Zombie Story:
- raises the acceptance of killing humans in huge numbers,
- reveals everything bad and and even worse about human behaviour and psychology,
- is fun.
Just for fun, I'd like to suggest that there are other characters in the show that can offer those qualities. We have a baby on the way and what is more human than caring for the young? (Unless it's that hybrid zombie-human baby I'm hoping for. >_>) We also have Hope who seems to be the only remaining child in the show. There could be others living in the colony that we don't know about, of course.
Seeing Pegs lose a bit of her humanity/morality when she killed to protect Michael was quite powerful. I'll give you that!
PS: Don't take anything I say too seriously. I debate for the fun of it.
Heh. Who isn't?
While a baby and a young child would add more humanity to the group, having Pegs as the passive, cheery, clingy girl adds a bit of diversity, and adds more to the thread-bare strings left of humanity in a apocalypse setting, i'd imagine. If i was in a group like that, i would want different kinds of people like that: to make a new family of sorts. If they were all the same, such as the Mallers, you couldn't really trust them as they are in it for themselves mostly.
I personally hope that R2Da2 survives all of this, because he deserves it more than most characters of the show.

Good point. If king Datu the resourceful is a Christian believer, suicide is not an option, c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ...ews_on_suicide.
Furthermore, suicide is regarded as
- very, very bad - christianity, judaism, islam
- spiritually unacceptable - hinduism
- is depends - jainism
- watch your karma! - buddhism
- come on, we're a bunch of hipsters! - wicca, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religi...ews_on_suicide
So, no, Datu does not sound pretty wicca wicked to me.
