Is it cool to see your character cut a swathe through an endless crowd of undead all to rescue a child he has know for roughly 4 months? Omid said it best, "Hells yeah". Does it make sense within the context of the game? No, unfortunately not.

Throughout the game, the walkers represented a major threat, both seen and unseen. A single walker may be no big deal, but there are always more. Killing the loner incorrectly will alert the others, and then you have a horde on your hands. This is when people die, and plans get ruined. How is it that Lee can just waltz right through them all of a sudden, especially now that he's near death, and possibly one-armed?

Sure, he has nothing left to lose and everything to gain, but it's more a question of how, than why. Several times during the scene, Lee has to choose between a large number of walkers to kill. Why do the others not get him when he's rushing headlong into the first one?

So yeah. Awesome in concept, but just ill-fitting with the rest of the game in my opinion. Like I said, his final minutes alone was enough to make it my favorite episode, forgiving all negatives, Lee-hundred (I hereby dub as the name for that scene) included.
It didn't seem too out of place for me. Lee doesn't have to be careful about killing them, because he simply is already dead. All the caution around the methods of taking them out is to prevent death, but since Lee was already bitten, there's no reason to worry about dying anymore. At the very least, you could say when Lee kills the first few walkers and gets their blood splattered on him(maybe even from the very first one alone) the majority of the walkers don't notice him anymore due to the smell.

But we've seen zombies rip organs out of other characters in the game in very little time (Brie, some Lee death scenes, etc.). In the time it takes Lee to kill one, the nearby walkers should have time to grab him and do all sorts of stuff and kill him. Especially the times where you have 4-5 walkers to choose from in order to progress.

Walker camo only works if Lee isn't drawing attention to himself. Even with the camo, you can die to the walker right outside the hotel room door if you take too long. It will go for Clem, but Lee jumps in the way and gets bitten in the neck. Yelling, viciously hacking and cutting his way through should have alerted the walkers around him. At best, it obfuscates a person. It doesn't make them undetectable through other means.

But look at me being all argumentative. I don't want to give the impression that the scene was bad or anything. Far from it. Nonsensical things can be very enjoyable.

I think the biter in the hotel just does it, because he reliazes the warmth of the body. Groaning and "ugh"ing is a sound walkers themselves do quite often, and they obviously don't care for each other, so killing the walkers in the herd shouldn't be a problem. And I guess the smell of the "disguises" changes soon, so that you can't stay obfuscated forever.

I pretty much love the emotion and feeling in TWD, which is what it mainly had.
I'd talk more about this, but I like sleep :3
