This is exactly what I did when Rick stabbed him lol
Me too!! Well I kind of screamed in shock, then said Woo!! lol! Hated Shane!
btw...so happy I found this group!
me some Walking Dead! 0 -
How did dale die in the comics?Can I just say that I totally LOVED how Shane died in the comic and the fact that Rick had to go back and fix things after he discovered the facts behind the 'zombie virus'. That was great. Also how Dale died in the comic was so awesome! I really wish they would have done that on the show but I guess it would have been TOO intense for some people. It was crazy and sick and just awesome.
Now I think I just need to order them.0 -

lol me too! In one way I felt bad for Shane but then again, he took things too far sometimes. He was too hot headed and that made him dangerous.0 -
Well, I'm still glad Shane is dead. I'll be truly upset if Darryl goes, but since I have never read the comics, I'm pretty clueless about upcoming episodes. Now, someone beat some sense into Carl. Don't forget that kid pulled a gun on his own father before Shane ever rose up as a walker. Makes me wonder if he isn't really Shane's kid (though they've said Shane and Lori never had anything until after the whole zombie thing started).0

I had tears in my eyes :[ you could see the whole bromance thing they had going on just spark back as soon as he did that; Shane was like *shocked face* & Rick was like *wtf did I just do* face.
This is true. I think I wanted to cry for Shane, but I held so much resentment towards him. Dale, was another story. I bawled my eyes out lol. I even cried at the beginning of last night's episode when Rick was talking about him

I honestly don't think he pulled the gun on Rick. I think that's what we were supposed to believe at first, but I have watched that scene several times, and it shows Carl raising the gun, then the camera panning out and we see Shane pop up. Realistically, I'm sure Shane was wallowing around on the ground, attempting to stand, and Carl would have seen that. I think that's why he raised the gun.0 -
No...but he sure attacked Lori. That was unacceptable. When a woman says no, get off, get the fuck off, or lose a testicle.Shane never raped anyone or tolerated that kind of behavior also.
I am not OK with this sentiment. THIS does NOT make it fine, regardless of any emotional stringing along Lori may or may not be doing.Yeah, but he didn't do it. He stopped and didn't rape her.
^ glad someone said it! truth!0 -
It's funny, I really hated Shane, even though I could understand where he was coming from half the time, but I was sad to find out he's dead only because he made the show more interesting.0

If you really want to know, message me and I'll message you back and let you know. I don't want to spoil it. For anyone who is thinking of reading the comics. By the way, I found them ALL in my local library for those of you who don't want to go out and buy them!!0 -
I'm hoping Maggie survives- I like her too - and Glenn's being so weird!!! I kinda thought it was dumb of Shane to try and shoot Rick, and SERIOUSLY, WHAT are they thinking looking for that kid in the dark?! in the woods....with walkers around? Really?! and the supplies in the basement comment kind of baffled me- doesn't that like give you No way out? Anyways... cause it's not like the walkers are starving to death and stop coming after you.0

Who was the guy nailing boards onto the farm house? I don't think I've seen him before. Kind of bugs me that there are these people that are in the show and you have no clue who they are. Kind of like lost and all the survivors of the plane crash. They were just background noise.
Sad to see Shane gone - he was the cagey, psycho character that was perfect because he always kept you wondering what he'd do next.0 -
I think he's Maggies sister's husband..Jimmy? not sure of his name. they don't really show any of the farm people now except for Hershel and Maggie.0

ugh. I never said it was okay, but there is a difference between gang raping women on a regular basis and what Shane did. No, what he did was totally and utterly wrong and he deserved a serious beatdown for it. Comparing him to Mr. I-hang-with-the-gang-rape-group is silly to me.0 -
Yes- its Jimmy. Maggies sisters Boyfriend. He's been on the farm this whole time. Remember the episode when he said he wanted to go help look for Sophia and Daryl told him "people in hell want slurpees"? One of my favorite Daryl quotes!0
-
Could it be that Carl saw Rick kill Shane and really did pull the gun on Rick? Seems to me that Carl respected and spent a lot of time with Shane. Almost more time than with Rick. At least Shane was always looking out for Carl.0

