That episode was...wow. I am not going to give it away, but I really liked that character, however, we have been warned: Do not grow too close to anyone.
And, yes, the comic is remarkably different from the show. Daryl and Merle don't even exist in the comic (unless I missed them). And, honestly, the comic is soooooo much darker than the show. The weaknesses of each of the characters (including Rick) that hinted at in the TV show are magnified intensely in the comic. There are a few times when Rick goes almost full into the heart of darkness.

That's what I mean!! And is Carl going to be all Peter "I didn't stop my uncle's killer" Parker-ish from now on? :dunno:
That's what I meant by "Peter Parker Syndrome" :1orglaugh
Oh, my God!! They killed Dale!! :surprise:
You, bastards!! :cussing:

Actually, the kid could be a problem, production wise.
So far in the comic, we are only a couple of years or so into the who infestation. So, in the comic, Carl has only aged a couple of years...but has changed a bit.
Here on the show, he has already aged a couple of years - and soon enough, we will be seeing some changes in the actor himself. Seeing we haven't even seen a change in seasons yet in the TV show (but for a hint of it starting to get chilly by Lori tonight), they had either better get things moving, find another actor to play Carl, or kill Carl off.
It kind of reminds me of the whole Lost thing, with Walt being written off the island simply because the actor was growing up.

I didnt watch the first showing at 8:00, but a friend of mine called and told me to watch the second showing at 10:00. so i waited and waited and waited and not until the last 10 minutes it got interesting. This show has disappointed me since last season. I gave up on it a long time ago on the walking dead. The first season kicked ass, but then they go and fire all the writers from the first season. So it explains a lot on which direction the show is going. I play left 4 dead2 and dead island which is way more fun. killing zombies and leaving your friends to die in the game is whats its about. who in the fuck cares about laundry in a zombie infested world.
^ I usually watch the second showing of it because it's followed by Talking Dead. I like watching it right after the episode.
Yes, one hell of an episode, especially the ending. (don't think I'll be going to sleep right away...). I don't really care about it's differences/similarities to the comics, although I'd love to read them.
Horrifying, heartbreaking, fantastic job on all counts. Sorry to see Dale go, but we had to know he'd be bound to go sooner or later. The voice of reason in that kind of world couldn't last. I think Rick will be filling those shoes now.
Carl is a little bastard but it's no surprise to see him be that way. Look at the world around him, not to mention that he can't really act like the kid they want him to be since there are no other kids around to help him keep that mentality. Only adults. Now he has the knowledge that his actions led to Dale's death. Who knows how that will affect him.
By the way... I'm willing to bet Daryl's brother is the leader of Randall's gang. They should've shot him in the head when he was still impaled on the fence.

I watch it on DVR but it's always nice to know what happens before hand.
Carl needs a boot in his ass.

^ agreed
RIP Dale... you were like the cool grandpa I never had 
i got to meet reedus over the summer, and after a few drinks he let some tidbits from the second half of the season go. its been pretty hard to not play the spoiler to all of the people i know that watch the show. the main focus for the season is NOT zombies, as its clearly shown... ill just say, if he told the truth (and has so far), its going to be quite the lead in to season 3...

I agree, that Carl is pissing me off. That god he isn't my kid
Cant wait for Breaking Bad to start again
It's funny that you mention that because I was just saying that to my roommate tonight while watching this episode. I felt Walt had a much bigger role to play but due to him just hitting puberty and growing he had to be written off the show. I now feel that casting children as major characters is a bad idea, I'm waiting for them to kill Carl off or they might just start off a season saying "Three Years Later..." (I really hope they don't choose the latter)

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
I had kind of dropped away from this series. But I've still been trying to keep up. And now I'm glad that I did. To be honest, when they dusted Zombie Sophia, I was kind of glad (she was hella annoying to me). But Dale... Dale was the group's moral compass. I was AMAZED that they killed off Dale! :weeping: He was the only character that I really, really liked. Daryl is OK. But with the rest of them, I tend to pull for the zombies to take a bite.
Also, I'm with the guy on The Walking Dead, who said that Carl is probably going to go psycho now. He's a creepy kid to begin with. But you can almost feel his "put the dog down, Damien" moment coming.

I don't think it will be. I think it will be a character known as The Governor.

Nonsense if you ask me. Pure drama for the simple sake of it.
I'll comment because what occurred in the last episode has been mentioned. 1) Where do the walkers get the strength to disembowel a struggling man with their bare hands? 2) Why would Dale, easily the most cautious member of the group, put himself in such a dangerous position? Walking alone in the dark, away from the base, and allow himself to be so distracted by a wounded cow?
So, I take it we're all supposed to reflect on the great irony of losing the most 'humane' member of the group, the hostage's savior to Fate? Is that it? :dunno:

To answer those questions 1) It's Greg Nicotero's signiture with zombies, their uncanny strength to rip human flesh with ease. However if you look at the decomposition of said walker, let's assume that it's fingertips or fingers were down to the bone, so that could explain the digging into the flesh. 2) I think he just walked off to be far away from an execution, to clear his head. As for the cow, well it was wounded, but who knows who did it right. Might have been the renegades camp or more than one walker.
