The Walking Dead: 12 Things We Want To See In Season 6

11. Less Of Carol Threatening Children

OK, Carol's gone completely crazy. She's already killed Lizzie and she's out for more.

Why did Carol start threatening that kid? You know, that little one who regularly saw his mother being hit by his dad and accidentally stumbled on Carol rooting through some guns?

It's obvious enough to see why Carol wanted to cover her tracks. She didn't want anyone knowing she'd been sneaking around getting guns to distribute among her friends, but it's a bit much to threaten him the way she did. 

Yeah, yeah, The Walking Dead is full of bad people who do bad things, and it's at least kind of shocking to hear Carol threaten a child. However, wouldn't it have been more shocking to see her play it safe by trying to keep him quiet another way, only for it to then spectacularly backfire when he lets it slip while eating his tea. Then Carol and Rick would have been in all sorts of trouble, and no-one would have picked on a child half their size.

Carol's continued to improve as a character as each season has gone on, so we can hope that this was just a blip in her otherwise great character development.
