That's my point -- he looks around, sees they had time to pack pictures and clothes, concludes they go away. . . . then breaks down crying and thrashing? Given how wooden he is the rest of the episode?

So no curiosity about how the world went from bustling to deserted in short order?

So the cruiser parked outside the police station is the one car in town with gas? Convenient.

Path of least resistance is to put yourself in a position where you'll be surrounded with no ability to move quickly? If you can't run, climb on the tank and into the open hatch. Crawling under was simply the path of maximum drama.

The premise of the human element is a man struggling to find his family. . . . who abandoned him. And not to an overpowering swarm a la I Am Legend, but a bunch of shambling dawdlers. If cowboy rick can beat one with a bat, and run through a swarm at least for a little while unscathed, how did the US Army get overrun?

Wait, you think my problem is that I need something simpler?
Look, I'm not as down on it as I may appear, but I expected better from AMC than your standard zombie story where you have to accept gaps in logic for the sake of creating drama.
