Why would they kill of Dale. He was the best character on this show. Watching the waking dead is our weekend wind down. Anybody agree with me?

Nope, he was a 99%r.

A 99%er? While I understand what that means I don't get how Dale is one. Considering until the end he was the only one against killing that kid.

I feel the opposite, Dale was a bleeding heart liberal and I was getting sick of his constant whining. He was always trying to control the guns and how the others should feel.

AdamsRT, that was a surprise but this series has broken away from the comics so much that anything can happen. Tough to believe the old guy survived the Walker attack on the camp at the quarry during the first season. Dale made the statement the group is broken and it appears that Rick is going to use it as a motivation going forward with the group to prove him wrong.

I wonder how his death effects Andrea considering he brought up that she used to be a civil rights lawyer while they were deciding that other guy's fate.

Also, they made Carl a real brat, huh? Dale's blood is on his little hands for going messing around with that walker.

But the worse death of all time on the show so far...was Glenn's Challenger.

Ha! I was excited when I first heard that car roaring through the streets! Sucks they didn't put better wheels on it but those were off soon enough anyways! Yea dale did whine about the guns but the guns got Norman reedis shot (by the civil rights lawyer) the brat taking the gun got dale ripped open. I still like this show no matter what they do!

Read the Graphic Novels, it's a different flavor but you'll like that as well. Remember when Rick cut his hand and then smeared it on the gate? He did it to draw in the Walker before stabbing him on the head.

Then they implied it was Shane's turn on the next Walker and that he did likewise. When trapped in the bus, Shane did the smear trick on the door jamb (sp?) of the bus by cutting his own hand with his knife. Did he use the same knife to cut himself that he used on the other Walker? Because if so...

Yea my wife saw that but I figured after nothing happened it was ok. I like when he lost the knife in the one walkers head! Good stuff!

LMAO! It says spoiler alert! That's on you Luke!

Unless you thought someone wanted to order a spoiler...well that would be awesome.

I agree I loved the Dale Character, kept them from becoming cavemen to a degree, but that last episode he really needed to STFU! that kid was on a roof top ready to Snipe Hershal/Rick when in the bar. If they took him in fine patch his ass up send him on his way. Id drive at least 50 to 60 miles away drop him off then his rifle 50 feet away from him where he could see it and drive the F**k off. Now granted there is still a chance he may find his group..or not but there qould be a constant worry about those guys finding their group. But Me I would of killed him...sorry when he was talking about those girl his friends RAPED and had the Dad watch, NOT COOL!

I didnt do nothng i swear...YEAH RIGHT, you were there and you said nothing coward! Guilty by association!

They are living with the constant threat of death. They have to fight to survive and they cant do that if every person they run into treat them as of they were a long lost brother.

Those guys were asking for it when that Fat guy said lets just kill these f**kers. Red flag went up for rick. The way people act talk stand says alot about their intentions. Theirs were clear from the minute they found out about the farm they were pushing to go there.

I also think Shane will die in the next or last episode. Apparently he signed another contract with another mini series and hasn't resigned a contract with walking dead, so at some point he has to be killed off, and soon

I don't care for Andrea either, and if Shane leaves she will either become a more silent character or try to show her manliness more, lol and sway the group to shanes ways

T-Dog has been quiet, with like one line per episode, but rumor has it his day is coming to be a more profound character

Man I feel like a nerd, but I am hooked on this show. I read a couple reviews post episode and then ponder until the next week lolz

Why would they kill of Dale. He was the best character on this show.

Glad to see him go. He didn't like Glenn's Challenger- preferred a Prius. :no:

As a side note, why did the group urge Hershel to save him? Didn't they learn anything from dealing with these creatures? Dale would have eventually died and become a walker since he was infected by the bite.

Great show.

I didn't think dale was bit. It looked like the walker ripped his stomach open. I think they tried to save him just out of shock and awe to what was happening..... I agree it's a great show!

Yeah he wasn't bit he was ripped open.

And did you notice in the scene prior to that, Daryl was sharpening his knife near the barn? Kinda makes you wonder if he was going to kill Randall while no one was around; he would then and sort of now is the guy who does the things no one else wants to do (i.e. shoot Dale in the head)

Great show! Not sad to see Dale go. Did anyone else notice how they focused in on the pile of burned Walkers at the place where they were going to dump that kid? Then this past episode, they focused in on the pile of burned Walkers from the barn...

I did notice that, it's almost like they are comparing the living vs the dead. In other words, when the living sees the dead pile they realize they were walkers they killed not the living.

Glen HAS to hook more often with Hershel's daughter, lol.

Andrea's character was better (so far) in the graphic novel. She actually hooks up with Dale and getting them together took some creativity because of the age gap. And Andrea is more badass. And wait until...never mind. I'm getting ahead of the show...or maybe not! lol

eh he died in the graphic novel too...course in the comic he went off in the middle of the night to die alone cause he got bit by a walker, but then got captured and eaten by cannibalistic survivors.

