The Walking Dead - 2x11 - Judge, Jury, Executioner

    Daryl beats the survivor who helped Rick and Shane escape last episode, in an effort to get more information from him.  Rick tells the group that he agrees, they can't afford to let this guy free.  Dale is unhappy with this, and asks that he be given some time to persuade the rest of the group that they can't afford to lose their humanity.  In the meantime, Carl is having some issues.
    I'll address a considerably spoiler point later in this post.

    I'm a bit conflicted about this episode.  It was structured nicely, with Carl having more of a story, and it tied together nicely with the main story.  What I didn't like was the opening scene of Daryl beating Randall, the survivor from the other group.  While Randall isn't developed, it seemed like Daryl wasn't thinking through his actions.  It just reinforced that Daryl isn't terribly bright about how to go about gathering information.
    But this episode mostly focused on Dale and his efforts to persuade the rest of the group.  He gets plenty to do in the episode, and he does a better job here than he has before.
    He's a very frustrating character, particularly in this episode.  I would normally agree with his arguments in this episode, but he delivers them in a way that is hard to back up.  And he proceeds to ignore the counter-arguments.  Combined, this makes him seem like a kid.
    The episode ends with Dale dying.  It's by a dead, which Carl can feel at least a little responsible for letting loose.  Dale was one of my favorites in the comic, but his behavior in this show makes him nearly intolerable.
