I love the show, but in the latest episode with the well zombie, the decision to use Glenn as live bait has to be the absolute worst decision to date for this show or well any other zombie outbreak epidemic depiction ever.
The zombie wasn't exactly the most agile creature and it's in very limited space, take your noose, make it a bit larger and start fishing for zombie. Maybe farm girl over there has used a lasso, you know growing up on the farm and all?
Okay fine, so your resolved to use live bait to get the zombie out of the well, you've made it this far already so who am I to argue? But I would suggest finding a squirrel, bird, cat, or any other animal that could be present on a farm next to the woods. Can't find anything and times limited? Well, I've always lived by the simply rule that if I'm going to be used as live bait and lowered into a confined space with a hungry zombie with no form of escape and no where to run resulting in certain agonizing death should anything falter, I'm at the very least going to tie the other end of the rope to a secure structure, maybe like the wind turbine right next to the well and not a rusty old pipe loosely bolted to some rotting wood flooring? That's just personal preference though.
Surviving a zombie apocalypse, just like hockey, is all about doing the little things right. Being extra cautious by avoiding possible contaminated water was an excellent decision, the execution this time was just a little bit off, also just the entire ####ing logic because it's a damn zombie. Remembering the zombie is a zombie is key here because that means it's been bit and has already likely bled into the water through one of it's many flesh wounds.
Oh well, Glenn got laid so all's well that ends well when dealing with well zombies.
