Actually,everybody's infected with the zombie virus,just did Bob get a bite or scratch that would turn him sooner?Pretty sure Bob had a zombie scratch, just enough to infect him, thats why he was acting so sad.

No,Father Gabriel did something else wrong. He is supposed to become a major character if they follow the comics.I've never read the comics, but I suspect Father Gabriel was helping the Terminus cannibals in some way, even if it was just directing people to go there, fattening them up first with a little canned food perhaps. There's no way a guy like that survives in this kind of world for 18+ months without some kind of protection. At any rate, it's obvious now that Gareth knows of his church and is accustomed to "hunting" there.
I seem to remember when Rick shot Shane ,his former best friend and partner,and killed him in the field , it was a minute or two before he turned in to a zombie and Rick had to kill him again. So the scene in the first episode this season, where they were all in front of the trough seemed to go on more than two minutes. The guy on the table ,(that they said was Gareth's brother-according to Talking Dead) didn't turn either ,but I do remember Gareth saying " let them turn." Also When Carol was in the prison last season ,she was telling Lizzie and her sister that they had to stab their recently departed father in the brain , before he turned. So I wonder how long it is supposed to take before they turn into a zombie? Maybe if we had some history ,like from the CDC episodes , that explained how long it took. I remember the CDC doc showing brain scans and the areas of the brain activated with the virus. I just can't remember how long it takes. Either way in that scene with the Trough , they would have to cut their heads off quickly, unless the meatier portions of the body would turn to zombie too. They should of just beheaded them instead of cutting their throats to be efficient. Having to knock in the head with a bat and then cut their throats and then behead them is a 3 step process . They could of cut it down to just one step and saved time and used a large samuri sword and swooop.... off with their heads. But, that wouldn't have been as shocking .You also have to figure that the zombies are decomposing which makes them unfit to eat(rotten flesh). On Z-Nation they change instantaneously once they die where on the Walking Dead there is some time that passes before they change.
That's what the bat to the back of the skull was for prior to the throat slit. They damaged the brain first, preventing the zombie transformation.Now on Walking Dead , they did not seem to have this problem. They cut the guys throats in front of a trough and then cut them up like cattle. So my question is why didn't the humans they killed in that scene not turn to zombies ?
Andrea's sister (Amy ?) took a while to turn. As I recall, Andrea was laying next to her and actually fell asleep. "Jim", from season 1, at the original camp, got bit and suffered for hours (or was it days ?). The two women (and young girl) that the governor ended up with, when their dad died, they left him in his bed for a while until the governor asked how long he'd been dead. Those examples were on the longer side, not minutes like with Shane.when Rick shot Shane ,his former best friend and partner,and killed him in the field , it was a minute or two before he turned in to a zombie

I've gotten to the point that I don't care what happened or happens in the comics (based on what others post or my son tells us). It's simply 50/50 that what happens there will happen in the show.I know you didn't go into too much detail but can we please not post details like this from the comics?
I only know because I had to look it up. I obviously am not going to say what he did wrong(let it play out on the show),but it's like game of Thrones & the books,sometimes both shows follow what's in the comics/books,sometimes they don't. I only knew about Gabriel because i was looking up the cannibals on Wikipedia,which is where I get my info on both the Walking Dead comics & Game of Throne's books(I like to cheat).I know you didn't go into too much detail but can we please not post details like this from the comics? I know the show doesn't follow them exactly but many of the big story beats are straight from the books. I think most of us would rather read the books or watch the show for ourselves to see what happens than read about it here.
It's fun to come to this thread to discuss the current episodes but I always hesitate to do it because I don't want to read spoilers from the books. Garyd is the first and only person I've ever put on ignore for that very reason.

REALLY? A bop on the head prevents the brain from transforming. Where did you get that idea from? Did they mention that somewhere and I missed it? Or are you just suggesting that ?That's what the bat to the back of the skull was for prior to the throat slit. They damaged the brain first, preventing the zombie transformation.
