Me and my wife could not figure it out, but we figure maybe the "walker virus" can lay dormant in a person until they die... then it takes over?? Shane got it in the bus when he used his knife to cut his hand and rub it on the bus... then he kills a walker with it... then uses it again to cut his hand again.... But we also learned in season 1 at the CDC that it takes days for someone to become a walker.

I think Glen takes over the Dale role. Not sure why he is pulling away from Maggie though. He has Herschel's blessing and everything. I hope they dont kill Maggie off next week!

In the novels, everyone who is dead and has their brain still intact becomes a zombie regardless of bites. I'm assuming that the writers of the TV show will find some way to quirk it to be more exciting. Think about this...there is a zombie Dale in a shallow grave just yards away from the house.

Nah....Dale got shot in the head....to end his suffering. He can't turn as he has a splattered brain.

You never actually saw the shot to the head. They made you assume it. Just like they made you assume that Randall was just dead.
