From, what I've read from wikis:
He's just a high-school science teacher who hasn't really had any contact with officials in D.C., has no clues for a cure and the radio is basically a prop. In short: He's lying. He is a scientist on some level, though, and he is interested in the Walkers and studying/learning more about them. Never trust a mullet.
Yes, that was him. He was also in an episode of Enterprise. Click here.
That's the main place I remember him from. At the time I got into a huge argument with my brother about whether our justice system could give some consideration to a sociopath if he provably grew a conscience and was no longer capable of the kind of violence he had been guilty of. That's rehabilitation, right? My brother is pretty black-and-white and wanted to stick to the letter of the law; he doesn't like fanciful alternatives.
My dad broke up the argument by pointing out that "becoming incapable of that kind of violence" doesn't mean he's incapable of violence at all. He might very well retain other criminal tendencies and could very well have wound up on death row regardless. So the fact that he repents one capital crime doesn't change much.
My dad is even less imaginative than my brother, so I thought it was great he could project the implications and get a conclusion out of them. Of course, he's also a lawyer.
I figured
either that or — there would be clues that he was telling the truth, but he'd get killed long before there was any resolution. I was certain it was one of these two.
There was also and interview with Kirkman and he said there are two things that will never happen on TWD, we'll never know how it started and they will never use the word "Zombie"
Right, but that doesn't mean that
no one in the TWD world ever knew. It just means that we aren't going to be privy to it. And it means they could bring aboard characters who know, but the story won't be allowed to keep them around for long. Jenner probably knew a lot more than he told Rick, for example.
That episode was surprisingly effective. Regardless of whether we see that gang again, they represented a serious and scary threat.
Now looking at it from one point of view, yeah, a group of bad bad dudes like that is likely to survive the ZA. They're tough enough to and heartless enough to. But from another point of view, you can't get by without a little help in the ZA, And who the hell was going to help these guys? They seemed loud and reckless and not the least bit concerned about making too much noise to attract other zombies. I'm not sure they had the combination of brains and restraint needed to survive.

I had a feeling that he was blowing smoke out of his butt. The group he's with is just WAY too reckless in my opinion to take on zombies in any effective fashion. That's dangerous in a whole other way. Putting themselves and others' lives in danger.
Professor Mullet was not very convincing as a scientist, and Abraham must be extremely gullible. I wonder why mullet-guy wants to get to Washington?
The sequences with Rick hiding in the house were very suspenseful and well done. I wonder if those guys will turn out to be a patrol from Terminus or something.
I liked the bonding between Michonne and Carl. She's finally told someone about her pre-Zombie life.

In the comics, Abraham says he started out with a larger group, and has lost people. It's apparent to me that anyone Abraham recruits is cannon fodder in his mission to keep Eugene save and get him to Washington. With his mission coming first, he is not a man you would want to travel with.
I think whether someone is legit or not, doesn't DC seem like one of the places that might be one of the last refuges of the government? If DC fell, that would really let people know that there really may be nothing left, and no hope for a cure in the short term. I think a lot of people want to hang on to hope, but this new world doesn't allow for hope or feeling safe. Terminus, the prison, DC, the farm, wherever... there's not much hope in these. There's nothing relieving or overly positive without being crushed.
I doubt there is anything in Washington other than his imagined glory. He is obviously arrogant and overly confident in his own intelligence. He probably has some lame theory that he imagines no one else has considered and thinks there is some think tank still operating in Washington that he can enlighten.
That would explain why he tolerated Eugene both shooting up the truck and then insulting him.
Woe for Eugene the day that Abraham catches on. When the obsessed guy discovers that his one reason for living has been lying to him ...
Eh, even the "fluff episodes" for this series can be pretty good. It looks like a Darryl/Beth episode bringing them closer back to the group.
