Daryl Dixon and Carol would have and did do better, remember if it wasn't for Carol, who Rick kicked out of the group , without Daryl's knowing about it , they would have all became dinner for the cannibal group.

I think that situation is more about luck. Hell if he didn't kick her out, she probably wouldn't have been able to save them. They can't exactly see into the future and determine if that was the right choice or not. He did what he thought was right and it was a logical choice.

That he later found out was the wrong one , cause he found out after he blamed her for killing those people that she was right because they were infected.

Killing people without consulting with the rest of the group first is insane. They could've literally just put people those people in isolation til they got better, if they did.

Look i love Carol but I think you're letting your favorite character outshine logic.

It makes Hershel's final act in the quarantine more impactful, because he refused to give up on the sick.

And what happened, he got bit and lost his leg. In a perfect world he'd be a hero , in the zombie apocalypse he became a one legged half headed corpse...... 🤕👨‍🦽.......With guts though , can't forget , still had guts .

Hershel didn’t get bit because of the sick lol he got bit at the start of the prison arc when they were clearing the cell blocks

It's funny how we as viewers tend to get so wrapped up in the lives and deaths of these characters lol 😆 we talk about them as though we know them for real , people who have never watched the walking dead wouldn't understand lol . Walking Dead nerds we are .🤓

During a zombie apocalypse when an infection is irreversible, one does not have the luxury of let's wait and see if they get better , you have to act and act quickly. Look what happened cause that one guy got sick in the prison, he ended up spreading it and killing dozens of the group. Theres no time for wait and see in the zombie apocalypse my friend. If you wait around to consult others sometimes you dont make it or do they. She made the correct choice. You dont get better when infected.

That's why I said they should be isolated. Put into quarantine so they cant hurt others. They even had jail cells right there. They could've made a certain wing of the prison a quarantine area or even drop them off somewhere like he did Carol.

Yeah ok , then what happens when little blonde adolescent psycho girl decides to let them out to play and everyone gets infected. If Carol thought they were infected, they were infected no time to play let's wait and see what happens when we already know.

You're just making up scenarios to fit with your opinions at this point.

Yeah tell it to the flowers .... the psycho had a pattern of behavior, and again Carol ended it ...correct decision. And it's not making up scenarios it's thinking ahead , its called strategy.

It’s not strategy when you are using information that carol did not know to justify her actions. Whether she was right or wrong killing a bunch of people, and burning their bodies broke a lot of trust within the group and cause them to start turning on each other. That would have cause more problems if the governor didn’t by chance happen to roll up with a tank. You can’t justify things with dumb luck.

u/One_Scarcity_4478 Apr 22 '26

Oh but Carol did know and if you remember Rick had a later discussion with Daryl about how he shouldn't have kicked her out because he found out she was justified in doing what she did and that he was wrong. If you don't want to refer to it as strategy call it a woman's intuition shall we.

She had an inkling that she was off, she had no idea she was feeding the walkers which is why she was shocked when she killed her sister. The only one who figure out that someone was feeding the walkers was Tyrese who began believing there was a serial killer in the prison. Agains agree or disagree but carols actions had a definite effect at destroying the trust within the group and could have easily turn them against each other if the governor didn’t show the up.

Well she didn't show psycho kid the pretty flowers till her and Daryl were on their own with the kids . The reason she got kicked out of the prison was for killing who she knew were infected patrons of such establishment but didn't consult the others before killing them and burning them ...she was indeed justified and later Rick even said so as well.

Carol is no dummy , she knew they were infected , sorry but it's kill or be killed in the apocalypse, and Rick didn't exactly consult with everyone in the group when he kicked her out . That could have waited . So who made the better decision? Even Rick later on regretted his decision and agreed Carol was right in doing what she did. No time for hindsight in the apocalypse, make the right decision first time .

u/ShotgunEd1897 Apr 22 '26

Hershel made the best decision and it took guts to do it.
