Well the Maddie/Troy relationship, but its obvious one of them is going to die soon and that’s going to be Troy. Also where the fuck is Ofelia? Either there’s going to be some kind of big payoff, or the writers are so dedicated to messing with the audience they keep paying Mercedes Masohn to do her skit on **Talking Dead**?

To borrow a phrase from _The Martian_, it looks like Madison is going to mom the shit out of Troy. And of course we get the dumb-ass plot element of “I think I’ll wonder out alone into the zombie apocalypse chasing after my new boyfriend”. I think either Troy will kill dad or dad will kill Troy. I’m leaning towards the latter.

I ws thinking for a minute that Red-Headed girl was faking her zombieness and would suddenly say “don’t shoot!”

And what kind of writing is it to have a character named Walker on a show about Walkers? It’s not funny; it’s just confusing.
