The Walking Dead - Dale and his watch (S01E04)

Dale Horvath explains.

[Pandaman]

Simpler times. Simpler people. Simpler memories. Better life lessons. I’ll always love and miss dale.

This scene feels so natural. It doesn't feel scripted at all. Firing Frank was a big mistake, his writing was real. It had heart.

[Hardrive]

The dialogue felt so real in the first season.

[lescapoter]

Still my favorite speech from the walking dead. R.I.P Dale.

[RR-lvtp]

These earlier seasons, are absolute gold. What a great show

[sleep]

The last five episodes of season 5 are titled
-Remember
-Forget
-Spend
-Try
-Conquer
Dale’s speech foreshadows these episodes: “Not so that you REMEMBER time but so that you may FORGET it… and not SPEND all your breath TRYing to CONQUER it”

[dustyomeara]

Just started watching the series again. Dale was a king

[benjijacobs]

This was kind of foreshadowing unintentionally or intentionally the scenes between Glenn and Hershel

[BlueBeardW]

"I give it to you, Not that you may remember time, But you may forget it, And not spend most of your breath trying to conquer it"

[popepnw]

The end of the speech correlates to the last 5 episode names of season 5, Remember Forget Spend Try Conquer

[ThePatriarchXCI]

Holyshit.... the dialogue compared to the later seasons. I would've been still watching this show if they at least tried

[zephyr]

It’s scenes like this that made me fall in love with this show. There is just something about scenes like this. They’re not killing walkers or fighting other people, of course that great as well however in scenes like this they are just in the moment with each other having deep conversation, non of these people would have really even given each other a second thought before the fall, now they’re family and would do anything for each other, that’s something that makes Rick’s group so powerful and why they will always prevail. So powerful for some reasons.

Frank Darabont did a great job in season 1... Shame he didn't stay

[example]

He really can tell a story, I would just love to listen to him read passages from his favourite books

[mannyoommen]

Dale is the type of guy to make any sad moment a happy moment, A moment to love and remember, we love you Dale and we wish you were still here❤️❤️❤️

[CP]

1:21 Remember
1:22 Forget
1:29 Spend
1:31 Try
1:31 Conquer

what’s even cooler to think about is that season 5 episode 12-16 are all named based on this speech.

“I give it to you, not that you may *Remember* (5x12) time, but that you may *Forget* (5x13) it. For a moment now and then, and not *Spend* (5x14) all of your breath *Trying* (5x15) to *Conquer* (5x16) it.

[mannyoommen]

Dale’s story reminds me of when Herschel gave Glenn his pocket watch back in season 2.

[mcsquilliam]

Dale was the best character. Smart, rational, roof camper. His death was the end of the show for me

[mr.ryceguy]

It would have been cool if they had his watch still, sometime in the later seasons. I feel like Dale and Herschel were the men that Rick kept in mind once he realized he was turning rabid. Those 2 kept him on an even keel by being the rational/moral members of the group
