The Mike and Bonnie thing didn't make any sense.
I don’t really feel motivated to join the hate MIike/Bonnie/Arvo bandwagon since it’s so transparently obvious that the writers were trying to manipulate the players’ emotions in that scene. "We have to make people hate Bonnie and Mike, otherwise no one will take the Jane/Kenny dilemma seriously" :P
So what happened to the Mike that was the only adult in the group who was reluctant to let Clem do all the work and take risks because she was a child? What happened to the Bonnie that was willing to risk her life by firing a gun in the middle of a herd to protect Clem and Sarah?
The theft scene was just bad writing since none of the characters' motivations made any sense at all. Why didn’t they ask Clem to come along if you didn’t side with Kenny? Why didn’t they ask Jane? Sure, Bonnie was suspicious of her, but Mike got along with her just fine and agreed with her on most decisions. He doesn't even ask Jane if Bonnie is dead. Why didn't Clem fire her gun? Why did Arvo shoot if Clem surrendered her weapon? If it was revenge for her sister, why didn't he kill her? If he wanted Clem to suffer, surely he would’ve shot her in the chest to ensure that she died a painful death with no chance of survival? Why did Mike and Bonnie have to take absolutely everything when they left? Why didn't they take off on the truck after Clem was shot? They were right next to it and it was already running. Why run off on foot? If they wanted to escape Kenny after Clem was hurt, surely the truck would've been their best bet?
Can't say I'm that surprised. Nick Brenon did transform Rebecca from a bitch to perfectly nice, and Carlos from paranoid to completely trusting in the span of a few minutes with no development or reasoning.

Makes sense for Mike, doesn't make much sense for Bonnie.