I'm a huge fan of the show, and been a big comic book reader for years. However, I never read The Walking Dead until now. My comic dealer said the book would make me hate the show and I already know the differences. The fact that Shane is alive and Sofia is dead on the show already sends the 2 stories into two completely different directions.

Supposedly killing off Dale was so they could develop Andrea's character more like the comic book. We'll see....

yeah the two series bare little in common other than the character names and of course there are zombies in both.
after little Carl blew away Shane early in the comic series I knew the two series would not have much in common.

I don't want to read them because I like show so much I don't want to have hints to what could happen. I don't know how long shows gonna last (how long does a zombie show have new material((guess creative writing will work)) so when it ends I will check them out!

So I have some questions with this episode. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen stop reading now. I get Shane can't cope with the way life is and that he's not a good guy but why would he waste his time leading the boy out to kill him when e could have just done it covered it up and said he saw him escape and was chasing him. Why did he waste time trying to make that kid feel better. My wife suggested it was because the kid admitted to running with that crowd of rough guys. I have to admit I didn't see that part coming. How did the boy become a walker? I know some of the rent a cops didn't have bite marks.... Is this leading to when you do of any cause you become one? Thank god he got Shane! Rick didn't have any other choice. Seeing all those zombies here after the shot it looks like the last episode will be more walkers less emotional crap. For 100 reasons ok glad Shane character is gone.


Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app

ok so how did the kid and shane become walkers did they get bit behind the tree or something???

All of this is conjecture of course but it could be that they are leading us to believe that ALL of humanity is infected. That when you die, you become a Walker as long as your cause of death is not head trauma (or broken neck).

This could be what the guy at the CDC whispered into Rick's ear. Rick knowing this truth bears a very heavy burden. If the others find out all hope would be lost. Why have babies?

Now go back and see some of the things Rick has done. First he wants to hang the kid but then decides it should be a bullet to the head (no guarantee hanging will snap the neck). When Shane points out the two security guards don't have "bite" wounds Rick jumps in and offers scratches as the reason. At the bar he makes sure that Fatty from Brooklyn and the guy behind the bar are dead-dead by pumping extra rounds into their heads when Doc could have checked to make sure they were dead. Fatty got extra rounds to make sure.

Going to have to watch previous episodes to scrutinize Rick's behavior more.

You make several good points. But I was just thinking if Rick did know..... Why didn't he hit or shoot Shane in the head?


Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app

In the comic series you don't have to become bitten to turn any longer (it's airborne).
There is speculation that this is what the CDC scientist whispered to Rick at the end of season one...the cause of the infection is now airborne.

How did Randall turn into a walker? Didn't they say that his neck was snapped (by Shane)?

read previous posts, infection could be airborne....

How did Randall turn into a walker? Didn't they say that his neck was snapped (by Shane)?

That's what I thought. I know daryl saw the blood on the tree and the tracking pattern suggested Shane did what he did...... I don't think the neck snapping thing is related otherwise Randall would of not been "walkified" I also don't think Rick knows every1 dies after being infected because after he killed Shane in sure he would have took care of that. So many open questions. I'm curious to what end Shane did what he did..... Was it just because Shane wanted to get Rick alone? Was that because Laurie told him all that stuff by the windmill?

I think they're just setting up the season finale to introduce new characters. When the farm is overrun, Michonne will walk in with her Katana and two 'pet' walkers and kick butt. Probably an outro with them meeting the group Randall was referring to 5 miles down the road led by ' The Governor '. If y'all thought Shane was bad...

Read what the writers have to say:

"This Just In: The Walking Dead (http://www.tvline.com/tag/the-walking-dead/) is not fooling around anymore. One week after viewers watched in horror as Dale literally had his guts ripped out, AMC’s mega-hit went a step further in its penultimate Season 2 episode and whacked another, far more pivotal character: Shane!
Sure, the warning signs were there — on screen and off. For starters, Shane had become increasingly unhinged as Season 2 wore on, making Sunday’s deadly confrontation with frenemy Rick all the more inevitable. Also, as fans of the Walking Dead comic know full well, the TV character actually survived longer than his literary counterpart. Oh, and as you may’ve heard, Shane’s portrayer, Jon Bernthal, recently landed a starring role in former Dead exec producer Frank Darabont’s TNT pilot L.A. Noir.
Yet, the death of Shane — who, for all intents and purposes, was the show’s co-lead — nonetheless packed a punch, mostly because it sends a loud and clear message that absolutely no one (save for Rick) is safe. And if the episode itself didn’t adequately relay that, our post mortem with Robert Kirkman should. Read on as Dead‘s main creative force reveals why Shane had to die, how Bernthal reacted (read: he wasn’t pleased), whether Jenner’s secret message to Rick has already been revealed, and when the next major death will come (hint: very soon).

