The danger comes with the territory of a spoiler thread...)
Although the forum does not have spoiler tags you can white out the spoiler texts if you want to be considerate. Of course that does not mean they won't peak.
If I was a father I'd be concerned that spoiler> Carl wanted to watch the execution, but I would not call him a sociopath. I think he felt guilty about his actions in the woods including loosing a gun and had no way of projecting the final outcome. <end spoiler]
The danger comes with the territory of a spoiler thread.
I sure the writers for this show have a plan, but for the purpose of plotting out the show and trying to parallel it with the comic, spoiler>Dale's Death<end spoiler seems like a waste. I realize they were making a case that the one voice for staying civilized, just got snuffed by the reality of the new world order.
Comic Talk: What's interesting is that in the comic both Dale and Sophia are still alive at this point. I find I'm missing one of the major characters in the comic called Tyreese. In the show they have substituted a character called T-Dog, but mostly he has been a bystander.
I think I mentioned it before, but I find the entire discussion of "survival morality" intriguing. Was Shane right to shoot Otis? Yes it was completely self serving but the outcome was that one of them made it back resulting in Carl's survival. However the bottom line was that Shane traded Otis for himself and Carl.

And last night, can they afford to trust this kid they captured after the shoot out? A civilized person like Dale says "give him a chance", but the real question becomes, "can we afford to give him a chance?" When I place myself in that situation, if I thought I had a vehicle, most likely I would drive the kid blind folded, 30 miles away and kick him out the door versus killing him. But, if I did not feel like the group could afford to do this, then the only answer would be execution.
How many here were rooting for them to shoot or hang the kid?

Well, he was being a kid. My guess in their situation he gets a lot of free time, but if I was a parent in that situation, I would of had him under a tight leash.

[/QUOTE]I forgot about that...changed my mind: unfortunately execution was the right answer.
Comic Talk: I had my hopes set that they'd find the prison. That and the showdown in the comic with the Governor's people is a big deal. I'm wondering if they found an abandoned prison to film in?

In the show, I assume the group that they've run into who is "close by" does represent the next primary threat who could be their version of the Governor. I stopped reading the comic when I reached issue no.40 which is spoiler>the showdown between the Governor and Rick's group<end spoiler because I want to see where the show takes it first.
I saw a preview of the Season Finale and it seems like that finale takes place on the farm. Will there be a prison in the survivors future?
