The Walking Dead: 10 Things That STILL Don’t Make Sense

10. How Did Rick Survive His Gunshot & Coma?

As The Walking Dead nears its end, let's go back to the beginning and ask: How on earth did Rick Grimes survive his gunshot wound and his subsequent coma?

In the show's pilot, Days Gone By, Rick is shot through the stomach and falls into a coma, which he stays in until just after the dead have risen and the world has ended. But considering the severity of his injuries and the fact no one was there to help him recover after the apocalypse, how did he eventually wake up, seemingly healed?

Rick's gunshot wound is never really mentioned again, and the flashback sequences revealing Shane half-heartedly secured his hospital room when the world ended don't really explain how he wasn't executed by gun-happy soldiers or devoured by hungry walkers.

There are plenty of characters who survive unlikely injuries (this will not be Rick's first appearance on this list), but this is one of The Walking Dead's more implausible and lazily written instances of plot armour.
