Mindless Ramblings of The Cool Ones

Yes, yes I would like that. I've always wanted to try long-pork you know you may want to wait until after the Walking Dead though.

You better hope I never master the turtle style of fighting. - _-

Actually... everyone better hope that.

Not familiar with that, but having owned some turtles, I'm picturing you, laying on your back with teeth snapping, arms and legs flaying about.

Any imagining you might be doing of me on my back should certainly involve you in front of me. :P

That aside, as soon as someone said " I'm going to go find Dale. " ...Yep... Saw that coming.

Haha let me wake up first geesh lol just kidding. This was a very interesting episode, in that Amber and I debated at length over the decision of what to do with Randall.

Now, for the record, I actually agree with her that Randall should be some how or another sent away, but not killed out right. However; loving to take up the devils advocate from time to time, I did bring up the very real fact that Randall did try to kill Rick and the others already. Randall claims to be a nice guy, but anyone being tortured will say anything the can to make the pain stop. For many reasons, Randall poses a threat to Ricks merry band of survivors and deciding what to do with him is an important step, because just letting Randall live to regroup with his friends and come back to Hershell's farm to take it over is a likely scenario.

Dale, you will be missed. Clearly one of the most humane people on the show, I didn't expect the ending that occurred. It really was a sad moment, especially considering how drawn out and traumatic it was. Dale didn't deserve that, the one person who was fighting for 'life' get's gutted out by a fucking walker. It kind of goes to show that Life is not Fair, and to me only brought back to focus how just letting Randall go, as the Swamp Walker was let go (intentional or not) can seriously come back to bite them in the ass.

I would've done away with Randall from the start. Or just left him there stuck to that fence. Someone shooting at me is not my problem once they stop doing that.

As for Dale, truth be told as soon as I heard someone say " I'm gonna go look for Dale. " I knew that was it for him. Frankly he was too much of an idealist in a world where reality is shit. In times like that you either do what you have to in order to survive, or you die.

In the heat of the moment, right after the fire fight, I would have been 'ok' with Randall dying. After all, he was just trying to take the life of me and mine. Soon as Rick wanted to save him though, I most likely would have been with him and wanted to save him as well. Just the type of person I am.

On one hand, I agree that times have changed and 'some' concessions need to be made. However; at the end of the day, I would have stood with Dale and could not have just killed someone in cold blood. So much so, I would have volunteered to take Randall one state over and leave him to fend for himself. There are many unknowns with Randall, but killing him is not the only solution to resolving the issue.

Very valid points.

My opinion: they should have left randall impaled on the fence as walker food.

There's no getting over the fact that he tried to kill you. He had mallicous intent!
Inviting him to live with the group is like inviting a rapist to babysit your kids.

Dale had to die. There's no room for 'humane' decisions in a dying, lawless world. He didn't deserve the death that he got but, the irony of his death proves why he had to go. Turn the other cheek and get bit in the ass.
