So Lee is done. And the "doctor" is the perv on the radio. I guess we have a new protagonist for season 2.

Killing Lee will be a very gutsy move on the part of TT but why take a risk to introduce an entirely new character for season 2 when we are invested into Lee? A grown up Clem might work but that means jumping the story 8 to 10 years and I can't see that. Love it or hate, I will play episode 5.

Ya I don't see the point of having a new protagonist. Just would be a hit or miss. And if every season they just kill everyone off what's the point?

You can hear the walker chomp on his wrist so that pretty much erases all doubt about it not being a bite to me.

thats why i know they won't kill Lee. Its the same reason they won't kill Rick

No point in dragging a character through all that crap just to kill him off. then its just pointless.

The one thing is they have said they knew the ending since they started episode 1. Before they even knew they would have a second season. So in my eyes the don't see what they're about to do. Poor Lee

Merc · 10/11/2012, 09:08 am

It's just a scratch--he's not like the others. All ya'll are jus' making it worse!

Merc I love Lee almost as much as Kenny is crazy, it's hard but Lees going to die.

Don't make it hard on him, Just one between the eyes.

ITIATT · 10/11/2012, 09:35 am

Maybe Lee's a Robot?

Kirkman said Rick's death is a possibility, in order to keep the story realistic. It might happen, it might not. Heck, maybe sacrificing Lee means Rick will live, since we now have a protagonist who's going to die.

Yeah, no. He specifically states that he isn't Vernon - and why would he lie? He doesn't need to be dishonest at all; he has Lee by the short and curlies.

No, it's not. The show can't kill Rick because it doesn't have the right to; the comicbook probably won't kill Rick because it's established him, painstakingly, over the course of years of hard work. On the other hand, TTG has established a character that is, for all intents and purposes, a complete throwaway. Think about it: his parents, his brother? Dead. Girlfriend? Wife? No. Kids? None. What is the only thing he has to take care of? Clementine. Once she's safe - or on the road to safety - Lee is, ostensibly, meaningless.

Oh you know they won't kill lee do you? Even after being chomped on by a zombie you are SURE he will still not die? Lol

His dead a zombie bite or scratch is death in the wd world, hell its death in most zombie films even if you cut the limb off.

LokiHavok · 10/11/2012, 11:21 am

He will die. And it will be glorious!

rachellouise85 · 10/11/2012, 11:32 am

where does the scratch thing come in as deadly? Is that in the tv show?

Ja1862 · 10/11/2012, 11:41 am

Its something to do with breaking the humans skin I assume?
In the romero world zombie blood also kills you, sure it would in this as well from all the infections.

rachellouise85 · 10/11/2012, 11:45 am

Yeah, I get the passing through broken skin. Always thought it was the bite, because the infection was passed from the saliva or something into your blood. Like if you had an open wound and the zombie drool, maybe blood, got in it, you would get the probably get infected too, but I haven't heard it being passed with a scratch.

Well, in the show (haven't read enough of the comics to be sure, but I would assume it runs true for both), a CDC scientist states - I believe - that any skin-breaking contact with the infected, whether it's a bite or a scratch, will slowly kill the recipient. A really highly varying time window (between hours and days, usually) passes before they become feverish and fatigued. Eventually they lose consciousness and "die," for all intents and purposes - and are then reanimated as walking corpses, vis-a-vis the disease that all humans apparently have now.

rachellouise85 · 10/11/2012, 12:17 pm

I don't believe it is written in the comics that scratches will also give you the infection. Unless I've missed a panel somewhere, (haven't read the latest one either) Keep meaning to watch the tv show. Just need to find the time, now the more I miss, the more time I need x)

Gman5852 · 10/11/2012, 12:20 pm

what I hate is that Lee CAN survive a zombie bite by amputating his arm, but it's too late for that now. Sucks, that he will probably die like that when he could've lived, but it's still pretty dramatic.

Comics I believe have stated that you can't die from scratches.

The_Cheshire_Cat · 10/11/2012, 12:23 pm

Damnit! I still wanna know Lee's back story. What the heck happen with the murder thing?

Will he be on his death bed telling his life story while Clem looks on with a gun pointed at his head?

Let the "Player" pull the trigger. Tis only right
