The Walking Dead Rankings - Revised


As we all wait for October and the start of season 3 of The Walking Dead, I decided to update my earlier rankings.  I included any positive of negative movement in the list below.

(Graphic novel character development still omitted from these ratings)
  1. Daryl Dixon (-)  Still cool and the most practical member of the group.  Plus, he put Dale down.
     
  2. Glenn (-)  Shortround grows on ya.  Handy.  Honest.  A little goofy.
     
  3. Maggie Greene (+2)  She seems normal.  Kind of makes her unique in the group.
     
  4. Rick Grimes (-1)  Want to give Carl a gun?  Fine. Give him Daryl's gun?? You drop spot.
     
  5. Otis (-1)  Kind of hard to move up being dead the second half of the season.
     
  6. Hershel Greene (+4)  The man has a shotgun with unlimited ammo.
     
  7. Andrea (+8)  She is a mixed bag, but is hanging with Michonne now.
     
  8. Dale Horvath (+1)  Props for suggesting people behave humanely.  Tip: Night cornfield strolls = bad idea.
     
  9. Carol Peletier (-)  At least you support Daryl.
     
  10. Sophia Peletier (+2)  Since you had been bitten by a zombie, I forgive you dragging out the first half of the season.
     
  11. Well walker (-)  Dude, don't go to pieces with your ranking.
     
  12. Shane Walsh (+4)  Our head rubbing whack job had his moments.
     
  13. Merle Dixon (-)  A bad guy, but his bout with the clap proved useful.
     
  14. Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas (-8)  Almost forgot to list him.  There is a reason for that.
     
  15. Carl Grimes (-7)  The kid is an idiot and his parents dress him funny.  AND he stole Daryl's gun.  AND he got Dale killed.
     
  16. Lori Grimes (-2)  Car crashing, Carl losing, manipulative and basically useless hosebag.
