The location they have now is fairly secure and close enough to the city (and probably smaller towns) that they can go on small raids to get whatever they want. If they were to stock up and then head to a deserted area, they would still have to return from time-to-time in order to get more supplies, specifically food, which their current location has.Why are they sticking so close to a major city that is absolutely OVERRUN with zombies instead of stocking up and heading to deserted areas?
There probably isn't an in-depth answer to this. He was probably just stupid. If you want a longer answer, he was probably freaking out because the zombies at the door, the sun blazing down on him probably fried wahtever intelligence he did have on him (since he was there about a day, just baking), and he probably just didn't think of it. People aren't really at their most rational when met with situations of brutal death.Why did redneck dude cut off his hand when he could have hacked at the rusty, worn down looking piping or just broken/cut his thumb to wiggle out of the cuffs?
He said he didn't know how when they first arrived back at the camp.Why the hell did Asian dude drive all that way with the alarms blaring?
The show has focused on a group of people that do not have a scientist or specialized doctor in order to deduce the cause of the zombification. Also, they probably just don't know and are merely trying to survive.Why is no one explaining how all this zombie stuff started out in the first place?
Yeah, I don't understand either of those. I think it was just a small plot point for them to use at that time and, possibly, in future episodes. The safety on the gun would be more believable if it wasn't a god damn zombie apocalypse. You'd think that would be the first thing you learn, aside from "shoot the mothersmurfers in the head!"While I fully expect a significant amount of reverting back to traditional gender roles in times of apocalyptic crisis, I don't buy for a second that 100% of the washing would be done by women while one man stands around smoking a cigarette and another man sloshes around playfully looking for frogs. How does that make any sense? And the lady with the gun doesn't even know that the safety is on despite currently having to fight for her life?
