“Going “hand-to-hand” against these prison zombies sounds like a really bad idea.”

They’re trying to save on ammo, but if they get a scratch from a zombie, they’re done. Too big a risk.

Not only a scratch, but one of the disappointing aspects of the show is how when they go hand-to-hand, they don’t do anything to protect themselves from blood/brain splatter. Any infected zombie DNA gets in your mouth or a cut, you’re dead. In the first few episodes it showed them wearing protective clothing and a face mask. Guess it was too much money or it hid the actors’ faces too much.

Why not just draw them all to the fence line, and kill them all safely from the other side of the fence? Sure, it would take longer, but at zero risk. Going inside the fence and mixing it up hand-to-hand was just dumb.

I was screaming at the TV last night they should have kept slowly luring the zombied to the chain link fence where they could use the sharp pipes to “core the zombie brains”, and even if it took them a few days to clear the prison yard, they could have done so a LOT more safely, as for clearing buildings, open the doors, into a secured chain linked in area and let it set for a day or so for the zombies to come out...

They needed to be more methodical... and less impulsive...
