The Walking Dead 4.2 "Infected" (spoiler alert)

Considering he's one-manned a horde and lost a leg and seems to still be cool as a cucumber, I'd say he'll never snap.

I dunno, man. This is the guy that had a barn full of "sick people". Can we ever be 100% certain of his sanity?

True, he had that Shotgun +3 with Barrels of Infinite Ammunition put to pretty good use.

well, Hershel was (is?) a man of god, so he perhaps thought the humane thing to do was to keep the walkers until God pointed them to a cure. However, I think once they had the Barnageddon episode with Sophia, Hershel came to his senses.

Well it was basically:
Rick: "You're crazy."
Hershel: "Nuh uh"
Rick: *Makes valid points*
Hershel: "I see your valid points and admit I was wrong."

So it's not like Hershel is like that crazy girl who believes that walkers are people no matter what, he saw that he was wrong and admitted it.

 

[Jet Shield]

Yeah...not buying it. Crazy people are often good at pretending to be sane. I think it's the gimpy old man that's been feeding the walkers.

No human is guaranteed to *never* snap. Anyone can give way under pressure, eventually. I just think it'll need something that hits him pretty close to home.

Remember, as a viewer, you have more information than Hershel did. His decisions were based on what he knew at the time, and the fact that those were not to him a nameless horde of undead. They were his family, and he saw them take sick. He had the resources and ingenuity to keep them until a cure could be found - and that was early on in the plague. He hadn't been given a whole lot of reason to change his mind.

But, when given new information, and when the situation changed, he may have resisted some, but in the end acted rationally. I don't see a whole lot of sign of insanity in that.

What else do you do with bacon other than eat it?

Well, if you saw the last episode of The Walking Dead, you'd know you can also feed it to zombies.

Hey, guys, the thread's about Walking Dead, not bacon. Can we keep the thread-jack down to a minimum, please?

This reminds me, did they ever explain why there are no zombie animals?

 

[PigKnight]

The plague thingy changes the human brain to create the zombie. It will kill, but not convert, animals. We might get cerberuses eventually.

They shouldn't have to. Those diseases that do cross species usually don't impact all of them as severely.
