I think the connection to the cast that the viewers had at that point was exactly what made the scene so impactful.

It would have had the exact same type of storytelling impact (obviously not that of disgust) to show the bat swing, show the shocked looks, but cut away for the gore.

Taking it out on the whole team seems a bit much, though.

It's not like I can do anything about it. They're not likely to care that I consider them despicable human beings.

Not necessarily, since we'd already thought he died once before, so it might've even been confusing and some people would've been saying he might still be alive and might come back again. The gore of it drives it home in the most unmistakeable way, which is what really makes all the risks realistic from then on.

Remember, the whole point is the real monsters are the people, not the zombies.
