There was time between Shane’s death and his reanimation: Commercial break + flashes. My theory is that Shane was infected sometime in the past, saw that he was infected and purposely infected Randall, then killed him. Then committed suicide by Rick, AFTER opening he fences they showed at the beginninf of the Episode. Therefore attempting to condemn everyone.

I like the way that Shane dies in the comic better than the show.

I wonder if it had to do with the boy killing a live person rather than a zombie because of T.V. restrictions? …

@Craig Rick made sure they won’t by shooting both in the heads after he outdrawn them
Dr. Jenner told them the reanimation process varies from people to people: “The brain stem reanimates from a few minutes to 8 hours after death.”

Well, one of the guys in the bar didn’t reanimate because Rick shot him in the head, but we don’t know if the other guy came back or not, since everything got crazy outside.

I love all these theories that are going around. Can’t wait for the season finale

What about Dave and Tony, the two guys that were shot in the bar with Herschel and Glen?? Why didn’t they reanimate in like 4-5 minutes like Shane did?

And also isn’t it weird that they went on this big walk so that Shane could murder Rick… and the farm house is like a field away??

A spoiler alert would of been nice for the Shane thing, since it was the most recent ep.

I had to say this on Uproxx, and I see I have to say it here as well. Has ANYONE even watched the ORIGINAL Romero trilogy? EVERYONE becomes a zombie REGARDLESS of how they die. All the old people who die of heart attacks? Re-animation in 3-5 minutes. All the people on life support in the hospitals and the power goes out? Re-animation. In the original “Night of the Living Dead”, the little girl turns into a zombie, kills her mother by stabbing her, and the mother turns into a zombie a few minutes later.

It seems that everyone now likes to follow the 28 days later/Resident evil (videogames) logic of “you only turn if bitten”.

There was never an explanation in the Romero films, and I’m guessing there’s no explanation here. Glad that the writers of the comic/show have kept the original Romero idea.

A shame none of you have figured it out.

Not to mention the scratch Shane took at the school with Otto… He discovered it when he shaved his head(?), and when he heard about walkers being turned without being bitten, was putting 2 and 2 together.

Personally, i thought his bit with the prisoner kid was the onset, (the time dilation, the frenzy), and finally resulted in the blind aggression that led him to his final scheme…?

But yes, terrific. Definitely paving over some much stranger and sillier moments past. Where DO they go from here?

if you remember in the first season when they were in the CDC and at the end of the season before they escaped it, the scientist pulled Rick to him and told him something that has yet be disclosed in the show, however i strongly believe that he told Rick that everyone is infected and that they will turn if they die even without a zombie bite. I believe the scientist discovered this when he took all they blood samples when they first entered the CDC.
