The Walking Dead (NON SPOILER) Thread

[Mikey]

Hi guys,

Please don't refer to the comics in this thread ... --- Just the TV show ... Thanks

[johnmiic]

So any-hoo, I thought Shane would be kept around until at least middle of next season. The TV show really seems to make good use of him as a foil for Rick and for kicking off many plots and sub-plots. It's the eternal conflict between wanting to do the right thing and what we really do.

[emeraldknight47]

Trust me, Rick will have plenty more foils to deal with...!

Thanks Mikey, i was going to start one of these myself. Shame it was asked repeatedly to not say stuff someone who didn't read the comics didn't know, and was ignored.

I was really surprised Shane died.

Seeing him die proves any of them is fair game next

I'm wondering who's going to take over as the new antagonist

[johnmiic]

Until we get to next season, and any potentially new characters, (there have been press releases in the entertainment news about one in particular), we still have Daryl. I'm sure he has no patience for a goody 2-shoes Sheriff bossing him around. Especially since Rick left his brother behind last season. The fact that they went back for Merle doesn't make me think this makes Daryl so forgiving.

The Merle hallucination could've been used at least one more time to show Daryl is maybe waiting for a chance to do...something. It didn't jibe w/me when he helped saved T-Dog in the season premiere. I suspected he was saving him to kill him for revenge later. Also when he pawned that gun off the corpse while looking for Sophia earlier in the season it crossed my mind he was going to keep it to himself as a back-up, (and then he gives it away, d'oh)! So they are at least keeping us wondering about Daryl.

Not only was I shocked that Rick actually killed shane .... with a shiv it was even creepier that Randal and Shane turned into walkers. Now it really is every man for himself if you don't have to be bit to turn then there is no hope eventually everyone will be one

The season finale will be big I will have a long summer

[johnmiic]

As a revelation to the second season, finding out anyone can become a walker after death raises the stakes considerably, on top of that meeting they had with the guy at the CDC last season.

If Dale had not bought it would people go to bed at night fearing the oldest of the group could pass away and start feasting on them in their sleep? With Herschel being the oldest will they employ that plot-line for him?

The show's title even takes on a new meaning. They are alive but if anyone who dies can start walking around, instead of having to be bit, then they know that they are all destined to become walkers. There's no escaping it unless your friends or loved ones put you down.

Wow, that's a thought I hadn't thinked!

Do they post guards now at night in case Herschel or someone else dies in his sleep? Just imagine him having a heart attack & dieing during the night, then rising & stalking the house in the dark while everyone slumbers!
Do you allow someone into your group with a medical problem, knowing they could die at anytime? If someone gets injured badly, do you leave them or kill them if you think you can't get them to medical care in time? Do they even try anymore- knowing this now, would they have tried to save Randall if he could have bled out on the way home? What if it's you, hurt & lost in the woods- do you wait for help that may not get there in time or do you blow your own head off so you don't zombie out.
Brrrr...!

for what it's worth. three really are no spoilers from the comic at this point, the show has gone in it's own direction with the concept.

in any event, great episode. i for one, was glad to see that piece of **** taken out.

[Megospidey]

Would it not be something if Daryl's brother is the leader of the other group that attacked Rick and Glenn in the bar? You know they are going to bring him back at some point.

[Nostalgiabuff]

i have been waiting for Merle to come back. he will be one mean SOB looking for vengence

[MegoMark71]

It would be a hell of a way to end this season.

[Mikey]

I'm hoping after the season finale they finally leave that farm for good.

I always thought it was very unrealistic in a world over ran by zombies people are happily sleeping in tents.

It's because the farm is secluded Mike. It's more isolated than say the suburbs 2 episodes ago where Dale and Andrea saw dozens upon dozens.
