Exactly, 28 days later made far more sense.

There’s increasing buzz that the offshoot will be a prequel of sorts, one that would chronicle the early days of the epidemic and the effort to contain it. (An AMC rep declined to comment.)

So yea, where does he claim it will never be told?

I guess it was a natural reaction but I'd have been all like...you for reals?

Darryl shot him with a bow in the heart

I thought Darryl was dead though on that Walker. He seemed a bit close for a turn and fire

always been one my issues with this show, I just don't see how these slow dumbass zombies could overrun our military.

They can't. With tanks and bomber plans, there is no way they could overrun the entire population. The only way this could be true is there had to be an event that killed the majority of the people in America at once, like releasing a nerve gas prematurely. We can't assume that the rest of the planet is as fricked up as America. I'm sure China and Japan has their shite under control.

Well they had some athletic semblance in Season 1, Episode 5.

They were escaping from Atlanta and the black guy Zombie hopped the fence and started sprinting.

Completely out of character.

That and them being able to walk up stairs but not open door knobs.

It's not really consistent considering the brain function should be mushy and their limbs atrophied.

Doubtful. A lot of sick and poor in China dying on the streets every hour..with a billion people..come on.

I'm assuming the world is just as fricked up sine Jenner said there is NO contact with anyone else out there.

who is this Kirkman and what is his importance to the show?

The creator of the comic.

They're doing an entire spinoff show with Kirkman leading it about the early days of this ZA. When did he ever say it wouldn't be told? He's creating a whole other show about it.

I don't know where you read that because, well, sorry to be blunt but you're wrong. From The Walking Dead wiki:

Cause of OutbreakEdit

Kirkman explained that going back to explain how the government originally collapsed, "...doesn't interest me, for the time being...I may change my mind eventually."[3] As to the cause of the zombie outbreak, Kirkman wrote, "I have ideas [about the cause of the zombie plague]...but it's nothing set in stone because I never plan on writing it. So yes...I do know...kind of."[4]

In response to a question:

"I think you should elaborate more on how people can turn into zombies without one biting you, or how this whole mess started in the first place. Was it like a plague or a rapture kind of thing?"

Kirkman responded:

"...That starts to get into the origin of all this stuff, and I think that's unimportant to the series itself, There will be smaller answers as things progress ... but never will we see the whole picture."[5]

I believe it may not be the original escape from Atlanta. Might not have right episode. When they went back for Merle when they were on the bus. The black guy completely scaled the fence and took off sprinting.

Kirkman doesn't need to fill a plot hole with something that will lead to more plot holes.

No answer for the origins will ever satisfy.
