[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6212857, member: 85555"] sure, in those cases it ultimately did, and i think that the moral compass of the show is reflected in these outcomes...but its also true that it proved effective in a number of instances. Shane killed otis and saved Carl as a result (and it is likely he wouldn't have had they both tried to escape together). The governor managed to keep Woodbury running well and protected until he went completely off the deep end and massacred his own people. I am not endorsing behaving like a psychopath, but the show seems to be trying to demonstrate that the right thing to do is a lot harder in this post apocalyptic world, is often dangerous and that the new society and reality reward what was once criminal behavior in some respcts. To me that is interesting. It is a little more complex than you often get in americanc tv shows, but it isn't amoral or a total endorsement of the Shane/Carol path. The right thing to do, and trying to keep your humanity can well cost you your lives at times, but surviving doesnt seem worth it if you lose that. I am just really enjoying how they give the characters room to consciously make moral decisions, but the world they inhabit is very morally gray (which is it was all the more impressive when herschel went intofcell block A to help the sick-----because everyone else was perfectly content not to help them an keep risks to themselves as low as possible, which isn't that unreasonable. that is why, to me, even though this episode was much less exciting than last week's, in a lot of ways it was more compelling viewing.
