Because he just tried to kill me 5 seconds ago. It's not just some random guy.

Cracker remind me never to go on a medical supply run with you lol.

In the grim darkness of the 2nd Millennium, there are no innocents.

Innocent kid just tried to kill you. Really?

Also, anybody else think that kid is going to be a huge liability if they do not kill him? He seems very dumb and a little over the top about everything.

innocent kid like that

Someone purposefully puts lead in my direction, they don't get to make claims of innocence anymore.

Someone gets to be zombie bait while while I scavenge ammo though!

Ok, innocent wa maybe the wrong word but it was understandable what he was doing. He was going with the group just as Rick's group were doing by returning fire.

What I mean is. in this episode he clearly presents no threat to the group. I find the idea that he would side with a bunch of guys who basically left him for dead over rick's group who saved him a bit stupid. So by killing him you're taking the life of someone who doesn't deserve it needlessly.

He's an extra man to add to the group. With more balls than glenn.

in this episode he clearly presents no threat to the group.

Left for the zombies, he won't be presenting a threat to the group in the NEXT episode either.

This particular group of <CENSORED>s needs less problems a whole lot more than it needs EITHER another body or more testosterone.

Most of that could be solved by shooting shane and andrea. Seems like a better idea to me.

What do you have against Glenn? He's easily among the most level headed, dependable, and survivable of the group.

I don't disagree. Go back a few pages and you'll find that I think most of the group is at best dead weight. However, shooting those two doesn't preclude shooting the dude that was shooting at you previously as well.

"Everyone else was doing it!" is not an excuse when bullets are flying. That would be a line that you do not easily step back from, and might just get you killed for crossing in the first place. As much as I dislike Shane, I am with him on this one. For the same reasons as I would have him thrown to the zombies.

I know. He's got more balls than Glenn cuz he fell of a roof and got impaled on a fence?

No because he took part in the shootout instead of freezing.

...and I have nothing against glenn. He is a likeable character. But he's clearly not the best guy in a tense situation.

Honestly, freeze or not, Glenn and his little shotgun isn't going to do a whole lot against a guy with what appeared to be a rifle across the block. Be a good way to get himself killed trying though.

Unlike every other characters major screwup HIS has managed to not get himself or anyone else hurt or killed, or even lost the group anything particularly valuable like...oh...a horse or vehicle.

I'm still going to say this new guy has more balls than glenn.

I don't disagree on that. But more balls ain't always better...it frequently isn't!

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Glenn still has a use in his ferret like resource run skills. But outside of Rick, Shane and Daryl another zombie fighter wouldn't be a bad idea IMO.

or a little girl...

Another zombie fighter? The dudes resume is as follows:

I tried to kill you.
I failed.
I also absorbed some of your medical supplies.
I will quite likely also cause YET MORE womandrama when I join with your group, even if I am in fact telling the truth about having no active interest in stabbing you in the back (Or face.)

Not only are you dangerous, but incompetent. Application denied, receive bullet or distribution to zombies immediately. Next applicant?

I don't think his resume would leave out the part where he managed to stay calm while tied by his hands and feet as a walker approached him, enough to cut himself free and then kill said walker. Other members of the group would have failed in the same situation.

Other members of the group would have failed in the same situation.

Most of the group would have failed this. Most of the group also needs to be fired into the sun.

That the group is already chiefly made up of halfwits doesn't mean one should be enthusiastic about taking on more.

He's clearly not more of the same though, as that example points out.

NO. THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH BRAINS IN THEIR HEADS. Seriously Rick is an idiot. I know he's the protagonist and all, but so far he's led them into trap after trap. If I were Daryl/Shane/Andrea I'd be "feth this guy. He's done nothing but almost kill us all with his dogooderism."

RIck you are...THE WEAKEST LINK!

Except he's saved Rick, and volunteered for every hazardous/stupid idea so far. he's not smart but he's a survivor and a team player. In terms of survivability I'd pick (in order):
Daryl
Glenn
Shane

OK I didn't see Sunday's episode yet so this may have changed but:

At least Glenn wouldn't fall off a roof and impale himself on a fence. Glenn was thrown down a well and somehow all that happened was he lassoed the world's fattest zombie.

What all is Rick doing in the show? Because he is one of the best in the books.

Could he be a lead in to the jail sequence or who was it, the governor?

Unfortunately, and it hurts me to say this: Frazzled is almost right. The show is not as well written. I believe they intend for Rick to be cool and shane to be crazy but mostly Rick seems like an idiot a lot of the time.

I read recently that they have found an actor to play the governor, so I believe this could be possible.

Innocent kid? Did you forget the part where the "innocent kid" was firing on them before he get himself stuck to a fence?

Just make sure I like you in person. Then again, even in that moment, Id rather be alive and have to remember shooting you, then being torn apart knowing youll be banging my wife. So yea, dont go on supply runs with me

New kid has more balls then Glenn, but I bet Glenn lives longer.

The the hell? Actually thought this was going to be a pretty good episode but the ending just came out of no where. They've gone so far from the comic now I don't think I even want to watch it anymore.
