Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. | ||

He's probably lost in his own thoughts and depressed while the zombie is pumped up on cow meat and rage. Fighting back becomes pretty hard when you're old, cold, tired, shocked and in utter terror on your back with that thing in your face. The zombie's hands were most likely worn down close to the bone from the environment and clawing indiscriminately at everything so I dont find it to surprising it could pierce a stomach. Wrenching it open well, maybe it's the same way a parents can pull off superhuman strength when their child is in danger, zombies can probably pull it off when they have fresh meat at hand. Point being, the show's far more enjoyable if you try and find justifications for the plot holes rather than whining about them. Yeah, i can definitely sign your last sentence. If you hate something, it deserves more respect to ignore it, instead of having the zombie-like rage to express your hatred and spoil the fun for everyone else. | ||

True, but it's also annoying to have one of your likeable (not favorite...just likeable) characters just die so easily. But I've stated this before and I'll state it again..Dale's death isn't the issue, it's Carl. The kid got shot and is lucky enough to recover and you'd think he'd be a little more careful, a little more appreciative of this life of his. No no..he's slowly turning into a BAMF, stealing a gun, walking into the forest alone, confronting a zombie (and getting owned, to my enjoyment), and sneaking into the barn multiple times. All in one episode. This isn't a kid being a kid. This is a kid going full retard. Oh yea and he talked back to Carol. You can go on solo zombie hunts and get Dale killed, but talking back to Carol? o hell naw that's crossing the line. | ||

Also, they need to kill off some women, all women on AMC shows fucking suck. I don't know if all the writers for AMC have terrible wives or what not, but all the women in all of there shows are awful. | ||

Breaking Bad and Mad Men both have some very compelling female characters imo. | ||

My jaw hit the floor when it grasped his gut and started ripping it open. Shame that zombification isn't fast, zombie Dale would have been funny. | ||

All in one episode. This isn't a kid being a kid. I find him irritating but it's not that implausible. He has no friends close to his age, why wouldn't he want to be part of the adult circle? He idolises Shane and his dad and wants to be the one roaming out in the wilderness in that stupid hat with gun in hand. Essentially he's bored and sick of being treated like a kid so he's acting out (though not acting well). Now he's got dale* killed I assume he'll get all mopey and realise that actions do have consequences, that he is still a kid etc. | ||

I do agree though that tdog definitely needs more lines, and the women suck, except maybe maggie. Especially andrea. After she shot daryl when everyone told her not to, i was "you *****!" She acts like a teenager despite being at least late 20's or 30's. Acting like she needs to prove stuff. Carol is just a walkover. After she got dissed by Carl, I was like, so she got married to an abusive wifebeater, she repeatedly gets cussed out by daryl, and not even preteen carl. Actually really surprised me when she said something back. I guess everyone has their breaking points. Laurie must be the worst mother ever. Honestly, its the zombie apocalypse and there could be zombies everywhere. She doesn't have anything to do, and yet continues to let carl do whatever he wants. yeah, carl was retarded this episode, but i kind of understand it and i think the writers were trying to show the effects that living in that type of environment can have on young kids. I think the writers were trying to show that carl is becoming sadistic now, especially after he threw rocks at the zombie, and told his dad to kill another person. I liked Dale before this episode, but he really pissed me off in this one, and im glad he died. I think its pretty obvious u have to kill the guy. He knows where they live, and could bring his 30 buddies to gangbang everyone. rick pussied out this episode. still sad dale had to die. shoulda been andrea. Think daryl should be the leader. Its quite obvious now. rick's too much of a pussy, and shane's crazy, but daryl found that middle spot and doesnt have family stuff going on to drag him down. so basically, less stupid women, and more glenn, tdog, and daryl. rick and shane don't need more screen time for the next episode or two, they've had plenty. | ||

I think they need to give him a really good beating....I just wish it was him instead of Sophia that died off =/ On March 06 2012 13:44 SigmaoctanusIV wrote: Really glad they are taking the show in a different direction then the Graphic novel. While the Graphic novel is one of the greatest things I have ever read I don't want it rehatched for TV and having Dale die in this last episode was very unexpected for me having been a huge follower of the graphic novel. (how he died in the Books) + Show Spoiler + Dale gets bitten a by a zombie and hides it from the group, while they are traveling away and he is caught by cannibals and eaten alive. While Screaming tainted meat as they ate him. + Show Spoiler + So the people who ate Dale were almost starving to death? Can you go into more detail about it? That sounds really badass but I think they changed it because they assumed it was too much for a TV show.. | ||

Could be completely wrong though. | ||
