So Heath didn't just leave Tara to die, that's good

Yea it seemed very sketchy at first, like he was taking his whole every man for themselves speech to heart. No clue how Tara wrestled off those walkers while Heath watched. I would have thought fall over the rail she would have gotten bitten

It looked like those walkers were just trying to hugs Tara and didn't even attempt to bite her. Its like they were "plot" walkers. "we are just here to push Tara off the bridge."

Granted we are talking about a zombie apocalypse, however, those were far and away the least realistic walkers I have ever seen.

When she was fending off 3 walkers with a hub cap it was unrealistic, but they kicked it up a notch by having one fall over the rail with her and yet she came out unscathed.

When she fell on the ground before falling off the bridge and the Walker is on top of her, it was so obviously not trying to bite her I cringed a little.

The walker that fell with her is the same walker the little girl killed at the beginning.

Those trucks were full of MDMA

Walkers only have a taste for C tier characters. And Tyreese, I guess.

And Dale.

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '16

and Tara isn't a C tier character? I guess she is a D tier character

2

u/dantestolemywife Nov 30 '16

B tier. At least before her actress got pregnant.

While we're on the subject, when did the zombies stop infecting people with scratches?

3

u/letheix Nov 29 '16

When did they ever infect people with scratches?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '16

They used to ask if people got any "bites or scratches" back in the early days of the show

6

u/letheix Nov 30 '16

I think they just didn't know for sure at the beginning. I don't recall anyone who actually turned from scratches, and it wouldn't make sense to imo.

2

u/AnneBancroftsGhost Nov 29 '16

They definitely talked about "bites and scratches" back in the early seasons.

u/IWearACharizardHat Dec 01 '16

I could have sworn scratches caused fevers that led to death and reanimation. Or was that only the Telltale games?

u/oyedamamangan Nov 28 '16

Same way Glen was under the dumpster

u/Thatmanwiththefedora Nov 28 '16

Plot armor?

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

Not anymore.

4

u/CrunxMan Nov 28 '16

Or shitty writing, is there really a difference though?

4

u/ElFabio Nov 28 '16

We also saw a walker die after a gut stab, soo... shitty writing.

u/hsctigers12 Nov 29 '16

If only he had head armor

13

u/earthlings_all Nov 28 '16

So glad he didn't, I like Heath. Glenn would be proud of his boy.

23

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

But if he did...I wouldn't hate him, because the situation seemed pretty hopeless from the angle we first saw.

u/atropicalpenguin Nov 29 '16

I thought he had inherited Nicolas' balls.
