So Nick gets Jake killed but think it's all on Troy?? am i getting this right? Cause i'm almost certain that Nick has blood on his hands whether the writers realize that or not.

well its more of a mishap, Nick preventing Jake from shooting Troy inadvertently cause him to be bitten and subsequent demise.

Troy is being kept alive by the writers for shock appeal and character "tension". He serves no other purpose but as a "plot device". I want him dead, he's useless.

EXACTLY! Lennon

Yeah, but Nick is starting to become that as well ... the constant waiting for him to fuck up.

Writer's like to keep these type of characters around, but their shtick can get kinda long in the tooth if they over stay their welcome. This only work if the character is intriguing, and used sparingly. Troy is over the top and is not interesting, he's just chaos personified, his only purpose as a character is to disrupt, and cause chaos.

Nick didn't get Jake killed. Troy got Jake killed,

But let's talk about Nick relapsing . . . thoughts? Why did he do it? Was it b/c Madison said she was happy he was still there? Was it the weight of killing Troy's dad? Was it Alicia not coming w/him?
