The Walking Dead

The core group wanted to add them and would have until Rick went all nuts.

Agreed, but their bowing down to him will be costly. They should have stood up to him at that point.

When they all voted to kill the kid it was essentially Rick and Shane arguing for it while only the old guy was against it. Being compliant in immorality and bad decision making isn't exactly a noble virtue.

Like I said I love the show and the moral philosophical questions it raises, but on a character level I'm not seeing much of a difference between the Rick gang and the Woodbury gang. They all left their morality, whatever they had of it, at the door a while ago.

Notexactly, morailty changed the day the "disaster" happened.
morality is relative, in a changing world you gotta chance your morality.
if you know what i mean in todays world none of those have morality, but they live in a different world

Watching Walking Dead and Fringe makes me miss The Wire. Lot of great actors from that show appear/play in these two. I hope Tyrese character lasts long in the show and owns a major role.

I disagree. Murder is never ok, regardless of the circumstances.

I like how earnest you guys are about this show. Even though it's gone from quality back to absolute dog**** in a blink of an eye after series 3.1 was totally engrossing. I've been hoping Cutty would step up and save the day but he's just angling for token-black-dude status at the minute. So frustrating.

I agree. By bowing down to Rick they allowed him to make a decision they knew was wrong and it cost them more people and all that they bring to the table.

Hopefully that is ending when Herschel called Rick out on this last episode. However more than the one legged man needs to stand up to him.

No you do not.

Yeah, The Wire obviously destroys The Walking Dead quality, especially on the acting front.

I still enjoy the show.

You know, I've rep'd you once. It was because of your Omar Little avatar. ;

I only enjoy the show through my natural need to finish a story once it's started.

I'm sure somebody has brought this up in this topic, but you guys should play the video game too if you haven't. I don't watch the TV show, but man, that game is really good. And you guys that are actually to the whole thing would probably think even more highly of it.
