The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: No Other Choices

The Walking Dead season 11B

The first new episode of season 11B of The Walking Dead was titled “No Other Way.” How apt. Sometimes there is no other way to do things than the bad way.

Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead, titled “No Other Way,” put a lot of focus on our heroes — Daryl, Maggie, Negan, Father Gabriel, even Eugene, to some extent — making choices and taking actions because, ultimately, they saw the choices they made and the actions they took as their only viable options, i.e., they saw “no other way” to deal with the situations they were presented with.

As we saw throughout the episode (Including the flash-forward at the episode’s end), many of these choices and actions had some negative results, so to speak, even if that negativity wasn’t directly felt by the people making the decisions in question. In their own ways, the choices our heroes were left with were inherently bad, and the best they could do was take the least bad option available to them.

With that in mind, for this week’s The Walking Dead Survival Rule Of The Week, I’ve decided to address a few of these inherently bad choices and why you might have to make them in the first place. Furthermore, I also want to tackle the results of these choices, both in what your options will likely be, which is the least bad of them, and what might happen, regardless of the option you take.

A zombie apocalypse won’t be nice, and to survive, you can’t always be, either.
