Being bitten gives you some sort of super deadly fever.
So the worry would be similar to eating mad cow disease tainted beef. You're not gonna "catch the zombie" since yeah you've already got that, but you'll maybe catch something fatal.

Like the guys in the prison from season 3?
I think Bob was bit when he went into the water. He was getting all teary eyed, asked for one last kiss and went outside, was smiling and happy watching them and then crying as he's leaving and they took him. I hope he infects all of them. That Gareth guy just has a face/voice/look that makes you want to smash his teeth in.
This cure stuff just sounds dumb. I have a feeling it'll just be like the CDC again, they find the government building and it's already been overrun, this Eugene guy will probably end up unleashing some kind of super virus and kill them even faster. I mean I just don't understand it. How will he "target" only the dead? They're already dead, how can you kill something that has already died again? Sure he could probably find some way to see if someone brain synapses or neurons are firing, but how will some random podunk scientist do it in a post-apocalyptic world? Not to mention have the time and resources needed to test such things.

This is what I thought. Everyone is infected, you turn when you die, eating "infected flesh" wouldn't do anything.
EDIT: Has this "super fever" ever been a part of the show or is it something from the comics?
Don't you turn when you get bit or even scratched? I mean they had to amputate Herschels leg because he got bit there. I think you reanimated when you die for sure, but it seems like straight infection of saliva or blood to open wounds just does it right away.

Yep this, just like the people Carol killed at the prison.
Damn, best first two episodes to kick off a season since Season 3.

(Comic Spoilers)
Needless to say, I'm hyped as hell. Didn't think they get out of Terminus and get the Hunters arc rolling this fast. Gareth plays such a perfect Chris. I love him even more than his comic counterpart. And I also gotta say I love the remix approach on this arc where Rick and company already met the guys face to face and forced them out in the woods, effectively turning them from cannibals who lure in their prey into cannibals who now actively hunt their "food". And now Rick seeing first hand how they slaughtered people, it makes his incoming brutality even easier to root for.
Bob's obviously bit. Tainted meat incoming! I see you, Ratsky/Pyro! :O
One of my favorite parts from the comic was when Rick used his hand as a gun to shoot off fingers and ears when he approached Chris with the help of Andrea's sniper skillz. I was so hoping that Carol was gonna take Andrea's place in that scene but now she goes and runs off with Daryl to find Beth. -____-
This is also so fitting that Rick wanted all of the Terminus survivors dead but everybody's just like "move on, bro." Not to mention Bob having that conversation that it's not worth going that far and now he's grill meat.
So, who's the butcher crew that'll be joining Rick in going to town on the last of the Termites? My vote: Michonne, Abraham, Sasha, Rosita, and maybe Tyreese since he let the kid live.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it... hopefully they meet up with Morgan and he can take Andrea's place!

The walkers are pathetic anymore. The only time there is a serious threat to anyone is when there are evil human beings or an entire horde of walkers. They amped them up a little bit with the influenza but how often are they going to run into them?
The show needs a super walker, something either fast or more intelligent than the average undead. Time for the chupacabra that Daryl saw in season one?

Season 1 when they were still camping outside Atlanta, Jim got bit and they let him live for quite a while as his health deteriorated, before he asked to be left on the side of the road.

What's she supposed to do? She has no idea where she is beyond Daryl said she was kidnapped.
It's not like she looked very happy in any scene tonight.

I don't think they understood how it worked when they amputated Herschel's leg. I seem to remember everyone being infected and bites mainly being dangerous because they would probably kill you. I'm probably wrong but that's been my understanding.

Not bad episode i like how the terminus is connected to this story
if i wanted super zombies i'll watch a movie or play left 4 dead
no thanks ma'am
Gareth taking a page out of Hannibal's book starting with the leg.
Though Hannibal went farther and made his victim eat himself:

But at least it probably tasted better than what Gareth was chewing

Does anyone know why Darryl smashed the taillights of the car? Doesn't he know they can be turned off?

My guess is that Sasha will probably take that role considering in the comic is was Dale/Andrea and now its Bob/Sasha.

She asked about Beth last week.

Episode 8 of this season, according to Wikipedia anyway, is called "Fear the Hunters". I REALLY hope they don't drag on this arc that long. Gareth is incredibly lame and his motivations make no sense.
I'd be cool with this.
Gareth has quickly become my favorite villain of the series so I'll be totally cool with the whole first half this season taking its sweet time with his arc.

I don't get the appeal I guess. Ya sure, he's good at being a creep, but his character makes very little sense and him convincing dozens of people to turn cannibal is ridiculous even by this show's standards.
Huh? There have been several.
Damn good episode. It would've been fine with just the church and supply run, but they included the Terminus guys and Beth's kidnappers. And I have no idea what Gabriel is hiding.
Bob has had a lot of shit happen to him. Last season a liquor shelf fell down on him. He had a stare down with Daryl. He got shot during the prison raid. A walker bit him on his bandages. This season he was used to make Rick talk during the slaughter scene. A walker tried to drown him during his moment of glee. And now this.

So Bob totally got bit right? That's why he left the church, to probably kill himself. And now his leg has conveniently been turned into campfire cuisine and that's most likely where he was bit. Oh Walking Dead.
Gabriel is dumb. Gareth is dumber. Let's wrap this up real quick like and get Seth Gilliam back to Teen Wolf and Gareth's actor to wherever he comes from.

"Don't worry, it's nothing personal. We don't like doing bad things. We're not evil. Now let me taunt you with your own cooked leg. Nah nah nah nah boo boo, we're eating your leg meat!"
Fuck I hate Gareth. He's such a smug asshole who loves the smell of his own farts as much as he does the sound of his own voice.

Gareth is great.
Is GAF just fans of super bland characters or something?
Merle (up until just before his final scene), Governor, and now Gareth were and are all disliked on here. But you have people rooting for the likes of Michionne, Tyrese, Herschel, and Carol the most boring characters in the history of television.
Gareth needs to eat Carl. That would be amazing.

Well Bob can't be killed, so he'll have survived the bite since those terminus dudes ate the leg he was bit on. And now Bob is Herschel.

Poor Bob can't catch a break.
As opposed to what? A black samurai housewife? An abused widow who turned into rambo within the span of a few weeks on the show?
They're all goofy but at least the guys I root for are fun.

They're all dumb. This show is pure cheese in every sense. But not everyone likes hammy, mustache twirling villains back-to-back-to-back. What you find fun, others (like myself) find annoying. And that's alright.
(Though I do think your read on Carol is wrong. She didn't transform in a matter of weeks. It was pretty much the only character arc of this show that was paced properly IMO.)

I think the time span between episode one till now has been about two years or so? So they had plenty of time for development, not weeks. This is not Under The Dome.

I just knew I was going to see that here in gif form when it happened lol.
