The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Crossing Lines
By Liam O'Leary
The Walking Dead lines you shouldn’t cross
Even when you’re surviving against The Walking Dead, there are some things you DON’T do, some lines that you SHOULD NOT cross.
Man things are getting desperate in Alexandria in this season of The Walking Dead.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, the town is taking in three other communities Hilltop, Kingdom, and the Wardens. It’s been wrecked by the Whisperers and their horde, with buildings burned and the walls severely damaged. And they have no steady supply of food; To say things are “getting desperate” is something of an understatement.
However, what did surprise me in this week’s episode was how that desperation manifested itself into action inside the community. At least a few people who you would expect doing or coming dangerously close to doing some awful stuff. People pulling weapons on someone in the community just for insulting them, siccing walkers on people? I might have expected that from some of the series’ villains, but, never from our heroes.
Having seen such things, I became inspired for this week’s Survival Rule Of The Week. I’m going to explore how people in this week’s episode of The Walking Dead crossed lines, and why. If you ever find yourself in a zombie apocalypse, you should not follow suit. If you do decide to cross these lines, you may discover that you can’t go back, no matter how much you want to.
