Do men with strong morals like Rick and Dale have a place in a world where survival is of utmost importance? Bring on next week!
i think that the people who complain about the show don't realize this...Zombies are simply a proxy for conflict - a natural disaster sort to speak. It could have been a nuclear war, or wolves in The Grey... the show is about how these characters adjust and are slowly compromised by the world falling apart and what they have to do has consequences on them too.

There is definitely some lazy writing...Dale didn't have to be eviscerated; the zombie could have simply ripped a chunk out his throat and the end result would have been the same.

its a great show, but AMC cheapening out on it has slowed down the momentum...get off the farm already!
