Well, I think I'm done with this show. Yup. there's going to be a ton of angry fans.

Why are you done with the show? Personally, I just started counting the minutes until mid-October.

Kirkman said there were going to be a lot of angry and hurt people on Monday morning, so anything goes I suppose. It's also been said the very last spoken line of the show tonight is crucial and leaves a HUGE cliffhanger. Andrew Lincoln questioned the writers about the level of violence and if they are going too far. I'm guessing everyone eats some Beth steak and Maggie, Bob and one other main bites it big time.

In the book, they sort of have a workaround. The established "science" from the Governor's camp was the 'dead decay more slowly. I don't remember if the comic explains why the cannibals do not eat zombies, but if a group can square the circle on eating people and believe you're won't turn from it, then what is stopping you from catching a walker and doing a blind taste test?

In one episode of Season 3 Milton does say the Biters are decaying only more slowly,(?). I can't recall the exact episode.

I think I have a reason to dismiss the cannibal theories.

If EVERYONE is infected with the zombie virus wouldn't eating human flesh be effectively the same as eating a zombie which would turn the eater into a zombie ?

This article has hints so *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*. It also comments on the connection to the comic book locale Terminus:

This article has the merest mention of the spin-off series but it's so little I'll paste it here:

"While news on the announced Walking Dead “companion series” has been slim, today the network revealed Sons of Anarchy co-executive producer Dave Erickson is going to be joining with Robert Kirkman to pen the new zombie drama and will executive produce should it go to series. This announcement comes days before the finale of the current season of The Walking Dead and right off the heels of MyNetworkTV nabbing exclusive syndication rights for the show starting this fall."

Maybe they think it'll reverse the virus. Like getting vaccinated.

I think they are cannibals at Terminus.

like otheres have said cannibals don't really make sense, seems like there would be plenty of canned food around, doesn't Georgia have big box stores? Giant cans of Beefaroni

Excellent connection...I would've never put that together.

And I can take no credit for this. It was floating around on Facebook. I would have never put it together on my own either.

No, it's something like the meat hasn't spoiled yet.

This ups the creep factor for Terminus:
