Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Good episode but like some it was a little slow at parts for me. Like when Dale went to hide the guns.. What was the point of that?

What I was hoping for was as Shane was trying to pry the door open, dale would of shot him from a distance.

I also thought they were going to keep Sophia alive.

So that Herschel would let them stay on the farm.

Yep. He knew Shane would get the guns and take out the walkers in the barn. Dale was trying to prevent that from happening.

I get that but how stupid would he be trying to hide the guns in the middle of the swamp? What happens if they were to get attacked? Dumb writing Imo.

He could of sat on top of his rv and waited for Shane to come and just point the gun at him there. That whole swamp thing was a waste.

The swamp thing was perfect. Raises the intensity of the scene. Nobody else was around to see anything or even possibly within earshot. Dale's out of his comfort zone (the rv) and Shane's in his element. It was actually a very good writing decision. great choice

He had the opportunity to shoot Shane in the middle of the swamp and couldn't do it. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do that, so he took the route of trying to hide them without anyone knowing.

The barn is secluded from attacks. The only walkers were secured in the barn. The scene made sense to me.

This is the logic that makes no sense to me. If anyone can explain to me what power Herschel has that would force them to leave Im all ears. Rick and Co. have the guns and the numbers but now they are going to negotiate with some old man with zero power in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? They cant sell this "negotiation" unless the viewer actually believes they would be forced to leave, otherwise its pointless and you cant tell me that in the middle of everything that Rick and Co. would leave because Herschel told them to. Rick should have went to Herschel and said, basically, "Look, we're staying here regardless of what you want, you can either live here with us and create a nice co-existing group or you can go for a nice long walk", end of story. This is a zombie apocalypse, you do what you have to in order to survive and backing down from some old guy simply because he tells you to is a joke.

As for the guns, I agree, hiding them in the swamp was pointless. Youve got a barn full of walkers and you decide to hide the guns? LMAO, what happens if the walkers end up finding a weak spot and get out? Everyone runs to the swamp? Hopefully when it comes back in February it comes back with a bang because it limped away.

lmao! This is absolutely hilarious!

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

That was the only way it could have ended last night. Hopefully that settles the "leader" thing for a couple episodes.

In the sense of it all, I think Rick is simply trying to restore a since of humanity. Their world has been torn apart and he doesn't want to continue to cause chaos by torturing the man that saved not only his sons life, but also two members of his pack. It's almost like he owes this man a debt of gratitude. When Shane went on butt last night killing walkers, you saw humanity return to him when Sophia emerged. It's almost as if he had a slim hope that she would be alive.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

As much as I'm enjoying this season I think the first half of it dragged on way too long. Remember when there were actual zombies they had to deal with?

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Great call, I did not see that coming. I think it's really interesting that even after Rick's group found out about the barn, no one from Herschel's group said they found a little girl and that girl might be Sophia. Maybe that plays out when the show starts up again but I was a little disappointed that wasn't addressed.

By the way, it really sucks that the show doesn't pick back up until February though. Why on Earth does it have to delay for so long?

Great first half of the season though, I really love this show.

Herschel said Otis did all the dirty work, so I don't think Herschel knew who was in the barn and who wasn't.

I've been scratching my head about that as well. Rick's group has all the power and could have easily taken the farm if they wanted. I think if push came to shove, they would have. Rick was trying to play it right though, because that's just how Rick is.


I really enjoyed the last 10-15 minutes last night. Shane just went off and I loved it. I also like how the other members of the group were like F it, we are rolling with Shane,, F being nice.

And with Rick calling Sophia, was he the only one to have balls to do it, was everyone just shocked, did Rick kill her because he felt it was his fault?

I'm guessing there is going to be a break in the group now, some people rolling with Shane and some with Rick?

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

For those who watch the previews...

Spoiler

Was that Rick and Shane having a shoot out in the previews for the next half of the season? I think Rick is eventually going to lose it and go off on the deep end and stop being Mr. Nice guy.

I get that.. It was a very intense moment. But during a Zombie apocalypse... if some old man decides he was going to go and hide all our weapons against those said zombies, I'm sure I'm not the only one that would of kicked his arse..

They could of achieved the same moment if he asked Glenn to go run and get him water so he could be alone with the guns and Shane by the RV.

He had the opportunity to shoot Shane in the middle of the swamp and couldn't do it. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do that, so he took the route of trying to hide them without anyone knowing.

The barn is secluded from attacks. The only walkers were secured in the barn. The scene made sense to me.

We all knew Dale wouldn't shoot Shane.. the question was whether Shane would end up killing Dale to build up his bad boy image. But he didn't do that. Which in turn made the scene pointless. All of that could of been doing without the horrible writing of hiding guns somewhere far enough that you can't reach them when they're needed.

You really think that the only walkers are in that barn? That they managed to catch every single one of them that they're safe from those herds of roaming zombies? What if a herd came out of the woods? As in the 2 that they found stuck in the mud, they're not safe from any zombies.
