For what it's worth Dale's departure may have been tied to Darabont's. There was a gossip blind item a few months back which said one of the series regulars was so upset about Darabont being fired that they asked to be released from their contract. After cooling down a bit the regular reportedly had a change of heart and wanted to stay but by then it may have been too late. Speculation at the time was Jeffrey DeMunn was the likely person given his past working relationship with Darabont.
Anyway, solid episode. Not as gripping as last week but this was all set up to be the moral right/wrong exposition episode so that's understandable.
Looks like we're headed toward one helluva finish.

not the same situation. very different context in the comic
OK. But with the way the TV show has been diverging from the comic, wouldn't you think that Randall's group is the Governor's group? Is it similar enough?
very well could be, and it seems to be leading that way. if that is the case, i think we have to think the governor is someone new, making it Merle would be too coincidental. and if that is the case, they will really be going out of step with the comic because a lot of different things lead up to it. but at this point we can say they are definitely going away from the comic, so things that happen in the comic really don't mean too much. beside some characters coming, Dale getting it tonight is a big stray from the comic

Dale was a good character. He brought humility to the group and a sense of civility. Overall, he is right that the prisoner should be kept alive. Why are they going to put themselves into the position of judge and jury?
With that said, the prisoner has to be killed not because of the possibility be might kill one of them but because if he escapes, that could e the end of the whole group. Preservation of the group is more important than one person they just met.
And, Lori is hot.

Why do you say that Shane and Rick aren't infected?'The General said:

I can't stand him. I realize that his character is there for a reason. You have to have someone to provide counter-balance next to guys like Shane and Daryl. But enough is enough. Someone posted this on another board:"'Survival of the fittest...that's a world I don't want to live in' Wish granted, you moral [F-word for homosexual]."'SacramentoBob said:

It still amazes me how cavalier everyone is about the walkers. Sleeping outside, wandering around alone, hooking up in drugstore, not noticing your kid (the kid that almost died already) is off somewhere etc etc.I guess they have to have moments like that to provide plot points but it's pretty silly.'urbanhack said:

After this episode, I agree. Little ******* with no redeeming qualities. World would be better off with him dead. (Or Walking Dead).

2 ways of seeing this...1 - having just saved that kids life in town all they had to do was befriend him and take him in as one of there own right off the bat,he`s just a lost kid looking for safety and security.Or 2- he seems to have a bit of a sadistic side to him as he was stabbing that woman zombie at the DPW , and when he was shackled in the barn he was telling carl he would take him and his parents back to HIS people and take care of them...i dont trust him I VOTE DEATH

That was a pretty awful episode. Wish Carl would die, as well. It's a zombie apocolypse, but we're just gonna let you wander off by yourself all the time. Dad's got to shoot the prisoner, so Mom doesn't have any idea where he is? Awful.
I've come around to the camp that this Farm storyline has gotten tedious. At this point, you have to kill the threat. Just stupid. I hope they all die now. Except Maggie.
And in the preview for next week, the guy escapes. Shocker.

A few questions:
1. Since they are concerned about another party why arent they having watches and scouting the road more? Seems like this would be a necessity now?
2. Aside from darryl nobody really questioned the kid that much. About the other group and their location. I know the kid say they moved around a lot but does that mean in that area or keep going south?
3. Shouldnt they be scavenging more than they are? Shouldnt they be prepping and planning more than it shows?
This episode starting awesome, got bogged down in Dales morality pitch and then ended great. Good episode all together. Hopefully now that there was a random walker they will tighten up the farm a bit more. I love Herschells transformation as well.

It's definitely time for this bunch to get themselves organized. Defensively, logistically, govenmentally.
They're down to a dozen adults, not enough of a community to survive, let alone turn things around even a little bit. They should be thinking about ways to attract or join with other groups of survivors. Will it be risky? Sure, some people will always be looking to exploit the situation but there will be plenty of others who will see the inherent of sense of banding together and cooperating.

I think it would be way easier to survive as a pair or as a large group then a smaller type situation that they have now. They are hard to mobilize and instruct as it stands now. As a pair you would be light on your feet and not tied down. As one really large group you could be way more organized. Now its just a bunch of people giving their opinions on crap.

He was given every opportunity to argue in favor of his point of view, which was fine (preachy and shrill, but fine). But when he gets outvoted, he needs to let it go and not just keep repeating the same arguments over and over in a huffier tone. That kind of thing is okay in the FFA, but it really doesn't fly in a survival situation. The group is better off without him, just as the FFA is better off without LHUCKS.

It's about time they think about reproducing. Since Lori is preggers we need some sex scenes involving Maggie, Andrea and even the bald chick. Survival of the fittest and the fittest thing to do right now, for the ladies, is bang away. We need to see these scenes.

Also, I noticed in the "debate" scene that there was some black guy standing around with the others. Who is that guy, where did he come from, and why doesn't he say anything? Is he mute?

Dale might have been annoying but he filled an important role in making sure that everyone was aware what a murderous weasel that mother####ing ####### Shane was.

Everybody seems to know this already. Dale was just the guy who wouldn't shut up about it.

Not really buying the super strength walkers thing. These things can barely move, but they can pin a man down and rip his intestines out with their bare hands? But they can't open bus doors or break windows?

Up until this point the only Walkers were in the barn.. They started feeling "protected" at the farm.. That feeling is gone now, and as was written up a month ago or so in an interview with Rick, it seems it is time to hit the road

The actor, Jeff DeMunn, wanted off the show. He's Darabont's number #1 actor to use in anything he ever does. Been in every single Darabont movie and show. Shawshank, he was the lawyer. Green Mile, prison guard. The Mist, customer in store. Whenever I read a Stephen King book I always insert this guy as one of the characters cause you know if Darabont makes the movie, he'll be in it.'packersfan said:

Last scene would have been much more powerful if it had been Shane that walked up and put Dale out of his misery.

So he was overly moralistic IRL too. Seems like a good casting.

That's not good enough for me. I want somebody around giving Shane the Evil Eyeball all the time. You can't let an ####### like that get comfortable.

It still amazes me how cavalier everyone is about the walkers. Sleeping outside, wandering around alone, hooking up in drugstore, not noticing your kid (the kid that almost died already) is off somewhere etc etc.I guess they have to have moments like that to provide plot points but it's pretty silly.
The fact that Carl can just wander off by himself is ridiculus for the group to allow after what happened to Sophia, but so unrealistic for his mother to allow after Carl almost died when he was shot. Even if they felt safe at the farm, they should have at least some sort of buddy system, where no one goes anywhere alone or unarmed.

Star Trek 'red shirt'. They are useful when going out on expeditions. No need to give them a name as they won't be around long. I saw a couple other 'red shirts' in that meeting as well.

Carl just all around needs to be smacked. And his mother, too. Instead of trying to turn it into a soap opera, she should be parenting.

This, dude has alterior motives similar to Ben Linus allowing himself to be captured on LOST and playing stupid while he was beat to a bloody pulp.Shoulda hung him, remember sound attracts these things? Why fire off the .44 mag if you don't need to?

I don't trust him either, but I think you're reading a bit too much into the HIS people comment. They left him for dead with not much debate.
