Did not see that coming at all, wish I could say I was sad and maybe last season I would have been or even the beginning of this one but now not so much.

Discuss....

[peac-E]

Yeah, not really gonna miss Dale. I think he's the delusional one. I see where he's coming from but "civilization" is gone Dale. The same set of rules don't apply.

[Zprime]

Agreed. When I saw the other hand grasping @ the gun I was thinking.."Oh plz not Shane! Thats gonna start a endless loop of "only shane had the balls.." etc.

[backwoodsroamer]

I have no idea where this is going, but we are being shown time and again Rick lacks the resolve to be a good leader. He doesn't have the "stomach" for the job.  Shane is too much.  Rick is too little. Is Daryl juuuust right?

very true, the reason daryll is fit for the job is because he has lived in this world his whole life considering his upbringing, but lacks the say to boss people around by being the younger brother of a notorious person that is rooker.
he even mentions tht the group is broken so he doesnt believe in fending for others nemore now the sophia is dead...this is a pretty solid reaction. people have to fend for themselves..it is a place for the survival of the fittest...while dale was right in many occasions he pretty much summed up his demise in his own words.

RIP DALE.

I'm SO FREAKIN HAPPY that this delusional FOCK finally met his doom.  he had no bidness living in the zombie infested WD world.  I'm so sick and tired of his constant whining about humanity and civilization.  Hey crazy eyed grandpa... there is not more civilization.   Also, I'm upset at Rick.  WTH Rick?? you manned up in the Bar and now you're back to being a wussy?  come on man.  find your balls.  Does Daryl have to bail you out every single damn time?  DARYL is a FREAKIN BAD ARSE!

I liked Dale's character even despite his annoyingnes in the last few episodes, so I was sad to see him go.

[vikingjedi]

Shane has had this group headed down the wrong path since the beginning and Dale was the only person speaking up against him. The only good thing that came out of this is that Rick finally understood what Dale was talking about and has his head on straight again. Killing an innocent person for a crime they haven't committed is cold blooded murder in any world.

Almost forgot Dale helped save Andrea from Shane too, that was cool.

no, anyone know simple arithmetic mixed with logic? WHICH OF COURSE AMC WONT UNDERSTAND

Rick- Too Little
Shane- Too Much
Daryl- Medium

-2+2+0= 0
WHY CANT DARYL SHANE RICK be the only people alive already

[MaskedMamba]

Can't believe Rick couldn't bring himself to euthanize Dale, it wasn't killing it was mercy. Not killing Randall made sense because he found out his 12? year old son is becoming blood thirsty and I think he would have done it if Carl hadn't shown up. Carl completely fucked up everything this episode. He resulted in Randall living and Dale dying.

[RegushRacing]

I can't believe that people can rejoice that Dales dead. Despite what people think Humanity has nothing to do with Civilization. We live in Civilization and judging from posts on this board I don't believe there is much humanity in this board.

I don't think humanity will die, we at the end see Andrea completely beside herself. I think she will take over the standpoint Dale harps.

[inv1s1ble raven]

Dale really had been annoying for a while now.  was anyone else quoting "In nomine Patris et fillii et Spiritus Sancti" as Daryl was looking down on Dale?

[UniformSierra]

I was disappointed to see that Rick couldn't put his head on his shoulders this episode. I would have a hard time killing Randall if I were put to the task, but I didn't ask to be the leader.

If Randall is let free, he will go to wherever he has the best chance of survival. That would be with his old gang of rapers/looters which are heavily armed. They're going to want to know what happened to him, and Randall will be more than willing to let them know that they're on Hershell's farm and that will be game over. I think that killing Randall was the best option available. It's a sad thing, but it had to be done. If they kept him then he was just a time bomb waiting to escape or kill people in the camp.

The stakes were too high, Randall needed to be killed.

Dale was really pissing me off these past few episodes. So seeing him get killed was a sad but relieving moment. Would he be able to live with the fact Randall escaped or was let go only to come back and rape and murder the rest of the group? Although I'm not a big Shane fan, he was spot on when he told Dale it was on his hands.

Dale was the voice of reason in a savage world.  Sometimes savagery is the only way to survive, and yes, sometimes cold blooded murder is a viable option. But even when you act this way you must always remember somewhere in the back  of your mind that what you are doing is not  "right."  As long as that memory is there humanity survives.  Society, humanity, civilization whatever you want to call it continues to exist because we delicately balance savagery and reason in a extremely complicated juggling act.

We are discussing a TV show. Just because people seem cruel and callous on the forums when discussing fictional events doesn't mean they are cruel and inhumane in real life.

at least now, we have closure. but still,

the fact that it wasn't merle

bums me out. that fact that it's

I look a it like when a person is drunk, when your drunk you don't care and behave how you are. on a forum nobody knows each other(for the most part) so you don't have to hide who you are. ie you don't care and behave as you are. For the most part.

Didn't have anyone particular in mind, but figured he was putting someone down who had turned. Turns out that's only half right.

True the anonymity of the internet makes people say they are going to do things that they wouldn't actually do. That's why I don't think anything they post on forums is a true representation of what they are like in real life.

Well actually I am cruel and inhumane in real life.  I know the difference between "right" and 'wrong," but that never stopped me from doing the "wrong" thing.  I won't hurt animals, kids, or women.  Other than that I'm pretty much up for anything.

I think that is the definition of "humane". What do you do go outside and stomp on some daisies? LOL

Who thinks next episode someone will wake up from a dream and Dale will be alive?

Hopefully no one would think that. It is a horrible plot device.

I highly doubt that's the case. For one, it's just not within the 'style' of this show to do that. Plus this show is all about hardships like this.

If it DID happen to be a dream, it would make sense to me that it would be Carl's dream. Then he would decide to warn the others of the zombie and therefore potentially save Dale's life. Perhaps he also would not have interrupted the execution (if that was also part of the dream).

But like I said, I highly doubt it was a dream.

[Zprime]

My only answer to this is Dale dying is all SHANES fault. Following your logic I'll say.



Shane busted down the barn door..this lead to Herschel leaving the farm..which lead to Rick & Glen going after him..which lead to the shootout..which lead to them saving randall..which lead to the whole discussion in the 1st place..which lead to Cow/Dale being ninjawalkered!

Shane planned it! He planned it!


Sry thought I'd put something worth reading in all this mess. Not that I believe any of it or anything so far here makes the least bit of sense. You didn't like the epsoide..I get that. Now tell us how you really think?
