the fact that Noah bb is named after the man that BUILT the ark which saved man and animals from the apocalyptic flood which vanquished the wicked AND IN THE WALKING DEAD, Noah wants to do everything in his power to protect those he cares about by establishing himself as an architect and cultivate new ground for his family in the apocalyptic world. YOOOO the writers saw something in Noah, they didn’t need to do that to him. given more time Noah would have flourished. Fine, I’ll just have to do it myself.
