i'm glad he died and i hope that little boy is next. i also want rick's wife dead. herschel i wanted dead, but he seems to be turning a corner and i don't want him to die as much.
With Dale gone there's no longer any good voice in the group. Slow descent into madness, with the redneck (norman reedus) watching it and laughing.
Anybody notice how Daryl's status has upgraded? He was there when Rick and Shane were going to off triggerfinger and he was the one to euthanize Dale. Why is Rick turning into such a queef after going Josey Wales? Very inconsistent. You can't have an inconsistent leader. But, hey; where else you gonna go for your zombiepocalypse fix? Question about Rick's Colt Python revolver. Is it stainless steel or electroless nickel?
Kid? Oh, you mean the young man that was shooting at them with a scoped rifle from a rooftop? That young man who is a clear threat to lead 30 more armed criminals back to certainly rape, kill, and steal all their supplies? I don't personally know any law enforcement officers who wouldn't consider his oxygen rights forfeit.
In the previews for next week, looks like he escapes. Setting up for a season finale showdown between the groups?
yeah.. Dale was the conscience of the group. The juxtaposition of him dying and the boy losing his innocence were not accidental. This show is gonna get even darker.
For Dale, the poetic injustice was that he passionately defended Randall from being shot and that, in the end, he was was shot himself, albeit for different moral reasons. He cared so deeply for everyone around him and fought passionately to hold onto his humanity, it was just tough to see him go that way. One can be hard on Carl, but he's just a little kid who, while acting like a brat, had little idea that his foolishness would lead to something so tragic.
WHAT?! I said if someone I didn't get along with was getting attacked I would leave them, and it told me I had a "Dale- Father Figure" personality? Maybe it was my other answer where I said if my friend came back with a flesh wound I would watch him for a while, and kill him only if he turned...hmm?
This "Better Angesl" episode has set up the last-episode-Battle-of-the-Alamo. The new zombie resurrection development will throw a radical curbe ball at the audience.
okay. SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT WATCHED LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE: How did Shane turn into a zombie? Did i miss something? He was never bitten, was he?
In reference to Shane turning into a zombie.... If you remember back in the episode when they tried to dump the hostage off inside that fence. Shane made mention that the two police officers first killed inside the fence had not been bit. Rick made mention that they must of been scratched. Maybe they weren't scratched either. It could be that they are all infected and the disease will take over once you die.
^^That's it. Everyone is infected. You turn into a zombie if, A) you are bitten and not eaten or, B) die without injuring your brain*. Apparently, the show's writers made an attempt to let us know this at the beginning of last season when the group gets caught up on the highway. There were a couple of people that were dead inside their cars without being eaten or turning into zombies. Story goes they were killed in the wreck via head trauma and, thus, did not turn. This is why the kid/hostage - whose neck was broken by Shane - turned.
If I'm in the group and I find out that Rick has had this information since it was whispered in his ear by that guy at the CDC, then I'm sort of pissed. Its kind of important information that would be handy to know. Also, this might explain why after Rick shot and killed that hefty boy in the bar, he walked over to him and put one more in his head for good measure (because he knew that he would come back unless he put one in his head).
"Rick has had this information since it was whispered in his ear by that guy at the CDC," We have a winner.
If so, I like it. I'd like it more if they showed the scene again in next week's finale via a flashback.
That's a great point. Maybe Rick was so distraught that he wasn't thinking clearly. Who knows - but yes, this Sunday will be badass. Do we know if this finale is 2 hours?
Apparently the show is going by the original Romero rules. In the original "Night of the Living Dead", anyone who dies, regardless of the reason, is reanimated as a zombie. One does not have to be bitten, though apparently zombie bites are lethal in some way, leading to death and subsequent reanimation. That's why you can hear instructions in the radio broadcasts that bodies must be burned after death. In NotLD, it was explained that radiation from a satellite blanketed the Earth, resulting in all recently dead bodies rising from the dead. The TV show is apparently taking the virus approach, with similar rules.
Tonight's final episode is just one hour. It's going to be epic like this half of the season has been all along! I wouldn't be surprised if somebody important gets bit and they leave it as a cliffhanger and then next season opener they do a battlefield amputation to save them.
WELL THAT WAS AWESOME.....spoilers So WTF is this zombie killer ninja with a horde of zombie slaves?? To me that's taking the step from a realistic depiction of zombie apox to an unrealistic fictionalization. And so this new prison? I feel like it's not going to be a democracy anymore, but with the warden calling the shots, not Rick.
