My thoughts: Rick is immune, the virus kept him alive after being in the hospital bed for 2 months. He somehow cheated the system by being in the coma, so the virus just kept him alive by thinking he was already turned? Thatās how he survived. I tried to make that make sense, so Iām sorry if it didnāt.

My take: The walkers were faster in seasons one and two because of the "freshness" of their corpses. In later seasons the zombies slowed down (and were in poorer condition) due to cellular degradation and possible a lack of food as the population dwindled (or fortified themselves). We learn in World Beyond that the scientists are working on a way to quicken the degradation process to eventually shorten the "life" span of the walkers.
However, the newly revived zombie in the post credit scene of the last episode of World Beyond is clearly a new type of zombie. She revived much quicker than the old ones, she moved faster, she seemed more agile and coordinated and she went strait for the door (meaning she retains some sort of memory, probably due to them jumpstarting the circulatory system).

My personal theory since the beginning of the series is that they retain some things that are routine for them in their personal life (taking the bus, going to church, going home). The reason why we dont see many examples of this much later in the series is due to the affect of the virus on their brains slowing them down and completely taking their humanity, leaving an empty husk who's only goal is to eat the living (kind of like the virals from dying light, who can run and climb things and can even speak in certain situations only shortly after they've turned. Survivors who we've seen turn don't present these side-effects as they're constantly on the move, leaving no time for a routine to be engraved into their brain which they can act on after the fact. Things like taking the bus, remembering your address, running, etc. are all things that one would routinely do for years on end and are something they're basically meant to do, so after they turn, their brains only instinct is to do what they've been doing for ages. When a survivor out in an unfamiliar location turns, they'll just stand around until provoked as they don't recognize their surroundings, whereas those who turned in the beginning of the apocalypse kept parts of their routine as they turned in their homes, workplaces, etc., places they've probably been to hundreds of times. Just my little theory!

The zombies that displayed some semblance of human behavior -- despite being dead -- were utterly terrifying because that limited human behavior made them less predictable + no more pain sensation. I loved the first season of TWD. Heck, I loved the first 3 seasons of it. But it got stagnant as the years continued to pass us by.

I really wish that the zombies getting less smart was due to them just decaying, but unfortunately it was just the director changing. It would have been interesting to see different variants of zombies who were infected at different times, like faster zombies than other who are running and are a little smarter like opening door knobs and picking up rocks or climbing like the zombies from the mall episode

A line that's continually overlooked when speaking about the varient zombies that we see in the final season of the walking dead was when Aaron, Jerry, Lydia, and Elijah find one. And Aaron says- "I've heard stories of walkers capable of these things, but I thought they were myths" (paraphrase)
I believed this would have to be the writers acknowledging the walkers from season 1 (the rock zombie, Morgan's wife, and the one that jumped the fence when chasing Rick and Glenn)
From my perspective, why we don't see them since season 1, there's two ways to look at it.
Either for one, and most likely especially since it lines up with Aaron's story, it is that these types have been around all long and they actually have encountered them but the zombie wasn't able to showcase their "intelligence" because they slice and diced or shot them too quickly to be able to notice.
But on the other hand, it may be due to in season 1 the zombies were fresher and so their recent memories were still sort of intact, and now they are in fact mutating and becoming more intelligent.
Can't imagine anything I've said is anything new. I just haven't really seen Aaron's line really make any head lines.

This is actually so exciting-- I was so confused as to why Daryl is going to France of all places (seems unnecessarily far away...), but if France is where everything started, then I can't wait to see where and how this will tie in with Daryl's storyline (if this is the case, which hopefully it is!)

The problem with the zombie apocalypse is that they don't drink. And regardless of a low metabolism. Standing in the elements would dry you out. And not to mention bugs love to eat dead flesh. And lay their eggs in it. So the zombies would basically be nothing but squirming piles of maggots by the end of the week.

I always chalked the zombies becoming less threatening up to them rotting. Running and climbing would become exceedingly more difficult the more your body decays. It would make sense they stop running at some point to avoid literally falling apart.
Also, while I do not mind not getting all the answers in a movie, I think that in a long series such as TWD I am kind of owed some answers after watching ten seasons. :P

I think that the zombies early on are still capable of higher cognitive function but that ability degrades over time, which makes sense. Any recently turned zombies we see are either killed instantly or dismembered as a warning kinda thing so we can neither confirm nor deny the cognitive degeneration.

I always assumed there had to be two pathogens. The first is the one that reanimates a body, which everyone has. The second is whatever makes every zombie bite lethal. If everyone was a carrier of the latter, then either everyone would already be dead or bites wouldn't be a big deal (because if everyone's a carrier and every living carrier is clearly asymptomatic).

The walkers was a little smarter in season 1. Morgans walker wife remembered what house they was staying in, she remembered how to ring doorbell, and she remembered how to turn door knob. The little kid rick walked into when he was looking for gas picked up her stuffed toy and was walking around holding it.
