I don't get why the rest of the group doesn't just pop a round into their fallen.

Does their aiming skills end when it is their own group being eaten alive? My dying words would be "shoot me you fuckers".

My last words would be, "tell tattoo sleeve girl that I love her! "

So how could Nicholas shoot himself if he's out of bullets? Unless he has an extra mag on him which we didn't see him change out...

I think throughout the episode Nicholas was showing a lot of doubt in himself. That's why Glenn could pick that up and keep telling him he's not that person he was in the past. Inevitably it got the best of Nicholas. So it more than likely he saved that one bullet left.

I can't recall exactly every detail of the scene, how many shots were taken or whether Nicholas had an extra bullet/mag. The director probably should have shown him loading the gun but what's done is done.

Solid list! I feel like another I have heard is, 'Geeks'

Thank you. I kept saying that to myself too. Like what dafuq are they doing? Hurry up and kill them and move your asses out there!

TWD logic: Oh no. One of our men has been viciously bitten by a walker. Lets just stand here and pause as they cry out in agony. No no, don't put two in the head. Nope, don't even thing of stabbing them either. Let them suffer.

This is all they need: a motor with it's output shaft tied to a sheet metal blade ( Half-life 2 reference ) .

The walkers hear the engine... get close.. then Wack ! .. no more head/torso... this simple device would kill hundreds before needing to be moved ( due body buildup )

Yeah, I couldn't believe they just stand and watch. They're clearly horrified. Heath is the only one that steps up and pulls them away, saying "there's nothing we can do!" But come on, man. You could've shot him. The girl was too lost I think, they had to run or die with her. But the guy, that fence had them safe. They could've shot him.

Apparently once the "stench of the living" mingles with the clothes or becomes noticeable to the deadheads the illusion is gone. So in essence, yeah you're right lol.

I think I got them all. There's probably more.

Walkers
Rotters
Dead Heads
Lame Brains


Probably another dozen from different novels that will pop into my head at the weirdest of times (I almost yelled "Dead Heads" in the middle of a staff meeting this afternoon when I thought of it)

They had loads of time to shoot her in the head and at the 8 feet they seemed to be away it would have been an easy shot.

I was tempted to make this list political. but rules are rules.

I don't really care for character development episodes. Especially following a cliff hanger episode last week.

That's how the dealer keeps you coming back for more.

Personally I like it. Otherwise it's just a bunch of random people running around killing zombies. That'll work for a movie but not a TV show for years.
