There was a scene in Season 1 (I think) where there was a helicopter that flew over Atlanta and the zombies seemed to notice it and start off in that direction. Do you think that the zombies are heading in a particular direction, with a sort of hive mentality, perhaps strengthened, or even started by that incident?

I was thinking that the kill goes 'cold' at some point and technically loses its appeal. Since they seem to like feasting only on something that has a beating heart/pulse, that as soon as they kill it and everything stops for a bit, then it becomes 'dead' and they lose interest in it. Just a theory.

What about 'learning'? One thing is that animals tend to learn by watching or by trying over and over to do something. I think the scary thing would be if the zombies learned to turn doorknobs, undo latches, climb ladders...so far, it seems they are not able to do that. Do you think our Walking Dead zombies are capable of 'learning behavior'?

I thought that I had seen that, but since it hadn't come up again, I thought maybe she had just 'knocked against' the door knob, making it jiggle, but had not actually grasped it to turn it. // I am also getting a sense that the zombies are particularly strong for rotting hulks...being able to tear into flesh and crack rib cages is no small feat.
