I seriously want Rick or Lori to slap the shit out of Carl in the next episode. Snatch that hat right off his head, too.
Same.
My thoughts exactly.
OK, the shock and slap-happy coping mechanism has worn off, and now I'm just mad, frustrated and depressed Dale died, and so horribly. Seriously.
Same.
My thoughts exactly.

Peace, Brotha.
I better not see you next week and beyond moaning about anything either. Stay gone.

I haven't read the comic, and I shouldn't have read that spoiler.
But TV Dale had better taste than that.

Well to be fair (comics)
Andrea doesn't suck nearly as much in the comics.
See? It would've been great.

Love this show. For all those saying "Screw this soapy BS", well that's why I watch this show. If it was all just killing zombies this wouldn't be entertaining.
For me, this was one of the best episodes yet. Seeing Dale suffering at that end was like a punch in the gut a la Sofia popping up in the last 1/2 season finale.
Love T-Dawg getting shushed in this episode though. Anyway, can't wait till next week!

Awesome and sad at the same time.
Agree with this.
Seriously. And tie it to the front porch of the farm and not be longer than 20ft.Someone get Carl one of these...
Oh God, now that I think about it. :/ I also agree about how there can be 10 great moments in the show but something so seemingly dumb you wonder what the hell happened. Most recent being Lori taking off on her own and Carl in this episode.So your kid shows obvious signs of growing callous and cold.. and what do you do? You pay no attention to him and let him walk around in the fucking woods by himself.
"If there were a zombie apocalypse" is like, one of the biggest "worst case scenario" cliches imaginable. But when it's actually happening in this show, people act retarded. It seems like every episode has like 10 great moments and 1 really baffling, poorly-written plot hole.
Watch Daryl die later because he expected to have that gun in his motorcycle sidebag. Fuck you, Carl.
And can T-Dawg get a fucking line, please? I forget he even existed until they were debating the execution in the house.
Dale, dead > you, alive
Sometimes I wonder how many seasons it will take before the "why aren't they shooting more zombies and being more badass?"-crowd figures out this show isn't made for them.
Show redeemed. Make it happen, writers.
Watching this episode, I literally wanted to slap Carl.

Hey, I have a question. Why would the group take Hershel's medical opinion as incontrovertible fact? Just a few episodes ago, Hershel said the captive kid would definitely lose his leg if pulled off the fence. But then Rick pulled him off anyway, and in the next episode the captive still had his leg, and the audience got one line telling us he would suffer only "minor nerve damage."
Wouldn't you want a second opinion before shooting a man in the head if this guy were your doctor? I know there aren't many medical professionals available, and Dale's wound looked really bad and was almost certainly infected. But in season 1, an infected man was allowed to live until he turned into a zombie, and the episode's message was that every moment of life is precious. Does this seem possibly contradictory to anyone else?

Just caught the rerun.

Stealth zombie appears out of the long grass like it's from The Lost World. Cuts through Dale like he is paper. This show is hilarious.
I can't wait for a mega zombie Otis to crash through a wall and eat Shane.

So yea. Been watching since Episode 1. I've loved the show but this season has really been going down hill. Everyone are starting to turn into wannabe Shanes. Then the one character besides Rick and Hershel that I felt was a real character gets killed in a stupid manner. Needless to say I'm going to finish the season but I'm thinking very hard about not watching next season if the final 2 episodes of this season continue going on that downward spiral.

Really glad Dale got killed off. Started to hate his character when he was getting obsessed with the young blonde female. Was so happy she shot him down and ended up having sex with Dale's nemesis.
Anyway, good riddance. He was holding the group back and I'm hoping his death does not levitate his words/outdated ideals to a higher presence within the group (but looking at the previews, it seems this is indeed the case)

I don't think Dale had a problem with being killed since he raised his head up to meet the gun.

Just saw it...shame what happened to Dale.
I was actually "Team Dale" for this episode...my opinion of the group is changing. IMO, they looked cowardly in the living room when nobody but him could speak up for Randall. I'd prefer to always have moral high ground, even if it doesn't "matter" in a world where nobody can really judge you.
Carl is as dumb as his mother, I mean fuck, what the hell was he doing?
Edit : Unfortunately, they have probably fucked up any hope of Randall not being an enemy. The torture/ruined execution isn't going to go over well if he meets up with his old group again.

