Because he is a Dumb-ass....

 

Ya it's because Trav are a dumbass

 

You guys do not consider it might be cause he went out to look for him, thinking he was jsut aroudn the pool or some shit?

 

Yeah, I figured Travis thought he would find him somewhere in the compound, but Travis is kind of a dumbass

 

Well, sure he is. I think he is a pretty irrational and explosive human in a way.

He is not a Rick for sure, a much softer person and I think he never become the crazy kinda person Rick is.

 

Travis is a good hearted guy. His problem is that he operates under the fallacy that everything will work out if he does the "right" thing.

 

Do you remember the scene where he transitioned from being in the yard to chasing after Chris through the Vineyards?

I think he just took off to catch him but in the fog and dark it was not that quick and easy.

I like to think I would sleep fully ready to go at all times in that situation but then that would not make good TV by these standards either?

They walked right in and surrendered the weapons,didn't they watch TWD too?

 

He still should have returned once he lost chris to get some shoes, there's infected zombie guts on the floor everywhere.. what if you get a cut and then step on fresh guts...not bright.

 

He do seem to have a big heart yes and not a police background so he is not really fit for this.

 

He didn't lose him though till he was really far out there.

He is not too bright though maybe too.

 

Never mind infected Zombie Guts... Hookworm. People crap all over the place in Mexico. The worm large get in the soil, then burrow through your feet. Before ya know it your on an episode of Monsters Inside Me, hacking the things out of your lungs. Then you've got snakes, spiders, scorpions, fire ants, cactus and lots of other things with thorns and prickles.

I wouldn't get out of bed and walk to the bathroom in a hotel in Mexico without shaking out, and putting on, my boots.

 

Yikes! I would have to put my boots in zip bags whenever they weren't on my feet!

 

Travis as currently written is a terrible character. Over the break the writers either need to figure out what to do with, or just kill him.

 

Lmao! I totally need to rewatch that scene because I missed that. Apparently those boots came equipped with brand new feet. lol

 

This wasn't poor writing actually within the context of the character they have created for Travis.

Is Travis a poorly written character? Absolutely.

But within the context of said poorly written characterization, which includes him being portrayed as a complete ****ing retard - him running off in the harsh desert oriented local terrain with no shoes is quite on point for Travis.

He is stupid and reactionary.

 

I'm guessing it's not like that in New Zealand where Travis is from :zombies_confused:

 

No.
It's full of orks, goblins,trolls, dwarfs and hobbits. And the occasional dragon.
If walking around with no thongs on is good for hobbits it's good enough for trav.
