Exactly.
He goes his whole life, his traumatic past, the end of the world and the death of his wife, travels to Mexico and loses his sh*t NOW? Makes no sense.

Another thing that really bothered me from earlier in the season

Nick was a serious addict and he just seemingly quit. No withdraws, nothing. He's looked longingly at a couple of pill bottle since then but nothing too serious. Unless he's still got a stash somewhere that we don't know about, how did he quit so effortlessly?

Good call.
He did have withdrawal issues earlier in the season, but you're right. Completely unrealistic. He would still be jonesing.

A true confession-I have tried to view this as a show that would have some redeeming value. I keep shaking my head thinking that this is kind of silly to try so hard to like a show. I am sorry bad writing is bad writing.

I keep thinking it's going to turn the corner but it never does. They had a couple of good episodes early in this season but it really died after that. The Flight 462 web series is better than the TV show. Yet another thing that bothers me:

Where are all the zombies? They are in one of the most heavily populated areas of the country (before Mexico) and they don't seem to encounter as many zombies as they should. Plus, why are the survivors still so damned ignorant about the zombies? These guys would have been zombie food in Atlanta. ;-D