I saw it as Carl pulling the gun on Rick. Shane was the one who saved him and his mom and got them safely out of Atlanta and was a father-figure to him before Rick came back. I can imagine it was horribly traumatic to see his father kill Shane.0 -
Yeah thats what I think, too. Shane was more a father to Carl than Rick had been for a long time, and most recently.0
-
Didn't anyone notice that Randall came back as a zombie and went after Glen and Darryl? Randall's neck was snapped by Shane, he wasn't bitten at all. Shane came back and he wasn't bitten, either.
Yes, but not sure what it means yet. I'm waiting for the Carrie-hand-pop-out-of-the-ground moment when Dale comes back as a zombie (is he the only one that died as a human in this season?). That is, if everyone that dies comes back as a walker no matter if they were bitten or not. That should have been what Jenner told Rick at the end of last season, though Rick hasn't acted like he's known that at all this season.
Me thinks it's airborne....doesn't matter how you die.
I can't remember the original first episode where they explain how this all started so I could be way off.0 -
so i need to go read all the responses ...
how the hell was shane a zombie? the flashes of zombie-ness right afterwards - i guess they were coming from shane, not rick.
SO, i'm thinking it's airborne or waterborne or whatever. and these guys are carriers (the prisoner guy and shane) and that's why they turned into walkers immediately after death.
OR - they (prisoner, shane and rick) got infected somehow at that "camp" they went to when they first let the prisoner go. remember the guards they found who didn't have any bites? forshadowing baby.
OR - the walker who split in half and ended up in the well. and everyone is screwed.0 -

I have to say that I really like this plot twist. Makes the whole zombie-thing way more interesting

Yeah his name is Jimmy, he was Beth's (Maggie's sister) boyfriend of three months.0 -

I forgot about this! Thank you for refreshing my mind lol0 -
I really don't think taking Randall into the woods was a ploy to get the truth. That was just icing on the cake. I think he'd already planned on killing him and getting Rick alone. I liked Shane's character for the most part. I even understood the Otis thing - I really just wish he and Andrea would have gone out of their own and had 2 different points of view to go by in the series.
PS... Hello Zombie Hoard! Please push the survivors off the ****ing farm! I am so sick of Pleasantville! lol.
And anyone else think it was weird that they just now boarded up the downstairs windows? Kind of foreshadowing on the on coming zombie battle don't ya think?
I agree with you about why Shane took Randall into the woods, that's what I thought as soon as Shane went into the barn with him. That his agenda was to somehow get Rick alone and freeing Randall would be the perfect ploy. Also agree about getting off the farm!! That's the only way there is going to be more action, by being back out on the road.
If you remember from the beginning of the episode, Hershel told everyone that they should all move inside, that he should have invited them in long before this, but that it's crucial now b/c it's going to start getting colder out. That's why they were boarding up the windows. To keep out the cold AND the zombies. Makes sense to me.0 -
Yes. I'm sorry but Rick is being a wussy. And that's not the word I really want to use. He needs to man up.
Pretty sure he "manned-up" when he shoved that knife in his best friend's gut.
i agree he def manned up but i dont agree with everyone about rick i think he does what needs to be done but makes mistakes like everyone would. Randell did have to die but no matter what Shane was off the handle he needed to go. cant wait till next week. I thin kits airborn too it was cool to see what shane was thinking in his head as he was dieing or coming back either way it was all zombies lmao
cant wait to see next week i am wondering if the walkers started back to the farm from following them when they left that place they were at to drop randell off.0 -

I doubt the cold is an issue. There was a random walker roaming around that got dale and also the walkers eating the cow at the beginning of the episode. That whole conversation was about security.0 -
Enough of the attempted rape stuff, it doesnt matter now anyways. i dont think it spread through the well water of that well zombie. i remember them saying there were three wells on the property and i dont think anyone is stupid enoygh to drink out of it. also, going with that explanation doesnt work if Jenners scret was how the virus spreads...0
-
To be honest ladies, I try to avoid talking about the comic too much for that reason, but so much has changed up, there is no guarantee that everything will be exactly the same.0
-
That's what I said in another post. This show ventured from the comic in a good way. You can expect anything to happen that happened in the comic0
-
Thanks! :happy:
I don't mind reading that Shane died earlier in the comics after Shane has died in the show, but I would have been disappointed to read that last week.
Gah, I woke up at 3:00 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, thinking how are they going to get out of this?!?!? What's going to happen?!?! Love the suspense!0 -
I can't wait either, and I'm almost scared to watch, because I'm sure it'll be a "cliff hanger" and then I'll be waiting for the new Season!! I LOVE this show!
BTW - has anyone seen Doomsday Preppers? caught an episode of it the other day, and made me think of all of us prepping for Zombie-pocolypse - lol although some of the people on the Doomsday show are a little beyond - sorry. off topic, but had to mention it... my husband watched part of the Better Angels episode with me, and it drew our conversation to needing to stock some water in case of emergency.. lol
SO, with that, what would YOU do in zombiepocolypse, or where would YOU go?0
