I did that “personality test” a few pages back and it determined I was Dale.
I thought this was a great episode actually. Add in the fact that now the group as a whole (should) are going to have issues with Rick and it truly did show the “break” in the group. The group decided on a verdict for Randall, Rick went to do it and fell through. Even with the excuse of Carl being there, the group can’t really trust Rick to be the head anymore if the head can’t follow through. Even in the end, Daryl had to be the one to pull the trigger on Dale.
I thought Rick was making a turn around after he killed those guys in the bar no problem and was the one who made the shot on Sophia, now I’m not so sure thats going to happen anymore. I sort of liked Dale in that they needed to have someone of another opinion so I thought it was pretty catastophic to the group to lose him.
I think Carl needs to die. He is trying to act grown up by being witness to the happenings of the group but then it isn’t him who pays the price for his mistakes. I wonder if he will let anyone know he was messing with that zombie earlier- especially when Daryl finds out his gun is lost[/quote]
They fucked up Carl by changing how he was portrayed in the comics.[/quote]
Yes, yes they did. Course they did the same thing to Lori as well.
I think the writers hate women and children. Really bad.

Maybe I should check out the comics. Because I hate the way the women are portrayed here (especially Lori after last week) and you have mentioned this before.

In the comics Lori Grimes only sleeps with Shane once, on the road. She is largely sympathetic.
Andrea matures into a competent and reliable scout/sniper. In the show she is a schizo with Bullet Time powers.
Michone is an intelligent, sexy, bad ass…with a sword. Anyone want to guess how she will be on the show?
Oh, and Carl is not the kind of kid that makes you rethink saying things like “it is never ok to use a car battery to discipline your child”. Sorry, but doing your best to make a grieving mother cry, insulting a grieving person’s religion, breaking into a “jail” and creating a security issue, stealing a gun (not just a felony, but an act that could get Daryl killed if he needs it later), losing said gun, not telling anyone about a walker, than walking in on an execution are a lot of fuck ups.

In the comics, Carl is for the most part a lil badass walker killer.
Honestly, I hate saying this, I am startin to lose interest in the show.[/quote]
HOLD FAST!
At least until they decide to turn Michone into a spunky, tells it like it is, irreverent, but ultimately non-threatening African-American Female supporting character type. I mean, there is no hope for her being awesome.
She is both a woman (Lori, Andrea, Maggie is the best one due to one horseback and baseball bat scene but the fact she hasn’t killed Andrea in her sleep loses her points) and black (T-Dawg is the last black man on earth. Atlanta had no black zombies.) so there is zero chance she won’t be poorly done.
Really though, I think if the producers want a character driven show than they need to decide who these character’s are, who they will become, and then stick to the narrative. Week to week their entire personalities change. The other option is to ramp up the action enough that we don’t notice the fucked up characters as much and hope over time they emerge as something.
In the comics it was Carl’s bad assed walker killer self that made the Han vs Gredo thing Roybot posted so appropriate. In the books that scene showed the huge difference between walker and “person”.