Then Shane, as he's being eaten, will scream at Rick as he walks away, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME TO DIE WITH THIS MONSTER, RICK!"
And Rick will turn, stone-faced and point a finger. "You're the monster, Shane. You're the monster."
lolz
No, you're right. I'm just saying Dale died like he did because the script said he had to, not because what happened to him made any sense. The super-smart "I'll set a trap for this old guy instead of eating this still-living meal" ninja stealth zombie, said zombie being strong and fast enough to, by itself, take down and eat a huge cow despite not having the strength to remove itself from a muddy riverbank, nobody being able to fire their guns at the zombie from more than 8 feet away for no reason at all (I thought they had more than one scoped rifle?), the group not insisting Hershel try to save Dale anyway (he's determined wounds to be likely fatal before, like twice, and he was wrong)... the scene was emotionally devastating, but the way it played out makes no sense.
And come to think of it, why didn't anyone look around for other zombies? Did they know there was only one? How did they know that?

This show is so goddamn dumb. I love it so much. Dale bitching about not wanting to live in world of survival of the fittest. Wtf, that's like the number one rule of life on Earth. What an idiot.

Makes sense that Carl inherited her dumb "I'M GOING TO GO ALONE WITH A GUN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FUCKING USE INTO A ZOMBIE INFESTED WORLD AND SEEK OUT TROUBLE SINCE THERE ISN'T ANY AT THIS SAFEHOUSE".
They should have just made that scene with Carl almost getting eaten at night, it might have make me believe his colossal stupidity and faulty judgment make more sense.

I've seen a lot of character deaths on television. That was the only one that evicted a visceral reaction from me. It was completely random, and so sudden.

No, way. Shane will be like "RICK, SAVE ME" and then Rick will turn around it will be Dale's face.
Shane will drop his jaw and gasp as five zombies eat all of his insides. But he'll keep breathing and staring at Rick/Dale for 15 seconds over a looped sound bit that's supposed to pass for music.
Then Rick will put on his hat and be Lori will be sleeping in their Prius.
Good point but I think they killed him because he was suffering so much. Why carry him all the way back to the house (causing suffering), only to waste medical supplies and resources fixing up a man who [they felt] was going to turn into a zombie anyway? I think that would've been far more irrational.
And he kind of asked for it.
Dale died because he decided to go for a walk in the middle of the night all the while not being aware of his surroundings

Dale died because Darabont was fired.

I applaud that the show was ballsy enough to kill off a main character. I hate that they decided to do it in the stupidest and least interesting way possible.
Shane should have killed Dale

Standard horror movie mechanics. Character goes out alone into hostile/unknown terrain, vulnerable, in the dark and with a gun holstered instead of drawn. Death scene.
They should have had Shane find Dale right before he was gutted and have him let it happen.
instead, Carl killed him which is much more unexpected

His stomach was ripped right open, you don't need a doctor to know he's fucked. They put him out of his misery, as such a wound is going to cause a long painful death.

Very good point. He's most definitely a liability now. Dale was in the right morally, but what's right isn't always what's most practical or logical.
Ahahahahahaha
I generally like the show's soundtrack, though.
He died because a genius ninja zombie came for him. No man could survive such a fate.
That zombie was so smart, I was a little surprised it wasn't equipped with the gun Carl dropped.
Ooooh, or ever better: Shane delivers the "mercy killing" and we're left to wonder what made him pull the trigger.
I agree about that. I'm just making fun of the show's occasionally poor writing.

Look, zombies work sort of like ninjas in 1980s action movies.
If there's a lot of them, you're perfectly safe unless you're a bit character.
If there's just one, you're guaranteed dead.

I would've preferred that. I'm having a hard time figuring out what they were trying to "say" with Dale's death. It feels so disjointed somehow. Only thread I see is "Well if Carl had killed the zombie earlier then etc etc etc" but I kinda hate that.
Episode is like the things AMC wanted to do, one zombie, rely on noises and moans to set the tension, no real threat or action, lots of talking.
And the characters are just off.
It's a good show in its own way but as a TWD show.. meh.. falling off... Sorry kirkman your losing me.. don't mess around with the comic or its pretty much a wrap,
