Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion Thread

The more I thought about the entire scene, the more I think Shane had no intention of killing Rick. I think either Shane became infected by the entire way things unfolding at the school in the bus. He felt himself turning, I mean he was acting straight up crazy this previous episode. Maybe he felt himself turning and he knew there was only one way for himself to be killed and not actually hurt any of the other group.

To me if Shane wanted to kill Rick he would have done it at any moment when it was just the two of them. And he kept egging him on, talking about how he wasn't able to take care of his wife and kids and so on and so forth. To me it showed that Shane wanted to die and in some odd way he wanted his best friend to be the one to help him out of the fact that he was about to be turned into a walker.

here's a great interview with Jon Bernthal (shane) about the last scene, etc. he speaks to your theory about shane wanting rick to kill him.

great point about if he felt himself turning. I still don't know if they turn while alive or if the infection comes up after they die as a living person. The scene in the barn when he sits on the stoll made me think he felt it coming on or that he was infected. When he paused and grabbed at his head.

AWESOME EPISODE!















That is all...

Is EVERYONE walking dead? Does death then make you a walker? Be it, however you die?

This "other group" is "crazy"...does anyone think that "group" has Daryl's brother in it or leading it?

I never thought about the Meryl in the other group thing. That's possible I wouldn't say he's leading though, Meryl really isn't the "leading" type. Also if Meryl was leading he for sure wouldn't have sent people to get other people of his group, also he wouldn't have a black guy in the group like the one that got eaten by the zombies.

That was a fantastic episode. Interesting theory about Shane not wanting to kill Rick, and great insight from that interview.

No one has mentioned it yet, but how powerful was beginning scene with Dale's funeral and Glenn with the RV? It really shows how much Dale really meant to the group, and he did all these little things to ensure they were safe. He was a great father figure to many of them, especially Glenn, and seeing how much he learned from him was a great tribute to Dale.

Speaking of Glenn, he seems to have matured a bit recently. He saved Darryl! How many people on the show have done that? Even Darryl acknowledged it. Lets see if he freezes again during the next ambush.

This may be a long shot, but maybe no matter how u die in this new world you will turn? That could explain the cops with no bite marks, and also why Rick always makes sure the brain is punctured each time he kills a walker. If u notice after he killed the big dude in the bar, after hitting him center mass, he made sure to put one round in his head...clearly after the dude was dead. Why waste ammo? Is it to make sure the brain dies, so there is no chance of turning?
Maybe just death itself is turning people.. Due to something that went airborne? Like I said, longshot...

Damn I'm good.... no props for my theory from last week??

LOL

Next week is gonna be BLOODY!!!!!

I would be pretty fed up too if "more-useless-than-T-Dog" Carol was harping me about poor leadership. Not to mention a manipulative wife who implied that he needed to get rid of Shane, only to become disgusted when he does just that.

Rick is a man who wants to "do the right thing", and several times that right thing never pleases the group, even though they're incapable of making these decisions themselves. He had to kill Shane, and he had to keep Jenner's revelation a secret to keep the group together. When Rick is trying to protect everyone, and they're all talking about running off, he has to employ a dictatorship to keep a fragile and indecisive(which constantly gets them in trouble) group together. He called them out, and I have no problem with that.

I'm not, considering the reaction his wife had to him telling her about shane. It seems weird since she was basically pep talking him a few episodes earlier. Telling him that no one can take what's his. He was having a hard time dealing with his action that shane forced on him and she just abandoned him more or less. I can see where that as well as the others saying they needed to move would cause him to give the reaction he did.

However, the craziest thing was the hooded guy at the end with the two armless walkers chained to him. I can only guess that he has them chained to him to keep other walkers away from him, masking his scent or something. I'm also assuming he's connected with the prison that they showed at the end of the episode... at least it looked like a prison to me. Stinks that new episodes won't be on until next fall.

Definitely glad to see them off of the farm. It was pretty boring there for the most part. I'm ready to see them on the move and figuring out where to stay and exploring new areas.

I watched talking dead after the show, and that hooded figure is a black female. (Michonne) Yes, it was a prison.
