[QUOTE="BraveSirRobin, post: 5844282, member: 3590"] A little late to the party, but a few comments. I think people are overstating Carl's "wandering" and stupidity of his actions. Its not like he went for a random hike through the woods. The kid is coming into his own and there has been a build up surrounding his feelings that he can and should be involved in the groups actions. He wants to be involved and is watching the dichotomy between how his father and shane handles things. That's why he is playing with the gun shells. That's why he steals the gun. He goes into the woods not to [I]wander [/I]but to check the gun out, hardly a stupid action for a ~10 year old boy. You can see the confidence in himself by the way he is walking through the woods. He's seen his two father figures handle situations with guns and has no reason to think he can't do the same. That of course changes when he sees the stuck zombie. Shaken by the experience he is quickly learning that Shane might actually be right about the dangers of outsiders, which is why he encourages his father to kill Randall. This is emphasized like a dagger through the heart when he realizes it was the same zombie that he was too weak to kill that ended up killing Dale. As for the group continuing to stay on the farm, I think it still makes sense. The area is remote which is why Herschel's family has been able to live there so long, has natural defenses against roamers in the swamp, has fresh well water, runs on generator power and is a fully functional farm. You don't leave a place like that unless you absolutely have to. And lastly with regards to the zombie infection through blood splatter, don't assume that these are just details the writers are missing. Remember when Shane and Rick are looking at the bodies of the two guards and find no bites? Recall when Shane stabs a zombie with his knife and then cuts his hand? These aren't oversights. They are trying to tell you something. [/QUOTE]
