I know right, people talking and character development? what bullshit, why can't it just be nothing but headshots and people getting eaten alive 3/8/2012 12:17:26 AM |

I think that spending some time on character development is what makes this show still enjoyable after nearly two full seasons. I just think that when that is the only thing for like five straight episodes, it gets tired. I think the best episodes are the ones with equal parts character development, dialogue, etc. and action. This is usually accomplished by following two different scenes, like the show where we had Rick and Shane driving 18 miles out to drop off that kid but they still showed the girl trying to commit suicide at the farm. 3/8/2012 6:59:08 AM |

If its the zombie from no bite thing then I can see him not telling anyone. It is truely a "it is inevitable, we will all become zombies. Humanity will lose" type of deal. 3/8/2012 7:27:59 AM |

my guess is that the little kid shoots Randall because he wanted his dad to and Rick didn't do it and because he doesn't want to make another mistake that costs the group - since that walker was the one he was pestering out in the woods. 3/9/2012 7:14:10 PM |

My guess is that Randall escapes somehow, maybe the stupid shitty kid helps, and he gets the marauders for the next season

My prediction:
Shane is trying to get Rick away from the group so he can kill him and make it look like Randall did it. It will work until Carl or someone else shows up and puts a bullet in Shane's head.
(I hope it goes this way anyway. I've been waiting for Shane to die every since this stupid show started.) 3/11/2012 9:40:43 PM |

Thing about the title of the show. "The Walking Dead." Now remember back to the secret that the CDC guy told Rick in the season finale of season one. You know, the one that was never revealed? 3/11/2012 10:03:47 PM |

^^^^ But if Rick knew that people come back after they die, it seems like he would have stabbed Shane in the head after he offed him.
But who knows how much time he had to think about that before Carol showed up.

Pretty clear to me that he was waiting to verify that theory. As far as I remember this would be the first chance he's gotten to really test to see if what the CDC guy told him was true. Also it's probably not easy to blow a hole in your best friend's head right after you were forced to stab him basically against your will.3/11/2012 11:38:15 PM |

Where the hell did all of those walkers come from at the end of the episode? They have been peacefully kicking it on the farm for weeks with little to no worry of Walkers.
Also, I'm glad to see that Shane is finally gone, good riddance. Hopefully that will open the door to T-Dog getting some more airtime. The finale is going to be pretty crazy, looks like there will be Walkers everywhere. 3/11/2012 11:56:18 PM |

As people here have been mentioning, if you die... you turn --- that's what all signs points to anyhow. They eluded to it when Rick said the cop-zombies they killed when they were letting Randal go didn't have any bites or scratches. Then again with Randal. And obviously with Shane.
How? I'm guessing it's like a dormant virus. Everyone has it, once you die, you turn (unless and until your brain is destroyed i guess).

If everyone turns, that's a profound realization. It means that there are fuctionally 6 billion zombies on the planet. There's no "winning". It's purely survival for survivals sake.
It seems to me that with this realization, if your goal in life isn't to try and find a way to cure the living, you're a waste. You deserve to die. It makes sense that with this knowledge, the CDC guy was doing the right thing by killing everyone. 3/12/2012 2:27:08 AM |

Well they did say last week on Talking Dead (I think that's where I heard it) that 'The Walking Dead' wasn't in reference to the Zombies, but the protagonists. So now knowing that has a whole other level of meaning to it. 3/12/2012 3:08:26 AM |
