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