I knew Carl wouldn't kill Shane. Like others have pointed out, their relationship was different in the show than it was in the comics.

No one thinks that this group sitting on the farm for 12 episodes was good or the whole Sophia thing taking forever. That's bad tv, even if they still killed Sophia but in a 2-3 episode arc, it would be solid and more "comic-like". They drag too much on this show. It's boring...

Please, change things but do them for the better. Not for the worse. That's the difference here. Nothing has been for the better, maybe we would be more open to change if it amazed us like the comics originally did.

Ratings say otherwise. But be happy that the new showrunner wants to follow the comics more closely but they may still have characters die at different times.
 
Killing Shane the way they did was right for the story being told. To have Carl take that kill shot..... would it have been nice? Sure. Necessary? Not entirely.

The way the show has painted Shane over the past several episodes, it had to be Rick that takes him out. In the comics, Shane was a guy who couldn't take living in this world and he snapped. In this series, he's very comfortable in this new world, and has pretty much become Rick's nemesis, consistently second guessing everything Rick does, challenging him, undermining him, conspiring against him, planning to murder him. In the comics, Shane pulling his gun seemed very much like a moment of lunacy, as opposed to this series, being a planned assassination. It was Rick's moment.

Kirkman and Darabont said from the start there would be differences. If you don't like them, the comics are still great and you don't have to watch the show. I don't like the comic any less because Shane in the television show was killed by Rick. And I also don't like the show any less because they stayed on the farm for 12 episodes. Would I have wished for them to have left earlier? Sure, but there was likely production costs and logistics and the writers wanting to do more storylines that made the farm the main location this season.

Exactly. The Darabont situation was costly to the season but now that's been settled, this 2nd half is trying to get back to normalcy. I can tell season 3 is going to be far better and greater than season 2.
 
I'm satisfied with the way Shane was killed off. I'm actually really excited for next weeks ep. Look's like they've been saving that 'whole episode of zombie killing' for the finale.
 
I take it The Governor won't show up until next season?
 
**** will hit the fan if they stay true to the comics in that regard.
 
Loved this last episode and a good send off for Shane. I really liked the character but he had completely gone off the loose end.

The imagery of the final moments between Shane and Rick was beautiful with the giant full blue moon in the background and the silhouette shot was perfect. I for one really enjoyed it. Some really good character moments when it comes to Daryl, Shane & Rick.

Daryl's detective/hunter skills were awesome and the season finale looks to be something incredible.
 
So from the 2 pics Kane posted it appears that Rick, Lori, Carl, T-Dog, Carol, Daryl and I think thats Hershel make it til the morning....and maybe the episode.

So Glenn, Andrea, Maggie, Beth, Jimmy and Patricia are the ones who may die that night.....will be bummed if Glenn dies.
 
T-Dog or whatever actually got some lines in this episode which was a shocker. Glenn and Andrea better not die they are to important idc if this is a tv adaption or not.
 
Rick yelling "Why'd you make me do this?!?" was so ****ing intense. Good job Andrew Lincoln
 
I feel like the show got its cake and ate it to lol with Shanes death but great episode.

Uh...no.

And maybe Maggie but I don't think so.
 
but nobody cares about them anyway. They've had like, 4 minutes of screen time combined. Beth wants to die anyway.
 
anyone think besides the whole"they cant have a kid shooting an adult on tv" theory, it could have been they wrote it this way to kind of give carl his redemption since the first walker he didnt kill killed dale, he had his moment to finally kill a walker before it killed another person, especially it being his father?

i think most of the people complaining about shane's death scene are just TOO into the comics and want it word for word on the screen.

First off, anybody who believes the "they can't have a kid shooting an adult on tv" theory is an idiot.

Second, I don't think it had anything to do with redemption. We were hammered this episode by both Shane and Rick telling Carl that it wasn't his fault that Dale died, making a redemption aspect moot. (Even if Rick and Shane were wrong. It's totally Carl's ****ing fault.)
 
I'm going to get backlash for this but I honestly liked this version of Shanes death far, far more than I did the one from the comics.

The entire showdown between Rick & Shane had a ton of gravitas and was heavy in atmospheric mood which the awesome imagery did a nice job of perpetuating. It was an all around awesome scene. Carl's role in killing zombie Shane like Kevin mentioned was a nice way of showing a sense of redemption from what he had caused in regards to Dale (regardless of the BS that both Shane and Rick were feeding Carl, he knew deep down he was responsible). If he would have killed human Shane it would have completely contradict the entire spiel and reasoning of Rick not killing Randall in front of him.

I seriously loved this episode. I still can't get over how beautiful the scenery was for that scene between Shane & Rick. In the comics Shane's death just felt claustrophobic and awkward for me.
 
If they can shoot a little kid on tv they can do the reverse. Not as if the two wouldve been in the same frame.
