That was deleted though, so who knows if it's canon.

Fudge it. They ain't gonna use them again. They got eated.

At least the writers don't have to feel pressured about leaving lose ends. The character either returns or we can assume they were killed.

 

[POWdER-man]

Oh yeah, Morales chose to go a different route . I can't believe I forgot about that , lol. I kept thinking they were screwed , but it should be interesting to see some of the original cast return.

I just checked out the facebook game , it's kind of fun . My character looks like Nicolas Cage. t:. It's a strange that we get a group of survivors that are either from the show or made up for the game. I'm guessing Summer and her Mom are expendables.Hopefully Daryl and Michonne join the group at some point

I haven't seen either yet but I am just starting Season 1 but I have seen a few others so far. It's kind of like the other TWD game where some characters come in and out of the story.

My character kind of looks like Colin Farrell when he was Bullseye.

They found their camp overrun in the alternate season 2 opener.

Hmm...really? I'll need to look that up and watch it. Are there any other deleted/alternate scenes worth watching?

Having watched the 8th episode last night, I think that, at least for now, the 2nd season was better. I felt that every episode on that season ended on a great cliffhanger leaving you starving for more. Not the same with the third. I don't feel as much tension as I used to feel with the second season.

Perhaps I'm getting tired of zombies or the show, but that's how I'm feeling so far.

Interesting. While last year had plenty of good cliffhangers, this season overall is better.

 

[CoolCadaver49]

In your opinion.

I actually liked the second season, though I do think the 3rd is slightly better so far. It has had its ups and downs though.

 

[Hotwire]

I have yet to see a bad episode, myself.

I haven't watched them all, but this guy has them uploaded.

Same here. I like every episode I've seen.
Just found myself not enjoying it as much as season 2, even though it dragged with Sophia's rescue.

Shane and Lori started banging after they thought Rick was dead and Shane put his ass on the line to protect her and Carl. The amount of time isn't stated I don't think.

I saw an interview with Andrew Lincoln where he mentions it was only 2 weeks from (I think) his accident or the outbreak until Shane and Lori hooked up.

That would seem about right given that Rick's wound hadn't healed yet.

 

[Midnight Black]

Wow, either Shane has that much game or Lori was that much of a hoe....or both. I don't care if there is an apocalypse and all that crap is going on I'm not hooking up with my best friend's wife and my wife better not hookup with my bestfriend in the span of a few weeks.

Why does it have to be either? She pretty much thought she lost her husband twice-over, she was alone in an earth-shattering situation, probably losing even more people that she loved than we even know about. And throughout all this, a man she's known for years and who loved her husband almost as much as she did is working his as off to protect her and her son, as if they were his own wife and child. He was doing what her husband couldn't, because in her mind, she was never going to see her husband again, so she sought comfort in him.

Believe me, I see the faults in Lori and Shane as much as anybody, but anyone who gets high and mighty about this is full of it. It's a situation none of us will probably ever know. No one knows what the hell they are going to do in that new world, nor do they know who they'll become.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I don't blame Lori for banging Shane. I just blame her for being a ***** about it.

I half agree with you. What I'm saying though is 2 weeks:| ....really 2 weeks? Could her dead husband at least get a month.

You're right though, who knows what we would do in that type of situation. However, why is it that a man can not protect a woman and a child, have love for them, and have her return that affection and appreciation towards the man and not have it become sexual. She could have easily showed her affection just by remaining a friend, but instead it became sexual 2 weeks after all h*ll broke loose.

I'm not really saying they are at fault for what they did, just the time length things occurred and how she acted after she found out her husband was back and things transpired at the farm.

I don't blame Lori for banging Shane. I just blame her for being a ***** about it.

Lol, this.

I completely agree, great post.

Lori isn't a very likable character, but I think a lot of hate directed her way is unfounded (somewhat similar to how the Breaking Bad community hates Skylar, though to a lesser extent).

I don't blame Lori for banging Shane. I just blame her for being a ***** about it.

However, this is my exact attitude about the whole situation as well. It's like she channeled all of her guilt into hatred directed at Shane. Of course, then Shane became a mustache-twirling villain, so...

 

[Jick]

I only discovered about Lori and Skyler's haters when I started looking at the forums for the respective shows. I never hated them.

I was impressed with Anna Gunn's acting and didn't have time to dislike the character. As for Sarah Wayne Callies, I liked her in Prison Break, so that probably helped her case.

 

[CoolCadaver49]

Same here in Skylar's case. I never hated her, and I could understand what drove her to make the decisions that she did. Every actor on that show is brilliant.

With Lori, I pretty much "nothing"ed her. All my fan-hate was directed and Andrea (and later, Michonne). They seriously need to get at least one likeable female character on the show...

Yup, with Skylar you can easily look at her side of what's happening and her reaction is pretty much justified.

 

[Midnight Black]

True for Skylar. Just think Lorie and Shane could have waited a bit.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Yeah, I have to wonder if Rick and Lori were at odds at all before things went to hell. I mean, most of us wouldn't do what Lori did in this situation, but I guess the thought that nothing will be normal again might get her riled up and whatnot. Really, I can only imagine Lori probably slept with him within days of the outbreak. Which really is even worse.

Actually, considering some TWD actors and actresses were involved, this brings up a problem I had in The Mist, but the novel version. Specifically, in the film Thomas Jane's chracter David befriends Laurie Holden's Amanda, but that is what it amounts too, and even at the end when David finds his wife is dead, it only builds to the darker ending. However, in the novel, David and Amanda sneak off to the manager's office and end up having sex, well before David even knows anything about his wife (and, in the novel he never actually finds out if she is alive or dead, and his son was with him in the store when he snuck off). There is no reason for it, in fact David and Amanda don't really interact much according to the novel before this, but because they are in a possibly apocalyptic senario, suddenly their sex is ok, and I don't recall David ever feeling remorse regarding his marriage. Guess its just a common theme in these types of media.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Well, every pre-zombie flashback, aside from Shane trying to save Rick, had Rick or Lori talking to a friend about a fight they had.

 

[Midnight Black]

True, but dang. It seems like sex is a primary necessity/product to apocalyptic chaos lol.
