Not really. Fredo was weak. He only had as much power as Michael allowed him to have. Killing Fredo wasn't about protecting the family. That situation was passed. It was about vengeance.

Agreed. I would have just exiled Fredo to Sicily and he would spend the rest of his days with armed guards watching his every move reporting back to me.

Breaking Bad
This one had a quite a few, but my favorite was Walt watching Jesse's hot arse girlfriend overdose. Pretend that you're you and not a soon to be ruthless drug kingpin. Would you save the girl knowing that, to stay out of prison, you will have to give up all material wealth to her? Or do you do nothing to save a kind of bad person, consumed by addiction, and protect yourself?
Here comes another issue, chick was sexy. If she looks like Mama June it's a hell of a lot easier,..I'd let her die, I just have a thing for Krysten Ritter.

You don't thibk someone could get to Fredo again to at the very least get info on Michael? I'd have doubts he would stay clean. Best to remove him from the equation imo.

The Mist
At the end when the family is sitting in the car. As the father would you have shot your entire family or wait with them until the monsters came?
The Mist
After the father has shot his entire family and the army arrives. Do you kill yourself or live with the fact that you could have waited another 5 minutes and your family would be alive?

I let her die.
"Hot arse"? She looks like a guy in drag.
I wouldve strangled her before she had a chance to die from choking.

The only reason that Fredo was dangerous to Michael in the first place was that Michael trusted him, and he therefore had access to information. It was information that Fredo gave to Michael's enemies. The only reason Fredo really had any influence is because Michael gave him a place in the organization.
Fredo would never be in that position again, living or dead. He lost Michael's trust regardless. Fredo could do nothing to Michael that Michael didn't allow. Again, the only reason that Michael had Fredo killed was vengeance. He couldn't even allow his brother to live in obscurity. The only reason he let Fredo live as long as he did is that he didn't want their mother to know.

McNulty tampering with crime scenes (turning natural deaths into murders) to put more pressure on a legit evil murderer. I would have supported him in this case, but it's a very slippery slope. It certainly couldn't be a widespread practice since it will eventually lead to innocents getting framed by police, but Marlo needed to be in prison.
If you're going to do that, why not just catch him and execute him? I mean, what's the difference? Once you go outside the law, you become a sovereign of one - in for a penny, in for a pound.

I would have let it up to God and the system. Incredibly powerful movie about a man trying to save his sons life when his healthcare options run out.

No way, his kid lived because of what he did. Plus I think his plan all along was to commit suicide and give his kid his heart. You can't blame any father for doing whatever it takes to save his child... great movie though..

Not a huge dilemma, but do you..
-Kill Spacey, thus completing the killer's mission and possibly going to jail for the rest of your life..
-Let the killer live and have the regret of not avenging your wife and unborn child..

Out Cold
As Rick Rambis do you let John Majors build his dream resort and you get promoted to manager of the mountain and get more $ and have hot chicks come in for vacation like Aspen or do you sabotage everything so you and your rif raf buddies can continue to drink and get high all day?
Rick Rambis made the right choice.

What do you do with Fredo?
Eta:
I exile him to Tampa or Sicily
In the books it wasn't an option, Fredo was gay. He would get trashed and have sex with randon men, Tom could only cover it up for so long. It was going to make their family vulnerable.
The Don sent him to Vegas, Mike would sent him to Detroit(?), neither did any good.

I would have turned Morgan Freeman in, especially after I busted my arse, and risked death of my wife and myself to get the girl back to her mother.
MAYBE if Freeman would have let me in on the situation right off the bat, I would've turned a blind eye. But at the point, he had compromised his safety, and his wife's safety, and if he had have ignored it, he would have compromised his honor.
Mcnulty gave too much of a shite in an environment where shits are not given. What he did was just pretty foolish.
