I've been letting it go, but taking a pocket knife to the side of someone's skull would never, ever work, no matter how rotten they were. The suture joints in the skull are too strong and there aren't a lot of places you can just poke through the bone without a LOT of force. It makes more sense for them to try and find access points through the nose/eyes/base of the neck to get into the brain itself. I've seen too many weak thrusts that just go through bone like it's butter, but that's not the only problem with believability in this show, so I'll just let it go now and assume that the zombie plague also weakens bone to the point of styrofoam.

I thought about that too. There are skeletons buried in the ground for decades, everything rots off, and the bones stay hard. The other major issue is that in a real zombie situation (lol), countries that have winter would be OK once the temperature got below freezing and the flesh froze. Given how much Karl aged, it is reasonable to assume that a few winters have come and gone, and while Georgia may not have a freezing winter, it is reasonable to think that other areas of the U.S. did and it would have given them a chance to take control of the situation.
I do like the show so I try not to think of all the reasons why it is impossible. I just assume that something about the zombie infliction makes the bones brittle and they have antifreezing properties.
