Like MP I was surprised and think Dale's death does remove the needed moral compass and a sensible voice from the group. It's a big loss and there seems to potential for dark days on the horizon for the group.<br />As for Carl I wonder if this transformation seemed sudden to any on else? Doesn't it seem he became a rebellious teenager all in this episode. I wonder how "Carl indirectly kills Dale" will play out in the next several episodes or if it will be carried over to season 3. Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-64122176029691864402012-03-06T22:09:20.346-05:002012-03-06T22:09:20.346-05:00I can't say I am surprised by Dale biting the ...I can't say I am surprised by Dale biting the dust (you could feel something coming), but was surprised it happened now. The way it happened is even more intriguing.<br /><br />It shows the consequences of your actions, as well as non-action, which we all experience day in and out.<br /><br />I believe this will fire Shane up even more so now, with Dale gone who was the only one completely against him, and Rick continuing to falter with the "big" decisions. Rick has already cost them large numbers of the group they once had in Atlanta. I think Rick will move to try and overthrow him completely now...which could mean the end for Shane is fast approaching.<br /><br />But, further more, I believe we'll see the end of the farm as well...because if other walkers were nearby when this one got across, they may all begin trying the same thing...crawling.TheLooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654446986939783563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-60462143946239908172012-03-06T01:52:37.620-05:002012-03-06T01:52:37.620-05:00Well said, especially about the significance of Ca...Well said, especially about the significance of Carl transitioning from child (bike) to adult (gun).Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-16988207549226702362012-03-06T01:15:32.389-05:002012-03-06T01:15:32.389-05:00This one shocked me.

It's even more intriguing to me though how he "stole" that gun from Darryl and in the process of stealing it, lost it. Also, did you notice how much of a "kid" he still is... Notice how he played with Darryl's bike, "gunning" the engine on the bike as if it was a toy. Maybe it was a metaphor for him transitioning, rapidly, from a child to an adult in this messed-up world.<br /><br />Really great morality play as you said.M.P.
