The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Another good episodes. I hate there's only 3 left and then we probably have to wait until October again.

Why did Rick stare at those dead cops after he pulled the guns off of them, because they died from scratches and not bites?

My guess is he saw the 2 cops together, remembered him and Shane were partners and that he should go back and help him out.

I think him staring at the dead cops reminded him of him and Shane before it hit the fan.

Good episode, I think that Shane and Andrea could end up going off on their own. After the season is over I'm going to pick up the graphic novels, try to read them or get through whats most likely to be covered in season 3.

I agree like my wife pointed out at the end of the episode as Shane is staring at that lonesome walker in the fields, he is not wanted.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

I've come to the conclusion that I'd roll with Shane over Rick, I usually agree with the decisions Shane makes, and don't really think anything he's done is worth all the vitriol from the group. Rick is kind of annoying like his wife. That's the great thing about the show, everything is up for interpretation no real good or bad guys in my opinion, I can see everybody's side. The only thing about the story that irks me is how Dale somehow knew that Shane shot the fat guy, I rarely see Dale in the thick of it but he's always got something to say.

Wait.....Shane shot another guy...to leave him for the walkers...and he's not a clear cut "bad guy"?
You want a guy like that watching YOUR back?
Do me a favor...don't take the upcoming FDNY test!!!

I think that is a good point, but I remember where Shane pointed it out before his fight with Rick, how there were not any bites on either of those walkers. Got me thinking that Rick was trying to piece some things together.

LOL, if he didn't do it they'd both be dead and the boy, 3 deaths instead of 1. Remember it's the zombie apocolypse, tough decisions need to be made. He definielty would have had to shoot me in the back, because I would have been bookin'.

I see Shane's 'murder' of Otis as a very tough decision. I would love to play by the Marine Corps' "No man left behind" mantra throughout the struggle to stay alive, but there are just too many shades of gray. Shane would not be in that predicament had Otis not created the problem. Regardless of Otis' goodwill in saving Shane in his time of need, if I'm Shane, and want to live I may be making that tough decision.

Where my problems lies with Shane is his refusal to conform to the group, and his refusal to accept that what was Rick's is still Rick's. I think there should be waaaay more sensitivity to the possibility that child is/could be Shane's. Other than that, Shane needs to adapt to his role within the group, but he wants to be the Alpha-male like it was in the encampment....

But Rick immediately pointed out that the two cops had scratches on them and found both of them right away. I think it was another notch on Rick's belt about schooling Shane.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

As much as I'd like to see Shane get killed off for various reasons, I have a feeling the TV show is completely going to go the route of keeping him alive.

Im the opposite...I want Shane to live. I think he makes the most sense in trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse.

Note to self.
Don't let anyone from the basement or Northern VA in my group during the zombie apocalypse. Untrustworthy.



Oh...not for nothin'....tough decision? Looked pretty cold-blooded and calculated to me!!

To each his own...but Shane is definitely NOT the type of guy I want getting my back.

I think he's going to live for that same reason. Shane is going the Kill Them All route with the Zombies, and Rick is going the sympathy route.

I thought the episode was really good, except for Lori. I really thought she was going to get into a fight with Andrea like Rick did with Shane. So annoying!!!

Anyone know the significance of the walker that was walking in the open field?

Is that a symbol of Shane going the solo route? Or did it look like the Zombie was dying as they were going back home? Maybe the zombies will die off from the Winter Storms?

Shug, I posted something similar a few posts above and what my wife was thinking when she saw him staring at that walker in the fields. He almost feels alone since really only Andrea kind of understands him while the rest of the group is at his throat.

I think it sort of showed "every man (or zombie) is an island" type thing.

I think Shane wants out of the group.

I really wish they'd kill off Lori.

I want Lori to get about 8 months pregnant and a zombie eat the baby out of her stomach.
