Disliked Dale a lot earlier, but kind of got used to his "other opinions" on things recently. Kind of tolerated him, since it seemed not a lot was going on at times, but he did grate on the nerves.

Killing off Dale when they did makes a lot of sense. He just poured his moral heart out. He was disgusted with the group and himself for not being able to sway them. He walked off alone instead of fighting till the end to sway them. Minutes before his demise the decision was made to hold the prisoner. And with Shane brewing an insurrection, Dale would have been needed even more as his antagonist. The one guy who was always watching Shane is now out of the way and Shane is unchecked to put his plan into motion.

The money thing makes sense. They can't film in cities too much because you would expect to have a denser zombie population. I don't think we've seen a group bigger than 6-7 since the barn opened up. And only a few individuals are done really well, makeupwise.

Funny thing is people who like zombie movies are used to B-movie makeup and wide angle shots that don't focus on them. No reason they can't bring more of them out with less props and shoot farther out. We don't need a closeup of 1000 zombies to convey the idea that the **** has hit the proverbial fan.
