dale's dead??? holy fucking shit... dale is still alive in the comics isn't he???!! totally didn't expect them to change the storyline like that.
In the comic Dale gets accidentally bitten and walks off in the middle of the night to die without causing a fuss. He gets snatched by a group trailing them and taken prisoner. They cut off his other leg to eat it then return him back to the camp. He ain't even mad he laughed at them for eating him since he had been bitten. They return him back to Ricks group to try to scare them further but Rick and his gang end up killing the cannibals and Dale eventually dies from his bite.
NOT A SPOILER SINCE IT CAN'T HAPPEN
The actor who played Dale wanted off of the show after Darabont was fired.
After reading the comic it makes the TV show look like the old dragon ball z episodes where it takes 4-5 episodes for shit to happen.
You guys are in for some good action when they get to the part involving the Governor and Michonne. They already revealed who they cast for the Governor but they have some big shoes to fill for Michonne.
In the comic everyone is hooking up with basically anyone who's single.
My guesses:
Merle will make his reappearance and be the leader or atleast be apart of the group Randall came from. (this group doesn't exist in the comic)
Michonne will be a disappointment since she's a completely action character in a drama written show.
Tdog will get some fucking lines
Moar violence
