9. When Will Carl's Eye Be Addressed?

Ahead of all the deaths, the biggest moment of the mid-season premiere was the bullet to Carl's face. Let me repeat that fact for you. Carl Grimes took a bullet to the face. A gunshot to the eye. First of all, he should surely be dead, but The Walking Dead should be given a little room to slightly stretch physical possibilities. But while he survived, he should've been in a far more critical condition than the state we saw him in during Episode 10. He was strolling around as if nothing had happened. What's with that?
