Dale?! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

They had Andrea side with Dale on not killing Randall. Dale's character was so moving in this episode, imo. It's a shame the way they had him die.

Yeah, I liked that too. Maybe she'll move away from being my most hated character on the show. :laughing:

I also enjoyed the implication that Dale's death might be the thing that brings Daryl back from the edge, maybe even making him the group's moral compass in the absence of Dale.

It's strange because in the comic's she's so different in alot of ways. She was always one of my favorite characters, unlike the show in which, yes, she's pretty much a straight up bitch. Until tonight, when I was really impressed with the turn her character took. And actually, the character I dislike the most on the show is Lori. Ugh. I just don't understand her at all...the decisions she makes, the little rants she goes off on...whatever.

I didn't really make the connection that Dale's death would bring Daryl back, but now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense. Daryl's characters has been intriguing almost from the very beginning. It's like you just never know what turn he's going to take next.

Yeah, Lori bugs me too. Actually, I have to admit pretty much all the female characters bug me except Maggie. I don't think the writers do enough with them generally.

As far as Daryl goes, I really think the fact that he was the one to step up and pull the trigger in the end really says something about him. In a lot of ways he's more like what Shane likes to think of himself than Shane is: the rogue of the group, the perpetual outsider, the untiring protector, the guy who does what has to be done when the chips are down. If you think about it, when push comes to shove, Shane pretty consistently fails to live up to what he thinks he is.

Yes. Yes it is. :laughing:

Curse you people not on the West coast and my inability to not refrain from reading the spoilers

It would be very interesting if Merle came back somehow (alive or otherwise) and threw a kink in Daryl's life and his position in the group. It's got to happen at some point.

I think you hit the nail on the head with Shane. Shane is pretty annoying as well. He should be dead by now. :/

Oh, and I had to chuckle when T-Dog finally got to speak, and Dale cut him off...haha. Poor guy is never gonna get any action.

What do you think of Carl's character and the direction he's taking?
