Can any one tell me why Shane and Randall turned into walkers when they were not even bitten or scratched etc ??
This has only just started to happen as well !
Has really disappointed me, like in the movie Diary of the dead, where the king of zombie flicks - George A Romero decided that people who died without even being bitten or scratched etc - automatically came back as zombies !!!!
Why spoil Movies / TV shows like this.

Hello and welcome to the board. I'd recommend using the handy search function for terms such as "They're all infected" and "Bloody hell, those cops weren't scratched or bitten or anything, yet they turned into zombies" and "Had the guy in the tank been bitten?"

The season 2 finale has Rick tell everyone that

Spoiler

theay are all infected, one can die by any means and be reanimated into a Zombie

It is what Dr Jenner whisperd to Rick in the season 1 finale

Are you asking why Shane and Randall turned, or are you asking why the producers/writers decided to go this route with the story?

Turning after death was always there. They planted the seeds for it in Season 1, though they never revealed it to be the case. We haven't witnessed anyone dying without being bitten until it happened to Randall. If you're asking why the writers chose to go this way with the story, take a look at the source material--the comic.

Spoiler

I guess Kirkman, like Romero, likes to "spoil" his TV show and comic.