TVLINE | How long did you know that you were going to kill Shane off this early on in the series?
Before the first episode of Season 1 was shot. [Laughs] Frank always talked about how, if the first season had been 13 episodes, we would’ve went ahead and told the entire Shane story and killed him off at the end of the season, which was pretty much what we did in the comics. But because that was a six-episode season instead of a normal-sized season, we decided to hold it for Season 2.

TVLINE | Did you ever consider not following the comics and letting him survive – if not through the entire run of the series then maybe just another season or two? The Rick-Shane dynamic was such a major part of the show.
There was a lot of back-and-forth when we were mapping out the second season. I’ll admit even I — who killed him in the comic — was saying there were a lot of interesting things that could come out of keeping him in the show. We had a lot of fun [writing for the character] in the second season because there were a lot of things that changed from the comic. Having him exist on Hershel’s Farm brought out new stories and made us do some cool new things that were different from the comic. And I’m always for that kind of stuff because I like to keep things interesting. But at the end of the day, what we kept coming back to is that The Walking Dead is much more about Rick and his journey than it is about Shane and his journey. And keeping Shane around was, in a sense, stealing from Rick. It was time to let Rick emerge and see how Shane’s death affected him and how it informed his decisions. And I think that when people see the last episode of this season — and Season 3 — and where Rick goes because of this, they’ll see that this is all part of the larger plan. [His death] is definitely an important moment. And it really sucked to lose Jon Bernthal, but it’s going to make the show that much better and that much more deadly. Having lost Dale and Shane, now you really get the sense that any of these characters could go at any moment. And we’re definitely going to be continuing that in Season 3. This finally tells people, “This is what The Walking Dead is. This is what you can expect.”

TVLINE | How far in advance did Jon know that this was going to be his final episode?
He always knew he was going to die, but there was a question of exactly which episode it was going to be. That moved around quite a bit. It wasn’t until we were actually breaking the last half of Season 2 that we nailed it down to a specific episode.

TVLINE | How did he react?
Honestly, he was bummed. The actors have become a family, and they really love working together. They’re kind of isolated in Georgia where they shoot; they spend a lot of time together when they’re not filming. But every actor knows that on this show… I think Sarah Wayne Callies has been quoted as saying that she knows it’s not a matter of if she’s going to die but when; that’s what the show is. But it’s still very sad when actors have their last day on set. Jon was definitely upset. But he understood. He knew why we were doing it and what was going on. He was accepting of it.

TVLINE | Was he satisfied creatively with Shane’s final arc?
Absolutely. All of the actors are really great collaborators and have good ideas, and when Jon read the death scene he definitely had some questions and some suggestions. And he worked a lot with [the episode's writers] Glen Mazzara and Evan Reilly to try and beef it up. He had some little notes and they came to an understanding and really convinced Jon that this is what the scene needs to be. There was a lot of back-and-forth, and in the end Jon really loved the scene.

TVLINE | What was your reaction when news leaked that Jon had been cast in L.A. Noir?
It was an unfortunate mishap [that resulted from AMC] moving the last half of the season until February instead of just running it straight through. If we had aired it all in succession and ended in December it wouldn’t have been a problem. But by holding back the season, [the news] did kind of spoil things. It was a bummer that it spoiled the show to a certain extent, but I was happy for Jon. I think it’s exciting for him to be working for Frank again and I’m really looking forward to seeing that show. And it’s cool to know that Jon is constantly working. The tough thing for me is that when I kill a character in a comic book I am making the artist, Charlie Adlard, draw a different arrangement of lines from now on. Killing a character doesn’t really affect anybody but the readers. But when you kill a character on a TV show you are, in a sense, firing an actor. And the thing that upsets me about that is it’s always about the story; it’s never about the actor’s performance. And I’m a blue-collar guy, so if you fire somebody you need to have a reason. So it’s really upsetting to me every time we have to kill a character. So to know that Jon has another job makes me happy. Because I feel guilty about the whole firing thing.

TVLINE | Shane turning into a zombie in the end pretty much confirms that everyone’s already infected. Can you confirm that that’s what Jenner whispered in Rick’s ear?
[Hesitates] Well, I can’t confirm that. But what I can say is that Shane turning after being stabbed definitely does inform Rick revealing what Jenner whispered, in the next episode.

TVLINE | So we’ll finally find out what he whispered in next week’s finale?
Yes.

TVLINE | Does Rick debate sharing this newfound intel with the others, or does the approaching zombie stampede delay that?
Yeah, there’s sh-t ton of zombies on the way to the farm, so he’s not going to have a lot of time for that.

TVLINE | This does raise the question about the dead bodies in the season-opening traffic jam — why hadn’t they all been turned?
I think if you go back and watch that [sequence you'll see] we were very careful to have them be in cars that were in accidents, so the brain would’ve had trauma. Or they had some kind of wounds somewhere on their heads to show that their brains had been killed, like somebody came across and killed them. We knew that we were building to this throughout the entire season.

