Questioning the Characters....
This is a thread where you can post any question you have about anything that a character does and we will try and answer it together.
Question 1. There are around 64 fishing spots near Macon GA. With a "Professional" Fisherman...why were they starving in EP2 of S1?

Answer 1 : Many Walkers had fallen into the water ways around Macon which polluted them and led to massive fishkills.
Question 2. If the bandits from season 1 had all formed from the Big Lots by the highway, why did they make their homes in the woods and not at the Big Lots by the highway?
Question 3: How was Jane able to save the group from the Russians in time if you chose to let Rebecca rest for a few days?
Like Danny says, "Hard to find...." creepy grin
That choice having no impact at all really annoyed me.
I know right? The only thing it changed was whether Luke or Kenny seem at fault for Rebecca dying.
Answer...she was following the group...when you leave a group...picking the right time to come back is key.
S1 Clementine..if you do not take the hoodie from the car....why did they never find that poor child anything warmer to wear?
Roving bands of adolescent girls were foraging the country for all the good clothes, so there was nothing left... except for that really ugly jacket.
That's...a good question. Maybe a lack of improvised fishing gear?
Which was at Walter's place, btw.
Which is why she waited until there was only one hostile left(Vitali) and Kenny hit the dirt to jump in.
No, but in all seriousness, she says she heard the gunshots, so she literally happened to be in the neighborhood.
Because Danny and Jolene's prisoners went "shoppin" together.
Pfft...I am sure in almost any store anywhere they coulda found some fishing gear....except Tim's Tools...that place was lame even before the end of the world.
For Arvo's train of thought: why would he wait for the guy who keeps yelling at him to recover from getting surprised by a walker in the woods? That's a legitimate question, because common sense dictates that he had a perfect opportunity to juice it right then and there, when Kenny was distracted and unlikely to catch him at that point.
Why would Lee say a shovel in never not useful but then say he's doesn't need it anymore?
Because its right there where it can be useful for what he's doing at the moment?
Don't diss Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
If you don't punch Andy at all, Lee shoves him into the fence, which doesn't kill him, or even seem to harm him
But if you choose to kill Andy, Lee kicks him into it, which... actually kills him for some reason this time
Why?
I guess because two jolts of electricity in a row is enough to do you in. I dunno.
Why did Luke say in No Going Back when Buriko was on the ground shooting blindly at him, "I can't let this guy take pot shots at us until he runs out of ammo." Um, why not? I mean you're in perfectly safe cover and the guy is clearly just wasting his ammo and isn't really hitting anything. So wouldn't it make sense to let him run out of ammo and then shoot him? I mean...you could have avoided getting shot in the ankle altogether if you did that.
That's a good question. Maybe how long he stays on it is a factor? Or maybe its the adrenaline coursing through him the first time.
Likely because he wanted to take what's left the ammo after the fight is settled.
Perhaps Luke was worried that his buddy (Vitali) would eventually advance on him?
Or maybe Luke wasn't even talking about Buricko, but Vitali. Worried that he'd either take out Kenny or try to move up. There's an option to say to Luke that Kenny's got it handled, and he says something to the effect of "Oh, that's what you call this? No, someone's got to do something." (can't remember the exact quote)
Because any one of those pot shots could strike a target and hurt someone. They had to eliminate the threat.
Even though Kenny was busy and Bonnie/Mike/Luke probably wouldn't have given chase, there was still Clem and Jane to worry about.
Plus they were literally almost the the frozen lake which would give him a better chance
Arvo possibly considered the possibility of being devoured soon after venturing on his own, especially considering that, not only he had a leg brace, but he was bound by the wrists as well.
People do not reason clearly while under dangerous situations.
How is this discussion different than the "general Walking Dead questions" one?
Because these are specific Walking Dead questions.
You're kinda contradicting yourself there Lee.
That post was meant as a joke but a real question is why did Mike feels the need to take all the supplies and truck leaving Clem, Kenny, Jane, and AJ nothing? Opposed to just taking some and leave on foot?
But his house was literally a few steps around the corner! Just haul ass the first chance you get while everyone is distracted, zigzag a little just in case they try to shoot, and hobble across the lake you were so confident in walking across and you're golden! For a few minutes, but you're golden!
Part of me would like to think that getting away from Kenny was such a high priority that when they saw the opportunity presented, they just collected Arvo and his things and got ready to get out of there without really taking the time to think about asking Clementine if she wants to come.
It was clear that the scene was meant to show just how much in a hurry those three were to get away that they forgot some pretty obvious details. If you listen closely while sneaking up on them, Mike mentions that he forgot to look for the keys and assumes that Kenny must have them. So its pretty clear they didn't think this through very well. Leaving Clementine, AJ, and Jane to die may not have been their intention, but they can't really say that since they got caught in a compromising position with Clementine pointing a gun at them. Her not even bringing AJ up doesn't really give her much leeway to convince them that their wrong for wanting to leave, even though endangering the baby along with the others was certainly dickish. It might just be fanon on my part, but I would think Mike would be conflicted if she did.
Also, I'm sure Kenny and Jane would've mentioned whether they took all of the food and supplies or not. Assuming they didn't just get too distracted by talking shit to each other, anyway.
Hey, waitaminute...
I doubt there were any nearby places to fish. The first body of water we saw was the coastline of Georgia at the end of Long Road Ahead, while they were on the train as it neared Savannah.
There are 64 Prime fishing spots around Macon...I looked it up.
Shhh quiet...my Logic is absolute!
Why would he risk being shot, being devoured or falling into the lake; only to be caught a few minutes later?
It's funny how there were leaks of the s2ep4 choices before it came out, and there was a choice chart "Did you rest up or go"...and later was replaced with did you held a baby or not...
I hated how that choice had no impact on anyone whatsoever...
Why did Bonnie say to Kenny that Luke's death was his fault? (If she survived obviously)
I mean, Kenny was not agree on keeping Arvo alive or going to his house to find the supplies. Why Luke's death would be his fault?
@VengefulKenny came up with a jarringly dark answer to that...
Yes, I know he was pretty much calm about cooperating with Kenny up till that point and that it wasn't until the walkers started following them on the ice that he started to speed up before eventually making a break for it. But for now, I was pointing out that that would've been the best opportunity to run if that's what he really wanted to do all along.
Are you serious?
I thought she was referring to him beating up Arvo. She only says that after Jane comes out with the supplies and Kenny tries to argue with her.
