Fridge Logic
- So, AJ chops off Clem's leg in order for her to not turn into a walker, no matter what option the player chooses, so the Golden Ending can happen. Okay, sure...but she was clearly pale by the time AJ cut her leg off which means she was either already turning or she was suffering blood loss from the cut she had. AJ cutting her leg off would've most definitely made the bleeding worse and killed her right then and there. And if that wouldn't do it, then the infection which probably had already spread through out her body would've most definitely turned her into a zombie. Lee would turn whether or not you amputated his arm at the end of Season 1, so what gives?!
- One of the writers uploaded a few paragraphs from AJ's perspective that explains this: it's because AJ didn't just chop off the leg, he also cauterized the wound (which Lee didn't do in Season 1). That's why Clem survived the amputation and Lee didn't; it's because AJ took an extra precaution that Lee did not. The paragraphs in question can be found here
. - Plus Arms are closer to the heart and the brain and Clem gets bitten on her ankle meaning she would have more time to be amputated than Lee did

- Willy mentions he was sent to Ericson's for "chronic masturbation." Funny... until you realize the apocalypse has lasted for about eight years, meaning Willy was around 4-5 years old when the chronic masturbation happened and he got sent away by his parents for it, leaving a bit more disturbing implication than a funny one.
