"The Walking Dead" developed by Frank Darabont and AMC - Part 3

[conan69]

Last 2 episodes have been very good IMHO.

Some low points, but they're brief.

 

[KenK]

I can't wait for Lori to die. She's as stupid as her ass is boney!!!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

There were a few intense sequences on the latest episode. This and the previous episode have been great, hopefully it's a sign that the future episodes will be this good.

 

[DIRECTOR]

looks like next episode is going to be intense........

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Shane is a selfish prick. You see in the last episode several instances where he is selfish. He lied to Lori to get her back, basically saying **** Rick, Hershel and Glenn.

If you all agree to Shane's decision, he doesn't do it for the group. He does it for himself, Lori, Carl, and the baby. The real reason why Rick is the hero of this story and why I want him to be my leader is that he looks out for the group. He didn't give up on Sophie. The whole reason that the group is on the farm with some kind of the peace is because of Rick. If it was Shane, Shane probably would have killed Hershel and his family to save in the house.

Here is the question that you all should ask yourself. If you were lost in the woods, similar to Sophie, would you want Rick or Shane to be the leader of the group to make decisions?

Wow, 2.09 Triggerfinger was actually a very good episode. The first half was just flawless. I'm glad we have those little character moments -what the show is really about- but man, the idea of living people being as dangerous as the dead, brings a whole different atmosphere and tension. And this last couple of episodes were just great at showing that.

Oh, and I think Herschel is the man. Great actor and great character.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, and that's the whole point of The Walking Dead. Making decisions you never thought you would have to in the normal world. And those decisions are for the people you're surviving with.

I just finished up book 7, and there's a quote that pretty much sums it up perfectly:

"The dead are more controllable than the people."

And when Rick just pulled out the kids leg... damn. I was very happy to see Rick struggling to make decisions in this episode. Whether or not to speak up when those men came to the bar. It's decisions like that, as a leader, are very difficult to make and can have a domino effect. It pretty much sums up why it's so hard being a leader. I'm glad the show is getting to more of these issues. Especially with Rick. Lincoln protrays his pain very well.

 

[DACrowe]

I was so ready to drop this show, but the last two episodes were great. If it can keep it up, the show is going to become very entertaining.

One area the show can improve upon is writing women. Both Lori and the blond woman who likes Shane (her name escapes me) come off as completely unlikable, Lady MacBeth types who keep making bad decisions for the audience to deride.

Still, solid episode.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

To be fair, women do instigate when there's testosterone in the air or power at stake.

When women are in survival mode they're just as bad as Shane if not worse.

 

[chamber-music]

Who said that Shane would have invited them? Shane likely would have killed them instantly. In fact, Shane never would have gone after the old man.

Which is why Shane is an idiot because Herschel's medical skills are actually useful to the group especially when the time comes to deliver Lori's baby.

Shane has proven to be mentally unstable and too hot headed. Rick isn't perfect but Shane is just as likely to get them killed as Rick is.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Shane is becoming almost a classic comic villain in the sense that regardless of the ends, his means don't justify it.

 

[Sawyer]

More. When I think of Shane, I think of Crashdown on Battlestar Galactica. There's going to be a point where he starts putting guns to his own people's heads. You follow his orders, dangerous as they may be, or you die.

 

[Lord]

Wasn't Stephen King going to write an episode of the show?

 

[HighFivingMF]

Wasn't Stephen King going to write an episode of the show?

That left with Darabont.

 

[Lord]

oh

 

[Marvin]

half way into the new eps and I was already reminded of the nothing happens plotting, I knew that all I had to do was wait till the end and they would at least add their little cliff hanger.

Pleasantly surprised however, it seems with FD gone the series will have a little more motion to it. Still all those scenes where nothing happens need to go. Every time Dale and Shane "talk" it's the same as the last and nothing moves forward.

I do think this kid with the leg is going to bring big trouble though. It's gov't et michone time hopefully.

 

[slimshady247]

Killing Otis was the EXACT right thing to do for the survival of the species!

1. Both were going to die, unless one was sacrificed to slow the zombies down.
2. By sacrificing Otis, Shane saved himself and saved Carl...AND brought medicine to the group. You have a young boy and a fit adult who is a trained gunman surviving with one guy being dead, when the only other option was the guy being dead, the trained gunman being dead and the boy being dead.

So yeah...saving lives and bringing medicine to the group helped continue the species better than no medicine and more dead people would.

Seriously, just read what everyone else is saying. Praising Shane, a psychotic, unstable idiot, is very, very moronic.

I like Shane hes my favorite character but hes really starting to get over board like him and Lori being together. Theres a breaking point and hes reaching it.

 

[Lord]

I know in the universe of the show they weren't going to get out in time, but technically they would, i mean, Shane suddenly reached the truck and him reaching there took the exact same time that Shane and Otis were on the ground fighting, they would have reached it in time.

Spoiler

I hope that's the point where Carl kills him

 

[DIRECTOR]

Spoiler

that may not happen, the show is definitely different from the books on certain events

 

[Lord]

But they have spent the entire season extablishing Shane as an as**ole, it seems like that's supposed to lead to that, maybe also another reason for why they didn't leave the farm yet.

 

[Marvin]

If Shane wanted to do the right thing(and not the easy one) he would have sacrificed himself.

Tired of hearing about how much carl needed the meds, that's not the issue. The funny thing is Rick would have at least tried for a third option. Save em all.

 

[chamber-music]

Not too mention the time Shane tried to rape Lori. Shane is far from trustworthy

 

[DyeLorean]

About Shane... for me it's a little weird, because I love him as a character, however some of his choices just aren't very good, or are driven by his impulses. So I really don't want him to go just yet, he's like the closest thing to an internal conflict in the group, and that is so much fun to watch.

 

[Tonicky]

Why does everyone seem to forget this....He lost all sympathy when he did that imo...I mean I was all for him when he beat up Ed but then he pulled that and poof idc about him.
