Seriously though...there was no tactical or logical justification for Andrea pulling the trigger. Sure, keep him in your sights, provide overwatch...great. But shooting the "walker" when you've got three very capable combatants closing on "it" is ridiculous. I think that Dale's "Don't be too hard on yourself" talk is bloody stupid. Even if it had been a walker, shooting it would have been the wrong decision.

I agree on both regards. Daryle has really evolved over the past two episodes, I initially pegged him as an abusive and selfish guy (like Merle) but when you consider the stories he told about him as child combined w/his dedication to finding Sophia, Daryle is a victim of his upbringing and finding Sophia is a way for him to come to terms w/his own past.

In Andrea's case, I think she was just trying to make a strong, independent decision and show "the boys" that she is not a weak dependent like the other women of the group have been so far
