The Walking Dead

Warning, this post is going to contain spoilers from the last episode that aired on Sunday, March 4.

So the guys are deciding what to do with Randal, the shithead who after shooting at them from an elevated position in town, lost his balance while trying to escape and impaled his leg on a fence.
Rick wants to save him.
And as much as I like Rick, his good conscious is going to get himself and more importantly the group killed.
Unable to do anything for his leg at the time (with walkers closing in) Rick forces Randal's leg up through the spiked fence to free him, grabbing him and bringing him home with the rest.
First off.
Fucking no.
Not only did this little shit shoot at Rick, Glen and Hershel, but he was with a larger group of guys trying to get to Hershel's farm to do WHO KNOWS what.
Would I have left Randal there to be eaten alive?
No, I'm not that bad.
But I would have either:
1. Cut his through.
2. Expend a shell into his forehead.

I think it was stupid bringing him back to camp.
But I don't write the script, nor did I write the original graphic novels.

Shane obviously wants to kill him.
Rick wants to let him go. (insert the well needed beat down of Rick and Shane here)
As they're about to leave Randal approx 18 miles out from the farm, they learn that Randal recognized Maggie, and they he went to school with her.
Ok, so now they can't possibly let him go. Because he knows exactly where they are!
Again, I would have just put a bullet in him.
Kid or not, he's a threat to the entire group. And if killing 1 to save the 20 or so survivors at the farm is what it takes... then I'll pull the trigger myself.

But once again, Rick drags Randal back to the farm.

Through some old fashioned beat it out of him, Darrel learns that Randal's group is not only big (at least 30+ men) but they have some serious fire power. He also learned that the group came upon a man with his two daughters camped out alone. The men had their way with the daughters while they made dad watch.

These people aren't "people" like we used to know anymore. They're animals fighting for survival and will take whatever they can to stay alive. Even if that means raping women, killing innocents and stealing whatever they want.

Dale is Capt Conscious and wants to trust this random kid with letting him walk around the farm, help out and become one of them. Dale says we only kill the dead, we don't kill the living.

Bullshit Dale. Pull your head out of your ass and realize that the world as you all knew it ENDED when the dead started to rise and fucking eat people!
Not only that, but this kid already tried killing a few people.
This kid participated in a mass rape.
This kid knows exactly where you live.

I don't believe in executions for no reason.
And honestly I would have just shot him while he was on the fence.
But thinking that he is just some little confused boy is just plain naive.
Hershel thought the dead could be cured back to life, and look where that got him?

I'm not complaining about the show.
Just bitching about the characters.
Dale is gone now... which is fine by me. I think he would have tore the group apart even more with his meddling, drama influencing ways.
