A question about Season Three's episode: An Arrow On The Doorpost?
This is the episode where Rick and The Governor get together for a peace-talk.
Anyway, one thing about the episode that I do not understand, from a strategic perspective, is why did Rick bring Hershel with him?
Bringing Daryl makes sense, as Daryl is a capable fighter.
However, at this point, Hershel had already lost his leg!
So, why bring a cripple, to an event that could possibly turn violent?
What are your thoughts?

Maybe because Hershel is wise and diplomatic and could give Rick good advice?
Hershel is like Rick's mentor. Since this was going to be a 'peace-talk', it makes sense to bring him. Although he didn't end up being brought in to talk, the point still stands.
From a story standpoint it allowed each character to meet their 'alter-ego' e.g., Rick/Governor, Daryl/Martinez, Hershel/Milton.
I assumed it was because Hershel is a pretty diplomatic guy.
I thought the Governor would cut off Rick's hand in that episode. XD
