One of the characters I identify with is/was Milton, for his experiments/observations. I've often thought that the Walkers demonstrate 'positive' reactions to some sensory input (loud sounds, unmasked smell of live humans) and neutral reactions to others (they don't seem to be attracted to color or movement in the absence of loud sound and ignore humans masked with Walker gore). If I were in a somewhat safe/stable situation in that world, I'd try to investigate deterrents/repellents, like sounds of a certain pitch (dog whistles, anyone?) or particular scents (wouldn't it be great if Walkers were repulsed by vanilla, or coffee? ;) Any discussions planned along these lines?

Actually, way back in the first or second episode, there was a scene with Morgan and his son in their house, and the wife/mother walker did turn the door knob. That's not something I recall seeing since, and I assumed the writers have deliberately 'forgotten' it in order to introduce just that kind of learned behaviour in the future as a major twist. (Like the plot twist when it's discovered that anyone will 'turn' when they die, whether or not they've been bitten.)

So in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, folks should head for Gilroy ;)