TVLINE | I know you can’t name names, but have you quietly made any decisions to spare someone’s life on the show who died in the comics?
Dale’s death in the comic book came way later than it did in the TV show. And Shane’s death in the comic book came way sooner than it did in the TV show. So that’s pretty much the model that we’re going to be following throughout the life of the series. Some characters will die before they reached the point that they reached in the comic book series, and some people will outlast their comic-book counterpart. And that’s going to be done to keep things interesting [and] because it’s not just me writing the television show. There are five or six other people that have good ideas that are contributing to the show, and it would be wrong to go, “That’s a good idea but that’s not how we did it in the comics.” There will definitely be differences. You can’t use the comic book to gauge when or how someone is going to die.

TVLINE | Will there be another major death next week?
I can say that the cast that enters the final episode this season does not leave the final episode intact. And there are a lot of surprises still yet to come.

TVLINE | Will the finale end on a cliffhanger, as in mid-scene? Or will it be more similar to the Season 1 finale, which ended in a more resolute place?
It’s not quite a true cliffhanger, but it’s much closer to a cliffhanger than what we had last season.

TVLINE | And lastly, will T-Dog be allowed to speak again?
[Laughs] T-Dog definitely has a lot of cool moments in the finale and a lot of lines. I apologize for that. It’s one of those things where certain characters have to recede into the background to give room to the other characters because we have such a large cast. But every character will get their moment to shine — T-Dog included."

The two most diametrically opposed characters bite it two weeks in a row...interesting
And yes the Governor is BAD...no kidding...be hard to portray him on TV even half as bad as the comic.

David Morrissey is joining The Walking Dead (http://www.tvline.com/tag/the-walking-dead/) in Season 3 as a major new foil for Andrew Lincoln’s Rick.

The British actor (State of Play, Meadowlands) will play The Governor, the leader of a new settlement of survivors that clashes with Rick.

The character originated in exec producer Robert Kirkman’s WD graphic novel. Morrissey will make his first appearance at the start of the show’s third season, which begins production this spring in Atlanta.

Edited because it double posted.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 12 -- Recap and Spoilers (http://www.tvline.com/2012/03/the-walking-dead-season-2-episode-12-death/)

Killing Shane was an emotional moment because they were like brothers at one time. When Rick killed Shane, the zombie flashbacks were him possibly realizing what was in the future for Shane. He stood by, hovered and knelt by Shane until Carl came by and interrupted the moment. Once again, Carl is getting to be a big issue for Rick and he let his guard down. Had it not been for Carl, Rick would've witnessed him turning and shot Shane.

Brock - I don't think it was Rick having those zombie flashbacks after he killed Shane. I think it was Shane having those zombie flashbacks (yes I know he was dead at that point - but his mind was still alive when he transformed) I took it as him going through a very rapid metamorphosis and almost being "shocked back to life" but as a zombie. There have been a few people that have become zombies after they die of natural causes (with no bites, etc.). I am glad they killed off Shane, he was becoming a total loose canon. :redblob:

Amazing episode. They are really setting the stage for seasons to follow.

I had a feeling the disease was airborne and having the 2 police officers turned zombie with no signs of biting led me to believe it even more, this episode confirmed it.

Rumor has it the next episode starts with more cast than what it finishes with so clearly the zombie hoard does some work. Really anxious to see how it plays out, and well how Rick plays out his murder of shane, I'm pretty sure Daryl has his back on that one

Adam, I think Laurie was trying to make peace. They sorta built it up to her possibly wanting to tell him that she still had feelings but it wasn't that. Laurie felt guilty that she never once considered Shane's feelings in the whole matter and that she and Carl's survival was squarely on Shane taking care of them.

But what she didn't consider is that Shane was obsessed with her. And all he heard in his pea brain was that things would be better or go back to "normal" if Rick weren't around. If he had to do it all again, he would have done Rick in while he was in a coma.As for the zombie flashbacks...I don't believe in a virus that would cause you to flash on zombie images as you turn. Could they have done it to show the viewers a transformation? Not likely.

Watch next week's repeat. Rick is the one having an emotional breakdown as he realizes how the Shane matter has been resolved. It would make more sense (IMO) that it's Rick knowing what is going to happen to Shane.

Guys, what do you think Rick was going to tell Carl just before the zombie herd descended on them? The question Carl posed was, what happened to Shane?...will Rick lie or tell him it was his doing and why he had to do it?

Rumor has it the next episode starts with more cast than what it finishes with so clearly the zombie hoard does some work.

We should all guess who will become snacks for the walkers next week.

I would bet on Hershel, his suicidal daughter, and Daryl.

Next year, it is rumored that Rick's wife also dies.

