“you have to let the zombie reanimate before you kill it.”
I shouldn’t think so. Why not chop off its head or burn it while it’s not moving? Not only did Andrea keep the others from handling her sister’s corpse at gunpoint, she cradled her in her arms before reanimation. Then she didn’t kill her right away when she woke as a zombie. Obviously Andrea was waiting for her to resemble her living sister to say goodbye.
Herschel didn’t have to repudiate his beliefs, except insofar as he believe he wasn’t living in a zombie apocalypse. I’ve seen nothing to demonstrate he’s nit a Christian anymore, except maybe while ye was crying into hus drink at the bar.
They weighed down the despair side of the scale last season. But they’re still alive, still fighting. The most negative character is gone. There’s new life. Herschel seems happier, etc.
For your edification the Governor is not experimenting on his daughter so far as we know. He can’t let go of her, is all. In fact the whole zombie study project, in addition to teaching them to kill better, may have been intended to bring her back to life.
They may be hesitant to kill the zombies they know, but they're killing zombies they dont with relish by the hundreds. THATs the point of this article and the point I'm trying to make. You can belabor the point but they are NOT struggling with killing zombies by any stretch of the imagination.
