That's the problem. He didn't think. He is filling the role of Shane. There needs to be a balance between the two. Think things thru but when it's time for action then act.

I disagree. If I remember right they said drop the gun. The kid started moving forward with the gun still in hand and readily able to fire. I don't think it was a safe situation. I think the point of that scene was that Carl wasn't taking any chances. But I don't think it was cold-blooded. Unless I am misrembering.

That's only a maybe at this point.
I won't go a far in describing it as Herschel did but I do think he acted to quickly. That's my main point. His default is to far towards the act end and Ricks is to far towards think. I like the ying/yang they are becoming.

I agree but I just don't see it like he gunned down some innocent. But it's irrelevant as I'm sure he will at some point.
i think the quality of this half-season went up a touch in the last stretch. enjoyed the finale as it didn't go the way i'd assumed. there were still holes and clunky dialogue and just flat out dumb stuff, but there was also tension and some interesting character development. the carl/rick thing is moving into compelling territory. i liked the governor-going-bat****-crazy thing too. glad that it went out on a good note, with some new questions coming up.
there's a bit of season 4 talk here

This got me curious, so I just went back and reviewed the scene.
The kid did have his hand on the gun, yes. He was holding it in his right hand. His trigger finger WAS within reach of the trigger. But he had it off of he trigger, the gun was pointed up in the air, and he was trying to hand the gun to Carl. His other hand was up in the air on his left in a stance of surrender. It should also be noted that he was covered by both Carl and Herschel, who had loaded, cocked guns pointed at him.
Carl shot him in cold blood.
Yeah i wish he had stayed around. Ricks group needs some muscle. All he has is himself, Daryl and Michonne. Tyrese could have been promising but sissied out. T-Dog, Shane, Oscar, Tyrese, Andrea...all his potential fighters are dying off or had their personalities changed for the show (andrea is awesome in the comics).
That is awesome. I am so ready for Sunday night.
I have liked all three seasons and how the shows atmosphere keeps changing. Season one was all about shock and just basic survival. Season 2 was more about ethics and morals in this new horrible world. Season 3 introduced inter group conflict and politics.
What will season 4 bring...
