The bad things from FearTWD 411

  1. Too much happenstance. Moments where unexpected things happen to benefit survivors can be a lot of fun, they seem to happen all too often, but having that debris take out a walker who was approaching Morgan felt a little silly.
  2. Morgan was going to leave without saying goodbye. If he hadn’t learned about the hurricane tearing things apart, odds are that Morgan would have continued through to Virginia to meet back up with the other survivors, even though he promised not to leave without saying goodbye to some of them.
  3. The bridge is out. Really? You don’t need to make up an excuse to turn around, Morgan. If you change your mind, that’s one thing. But to screw up their mapping system is another. While you may think you’re stopping them from going that way, all you’re doing is raising another red flag.
  4. Are you buying that? Morgan thinks a man got kidnapped, his head in a bag, and then left to die because he makes beer might be the silliest thing I’ve ever heard, yet he bought it immediately. He may want to see the best in people and it was actually true, but the stories should at least make some kind of sense, right?
  5. Little knife, big blade? There is no way the pocket knife that Morgan picked up off the ground would have been able to enter the bottom of a walkers jaw and still penetrate its brain. An ear or eye stab might have been a little better, but nitpicking this much to add a fifth negative is exactly what I had to do.
