If it is Shane's baby, it doesn't help with timeline (between days/weeks/1 month).

Plus, we don't know how long she has been thinkig she is pregnant. It could be a while, but she just had an opportunity to get a test from the pharmacy.

But we do know the Dr. at the CDC after the blood tests to check for the virus whispered something to Rick. Presumeably that it was she is preggo.

How do we know Merle is back? I just watched the episode and didn't notice any hints. What did I miss?

The preview for next weeks show had a quick glimpse of him.

I've got a theory I didn't consider until reading this thread. Based on farmers daughters reaction to the swimmer, and the weird vibes from the family. The Doctor mentioned that they didn't escape unscathed. I think they have some live specimens in the barn/on the farm somewhere. I think he's likely trying to find a cure based on the comments he made about how humans have been experiencing the same fear of a new disease over and over again. And the fear when HIV sprang up.

They also seem to treat the zombies as people still. Outside the one baseball bat incident they seem to be very killing them adverse. The looks between the dr and farmers daughter about guns and shooting practice etc. Her reaction to the swimmer was just odd.

I think you are really on to something here. Do they have walker family members hiding around the farm? Is that why they don't want guns...so nobody goes off on walker family members? Hmmm...for sure something wierd going on with the farm family.

We wondered where they got power from?

Perhaps they have a pack of them walking endlessly on treadmills in the barn...

But will they power a plane trying to take off from said treadmill?

I think it all comes to a head this week. We've seen in the previews that there are walkers coming. After that skirmish they either need to move on or are told to move on.

(Nothing original here just putting a theory together based on other posts) So maybe they've got their undead relatives chained up while the doc tries to find a cure for them. And then the fat walker in the well was a family member that got away maybe. I like it. They've spent so much time with the farmhouse family that something weird has to be going on with them.

Oh yeah and they have walkers on big hamster wheels powering the farm.

BTW, haven't they been using well water this whole time? Wouldn't they already be infected if it can be transmitted through water like that? They aren't getting infected when they have zombie blood all over them, so maybe drinking the dirty water is similar to that?

They mentioned they had 5 wells. This was the one they use for the horses maybe? House is separate.

So your saying they might have zombie horses to deal with.

I didn't hear the 5 wells thing though, that would make more sense then.

You just solved the world's energy crisis!!

Essentialy you could read the comics and not spoil anything from the tv show by reading them.

Eh, not entirely. Like you mentioned, the TV show takes some liberties with action plot lines (CDC, Shane, Daryl/Merle, Sophia getting lost), but it has been staying true to the comic along relational lines (Lori's pregnancy, Glenn/Maggie, Rick/Hershel belief differences). It seems like this story arc on the farm is headed in an identical direction as well. So there is certainly foreshadowing that is highlighted with a knowledge of the comics.

For what it's worth, I read through the comics after starting the TV series, and prefer the subplots and pacing of the show. Both are great though, and I'm glad they aren't identical.

"Took me two months to teach the fat one to say, "row"."

that's funny, "row" is such a simple word.

[Cydkar]

That was freakin gross..
Just shoot the stupid thing and leave it down there.

It was completely stupid. You don't risk a guys life to get that out of there. The well was obviously already contaminated. I quit watching at that point and couldn't come back until the next day it ****** me off so much.

Note to self: Don't eat horse.
