I *think* it was intended to be more of a last ditch thing. ie. if the Walker horde on the island found their way to the family's home, he'd give them each a suicide pill to spare them the death of getting eaten alive or somesuch. Still cold as f*ck, though, given that they'd all still turn.
Wasn't expecting
Spoiler:That was kind of sad and took me by surprise.
the little girl to get her hands on a pill and die, though.

I'm surprised to hear that.Maybe I'll give this show a chance.
The second season is currently just 2 episodes deep, but I've enjoyed them for the most part. The first episode started out with a hell of a bang...
Spoiler:
We see LA getting napalmed. We then learned in the second episode that pretty much every major city in the western US has been napalmed as well. Seems like that is the military's proverbial 'final solution' to try and get a handle on the outbreak. Interestingly enough, this plot point overlaps with the opening scene of TWD S02E05, which depicts Shane/Lori watching-on as Atlanta is napalmed shortly after shit hit the fan. That said, it seems like the military tried to wipe out most of the major cities in the US.
So yeah, that helps connect the dots a bit. 👆

Yes. Pretty much everybody else took a class in Friday the 13th\slasher 101.
We've seen how people turn on each other during normal disasters. And they wanna trust total strangers during the apocalypse..
