I'm pretty sure she was aiming for the neck, even if you miss the carotid arteries or jugular veins, there is still the trachea, and if you go deep enough the cervical spine.
Also, puncture wounds tend to be more difficult to treat because the penetrating object is depositing all sorts of foreign matter and pathogens all along the wound channel, additionally, the narrow nature of the puncture itself makes it difficult to debride and sterilize the wound. Often, a puncture wound will have to be opened up, not that big of a deal in a modern setting with advanced trauma care, but in a pst apocalyptic zombie world...
My point being, Dawn was a terrible person, I would have liked to have seen her succumbing to septic shock and dying a prolonged agonizing death, as opposed to instant cranial evacuation

After reading what you said about leaving foreign deposits, would it have added to the coldness if Beth found a walker and stabbed it first then went after Dawn?

OHHHH!
Nice!
I hadn't thought of that.
basic nerd speculation would indicate that this would work to turn Dawn.

However, the characters are constantly getting splattered with zombie juice throughout the series, and none of them change from this.
They also continue to wear clothing that is saturated and stained with Z juice. There is no way in a post apocalyptic high combat environment that no one of them has never sustained a laceration or abrasion.
Also, they eyes are direct transmission routes, almost like an open wound, so theoretically any spatter of Z juice into the eyes would cause infection.

This could be basic Hollywood retardation, which is extremely prevalent in this series (especially tactically,)
or
Perhaps only a bite/scratch from a "live" zombie will work. Like maybe if you stab through a zombie and the penetrative object continues into a living person.

Damn...
Your idea is way better. Especially if maybe the virus is weakened, and it caused Dawn to turn, but at a much slower rate of progression, and prolonged her suffering...

Uh oh somebody didn't turn out so well.

Such a sad day to see Tyrese go. Now they need to find some safety and I think Rick is about to go all dictator on the group. No more discussions and democratic what shall we do and things will straighten out.

There are also some sick sort of killer group they are bound to run into. Good times again now that WD is back. Love it!
