Go To

1* A blink-and-you'll-miss-it subtle one, but when Frank wakes Jim from a nightmare, Jim mumbles, "Thanks, Dad" before he goes back to sleep.
2* When Jim first awakens in the hospital, disoriented and confused, what allows him to get out of his room was the fact that someone slipped the key under his door, after having presumably locked it to keep the zombies from reaching him. With how dangerous the infected are, it would likely be very dangerous for someone, presumably a hospital worker or other good Samaritan, to spend that extra time locking the rooms of the patients who physically cannot flee, and then giving them the key to get out later. Even with the great possibility that many may not even be able to awaken and use them later. But someone still did. And those actions are what allowed at least Jim to live.
3* Just moments after narrowly avoiding being torn apart by a mob of infected, Jim, Frank, Hannah, and Selena head to the nearest supermarket to raid it for supplies. Is it dark and ashen and filled with infected? Nope, in fact, the fluorescent lights are still on, and the store is largely untouched. The group then proceeds to just goof off and have fun like the outbreak had never happened. Oh yeah, and it's all set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptPXxAds1Jc this.]]
4* Frank spending his last moments to tell his daughter he loves her.
5* "That was longer than a heartbeat."
6* The group spotting a herd of wild horses.
7* "Do you think they saw us this time?" Judging by the fact that the Jet pilot said bring in a chopper, it would be safe to say yes!
8* In a twisted way, Selena stuffing Hannah full of Valium; even when they're going to be raped, she cares more about Hannah's well-being than her own. When Hannah asks if she's trying to kill her, she answers, "No, sweetheart; I'm making it so ''you won't care.'' "
9* YMMV on this, but the infected Mailer, when freed by Jim after being kept on a chain leash for who knows how long(all for West to learn about him and how long it took for the infected to starve to death), does not charge to climb the wall Jim is on to kill him, but instead charges into the house to kill some of the soldiers.
10* [[TheQuietOne Laconic,]] [[TheStoic standoffish]] Sergeant Farrell trying desperately to protect Jim, Selena, and Hannah from the other soldiers. Doesn't matter if he's outnumbered ten to one, he does it anyway. Later on he decide to give Jim enough time to get away from Jones and Mitchell by distracting them so that he can save the girls which Jim did showing that Farrell has indeed died a hero’s death.
11* Major West comforting the dying Jones after arriving back at the mansion where two zombified soldiers are wreaking mayhem.
