Shell Shock from killing them by the 100's she forgot how to defend herself. lol She's carrying that Morgan mantra that all life is precious....ALL LIFE is precious except hers since she puts her life in danger for no reason. This episode was just odd the whole time.
script/book writer vendetta for stealing your manuscript...a list of other dumb stuff as well
A few episodes back she came in contact with the blood of one of the radioactive walkers while she was defending the kids and has been acting squirrely ever since.
shareI don't see the link between being possibly contaminated by radioactive blood and not being mentally able to defend yourself.
Just more bad writing i guess.
It's not that, actually. She was apprehensive about killing walkers before the radioactive contact. In fact, her apprehension is what caused the walker pile up that led to the spontaneous kill session in which the possible contamination occurred. No, this is a different line of bad writing. It's that same old "I just can't kill 'em anymore..." story line that they have already exhausted with Rick, Morgan, Carol etc. The whole zombie genre flirts with a repetitive nature as is, but when you don't try any harder than this, times must be tough in the writers room.
shareMy take is that Alicia was still in kill-everything mode when she started butchering the walkers at the kids hideout but went into a mild shock after she realized she had been contaminated with radioactive blood and that it meant certain death. After that she quit training with Morgan and began her ridiculous quest to find the tree painter. But the truth is the stories are becoming so convoluted and I'm not really paying that much attention anymore so who knows.
shareYou might be right on that. It sounds good, anyway. Either way, I'll take your word for it, as I'm not about to re-watch any of this lol. I just thought that I could remember her trying not kill or kill less even before the kids camp incident.
shareYeah, I’m never going to rewatch it again either :). You may be right, though, about her. Most of the time I have it on as background noise.
shareTo me it felt like the writers were saying they could, and would, kill her off.
