@MegaJar: The fire lasers were also included in the RoboCop animation, the classic TMNT series, the 1990s Spider-Man series and so on. Obviously they disappeared over time, but still…
1. Bullets do not exist. All guns must fire lasers. Said lasers must be color-coded based on the moral alignment of the shooter’s faction: blue for good, red for evil.
2. Death does not exist. No one shall ever be hit by the aforementioned lasers. Ever.
3. In the event that a vehicle is destroyed by said lasers, the pilots of said vehicle must be shown escaping and/or parachuting to safety.
4. Being impaled through the gut by a poisoned spear is not fatal. It merely sends the victim into a coma, from which they are guaranteed to recover with no ill effects.*
* See the G.I. Joe animated movie, in which Duke is speared through the gut as described above. The original plan was for him to die and be replaced by Falcon as the new main character. However, this came right on the heels of the Transformers animated movie, in which Optimus Prime dies; that event traumatized kids so much that they decided to change the G.I. Joe movie so that Duke survives. Of course, the “death” scene had already been animated, so instead of redrawing it, they just added a dubbed-in voiceover clip of someone exclaiming “He’s gone into a coma!”
Don’t forget that one of the Joes has to present a random lesson to some random kids to keep the mothers happy at the end of an episode.
And knowing is half the battle. The rest is a laser rock show with tanks. ^_^

Man, I can see going bad in so many directions.
@El-Man. I hate it when I make a typo too.
FACE facts… (sigh).
Well, Rick is… trying. But sooner or later he’ll have to fact facts – his son is not like him at all.
Oh, this is not gonna end well.
Rick’s… misguided, to say the least, but these interactions are still adorable. Especially little Aaron being so oblivious
Also, we find out Marion has a sister and Rick has been to therapy before (presuming that’s who this Dr. Mulgrew is). The lore expands!
I think where is going to lead this…
