Walking Dead: Season 2
Ginsu Victim:
Wow, I didn't see that coming. (Well, until just before it happened....when Dale said he was going, I knew that zombie was going to be there. Didn't think they'd kill Dale off this quick!)
SNAAKE:
why dale ???
I liked his random standing around and judging shane without saying anything lol..
Howard_Casto:
I knew somebody was going to die. The way they set it up I thought Carl was going to kill the boy in the barn.
Just like when Otis died, this was poorly filmed/written as well, which pisses me off even more.
First off, I don't kow anything about Zombie physics or anything but I've got to think that if you had an ENTIRE COW to eat all to yourself you wouldn't be all to interested in some grizzly old man. Also why was the zombie not setting there eating the cow? What did he do? Go to the trouble of tearing it open eat and single bite and wander off?
Speaking of tearing... I call B.S. on the whole ripping Dale's chest open with it's bare hands. Even if you ignore the fact that zombies are rotten corpses and therefore weaker than a normal person, this particular zombie was so weak that it was stopped by a couple of inches of mudd! You can't rip apart someones stomach without a sharp object anyway. It's too slick, your hands can't get a grip. If he had bit into his stomach sure, but not like that. I think the director had been watching too many Romero movies, which are kind of campy on purpose.
The character was well-loved and the scene was emotional.... there was no reason to cheapen it with such a lame sight gag.
I officially hate Carl now, not just for killing Dale, but for being a little brat in a world where there's no room for such behavior. In the comics he is a mature, likeable little boy. (Even if he is a borderline nut job.) The writers on the show obviously haven't read the comics because this episode gave him nothing but "curious little boy" scenes. Carl is NOT a little boy..... he's Carl damn it!
Anyway, I'll finish out the season, but I doubt I'll watch the next one.
In the comics, the books got progressively worse after Dale died. Considering the show isn't nearly as good as the books, I don't expect much at this point.

I thought the same thing, I thought Carl was going to off the dude. Speaking of that, I think that was a stupid plot point to even rescue that dude in the first place. They have wasted 2 episodes dealing with this guy. What the hell did Rick think he was going to do with him anyway? He saved him, brought him to the farm, wasted medicine and supplies on him, then what?! Kinda dumb.
It kinda sucked about Dale, but he was getting a little annoying at the end anyway. His whole "let him live" speech was a little sappy.
Tell you the truth, I thought Shane was gonna die this episode. I understand on what youre saying Howard about the zombie tearing his guts open, but you have to keep in mind, he is an old man, Im sure that would make it easier to rip through. Not only that, but the zombie has the drive to tear into his stomach, who knows what kind of strength takes to do that. I thought the effect was cool nonetheless. I dont understand how Lori doesnt watch Carl. He went to spy on that randall dude, wandered off encountered the zombie, and almost walked in on Rick killing the dude. Its dumb, he is all over the place. Carol is annoying too. Like I mentioned, the main thing that irriatated me was the whole randall character in general. he isnt pleading his case either, they arent giving him any reason NOT to kill him. He hasnt said that he would denounce his other group, or NOT tell them where they are, or work with them etc.