Adam, I think Laurie was trying to make piece. They sorta built it up to her possibly wanting to tell him that she still had feelings but it wasn't that. Laurie felt guilty that she never once considered Shane's feelings in the whole matter and that she and Carl's survival was squarely on Shane taking care of them.

But what she didn't consider is that Shane was obsessed with her. And all he heard in his pea brain was that things would be better or go back to "normal" if Rick weren't around. If he had to do it all again, he would have done Rick in while he was in a coma.As for the zombie flashbacks...I don't believe in a virus that would cause you to flash on zombie images as you turn. Could they have done it to show the viewers a transformation? Not likely.

Watch next week's repeat. Rick is the one having an emotional breakdown as he realizes how the Shane matter has been resolved. It would make more sense (IMO) that it's Rick knowing what is going to happen to Shane.

Cuda

The wife says she thinks Andrea the suicidal daughter or jimmy. I feel hershel is going to sacrifice himself for the group. I hope Daryl doesn't go not only have I like Norman reedus since boondock saints (1 cause #2 sucked IMO) his character is ripe for growth as the #2. So If the governor is that Brit that confirms mereyl isn't the gov...... Am I hanging on to a character they won't bring back? Where is his one handed ass!?!

The Governor, poster on Sucks, who has been accurate all season has put out his spoilers for the finale. It's very detailed and here they are:

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers; the herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.

As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane exactly. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn. Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Herschel passes out the guns.

The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight. Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time.

Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large. The women hold hands and make a run for it as Herschel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her.

Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Herschel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her.

Rick, Carl, and Herschel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendevouz here. Herschel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway.

A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:
Shane - dead
Andrea - missing
Patricia - taken by the walkers
Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path.

The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together. The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. Jenner's secret is that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them.

Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo-- she bashes in a walker's head with it-- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2





Saw this on Walking Dead Facebook page take with a grain of salt....

Something else to think about, they are all infected...the baby Ricks wife has is also infected but on a cellular level its in his/her DNA. The baby could hold the key to the cure and france was closest to it.

guess we will see...wondered if they would work the prison into the season. seems plausible as this is how the Governors group and survivor group end up meeting

So I read your spoiler..... Lots of info can't wait for the episode.... So according to the spoiler the CDC guy said every1 has it..... Makes sense considering people w/o bites are turning..... But as your second post said every1 is infected at a cellular level how could the baby hold the info for a cure....is it because said baby is born after infection swept across the area...... We don't know to what extent the region or country or worlds infected......I'm not doubting anything I just am curious what people think. Also u said France was this something Truman's friend at the CDC said? If so I just didn't remember. Inbeteen this season and next I believe I'll watch all the episodes again to further my understanding of the series.

Well so far in the show the spoiler alert that was posted was dead on. Even though I had an insight into this episode before it is still a pretty good episode half way into it. My dislike for Lori only grows. Seeing how initially it wasn't her fault getting involved with Shane, she led him on knew he was crazy and kept sending mixed signals. That being said I'm ready for her to go. Carl to by the way. He is a baby. I was wondering remember the black dude that helped rick in the beginning of the series? What ever happened to him? Was he just something from the beginning or will he come back? If I remember rick said he was going to go back to him. OOOOOO just so michonne with the arm less chained walkers!! SWEET!


Also
they confirmed on talking dead that shane was going through a chemical process as he turned.
And that I asked about the black dude from the beginning well on talking dead someone called and asked out of Morgan Duane and Merely who was coming back the E.P. said 33% of those people will be back for sure.....Seems obvious to me.
Apparently helicopters are back!

and they named michonne as a character deni gurra (spelling) I cant find any info on her

I don't think I can wait till the Fall for Season 3!

Did u watch the talking dead? I don't usually but since it was right after I did and they said all this story was just setting up season 3. I have so many questions about michonne and the armless chained up lame brains.

she is basically a delusional schizophrenic at this point...only gets worse for her...the biters she leads around by chain won't be in the story long.

Last night wasn't bad but Michonne at the end walking around with two Walkers on a leash is a bit too much. The urge to eat is strong. Even without arms those two would be coming at her.

Walkers seem to amble along but once they have a lock on you they can move quick. But what's his name in the RV I thought was going to pull up for Rick and Carl (Lori's little turd) to hop on and then move on. He just parked there like he was the special at Sonic!

Lori is a real piece of work. She can't keep an eye on Carl and then recoils from Rick for defending himself. I'm tired of her giving the Manson eyes every 5 minutes.

Brock,

I see what ur saying about the chained walkers maybe they needed a muzzle. At this point how long has been since the beginning? I don't think in a few months when people can't figure out how to stay alive they could train walkers. But since I never read comics I have no insight. Yea Lori and Carl r not my favorite Carl's a pouty baby. Especially when he walked away after Rick said they couldn't go back. That was asking for something to happen that would have prolly killed off another character. I guess initially last episode was hershels last. He was pretty cool firing shot after shot but I never saw him reload. Wierd.

