  • Not necessarily, since we’d already thought he died once before, so it might’ve even been confusing and some people would’ve been saying he might still be alive and might come back again. The gore of it drives it home in the most unmistakeable way, which is what really makes all the risks realistic from then on.

    Remember, the whole point is the real monsters are the people, not the zombies.



  • I think the connection to the cast that the viewers had at that point was exactly what made the scene so impactful. Many other deaths that seemed just as brutal didn’t hit as hard, and aren’t even mentioned whenever the topic comes up. The implied death before then with the “Never mind, he’s still alive!” was really where I felt insulted, and might’ve been another reason for his death to feel more real when it actually happened so vulgarly.

    Taking it out on the whole team seems a bit much, though.

    I guess in movies or tv nowadays they kind of all have to have flaws to seem realistic and not too Dr. Cosby (heh).

    So her being flawed wouldn’t really be a good way to justify her actions, since the reality should be that they’re all human. Not to say that her actions were terrible or the worst of the bunch, but sometimes she just wasn’t likeable, and downright cruel other times.
