It's called "drama", Tragos. That's what keeps a show going, and gives people things to talk about later. People always doing the smartest or more sensible thing makes for bad television!
I'm enjoying it so far, tho Rick does kinda annoy me at times w/ his "gotta help everyone/everyone is equal" approach to at all times. Granted, there's decisions that piggyback on others, for instance the Merle/Guns decision, still…. it makes it seem unrealistic. I know what I'd do, and I project that on the characters. Merle's rooftop situation wouldnt have given me about ten seconds of thought before I decided "Tough luck for him"…
Jess disagreees and thinks this is because Rick is a cop, and as his chosen lifestyle that's what is essential to his character. His concern is public welfare, his training and mindset is to be selfless to some degree. That's what he knows - help others.
Me, I just find it kinda annoying hollywood hero syndrome and a little too goody-two-shoes and corny for me in the face of the friggen apolcalypse. If the shit hits the fan, chances are I'd become a pretty mean and unfeeling bastard toward anyone that showed any kind of animosity toward me or my crew or it's survival. They'd be dead, period. Again I'm projecting myself into that role, but I'm just speaking realistically.
And I'm sorry, the granny lovers still stick in my craw as an absolutely ridiculous plot angle and hamfisted attempt to add some noble and heroic racial minorities into the picture for good measure. Jess was facepalming on that one as well.