Knowing what we know about the infection...watching this last season again will be cool because there were Easter eggs all over place regarding Rick's behavior after the CDC and other things that seemed odd.

For example, I always wondered how these people bashed Walker's skulls and got blood splatters all over there faces and near their mouths but never got sick.

I thought the same thing.... How exactly is it transferred. I don't remeber who said the zombie visions weren't shane turning but they were according to talking dead. Which makes sense considering the revelation that everyone's infected. What exactley causes the turn might be revealed later apparently bites and death infect everything else is conjecture. Obviously this is JUST a TV SHOW but I love to speculate.

It looked like to me the walkers that michonne had chained up had their mouths covered with something

Yeah, I said the flashes were Rick's and they should have been. It would've made more sense because Rick was freaking out and gave Shane so many passes. But by his own admission he didn't believe Dr. Nutbag was accurate up until he saw it happen to Shane.

And they never did show Shane stab the second Walker through the fence but they did show him do the blood smear trick on the bus. Meaning he cut his own hand with presumably the same knife. And it didn't infect him.

Maybe going forward, there will always be clues that'll keep us on our toes to what's coming around the corner.

OC, I'll have to watch out for the muzzle though again why bother to have them? Is the question that knowing what we know, should we be able to figure out how having walkers on a leash serve a purpose? Maybe it masks her scent so she walk around them more stealthily...

Brock, it could be that their scent allows her to be in "hiding", what i dont get is that even if they had muzzles or whatever, they would still be trying to run at you. The michonne character + the chained walkers has me questioning WTH??

Michonne as one of the producers said on TAlking dead has figured it out.....Yes she keeps them around to mask her scent. Also dont know how or when but she has been feeding them for a long period of time you dont go from lawyer to katana weilding badass over night. In the process the walkers she has with her have gotten use to her hence they dont attack or run to her. Just my 2 cents from all i have read.

No muzzles guys she removed their lower jaws, thats how it was in the comic and on the telly.

there is literally NO back story as to how the whole thing started even in the comics. The CDC episode was not part of the comic story line however was a very good addition to the TV show

also check out the walking dead mini-webisodes. you can find them on youtube. short back story on what happened with the female torso zombie from season 1 episode 1.

Brock,He was pretty cool firing shot after shot but I never saw him reload. Wierd.

I saw Hershel reload his shotgun. However, she seemed to get off too many shots before he had to reload.

Ok I never saw him reload but I prolly missed it. I am going to watch the webisodes to get more background and the last episode to see the walkers jaws gone.... Which seems to be most plausible yet but like I said I haven't read comics and most likely won't so I don't know to much before shows come out.

They did show Hershel reload once but he fired about 20 shots before he did it. The magazine tube would need to be 10 feet long! Great show so far and it looks lie next season is going to really take off. People are starting to adapt to the situation they're in.

Here are the 6 webisodes that AMC produced prior to the start of Season 2 to explain the circumstances leading up to Rick finding the "Bicycle Girl" (i.e., the half-torso girl in Season 1).

Not sure. All I read is that Telltale will be releasing a game in April.

I hope releasing the game doesn't screw up the show. I would rather see the back story on how the "virus" started rather than see a game......Maybe that's just me.

I get show email updates and one I saw they were taking about the prison is going to be badass. And they bumped up episodes from 10 to 16. Also they just started filming season 3.....

Hey you Walking Dead fans, how many of you saw Sunday's new episode? Who in their right mind would take refuge in a prison where there are hundreds of caged zombie prisoners and guards??

Noticed something last night while watching a DVR'd show..... They don't even use blanks in the firearms they use? No recoil, just computer generated flashes? At least use blanks for the recoil.

Hey a prison does have the castle like denfense structure, enclosed land for planting crops, etc. You just have to clear it out first which should be easy if your systematic, and are not idiots. Add to this easy confinement, safe sleeping quarters in case one of your on gets infected and turned in the night, etc. At least in the latest season they seem to be finally getting a clue on how to survive and not be complete idiots wondering around waiting for zombie attacks while sleeping in tents with no one on guard duty.


Ike

p.s. as to the gun issue, I don't have a problem with propane powered flash guns, etc. as long as the guns are not being featured in a close up scene, way too many actors have been killed by blanks or prop guns on sets over the years.

Hey you Walking Dead fans, how many of you saw Sunday's new episode? Who in their right mind would take refuge in a prison where there are hundreds of caged zombie prisoners and guards??

Actually, a prison IS a prime location to defend against invaders. Well fortified, sniper towers, thick walls. In the comics, the prison played a very big role for Rick and the crew. It only fell when the Governor (leader of Woodbury, where Michonne and Andrea will end up) attacked it with a tank.

Granted, if the zombies in The Walking Dead were like the zombies in Dawn of the Dead, and they could run after you full speed...you might have a problem :)

for now the storyline is still "roughly" following the comic series which includes the group taking refuge in the prison.
However, I find it ridiculous that a zombie would "play dead" until Hershel walked close enough to be grabbed and bitten.

