The Walking Dead & The CDC: An Answer to the Virus?
There has been a lot in the news comparing the world of The Walking Dead to our current circumstances. Remember when The Walking Dead crossed paths with the CDC (Center for Disease Control) in Season One? It’s time to revisit Rick Grimes and the gang arriving at the CDC and the things they learned. Can we learn anything from the show?
Let’s revisit that scene below!
“Wildfire” is the fifth and penultimate episode of the first season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead. It originally aired on AMC in the United States on November 28, 2010. The episode was written by Glen Mazzara and directed by Ernest Dickerson.
In the episode, the survivors deal with the aftermath of the walker attack, and decide to move to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention facilities, hoping to find a cure for an infected Jim (Andrew Rothenberg). Meanwhile, Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal), finding his leadership position challenged by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), succumbs to his inner demons.
Man! Just reading that description makes us want to do a re-watch! Who would join us?

This is post P-90x. I’m saying I watched the videos. I’m not saying I participated. Born in my mom’s basement, I’ve stayed there to embody the stereotype. One day I will rise up… to the main floor of the house.
