Heehee. This made me giggle like a little girl. Which is quite the accomplishment since I’m a gray-haired old man.
I assume Herschel had access to antibiotic drugs to fight bacterial infection, and his family had some medical knowledge. The tourniquet, removing his leg, and a will to live, would have stopped the possibility of his dying from infection and/or blood loss.
I believe Bob died from bacterial infection. The dirty, contaminated water in the basement had to be chock full of bacteria, and the bite of a dirty walker mouth only drove the bacteria deeper. No antibiotics leads to being written out of the show.
Tyreese seems to have lost his will to live. The only voice in Tyreese’s hallucination (all of the voice’s in Tyreese’s hallucination belonged to Tyreese) reminding him that he had agreed to do whatever it took to help the group was Governor/Tyreese. Beth/Tyreese, and the sisters/Tyreese were telling Tyreese it was OK to die. Martin/Tyreese kept reminding Tyreese that Tyreese had fucked up. The Governor/Tyreese was the good guy. He was the only one encouraging Tyreese to live.
Hmm … this all sounds familiar.:mad:
to…?
Something about the sum of their ages being a house number and the product of their ages being 36, maybe.
Maybe Wile E has zombie twin brothers.
It’s funny that infection from bites kills fairly rapidly, but if you get shot or stabbed, you can just throw a dirty sock on the wound and you’ll be fine.
I think the way we’re supposed to suspend disbelief here is by saying that the walkers are rotting corpses and thus full of all kinds of nasty stuff that can kill you if it gets in your bloodstream.
I find it slightly odd that Glen has yet to grow anything more than Five o’Clock shadow, and even that’s only a vague hint (so much so, it’s even become a meme).
Walker bites are not a run of the mill infection.
Whispy, disappointing facial hair is a thing a lot of men have to deal with.
The priest has a shaved head, and Abe obviously trimms regularly. Everyone grooms, except when the director doesn’t want them to. Daryl used to have shorter head & facial hair, and was easier to look at. I’m not necessarily anti-beard, but jeez. Manscape a little. 
I read an interview with the actor playing Glen, and he said:
Shane must have been all out of dirty socks. 
This was one lame-ass episode. I hate it when they try to talk all deep and profound-like; it just comes off as stupid and boring. I also hate it when people who have survived the zombie apocalypse for three years forget Survival Rule Number Freaking One - Clear the house before you start staring at pictures on the wall for half an hour. “Oh my God, there’s two boys here who look the same! I’ve never seen anything this fascinating before…” CHOMP! Gah.
Weak episode. So freaking weak. At least they’ve figured out that staying in contact with other members of their group is a good idea; I’m not sure why they can’t find a vehicle big enough for, what, eight people? Together is always better than separate.
On a completely different note, regarding Rick as a kindazombie, he did totally bite that guy in the neck a few episodes back!
Two vehicles makes more sense. That way they won’t have to spend another season on a farm when one breaks down. They could just pile into vehicle 2 and keep rolling.
Fifteen people, counting Judith (who obviously makes little difference in terms of space). Splitting into two cars seemed reasonable to me, not only because they short bus is gone but also in terms of risk management. You’d want to do something to minimize the danger to the baby. So two cars; split your four best fighters (Rick, Michonne, Daryl, Abraham) evenly between cars; put your best potential backup leader (Carol) in a separate car from the current leader); et cetera. It was well thought.
And while I myself commented to lil sis that Tyreese’s death was directly attributable to lack of scavenging discipline, I can buy it. It made me think of Rick’s advice to Carl when they first found the church, when he said they Carl wasn’t safe and should never let his guard down. While that’s entirely right, it’s also impossible to keep up at all times. No one has that much mental stamina. It’s like saying, “The best way to keep out of zombie jaws is to sprint everywhere.”
Everybody will eventually make a mistake. In this universe, mistakes are likely to be lethal. And of course you can do everything right and still lose, as Picard once said to Data.
Okay, I’ll give you the two cars and splitting people up the way they did. I can’t give you not simply shutting the door behind you as a matter of course when you go into a new area. In my modern life, I remember to lock the door behind myself every time I go out and every time I come in again - these guys need to develop the habits that will keep them alive.
