They have to have water to drink. Where is that coming from? We often lose electricity where I live due to storms, etc., but we don’t lose water unless a pipe bursts. I don’t want to ask a stupid question, but I honestly don’t know ---

We often lose electricity where I live due to storms, etc., but we don’t lose water unless a pipe bursts. I don’t want to ask a stupid question, but I honestly don’t know The water towers hold a lot of water. If there was no electricity to run the pumps for several months, they would run out of water. Water must be above your faucet to get to your house. The lake it comes from is below the water tower and must be pumped there to said water tower that is above your house and creates water pressure so that you can wash off zombie gook. 🙂 ---

> [@EllisDee](#): > > Oh, people were speculating on who was watching Carol practicing surgery. In hindsight I have no clue, but during the scene my immediate and strong rection was that it had t be Michone. Still leaning that way, but not nearly as convinced as while I was watching. My money is on Carl. There was a certain plotline in the comic book (which, really? Can we even spoiler with the comic book anymore? It’s clearly totally off the rails at this point) which involved a small child dissecting one of the other children when the adults were elsewhere - I assume that Carl’s going to slide into the “psycho kid” niche. Not that he’s far from that in the comic anyway, but they seem to be leaning that way with him in the show. ---