Well, the part that's actually ridiculous is that Hershel walked over that zombie once already and then walked over it again to get bitten. They had flashlights, and he knew it was there. That exact scene DOES happen in the comics, but it happens to Dale, and it's pitch black so he didn't know the body was there.

But MY question is.....who the heck is mowing all the grass in their world??? Those lawns look pretty well manicured for it being a zombie apocalypse!! :)

Maybe the zombies are doing it, they seem to still have some basic human like function, try to turn door knobs, etc. It would be funny if they showed a zombie pushing a lawn mower around.

You know what's funny? You think it would be common sense during a zombie outbreak is to make sure zombies are dead! Personally, if I was doing a sweep in a building for zombies and I came across one lying on the floor, I would make sure it is in fact DEAD. I wouldn't assume its dead just because its lying on the floor etc. I would bash its head its head in to make sure :P

So now Hershel is bitten because of his stupidity. If I had a doctor in my group, he would be the last person I would take to help clear out zombies. Why? Because he is like gold, very valuable to have!

I find it ridiculous that a zombie would "play dead" until Hershel walked close enough to be grabbed and bitten.

My thoughts exactly. That kinda ticked me off!

however I will say that the field amputation Rick did had even this veteran medic grimacing...ouch!

But MY question is.....who the heck is mowing all the grass in their world??? Those lawns look pretty well manicured for it being a zombie apocalypse!! :)

Maybe the walking dead chew on grass, like goats, when they can't sink their teeth into something more meaty. :icon_lol:

Great show!!!! I've been hooked since the first episode. I usually try and DVR the episode and then fast forward through the commercials. Seems there are twice as many since it's success!!!

crime does not pay in the zombie world either...3 out of 5 cons dead before end of show LOL

I was NOT happy that they killed off the 3 cons that quick. I was hoping for at least a little story arc between the cons and Rick's crew before they got offed.

Poor Big Tiny though. I liked him....

NO Michonne/Andrea storyline yet.....evidently that's all next week's episode. The rumors are that this whole season will be divided up between the 2 storylines and will end up with them coming together. Then NEXT season is supposed to be the Governor trying to take the prison from Rick.

Now...if they decided to bring Negan into the show.....

crime does not pay in the zombie world either...3 out of 5 cons dead before end of show LOL

I lost track of the body count. How many zombies were shot, speared, or hacked last night? :ugh2:

a little dissapointed with Rick's direction, loosing his humanity rather quickly
glad to see Hershel still alive

Luke

clearly pandering to the "shock effect" of Hershel grabbing her while she is doing rescue breathing though

a little dissapointed with Rick's direction, loosing his humanity righter quickly
glad to see Hershel still alive

Luke

That's actually how it is in the comics. The whole internal conflict in Rick starts to happen really early. In the books, Shane dies within the first few issues, so the whole "good/evil" thing starts very quickly for Rick. In the show, Shane stayed around for so long and you had the conflict with 2 different characters. I'm really interested to see Rick's direction in this season....

a little dissapointed with Rick's direction, loosing his humanity righter quickly

Luke

Rick was really left with no choice. The inmate with the ponytail obviously had no intent on coming to any agreement with Rick. He obviously could not be trusted and wanted the whole jail to himself. He tried to slice Rick and missed and then throws a zombie at him. So it's quite obvious he wanted to eliminate Rick out of the equation.

What would you do? If some felon was very aggressive and tried to kill you, wouldn't you kill them to not only save yourself and your family and group? I know I wouldn't hesitate! I wouldn't trust murders and would have killed them right of way. I wouldn't have taken any chances!

Rick let the others live, minus the one that ran. Like I stated before, Rick had no choice to kill the one inmate! Even for some dumb reason Rick dismissed the inmate trying to kill him, I bet you that inmate would have tried to infiltrate the cell block that Rick had everyone.

What was up with the Governor ambushing and killing the National Guard unit? Why??

He said he'll die before he loses the community. Basically, he views all outsiders (especially ones with heavy artillery) as a threat and they need to be eliminated. Also, you have to expect anyone who has giant fish tanks full of floating heads in their house that he views as TVs, clearly isn't playing with a full deck.

If they do the Governor anywhere near his comic book alter ego, you're going to see A LOT worse....

I almost stopped reading the comics at this point it is was so violent in content

I think that killing the Guard unit was a tragic mistake. Think about the skillsets that those 8 or so guys had. Be it small arms and tactics or mechanical and electronic specialties. They certainly would have been a benefit to the "community" and not a draw on resources. But maybe he is also just trying to keep himself as Alpha male and not wanting that strong of an influx into this "community".

Definitely something up with that dude and he is way creepy.

No I never read the comics so this is all new to me.

What an episode!!!

