He had two guns pointed at him and when told to drop his weapon, he stepped forward and said, "Here, take it."<br /><br />That is not surrender. He did not necessarily have to be shot, but it looked like he wanted Carl to reach for the gun to catch him off guard. When told to drop your weapon, you should drop it.<br /><br />I support Carl's decision.<br /><br />Dropping by from A to Z.

I get Carl's point (which was, of course, the Gov's) about kill or be killed, but I don't think his sitch and Rick's back at the bar were the same. The dudes outside the bar were a threat, for sure, but the kid Carl killed was giving himself up. It's not like the kid even twitched funny (as far as I could tell) to indicate he was trying to fake Carl out or anything. Carl seems to be headed down a dark, dark road, but time will tell...<br /><br />Meanwhile, Carol and Daryl held hands for, like, a second!

That means you're doing a fine job :)<br /><br />Dorothy remains a terrible blight in my cinematic education and this terrific piece has re-energized my desire to visit her career. Her contribution to film is extraordinary under any circumstance, regardless of gender, and your insight is a testament to that legacy.

But even with that choice, she was unable to do so for much longer (maybe a year at most). I guess that's how horrible the world is for the survivors. I also felt very bad for Michonne. She really loved Andrea, saw her as a best friend. The emotion in Michonne's eyes and her conviction to stay behind with Andrea really tore my heart out.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-16251278457188329372013-04-01T10:45:52.819-07:002013-04-01T10:45:52.819-07:00I have never heard of Dorothy Arzner umtil today. ...I have never heard of Dorothy Arzner umtil today.
