> [@MeanJoe](#): > > To date in the show, The Governor has shot right handed and aimed with his right eye. Since losing his eye, his aiming has also been from his right eye. I wasn’t saying one cannot shoot right handed and use their left eye aiming - I’m saying The Governor is not one of those people and continues after being blinded to aim with his right (non-existant) eye. > [The Governor aiming with his right/blind eye through a scope during the shootout.](https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/179666_338798112886841_799922646_n.jpg) Well, he hasn’t yet trained himself to shoot left-handed (and probably wouldn’t bother to do so) so as long as he’s okay with never hitting anything, I guess it’s okay. > [@Zjestika](#): > > That might have been how his body saved Carol. But the first shot to the head killed him. Well, it probably did. In any case, the repeated bullets raking his body (but not completely penetrating it) finished him off. ---

> [@Debaser](#): > > Sure we have some silliness such as the bulletproof body protecting someone from dozens of rounds. But it’s a zombie show so I expect stuff like that. You know the special effects guy had fun rigging that up. I’m willing to give them that, since the rounds that were hitting poor Axel were 5.56x45mm, a round that’s designed to fragment easily in tissue rather than overpenetrate and waste energy. If it’d been 7.62mm rounds from Martinez’s FN-FAL, then I’d cry foul. ---

> [@whole\_bean](#): > > I don’t think so. How many prisoners were there? Axel just got killed. Rick fed (or thought he fed) one of them to the zombies. Didn’t two mutiny (so why would they get a proper burial)? Anyone know the answer to this? Oh, maybe I was conflating things with Tyrese’s group. Didn’t they have to bury someone? ---

> [@Just\_Ed](#): > > They made the prisoners dig the graves, and yes, I suppose two of the three were empty (or maybe they buried some specific mementos for Lori and Carol). They didn’t make the prisoners dig the graves. The prisoners offered, and Glenn refused, presumedly because “we bury our own.” Eventually Glenn relented, and grudgingly allowed them to finish the three graves he’d already half-completed. > [@whole\_bean](#): > > If I recall, they were dragging ass doing it out in the heat, too. They may have been, but it wasn’t shown. ---
