Tijuana's Safe-Zone looks amazingly well situated. It's well defended and it has a lot of space to put up gardens for the living. The Dead should be kept outside the walls, not inside to beef up their belief system, because there only need to be one mistake and it will be fatal for the survivors inside TSZ.
I feel so sorry for Strand losing Abigail. It was a beautiful boat. One that could have been their safe-heaven, while they gather together supplies and safe locations to grow crops. But what I love is their decision on going forward, while leaving behind marks for Travis and Chris.
The hotel is amazing location. It just like out from so many zombie flicks and games that I've gone over the years. Desolation inside it, leads you should easily to situations are potentially very dangerous. We have seen so often what trapped zombies can do to the survivors.
People think that they're safe because there's no moaning. But that's false sense of security. And while Luciana thinks she's fine with the dead, when they finally go away, the risk isn't going to dissipate because this current apocalypse is second instance of the dead coming back.
So, even if the dead would turn to good top soil eventually, the risk of third apocalypse appearing is going to stay possible till the end of Earth. There is no cure for the disease. Not one that our current level of science could produce. Not without fully understanding everything on how to turn the switch back after the person gets fever and turns infected.
I felt sorry for Madison losing her family. She's a survivor and she always fought for her children. So I understand the need of her letting out steam and smashing glasses in the hotel's bar. It's what I would have done, instead of going out to hunt zombies.
In Kirkman's world that is job for all survivors. But Strand's crew haven't understood that. They haven't understood completely the need of being dead silent. In fact, most people in the world don't have a culture of silence.
To us Finns that is obvious thing as we are born into it, but Mexican and American culture is far from the ideal. Both of them like to talk. To Finn's there's no small talk. No gossip about weather and everything. In fact, disturbing silence can be quite rude act to do.
We just would have got drunk quietly in Hotel's bar, while Madison's and Strand's act brought them a small horde of hungry zombies. It's going to be difficult act for them get away.
