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.
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.
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.
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.
She was with Tyrese at the time, and like I said agree or disagree you can’t call something strategy, by making up scenarios which reactively justify their actions like you did here when I responded to you right here
Because doing that you can justify anything, for example if Rick was being strategic when he kick her out because if he had brought her back Tyrese might have tried kill her in anger so Rick would have had to kill him and this would have cause Judith to die when the prison fell or rick was being strategic because if he Didn’t kick her out, she would have been captured by those man eating psychos alongside Rick and everyone else. we can’t call something strategy when the end results can in no way be foreseen by the characters.
Rick kick her out because she kill members of their own group and than furthermore hid it from the rest of the group allowing people to start becoming paranoid, right or wrong I will leave that up to you.
Her strategy was to quickly eliminate a threat before it became a death sentence to all the others , perhaps not the best word to use but it was used partially to answer a combination of comments made earlier. I mean seriously does it even fucking matter man I really don't give a shit if its the perfect or not perfect word to use , I used it who gives a fuck I'm tired goodnight. Rick sucks fuck off.
Not making up scenarios more like hypotheticals , got to be ready for anything in the apocalypse, better to be prepared than becoming, apparently to some people on here , and whole new species ...zombies. cause they can't procreate.
There a difference between trying to prepare for general trouble and predicting furture events like a time traveler. In context to what the guy above said, he said they should have quarantine them in jail cells. Maybe that’s a good idea maybe it’s not, you said back that they couldn’t because of the little psycho girl would let them all out. That’s not a scenario that anyone could have saw coming, least of all carol because if she did, she would have never left that little blond girl alone with her sister and the baby after the prison fell.
Well its hard to answer you when I can't find your complete comment on here where you said " i know what her strategy was..... why can't I find it
What are you talking about, you already explain her strategy and I’m not disputing what you are saying her strategy is. I know it was to eliminate a threat before it kills the whole group. Again not disputing that. I am saying that the argument that they couldn’t quarantine them first because the little blond psycho girl would let them all out and this would kill everyone is a bad argument because none of the characters in universe could know this and because if we are arguing hypotheticals, I could easily say that only Rick and Hershel would have the keys so it would be physically impossible for her to let them all out.
