Ever sink into your couch with a giant bowl of popcorn and wonder: is anyone in The Walking Dead actually immune to that bite? You are not alone. We have all asked that question over the years, usually while nervously hugging a pillow through a tense scene.
Here is the deal: in the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, the bite never promised immunity. Everyone got sick because the zombie virus was already inside them since birth. Wild, right? So technically, nobody is immune because everyone is already a carrier. Mind officially blown.
But the TV show flirted with the idea of a special case. Remember Hershel? Dude lost a leg and somehow survived an unk, because he was tough as nails. And talk about Rick Grimes getting nipped by a walker and pulling through. That felt like a miracle wrapped in survivor's luck.