I shed a tear when rick lost it, that was FREAKING hard to swallow for any man!
To lose his wife, and the innocence his son had is now TOTALLY gone when he put a bullet in his mothers head, if he actually did it of course. But biggest lost was T-Dog, totally contributed to the group and its survival. I hope they intro a char to replace him....they are gonna need it.

Yea they have to the group is to small now. Andrew Lincoln played that part so dang well, one if the best episodes yet!

A great show, but what an intense episode!

How about the "sporting event" the Governor put on for his people? It looked like a WWE event with walkers as lumberjacks. :eek3:

In case anyone wants a peek into this Sunday's episode (Nov. 18), check this out:

I saw the clip of Michonne finding Penny on Talking Dead. Next week is going to be insane and needless to say, the Merle/Daryl meet up is going to be epic. Remember, other than Daryl's hallucination last season, they've never been together since the show started.

Wait you you guys read this about the mid-season finale!

Second the comment on the comics, excellent series, makes for good tablet reading

I found this interesting "zombie body count." The remaining 10 human survivors, in two years, have killed 232 walkers! Check out these crazy graphics.

What i dont get is with all the walkers roaming why not come up with a plan to 86 them or at least in mass. Like a pit covered in leaves or something not that they are smart enough to walk around it anyway.

Are you still reading them? Issue #100 was pretty brutal. At least for Glenn, anyway

:deadhorse: <---- if that gives you a hint of what I'm referring to

Have not read them since they got to D.C. story arc.
Heck I don't even know if they are still printing new episodes

OMG will they please kill Andrea!!! She is so annoying and Michonne hit the nail on the head about Andrea.

Agreed! I'm really tired of this back and forth crap

Was this past Sundays episode number 3 for the season? It feels like I missed an episode since the season premiere. I don't remember the Governor coming to the jail or the truck with zombies crashing into the courtyard. Last I remember Daryl left with Merle after the rescue.

Yea this was the 3rd.

Wishing Rick would snap out of it and get busy kicking ass as the leader again. Also things are so weird between Asian boy and farm girl and they just need to hug and make up. Something tells me that Andrea not killing one eye is going to come back to bite her...

I really hope so! She just put everyone at the prison in danger because she's.....Lonely!

Eh the show has just turned into two factions fighting it out with zombies thrown in the mix....basically its Lost with the Dharma group vs crash survivors type scenario

well everyone is going crazy in zombie land...Morgan is clearly coo coo for cocopuffs
Big thumbs down for leaving the hiker on the road by himself...you KNEW he was gonna end up dead at the end.

It was a good episode, but I can't believe the whole thing was centered there!

Morgan coming back was very important to Rick because it makes him realize that he has reasons to keep fighting. As for the hitchhiker....yea, it was obvious he was going to get eaten. But look at what Rick has put up with from strangers: the 2 guys in the bar, Randall, The Governor, the prisoners that WERE bad. Can't blame him for not opening the door.

It was a good episode, but I can't believe the whole thing was centered there!

The main reason was to bring Michonne deeper into the fold. I don't know if you read the comic books, but Michonne is basically Rick's right hand. I was really glad to see Michonne, Rick and Carl work as a unit by the end of the episode. And that line that Michonne says about understanding how Rick goes off a bit is right out of the books.

Can't blame him for not opening the door.

The irony is that the living have lost their humanity and are now the "monsters" of the world.
the zombies simply act on instinct while the living intentionally choose to brutalize others in an attempt to live.
who is really the most evil at this point in the show when you think about it?
this theme is also familiar in the the omega man/I am legend.

Wasn't the Walking Dead finale great last night?

Who would have thought that the Governor would shoot all of his townspeople and that Milton would turn into a walker and snack on Andrea?

Also, how about Carl becoming a cold-blooded killer?

There are so ,many surprises in this series. The only thing constant is that if you are one of the actors, you won't be picking up a lot of paychecks.

That was one of the best ending I was very happy with it.

+1 very good finale!!

Good finale. I was expecting a bigger climax but it was riveting nonetheless. Great acting going on in that last scene.

I would have liked to have seen the The Governor get killed. I'm guessing he'll be back with some reinforcements. After all the trauma he put everyone through, we need to see him get his.

Here's a glimpse into next season.

The Walking Dead - (SPOILERS) A Look Ahead: Inside The Walking Dead – AMC (http://www.amctv.com/the-walking-dead/videos/spoilers-a-look-ahead-inside-the-walking-dead)

I wasn't all that impressed with the finale. I mean really? No fight and they're going to bring back that sick Governor. His story chewed up most of the season this year and its all drama. That guy should'a got killed a while ago and move on in a different direction. I think Carl would be just the "man" for the job. Every show needs a bad guy but this one is historically lucky in every way, so much so that his antics are unbelievable. Lets go back to zombie survival, and perhaps new signs of civilization.
I still am hooked on this show though. I'll be tuning in.
