What brought Walking Dead's dead to life? New web series explains​

Before AMC's hit series launches into its second season on Oct. 16, we're going to learn exactly what kicked off the zombie apocalypse—through the eyes of one particular zombie.
In Walking Dead's pilot episode, "Days Gone Bye," the good sheriff Rick Grimes stumbles out of a hospital to see a world ravaged by an unseen event that caused the dead to not stay dead. One of the first things he encounters is a legless zombie, slowly making her way from an unseen Point A to an indeterminate Point B.
A new six-part web series, directed and conceived by Walking Dead FX maestro and co-executive producer Greg Nicotero, will tell the story of this zombie—also known by her given name, Hannah—and, through her, reveal the early days of the zombie-laden hell on earth.
The web series will premiere on Oct. 2. The nightmares will begin shortly thereafter.

Hmmm, the books never say what caused the zombie apocalypse, so why is AMC going to? Oh right, $$$.

I am not sure it says that are going to fully explain it, maybe they will.

I agree it is kind of stupid of them to do that but oh well, it is a cool idea.

Season 1 was far from slavish to the source material. Not sure how that = $$$ either. If anything, they're spending $$$ on something a fraction of the television audience will watch for free.

Not knowing makes it all the more effective. I won't watch regardless.

I think Greg Nicotero should have been named show-runner. He is the one most capable of carrying on Darabont's vision while making it his own.

I really don't have faith in the new guy. I really like Darabont's vision and I think we are gonna notice a difference without him.

nicotero was named co-executive producer though and will direct an episode this season.

One of the things I like about the TV series is that they aren't going directly off the comic.

I'll check out the webisodes just for fun.

If the above description is accurate, then it sounds like it will be fully explained. I just like the idea of not knowing what caused it. Besides, what good does that information do now for the survivors? It is not relevant to the story being told. It seems like it is only being done to attract more viewers through another medium (the internet).

that's going to be interesting finding out what went wrong and started this.

I think it'll be interesting to see what happened in the beginning.

I'll watch. So please remind me to do that when the time comes. I'll keep checking the thread, I just can't cram another piece of information in my brain right now...

Me too. I don't think they're going to give away an actual, scientific cause. That would be useless. I think it's just going to chronicle the events from the first WTF moment forward. The mystery will still be in tact, but we'll have more history, kinda like the final episode when they flashback to Shane in Rick's hospital room.
