According to the finale episode of the TV show season 1, most of the brain get's rotted, including parts that controls emotions and thinking, so only the basic functions would be working. ( That would be kind of equivalent to Cerebral death, since you're considered dead if these functions aren't working )
Okay, THIS question has always bothered me: what happens to your mind and soul when you become a walker? Is your mind and soul stuck in your… more body until someone destroys your brain, or do you go to Heaven/Hell regardless of if you become a walker or not?
Even though they met a CDC scientist, I wouldn't take anything the walkers did on the first season of the TV Series as a guide to how they work. They were seen picking up objects which they had an emotional connection with, even thought it's known that they don't think further than getting food?

Well, I mean true it was a bit different from what it is now, but this scene was a bit explicit on how the infection spreads, and it clearely rotted most of the brain, enought to kill someone ( I am not a neurologist {YET}, but I am pretty sure if you get more than 10% of your brain damaged you die :P ).
And I think they tried to show that there were no emotions, by 're-activating' part of the brain when the scientist's wife turned, because it'd be showing that only the basic funcitons are 'ON'.

How the got to the top and started grabbing for the boat idk.
Michonne and Pete were near the shoreline, which means shallow water. They're only a few inches under the boat, all they really had to do was reach up and grab it.
As far the topic of walking on water altogether, if we want to be technical, TWD universe's rules are basically the rules from Romero's Living Dead series. And if you watched Land of the Dead, yes, zombies can indeed walk underwater there. Whether or not they'd end up floating due to gasses and etc is up for debate, but I suppose you could justify that on the principle that decomposition just affects zombies differently than it does humans, and I can remember Kirkman once saying that whatever causes reanimation also slows down the decay process, so it makes some sense.
The water isn't what's affecting them. Dead don't float because they don't have any gasses in them like alive people do, which is why they were on the walking on the ground of the water. How the got to the top and started grabbing for the boat idk.

That guy is such a pretentious douchebag it blows my mind.
Honestly, Kirkman doesn't really strike me as pretentious. In fact, he seems pretty self-deprecating, at least from interviews I've read/seen, as well as Letter Hacks and the like. But what I do know for certain is that he's a sarcastic, wise-cracking motherfucker.
While I can respect someone trying to come up with an explanation, that one still doesn't work. Sarita says she found him holed up in a restaurant, and says that he had a beard at that point, so the timeline wouldn't match up.
Someone said that telltale said on an interview that there was a door to a restaurant in the place he almost died ( sorry I don't know how to name this in english :v ), and that's also how he met Sarita.
Why is it that nearly every male character ends up growing a beard? Rick - Hershel - The Governor - Kenny, and etc?
...This isn't an… more actual question, is it?
And why is it that whenever the character gets a much needed shower, or comes back from a dark place, he shaves his beard off, like Rick, and the Governor?
Because they were depressed and didn't bother to maintain their beard as they most likely saw no point to or simply didn't have a razor. Coming back from a dark place usually sparks the need to change up your physical appearance. It's why some people in the real world get hair cuts or dye their hair to feel a change in themselves.
Why is it that nearly every male character ends up growing a beard? Rick - Hershel - The Governor - Kenny, and etc?
well once a boy reaches a certain age hormones are released and the process of puberty begins where they begin to grow facial hair while other changes occur, once a boy has gained this ability to grow facial hair they have it for the rest of their lives and if it isn't contained (shaved) it can sprout into a lovely beard and in a zombie apocalypse its a bit hard to contain it when things such as razors and shaving cream are not as common as they used to be and so begins the outbreak of beards

Also, if the Game was made into a movie, who do you think would be good choices for the following characters...
Lee... Kenny... Lilly... Carver... Luke...?
Also, how long a time span was it on the show between Rick losing the prison - to entering Alexandria?
How did the planks of wood that fell before Sarah did, end up trapping her legs to the point where not even with Jane's intervention could they be moved.

