Some are too weak to fight at all, and the rest just give up about half way through. It’s all about the survivors and how they cope with their approaching demise. It isn’t just about zombies going around eating people: it isn’t a simple case of horror thrown over action. The prison could never last not with every one trying to kill each other. Or am I just being a bit evil? As Rick likes to say, all too frequently, “we can make this work.” But, it is so abundantly clear that this would never be true because everybody is slowly losing their sanity. It’s kind of funny really in a twisted sort of way. I think it is so appropriate how the characters have deluded themselves they really think they’ve found a new home in the prison: they think it’s a safe haven. As soon as this line was delivered I knew the rule would soon be broken…. Seems fair enough in this world, but nothing is that simple. If you kill another group member, if you kill a friend, you, too, will die. If you want to live under Rick’s protection, that’s the pact you take. Every society needs rules, and it shows how desperate this one is to create such a brutally necessary one. These are simple words, though they’re my favourite phrase so far.
