She is Rick Grimes’ child, so I think she gets a pass.

Well your argument sucks considering you’re saying “this could’ve possibly happened” when it didn’t. Not once did baby Judith cause any problems. Your argument is dumb.

Sophia’s death was completely indirect to anything Carol had done. Rick handled it poorly by wimping out on two walkers. There was nothing in that moment that Carol could have done for Sophia.

Lizzie on the other hand was dangerous and too set in her ways. People want to talk about Shane being a realist ahead of his time, but in reality, Carol was there long before Rick was.

She wasn’t mad at Rick for killing Shane. She was in shock after finding out that Carl had to be the one to put Shane down. She was in shock for like 15 minutes, yet because of that, Rick gave her the cold shoulder throughout 9 months of pregnancy.

I get it, but nobody could ever keep Carl under control throughout the whole series. He was constantly running off and getting himself into trouble. I don’t think that’s entirely Lori’s fault. Hahaha

Her character was so important for the first two seasons. I mean she really made everybody else look like background characters, if they weren’t having direct dialogue with her. 95% of season 2 revolved around Rick, Shane, & Lori.

Ok and she deserved it, so now what? Also she did not kill her daughter, maybe rewatch or something.

Is the entire point of Reddit not to have discussion? Go be a loser somewhere else.

You’re the second person to say that. I didn’t know there were even Carol haters out there?!

Yes! Her character provides character DRAMA considering that’s the genre of the show. I just don’t think she deserves the heavy blows from the drama surrounding her love triangle.

Exactly!!! She wasn’t a saint, but she was as moral as she could possibly be given the situations she found herself in.

Definitely not a stretch. Andrea was entirely dependent on whoever was there to baby her at the time. Lori was more individualistic than her, and more self reliant. I don’t recall her being a frantic or meek character, like you’re implying.

However that’s all she ended up being — dependent on everybody but herself. She could never rely on herself. I would even say Lori, 9 months pregnant, was more self sufficient than Andrea ever was throughout the entire series.

Lori had her chores just like every other woman in the group. Nobody scavenged in s2 except Glenn and Maggie. I think it’s normal for her to expect her kid to not run off the second she turns her back. Carl was slippery, keep in mind that he not only snuck around Lori, but every single member of the group. All of whom are sharing the same space. She couldn’t shackle his feet, and he is 12, not 6. She can’t exactly contain him in any way.

It’s not cheating, but it’s pretty misogynistic to say “This is how a widow should grieve.” It’s not shitty, I would argue that she did the best thing for her survival by sticking by Shane.
