That's true.
Well remember he didn't get bit on the hand anyways, he just hurt it when his knife broke. I guess you could argue he got zombie gore in a new open wound and that could lead to a bad infection but Im ok if they ignore it.

I am not. Unless the idea is that the fatal nature of a bite is in the saliva, it would seem having a deep, open cut exposed to infected zombie blood would be very bad.
From the comics the bite is often fatal because zombies have no living immune system so nasty infectious bacteria are running wild and unchecked. So you're just getting a really nasty, highly infectious bite but it can be knocked out anyway normal infections would. Everyone already has the zombie virus, it was likely transmitted by air and is not problematic until you die one way or the other. But remember stressed out humans with a bad diet are less likely to fight off infections than our ordinary run of the mill American now.
Another thing is that Rick has been covered in zombie blood tons of times already so he might be more resistant than the average person to the various infectious diseases found in zombies.
I for one am happy Rick is getting some. Everyone needs a little end of the world stress relief. He certainly has earned it!
From what I have heard in the comics is something causes Rick to lose his hand. I thought it would be from this cut. Who knows if they go there or not.
I assume he'll always have two hands. 1) It's easy to write or draw a missing appendage but expensive to constantly cgi it out in real life (hence why Tyrion isn't noseless) and 2) it's kind of a stupid plot device plus one you can't come back from. Just my opinion I have no spoilers.
She was in the comics and also banged Rick.
After Pete's death, Jessie finds comfort in Rick, who makes sure she and her son Ron are looked after. Grateful for his continued support, Jessie kisses Rick, leading to the pair's romantic involvement. Their relationship was brief, because while trying to outrun zombies in Alexandria Safe-Zone, Jessie becomes swarmed. In fear, she refuses to let go of Carl's hand. To save Carl from being eaten (as Ron was), Rick cuts off Jessie's hand and the zombies attack and kill her.
In later issues, Rick confesses that he cared for Jessie and was deeply pained to lose her.

I can only hope that this spoiler leads to some horribly wonderful death of both Caaarrllll and Ron.
Ah yeah.... Forgot about that part. Been a long time since I read that part.
Well on that note:
See this link if you want to be spoiled on Jessie, Ron, Sam (young kid) and Carl.

I think the blood on the wall is from deanna's son. Remember he took over watch duty at the top of the wall. He either offed himself or maybe one of those "w" guys sniped him.
Not buying that theory. I believe it is just walkers getting crushed at the wall, and the wall starting to give a bit. That wall is coming down. Bank on it.
Engineering Warning:
The only problem with that is the static load of the soil if not properly compacted. Those thin corrugated sheets would probably tear away from the pilings that were holding them because they'd be on the 'wrong side' to resist the load generated from the piled up dirt.
I love the idea, though. If they'd thought it out,they could have done that but it probably would have required a lot of heavy machinery to pile that much dirt up.

oh and where, just where would they find some heavy yellow machinery to pull that off?

Reminds me of an interesting video I was watching where they were busting some "zombie/post apocalyptic" myths and going over issues survivors would have. One thing was the idea that modern day gas has ethanol in it. Most cars that are sitting around would probably not work after a while without requiring some engine cleaning to remove the build up of gunk within the fuel system.
But that's WAY too much reality for this show. Just reminded me when you mentioned the machinery sitting idle at the quarry.
I don't know much of how diesel works in this situation, but I think it would be easier to start one of those heavy yellow machinery vehicles with diesel over gas.
Ethanol sucks ass by the way. Which I am sure you already know.
Yes, Ethanol sucks! I'm not sure why more people don't bitch about ending ethanol in gas. It's terrible and I'm about 1 more season away from having to clean the carb in my new fangled "guaranteed 1st pull start" Troy Bilt lawn and buying a new electric lawn mower. GET OFF MY LAWN!

I've always managed to suspend the reality that vehicles likely wouldn't start that well after sitting around that long. Typically they don't start in movies only when being slowly pursued by something or someone that is trying to kill the person. I grinch more about seeing vehicle models newer than the year the apocalypse occurred - like somehow Detroit was the only city not hit by zombies over the past 4 years.
I'm aware of the engineering stresses of retaining walls. I noticed that there were support brackets on the outside of these walls. That only leads me to believe there is almost no subsurface anchoring in the wall - so it's nearly a free-standing structure.
As far as large vehicles, they have some they've been using to build things outside of the fenced area. When Abraham first went out with the work crew, they had a battle with dead around them.

I found it odd that the support beams were on the outside of the walls. That to me makes little sense. Too bad the dude that designed the walls is dead, or the Alexandria townies would kill him because of his poor engineering skillz.

I'm not sure why they didn't just show some angled bracing on the inside to support the wall from outside pressure.
I didn't give the walls much of a thought beyond a casual glance because of the absurdity of how difficult it would be to drive the pilings for a cantilevered fence. It would have been more believable as free standing, but there is no bracing or legs shown to justify how the fence is standing. No base or bracing at bottom implies that it's cantilevered and the vertical supports are embedded into the ground. That also means that wall took forever and a day to install if they didn't have proper equipment. Especially in Georgia when it's dry and the clay layer is damn near impenetrable. Guess they could have done it during wet season, but even that will only soften ground for top few feet. After that, back to hard as rock.
Losing the main designer of the town means the logic and design aspects for how to deal with the wall are all gone. I think Carter mentioned he knew how the walls were built, but then he got killed first episode this year.
It's not a show about common sense and logic, so that whole aspect has to go out the window. I do like your idea about filling behind the wall with soil. If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, that's what I'm doing for my safe compound.
I believe when they designed the walls they were too naive to think that other humans would also be a threat to them, also perhaps wanted to preserve as much room inside the walls as they could.
Probably thinking a zombie wouldn't be able to figure out that the big long supports were actually holding the wall up...
