i was happy when he got his, but now i also miss him, although not as much as i miss dale. when dale died it kinda became the tipping point in my view by removing human logic/compassion, and shifting towards the kill or be killed attitude that rick seems to have fell in line with. what i hope the producers do to do justice to some of the great characters that we lost is do some sort of a prequel/flashback in the next half of the season, kinda like how they showed shane, lorrie, and carl on the freeway, when they met carrol. for example, show what dale was doing when shtf, and how he came to meet up with the group. that would be great for us hardcore fans, and it would also give dale an extra payday as it has got to suck for financial reasons getting killed off early on such a highly rated show.