Ok I just found this
Walking Dead producer and special effects supervisor Greg Nicotero has gotten into costume three times. He plays the zombie that bites Amy on the neck in Season One, a zombie eating a deer in the same season, and a walker in Woodberry in Season Four.
Ok, I've had this burning question for a while and hopefully someone can answer it...
Kirkman says that there is one walker in the comics… more that appears no less than 3 or 4 times throughout the series, I believe. I've scoured the comics trying to find the walker but I can't.
Does anyone have any info on the recurring walker?
Food decomposes. Although we would've probably been able to find some canned food, but I doubt that they would've lasted enough time for him to grow a beard.
With the alleyway, I think he could've just ran past all the Walkers, he just had to push them out of his way, with the dark hallway, I think he may have fell down an elevator shaft?
Question. How did Hershel survive his bite? Blood travels VERY quickly. By the time you've read this, the blood from your fingertips has already gone to your heart. To your brain. To your other finger. Another one. Anothah one. Anoddah one. (In all actuality I seek answers!)

How so? Jane escapes a building through a skylight she has to jump up to and Sarah escaped a huge horde of walkers.... Although Kenny technically did originally die in those instances, or at least I believe that was what had happened to him at the time.
I've always thought that they locked the walker in there. It was the first day of the outbreak, so people didn't know how to handle them properly yet. Remember that Clem opened the door.
The 'zombie virus' is already in everyone's brain and once a person dies that virus takes control. Unlike what most people think, the zombies do not have a 'venom' that turns people into one of them (that's why when people die they also become zombies) instead they have a bacteria that weakens people's immune system which makes the wound from the bite cause a grave infection that kills people. Since Hershel's wound was cut of and they properly cauterized (I think?) the cut he managed to survive.
In the comics it is like a venom tho.
(I took all this info from this wikia page (http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Zombies). If you scroll dowjn to 'Infection' you can read what happens with more detail).

just ate the leftover form the restaurant

Well, the place he almost dies is even determinant—a building and an alleyway—so I don't see the logic in that. I don't really think that the restaurant was in Savannah, to be honest. Chances that the restaurant wasn't there are far higher that if it was, for the fact that there are more buildings not on that scene than there are building on that scene, and none of it hint of being a restaurant. Kenny had to travel across a couple of states, too.
Telltale said that he survived by getting in a restaurant, they really weren't planning to do "Kenny is alive", but they did it, and what they said is what is reflected into the series, so he did entered a restaurant, and it had to be in the alley, because there was no way for him to just run across a horde without the gut clothes or being superman. We justs have to assume he had enought food because he would be alive if he did not ( obviously ), being probably not in shape to move after having to deal with that many walkers by himself, than after maybe a mounth or so ( you can survive around one mounth without food so even if he didn't have much it was still possible for him to survive without it ) Sarita ran across him and formed a 'group'. I don't know how big the US states are, but 16 mounths seem enought to travel trough them...

Oh, no, I think that he snuck into that building in the alley route, too! I was questioning whether that building was the restaurant that Sarita mentioned, because it may very well be somewhere else. I'd appreciate a link to that article.

I don't remember were I got it from, but it was a trustable enought source :v ( and it was from a interview with the telltale staff ) ; Well yeah it might not be the actual restaurant, but it couldn't be that far from the alley, as he was probably injuried and not in shape to go too far, I would say a maximum of 2 or 3 blocks, but I don't think it really matters :P
ps- I have no idea on how I misspelt the word month four times ... hehehe

Very interesting. So maybe he wasn't trolling about the show, but I've yet to find the recurring zombie in the comic. Thanks for the find though! Super cool stuff

They kill all walkers, fix civilization and when someone dies, stab them in the head to stop them from turning, they clear every continent and find every survivor they can, but that would be pretty boring so maybe it will end with everyone dying

At least Fear the Walking Dead can further elaborate on this, since it is kind of confusing.

Approx 235 Days. Prison Found at Day 302, Alexandria found at Day 537
I wanted comic Andrea on TV. Not whatever the hell tv Andrea was. Not a question just a rant
Maybe he was too weak to move from there, and just ate the leftover form the restaurant, until Sarita ran accros him, maybe a mounth later or so

Well, apparently it did lasted long enough :>
We don't know if he actually stayed in a restaurant next to the place that he almost died, though. :>
We can just assume he does, because that's what makes the most sense.
Maybe they just got there?
I don't think so, they stayed there long enought to see the other group try to break into the gun store, fail terribly, die and then turn.
Your right, maybe there was a
A what?

I used to love Hole In The Wall
