Here's a thought: Non-inmate in civvie clothes may have been a prison worker or visitor.

I doubt anyone of them had any military experience. 

Though interestingly, and it may have just been a form of expression, but in the very few minutes we saw Katana Woman, what's her name made a crack about her "being a good soldier". Perhaps she'll end up having a military background.

"I also don't understand why they were clearing it in the first place."

They covered that.

They were trying to find two of the most critical things that they need right now -- food, as in the prison cafeteria, and medical supplies in the form of the infirmary.

Yes, but contectually; Why they were treating it as a lets risk our lives emergency rather than a methodical, 'everyone knows your roles right?' operation?  The pacing of survival seems... dramatic.   :P

Isn't the answer obvious?

It's that bitch Lori's fault! The very fact that she's in the vicinity means that their ability to formulate proper tactics has gone to zero!

Everyone is right! It IS her fault!

Because. When you look at the program description it says so right there: drama.

As for the interior tactics .... I doubt anyone of them had any military experience.  I wonder how a group consisting of a bunch of average Joe Off The Street would do.   I don't think any of 'em would be mistaken for Seal Team Six.
They've already survived for months, and were very methodical when clearing that house at the beginning of the episode. They also were fairly well organized when they bugged out. There was really no good reason for their experience and tactics to fail so miserably when they were trying to clear the prison interior, since the old adage "You live and learn - or you don't live long" applies.

Doing what they were doing would NOT have required military experience, but Rick was a cop, and I suspect that he would have had at least some experience in doing building sweeps.

You saw Rick throw away the dog food his son found and was preparing to eat, right?

They're starving.  Not merely politely interested in the dainties of a well-filled larder.

On a bet once I tried some Ken-L-Ration or Alpo or something.

Once you get past the concept of if being dog food, it wasn't bad.

Certainly better than Gefilte Fish or a couple of the MREs I've eaten over the years.

I think I would rather eat dog food than the owl Darryl chowed down on.

... was the dog food expired? Cause, if you're starving, EAT THE DOG FOOD.

Gives you more time to find better food.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

That's it! Ned doesn't get into the APS lair after the zombie apocalypse. He'll just stand around salivating over any limbs we might be forced to remove. Geesh.

I have a question though that's been bothering me since I saw the first few episodes.

I get that they're all infected and at death, will reanimate and be zombiefied. Get that. What I don't get is do the zombie bites/scratches CAUSE death, as well? I was a little surprised the other night when Rick said cutting off Herschel's leg was the only way to save him. If that's the case, why haven't there been a rash of amputations since the show started? Also, when they settled in their bunks for the night, Asian guy was checking Farmer's Daughter over for scratches. Will a scratch kill you or not? If so, then why bother cutting off Herschel's leg, unless it's just to feed Ned Hampford?

While I think that a worthy goal in itself  >:D I'm fairly certain it wasn't needed at all and was just another wildly bad decision made by this group.  While Herschel was at the start the biggest cheerleader of the new dictatorship, I imagine having his leg cut off for not good reason will kinda sour that.

Drama!

If you remember from first season they talked about that some. The first guy Rock met said his wife had been bitten. She developed a super high fever and then died.

The same thing happened to Jim after he was bitten during the attack on the camp. Brenner art CDC said the same thing happened to his wife

Not scratches, but it seems to indicate it is spread by at least a bite like an infection.


So... If the are worried about it to that degree.... I also wonder why they have not adopted ersatz armour and the like.
