I haven’t read the comic, but the show is one hell of a ride. Season 2 like you said started with a Bang and also ended with one. It’s true that in the middle of the season the tension slowed down but I believe it was necessary because it builds this sort of momentum where we the audience are fed information so that when we are presented with an event, such as the death of Shane and dale, we can process it and become emotionally attached. Dale for me was a kindhearted man who saw through the negative intentions of Shane, as well as the unstable decisions of Rick and the others. Yes it is true he became annoying, but the truth of the matter is it was necessary for him to do so. Now that he is dead, this question arises; Who will keep morality within the survivors? Rick? no he has become a dictator. Lori? I doubt it, though now she is showing some opposition towards Rick. What about T-Dog? hah! still the weakest Link.
