Hi! So, this is my first wiki account, so feel free to give me some advice.

I started this account to share my opinion on the Walking Dead, because I am just BURSTING with opinions!

Haha, so anyway, I want to start of with the death of Dale. I feel like when he died, the conscience of the group also was "gone with the wind". As soon as he dies, all things go to hell, people start killing each other, and... well the farm gets over run with walkers (but I don't think Dale could have stopped that!). When Rick starts saying "This is no longer a democracry" I realized that Dale held a major role in this group. Rick was the leader of thegroup; T-Dog, Andrea, Shane, and Glenn were the firepower (so-to-say); Lori, Carol, and later on Maggie, Beth and Patricia did the day to day work, and Glenn was like the handyman. But where did Dale fit in? Well, the season 2 finale clearly showed that Dale was the morale side of the group. He kept them, in a way, HUMAN! He was in all essence the man keeping that group's conscience in perspective. He was always trying to lead them down the right path, such as when he fought for Randall's life. So he was hugely important to this group, and as I said before, when he died, this started to spiral downward.

Now, RIck is another matter. I feel that he was right in killing Shane. I mean, Shane obviously meant to kill him, and he was obviously a danger to the group. I also feel he was right in keeping the fact that they all might be infected to himself. If that knowledge was widespread, then the group might have descended in chaos, and besides he didn't even have any proof that it ws true. He revealed that truth at the right time, and I think the group was too harsh to judge him that way.

Anyway, thats my rant for today! Thanks for reading if you did!
