They knew of 6. Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Glen, Maggie and Hershel.

 

It was Hershell - Maggie's father - why would even Glenn go? He HAD to be there to support Maggie and Beth for obvious reasons, also in a situation where Hershell could turn, to me, no-one better than Glenn to kill him off - Maggie would want it to be Glenn the one to do it.

 

1. Rick trusts Glenn to put Hershel down if need be.
2. Glenn needs to be there for Maggie.

 

I personally would want to put down my own family member.

 

Why?... (? Was too short so I had to add the...)

 

I don't know about rabscuttle, but I would as well because I wouldn't want my family member to reanimate like that. In a ZA, reanimating is the worst thing. Who would want their family members to "forever" walk the earth? I wouldn't. Therefore, I would put them down before reanimation occurred. I would want my family to do the same for me.

 

Maggie would only allow Glen to shoot his ,if zombified father.
Glen is the most intelligent of all, a perfect Ninja.No shit of politics, Silent,fast and each slash only for a cause.

So keeping glen was a great idea.

It will not be a great idea, to be assured that we have flaunted our size is big , so the scavengers will not attack us.
The prisoners will be like opportunist, ready to take down weapons and women, if they get a single breath.
Indeed when they realizes the actual size, they will become a greater danger than walkers.

I am happy (relieved) that they cut down the danger to minimum in the 2nd episode itself.
Oscar and alex should be brought under confidence, by using positive reinforcements.

But for better survival, a group size should always not exceeds limits in ZA. Greater the size more powerful has to be a leader and hence dictator which no one likes, then on creating mess.

 

That was a really smart move by Rick, if Tomas knew the little group Rick had and the number of females he had... It'd be a much more situation than a walker attack. I mean seriously, five guys never seen a female for at least a year, and suddenly there are those beautiful women just right there with few men to defend them.

Also loved how Carl pulled his gun when Hershel seemed to turn and attack Lori, good thing he didn't shoot though.

 

I don't believe it had anything to do with the possibility of Herschel turning and was simply Rick instructing Glen on being a supportive partner to Maggie. Glen is young and has admitted to Maggie (and of course, to the audience) that he has never had a girlfriend before. This was Rick helping Glen (in a way that an older brother might) on how to be a good boyfriend. It connects to Rick's strained relationship with Lori. Rick is telling Glen what he (Rick) should really be doing. It has a lot of depth and is a plant/payoff perhaps for later in the season.

 

Yeah I too first thought about Rick's action as only a way to tell Glen to be a supportive boyfriend, and be there for the emotional cause if Hershel died. But haven't you heard him say "Or should I bring in T?", so that means Rick also wanted Glen to be there to handle Hershel if he turned.

 

Because they're my loved one. I don't want a stranger ot even a friend to do it. That would be like a family member needing the plug pulled on thir life support and letting someone else come in and do it. They're MY loved one. Putting them down before they turn would be the last loving act I would ever be able to give them. I'll be damned if I let someone else do it.

 

I was just wondering. I feel the same. What about children though?? I think you mentioned before that you don't have any but for anyone that does or if you care to answer, What would you do if your children turned?

 

I personally would put my own child down. I wouldn't be able to let that responsibility fall to another. I would already feel like a I failed them horribly if they were bit. How could I allow myself to fail them again by allowing them to turn or letting someone else do it. However, I would completely understand if a parent was unable to do it.

 

I'm with you there. Although if both my children were needing to be put down I think my reason to live would be gone right along with them.

 

Opting out isn't in me. Plus my wife wouldn't want that and if I had children I'm sure they wouldn't want me to opt out. I'm a survivor and I'll keep on keeping on until I draw my last breath.
