The Episode: Judge, Jury, Executioner

How It Happened: While having a frustrated stroll on Hershel's farm, Dale came across a cow that had been eviscerated, taking his attention away long enough for a walker to tackle him and rip his stomach open. The group arrived and dealt with the walker, but it was too late for Dale, and unable to help in any other way, Daryl took it upon himself to execute Dale and end his suffering.

Why It Was Great: For the show's first two seasons, Dale was the heart of Rick's group, and nothing was more depressing at the time than seeing the group have said heart ripped out when Dale was killed, his legacy left to linger over everyone who was there through the seasons that followed.
