"That just wouldn't happen"
8 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Watching this, the phrase "that just wouldn't happen" quickly became a running joke between us. If Unbelievable decisions, human interaction(or lack off) and out right stupidity to the point of the viewers frustration is your kind of thing, watch away.

Travis

what was the point on the build up of Travis teaching survival to the kids, even saying that his neighbour had the right idea stocking up food, if the guy watches a police office stock piling water clearly gives him look of approval, but doesn't think its a good idea for him to do that himself?(that wouldn't happen) I thought Travis was going to be the guy to get everyone organised, show them the MANY errors of their ways.

Madison

Anyone got a teenage daughter? tried getting them to do basically anything without at least some kind of explanation? how about getting your teenage daughter to leave her boyfriend to die, then get your teenage daughter to watch your neighbour get killed but not help, and do all of this while she is demanding to be told why but don't give here even one word of an explanation as to what's going on for the entire time.(that wouldn't happen)

Madison + tobias

anyone up for grabbing some food from the school, after you've got the food, ran it through the corridor, picked up the stuff you dropped along the way, then JUST LEAVE IT? did the writers just forget they had a trolley full of food earlier?(that wouldn't happen) Ignoring the just let the zombie head teacher walk up and try and bite me without even taking 1 step backwards(also wouldn't happen)

Alicia

so she doesn't seem to have much love for her step dad, and is pretty blunt with her mum, clearly loves her boyfriend(but she leaves him to die without any explanation) but through all this, she does seem to really care for her brother, seen with her conversations about him with her boyfriend and her sitting on the bed and feeding him. But she will happily leave him to go through withdrawals alone that she HERSELF said was very dangerous for him to go back to her boyfriends after promising her mother she wouldn't. she was happy to leave her boyfriend earlier when no one needed her, now she has a huge responsibility to her brother the only person she actually has been shown to care about, she ups and leaves?(that wouldn't happen)

Nick

So am I right in thinking, although basically all he's done is lay down and throw up a lot, the drugged up nick, has so far saved the most people, is drawn top with most zombies put down and has done nothing anywhere near as stupid as the other characters despite being off his tits most of the time?

All I can say is, if you cant write characters that have more brains than your average druggy, stop writing characters.
