    This dude needs a page of his own. He was considered the fat, nerdy pimply kid, but he has proved his worth. Long SURVIVE Tobias

    So uh did they leave that canned food behind?

    Also, Tobias made a mistake not sticking with the main crew.

    Also, what was he doing at school when nobody else was there?

    He was getting that food, apparently. My question is, why did he want that tiny knife back? Was that the biggest knife in his kitchen? Why didn't he just bring a new knife from home when he went back to get the food?

    Tobias probably feels safer alone right now tbh but he just might be the one to save someone's ass later on.

    If Tobias dies we riot!

    Should it be considered an insult that the writers made the character that is supposed to be the role of the viewer a fat, nerdy, pimple faced kid?????????

    I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping the principal would bite his face off and swiftly complete his shallow character arc:
    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCassandra

    Truly he brings nothing to the story. The mom already realizes the situation, she doesn't need some student spouting the crap he read off the internet for her.

    Tobias is one of the coolest chars ever, what you guys on about? He is not your stereotypical action dude, muscle mountain of doom or all our favourite golden heart sniper with a crossbow. Nor is he a stereotpical nerd. He got guts, brains and is simply, cool.

    EDIT: Maybe she realized that this kid, knew wtf was going on and she thought he was just some conspiracy geek.

    I like Tobias, and I don't think he's just some one-shot character or whatever. He's going to be merged into the cast with the rest of the family. Otherwise, what was really the point of him? It's not like he enlightened the mother on anything, she didn't even believe him. No, I see him being someone whose going to help get everyone in gear, he's already getting shit prepared, and has been ready before things really got out of control. I'm rooting for both him and Nick, tbh only good characters in this show so far, though I kind of see potential in Liza too.

    Toby will been seen again. But first he is going to set up his own Crossfit "Box" and get pumped, wait maybe he will be more of a GYM Jones type, well we know he won't be able to do P90X since the power grid will fail and he won't be able to watch any dvds...I regress...next time we see him, he will be a lean, mean, zombie killn machine.

    I don't think Tobias will last long if that run in with undead-Artie is anything to go by. It is one thing being smart and another being a survivor.

    The kids dead. He's got smarts but he has no survival fighting skills. Had he faced that zombie alone he'd be dead now.

    I am so glad Mr.T got to use his knife after all he went through to get it back. On his own he would not have gotten close to the principal because he is just too cagey for your average zombie. He is by far the most interesting character. Virtually the only interesting character in my opinion and the one with the best potential for growth. Very uncreative characters too much Mr. Phil not enough Walking Dead.

    That was my thought. After all that work they leave the food when they have a CAR to carry it in? They should have pulled the car up to the door and loaded it to the gills, then split it later.

    Two theories:

    1) Tobias becomes a Merle/Morgan and re-appears with his awesome presence.

    2) Tobias is the backstory for

    Not that it means anything, but knowing that Lincoln is actually in his late 20's, and no longer growing, he must be a pretty short dude. Kim Dickens is only in the 5'7"-8" range and she is noticeably taller than him in many scenes. It could be partly her shoes, but at times she looks a solid 3-4 inches taller.

    I disagree that him being unable to take down the Principal means that he's obvious Walker Bait. The fact that he was fairly quick to not only warn Madison away from the walker, but showed a willingness to go at it, was a good sign to me. Especially him quickly realizing that body shots wasn't going to work, he went for the head. It mean's he's ready and willing to attack and defend himself and others if necessary. He's open to the very real possibility of disaster, realizes whatever is happening is not just going to "go away" anytime soon, and was basically the first person we see preparing fully for this impending apocalypse. Yeah, he's clumsy now, but I know several characters from TWD who were pretty clumsy in the beginning too and now they're badasses. I have faith right now that he'll be a good ally for the Clark Family soon enough and I'm certainly not counting him out just yet, far from it.

    Yeah technically speaking if he survives the start ouf the outbreak he gonna lose weight and get more in shape from moving around more.

    Remember Carol? Remember Beth? Not the strongest characters on the boat but Carol ended up experienced, cold, calculating and vicious to enemies. Beth did get hardened to. I think everyone in this crew is out to be zombie meat if we want to look at it with these eyes. I mean? The few people in the Walking Dead who really is anything close to trained for the shit they met is Rick, Shane, Daryl and Merle who all been either criminals, hunters or cops. Many other survivors are just your every day accountant or pizza runner boy. If he survives passed the first season, he can very well harden up. I mean, the Rick pack got Eugene. And a brain is never wrong.

    As people pointed out, Tobias already had some ideas down and did dare take on a zombie principal. Eugene did not dare this several weeks, months and even year into the apoc.
