The Walking Dead (Season 2) [R]

So by that logic, all of the characters just have to make it another couple of weeks, and they'll be so much more mobile than the walkers that they won't have to worry about them. I'm guessing that doesn't get written into the script.

That bothered me a lot as well. Maybe she wouldn't have gotten sick, but she would have freaked the hell out at a minimum.

I'm sure if I cared more about the characters and what happens to them, I'd notice the inconsistencies less.

I'm pretty sure that blood contact transference of the virus has never been mentioned in The Walking Dead; just bites.

But I'm not glued to the screen. That's part of the problem. I have a lot of times to pick up on these things.

Yeah I never get watching something to nitpick every little detail, if those things bug people so much, turn the channel.

But there's zombies.

I happened upon The Mist on TV and found out that the actors playing Dale and Andrea had shared the screen before in that movie. In fact, in Melissa Suzanne McBride there is a third cast member that was in both The Mist and the Walking Dead.

Frank Darabont projects tend to use a lot of the same actors...

The Majestic is the same way...

So the instinct meter went off in my head last night... Why would Shane do what he did? I felt that either the show's writers needed to make a bad guy among the humans, or they just screwed up and wrote something illogical... i don't think that it went with his character at all... wouldn't he have done it earlier? I hated seeing that killing... it was unnecessary and just downright cold...

It's actually more in line with the comic book Shane.

I thought that was the strongest episode of the season so far. That hanging zombie was pretty creepy.

Daryl is just being rational. Without his brother, he can choose to try to survive on his own, or join up with the group. And he has little to gain by being an asshole all the time.

Even though I think I'm right in saying that the comic book Shane didn't quite survive this long - so they are deviating seriously from the comics with that - his behavior was seriously in line with the character from the source materials.

What I haven't seen yet is Carl displaying the first signs of his nascent sociopathy. Perhaps they will not include that in the TV version?

Couldn't he have achieved the same thing by shooting him in the head and spared him being eaten alive? would have been easier to retrieve the bag.

It was completely logical. He shot Otis as a last resort once he realized they both couldn't escape. They were both too slow, and Shane needed some time to get away since he was injured. Shane did what he had to do to survive. He didn't do it out of joy.

The guy had just saved his life minutes before though.

Best episode thus far. At least we can start talking about the character and avoid the nitpicking over whether a zombie would prefer paper or plastic.

As I was watching them limp away from the horde, I thought to myself that Shane should shoot the fat one in the leg. Remember kids, you don't have to be able to outrun the horde, just the guy your running with.
