I think it would have been better writing for Randall to escape and Kill Dale, S2. I know the actor wanted out. Rather than Dale get bit and die by a walker, which was such a lame death for a great character. I think season 2 really peaked at the end when they were all together debating on what should be done with Randall, hence the episode’s title “judge, jury, and executioner”. Dale’s ways were noble not wanting to kill a man based on speculation and the unknown of what he would do if the group freed him, but Dale dying by Randall’s hand would show how Dale’s utilitarian view of punishment is not meant for the post apocalyptic world if you want to survive and take care of your own.
