what caused the virus? My guess is that it was a artificial (man-made) virus that was intended as a weapon, and it somehow broke free of - or intentionally released from - it's containment area. Originally, it was intended to only be transferrable via saliva (ostensibly via a bite or sex from an already infected person), but it mutated (as virus' are wont to do), and now here we are - battling zombies.
