See this is a perspective I just don't understand. When someone eats your friend, you kill them...HARD! LOL. Seriously, there is no level of torture or kill that would have been too much for these people. They were monsters! I do understand how the writers were obviously trying to foreshadow something and maybe imply that the group is loosing it themselves with the extreme brutality that was used. But from the perspective of the group I just see it as appropriate given the situation.

So, you think this was purely revenge and not because they figured that these people were still a threat? Or just that the way they killed them was revenge, the fact they had to kill them was for their own safety?

Don't get me wrong, I can't even imagine the hatred toward these people and I am happy they got what was coming to them, but even so, when the guns are down and you are having a conversation, chopping someone to pieces like that takes a certain kind of disconnect from humanity. It is one thing to do this in a fight, but to end the fight, cool off, talk things out, and THEN still do this, that is the definition of "cold blooded killing". But I guess revenge is best served cold, huh..

I think it was all of the above. I just don't think you can fault them for how they did it given what the termites had done.

I don't disagree with any of that. But I think its justifiable and doesn't mean they were bad or wrong for doing it the way they did. Thinking so seems like too much Yoda thinking to me. [Yoda] Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.[/Yoda]

Malenko:
I think the "saving bullets" line was just meant to sound cool and shouldn't be taken literally. Besides, they took the termites guns after the slaughter so they had more guns and ammo, and Rick had to keep his promise. In addition to that they buried the bodies, they didn't just leave them out to be zombie food. Even if they did that as to try and not attract Zombies to the church, it still shows some semblance of humanity.

I do think they need to start moving towards a finale or way to end the zombie plague or people, myself included, will lose interest in the show. When they start talking about the contest for the next season's premier it sort of takes away some of the tension of the current season. Of course, they aren't afraid to kill off main characters in this series. :dunno
