75. Its not that Rick has killed anyone in cold blood that bothers me

Tue Nov 5, 2013, 11:08 PM

Nov 2013

and its debatable if he has killed in coldblood, what gets me is that he has killed people by the choices he has made. Him leaving Sophia by the creek killed her, him taking Carl on the search killed Otis, his decision to NOT take out those prisoners in season 3 killed Lori and T-Dog, and fucked his son Carl in the head(by shooting/killing his own mother). Basically, what my point is, is that Rick has fucked up a good number of times, but he gets a pass, and he gives ultimatums to Carol, its a joke.

Rick doesn't have much ground to be "moral" he spent most of season 3 mindfucking himself, and now in season 4 he chooses to be a farmer, and then gets upset when one of the council members makes a decision. Those people were sick, the kid died the day before and fucked a whole cell block, what Carol(or whoever did it) did I don't' hold much judgement, in a fucked up world you have to make fucked up judgements.

Its not that Rick has killed anyone in cold blood that bothers me Broken_Hero Nov 2013 #75

A lot of that is the risk a leader in a survival/combat situation takes krispos42 Nov 2013 #76

I agree with you, on all your points except one Broken_Hero Nov 2013 #77

Carol is part of a council krispos42 Nov 2013 #79
