So...
On the one hand, I think it's probably good that Dale died before the group meets The Governor. You know, if he's into people retaining their humanity and whatnot. I also think it's good that I don't have to watch Dale (Who I adore, BTW) meet the same end he meets in the comics. No, I still haven't bought the compendium, but I did manage to read a few summaries--I HAD to know.

Having said that, this is the third time I've had to watch Jeffery DeMunn get shot in the head (The Mist, and Citizen X). I've also seen him killed by aliens/black oil, and completely dicked around on a couple of TV drama shows. He kicked extreme ass as Andrei Chikatillo in HBO's Citizen X.

I will super, dooper, miss him.
