This has been confirmed by the people over at Spoiled Rotten.
"Episode starts with Daryl beating the shit out of Randall in a shed. Randall reveals that their group has about 30 people, including women and children, and that he doesn't know where they're staying since they're always on the move. He also says that they're heavily armed and tells a story about how they once found a guy with two young daughters while out scavenging and proceeded to rape the girls, letting their father live so he could watch. Daryl beats him even harder. Cue theme music.
Daryl leaves the shed and reveals to the others what he found out. Based on that knowledge, Rick decides that they must kill Randall. Only Dale argues against it and asks Rick for one day to talk to everybody and convince them to let Randall live. He gets no support from Daryl, Hershel, Shane or even Glenn. Then there's this big discussion about whether to go through with it. Dale vehemently objects, telling everyone that this is murder and means forever giving up hope for a civilized society. In the end, only Andrea sides with Dale. Majority rules, so Randall is to be executed.
There's also a moment between Hershel and Glenn at one point where the old man gives Glenn his father's watch along with his blessing to Glenn's relationship with his daughter.
Meanwhile, Carl sneaks into the shed to look at Randall who begs Carl to help him escape. Shane finds Carl there and drags him out, telling him to stop trying to get himself killed. Carl then immediately goes and calls Carol an idiot for believing that Sophia is in heaven. Rick asks him to apologize and start thinking before opening his mouth. Carl then steals Daryl's gun, finds a walker stuck in a swamp and tries to shoot it. Before he can do that, the walker breaks free and attempts to grab Carl, who freaks out and runs away.
At nightfall, Rick takes Randall to the barn and prepares to shoot him, but Carl comes in to watch. Rick can't kill Randall in front of his son, so he decides to hold Randall in custody for now. Near the woods, Dale finds a mutilated cow and is attacked by the same walker from before, who freed itself from the swamp to follow Carl. Dale doesn't get bit, but the walker tears open his guts before it's killed by Daryl. Dale's wounds are too grave and Daryl performs a mercy killing by shooting him in the head. End episode."

I think Carl need to be spank. I'm glad that Dale finally gets attack by a zombie. I bet he wish he had a gun than. They should have never brought Randal back to the farm in the first place,since they knew they didn't trust him.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Andrea's on the side of letting Randall live. She was the one who didn't mind if Beth died.
ReplyDeleteOH!
ReplyDeleteJesus, what's everyone's problem with Dale?! He's better than Andrea's dumb ass. Too bad it wasn't her.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! on carl, this is as bad as Sophia moving when Rick told her to stay put!
ReplyDeleteseriously.. talk about pot talking to kettle... her approach to whole Beth situation was too heavy handed for her to have the gall to call Shane on his shit the episode b/f
ReplyDeleteDale dies? THIS SUCKS... I'm a Andrea/Dale fan... Damm it
ReplyDeleteI wrote my opinion about this on another post, but I can't get over Andrea's arrogance in tricking Maggie so she could take the decision for Maggie's sister's well-being away from Maggie and upon herself. Whether or not her idea about Beth's suicidality was correct (I think it wasn't) she did not have the right to do what she did.
ReplyDeleteChalk up another point to the show for deviating far from the comics. Oh well, the tv version of him wasn't as good as the comic so I'm not terribly upset.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. I've always thought that Dale in the comic book was much darker and less native than the TV series one.
ReplyDeleteReally. It's one thing to show such a relationship in the comic book, but to see it on the TV series, I just don't know if I want to see it with real live people.
ReplyDeleteHe's an idiot for thinking that humanity of any sort can existed in such a time and he's more of an idiot for thinking he can preserve it somehow.
ReplyDeleteHumanity DOES still exist in this situation. What Dale doesn't (or didn't, I suppose) realize is that humanity is now a much more flexible quality and you need to choose wisely where and when to display it. That's Dale's problem in a nutshell. He's seemingly incapable of adapting morally or socially to the current state of the world.
ReplyDeleteTrue he was much darker in the comics and I don't think as rash, he wouldn't have gone to hide the guns in a swamp from Shane. Still, I'm a little sad we don't get the Andrea/Dale relationship and see Dale for bit longer and be a better character.
ReplyDeleteI might have extend myself by saying that humanity has totally disappeared in a world like that and maybe that's because the world is recently been placed into such events, so saying that humanity has gone down the toilet might be premature, so I apologize for that.
ReplyDeleteBut, I do see humanity being non-existence in the far future as you've stated being flexible quality at the moment is fine, but the people in that world will see that showing humanity is not the wisest thing in a world, where as time goes on people will become more survivalist to nth degree and I think we'll see that in the series as time goes on. Eventually, getting humanity into their lives will be much more difficult and it'll seem like learning a new trick than just getting it back.
I agree with all of that, I just don't like the fact that he has to die this way. Shane dies much more painless, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI think some of it has to do with Jeffrey DeMunn being vocal about the firing of Darabont. I've had the sense all season they were going to end Dale's character earlier than the comic because he's been given nothing to do. And figured the romance was off with Andrea after she read him the riot act in the second or third ep of the season.
ReplyDeleteDoes T-Dog ever get any story lines in these episodes?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Mr DeMunn thought the world of Mr Darabont, it's possible he could have asked out once the change was made or that was the plan all along. Jeffrey DeMunn is going to be a big loss to this show because he was the one character who had interaction with practically everyone.
ReplyDeleteWould not shock me if Hershel now survives into season 3 as the new mentor and voice of reason along with having some surgical ability.
I read somewhere DeMunn might be working with Darabont on another project. And it is very possible it was a mutual agreement between him and the show's creators to write Dale out earlier than he should've been. It's sad because Dale was a favorite of mine in the comic and had a wonderful end, one that fit his situation with such poetry. Also, one of the few that brought tears to my eyes. If what we're reading here is true - and I've no doubt it is - it's just a sad way to see Dale go.
ReplyDeleteAs to Hershel, it doesn't surprise me he survives longer, either. No idea how familiar you are with the comic, but he is another of my more favorite characters, and for reasons similar to Dale. Show!Hershel only finally begun to behave like his comic counterpart and it, likely not by mistake but design, coincides with Dale's demise/exit. No one else in the group has either of these older characters' view of the world and it's a view needed.
It's criminal how little they've addressed T-Dog on the show. Esp. since Tyrese was a force to be reckoned with in the comic. But I don't think T-Dog is modeled on Tyrese in the least. Still, I hope the core character cull opens up possibilities to expand T-Dog's role.
ReplyDeleteBeyond knowing he dies in the comic I have never read one of them as related to TWD.
ReplyDeleteGuess it would be hard to have Dale walk around with only one leg too. I hate that they are killing him off though, especially when there are characters who need to be killed off. T Dog serves no purpose whatsoever in my opinion and Shane has been around far too long. Oh, and as a fan of the comic more than the show, they need to get the holy hell off that damn farm!
ReplyDeleteI've never read the comic, but I have heard about that little love bug between those two. I honestly wouldn't mind it, as long as it didn't show an older guy making out with a girl at least still in her twenties lol. What I really want to see is Carol and Daryl get together!! It even ryhmes! haha
ReplyDeleteI personally dont mind if dale dies, he doesnt bring much to the group.
