this is why i like the show and Not butt hurt its not like the comic
Acting is a wonderful thing.

PS… does tonights ep happen in the comic?

[details=Spoiler]Shanes zombie part was crazy, I wonder if Rick didn’t clean the knife to well…
also the walker in the woods, wonder what happened to that guy!
that pan out scene was crazy, SO MANY FUCKING ZOMBIES! REALLY!? [/details]

So see the emotion/scene with your eyes is something else.
like Game of throne, Visualizing ned and seeing it in such detail, lol… now sad…

1282

Similar but different:

Spoiler

In the comic Rick gave Carl the gun and Carl picked up the gun no problem, a little drama with Lori but Carl never kills a zombie or anything. Eventually Shane does take Rick out to the woods to kill him, and screams at him that he’s tearing the group apart and yada yada. Rick tries to talk Shane out of it but just as Shane is about to shoot Rick, Carl draws his gun and fatally kills Shane but does not shoot him in the head. Later after the dust settles and the group buries Shane and they’re about to leave the camp (this is WAY before they find the farm, all this shit happens around issue 4 or 6 or so) Rick drives back to the camp and digs up a now zombified Shane and shoots him in the head.

Best episode since the 1st one. Holy shit.

1284

YES YES YES

stoked for the season finale

1285

Amazing Episode! Can’t wait for the Finale! and for the Blu-Ray Version!

1286

i’m going to miss shane. the speech about how he was a better man than rick was really well acted. i have know idea how he turned into a zombie though and definitely not that quickly. i had thought he might have injected the prisoner with some zombie blood or something and then took him out to the woods to break his neck knowing that he would zombify. that doesn’t explain how shane got infected though… oh well, is next week the finale?

1287

Surprisingly enough the only gripe I have with the show, at the moment, are the zombies. Holy shit, they do things that mystify the fuck out of me continuously. From what little I read of the director interview (so not to spoil myself), it seems like he’s going to touch on it next episode. It’s probably going to be a cop-out, but I’m glad he’s acknowledging things, cause…omg. The invisible teleporting ninja zombie shit is tiring.

shit I don’t understand

[details=Spoiler]

-How the fuck does a group of zombies that large not make enough noise to startle everyone within a mile of them?

-Even more important, how the hell is Rick and Carl so close to them and yet they can’t hear them.

-Why on Earth was Carl the only person keeping watch? Seriously… [/details]

My idea as to why the horde is there next ep

[details=Spoiler]

In the very first episode, they demonstrated that the zombies did have fragments of their memories, from their humanity, locked into their brains somehow: as seen with the wife returning to the black dude’s house over and over again the very first episode. Maybe, they all visited the farm at some point to in the past and remembered it for some reason. Him being a pastor and all, I wouldn’t be surprised that it was his congregation.[/details]

Edit: Wait, is Hershel a pastor? I know he’s a holy man, but I can’t remember if he was or not. I’m probably making shit up. lol

So glad they actually gave a reason for Carl showing up somewhere he shouldn’t have been, for once. It’s a brief hint as to why he was where he was, but that makes so much more sense than him hopping in a warp pipe and falling out the fucking sky everywhere.

Darryl is gdlk. This guy is like a walking lie detector , CSI, and Turok all wrapped in one person. He better not die. >:( Glenn either for that matter.

The cinematography in this ep was boss like.

Shane…you will not be missed. I have no respect for dudes pussy whipped over their best friend’s girl. Even in the midst of an apocalypse, pussy is one of the number one reasons men die.

1288

Man that ending was so epic I had to see it twice. Good shit after a dull season.

1289

Sigh.

Guess I pin all my entertainment hopes on Darryl now.

1290

What’s still lost in the madness is Carl even after snitching on himself about wandering off alone and almost dying…somehow wanders off AGAIN in the night with no one noticing. Seriously Lori wtf were you doing at 9pm when every man in the house(except T DAWG) was out hunting in the woods?

Yes it is pretty odd that there’s a million zombie march 100 yards away and no one hears it. Somehow Carl can wander off into the night and survive while Dale couldn’t. I blame Lori and Rick for Dale’s death.

1291

Have I missed something about turning to a zombies :confused:
Or is this part of a bigger mystery, if so don’t tell me. :wonder:

1292

It’s pretty crazy how the actress that plays Maggie has an aussie accent.
She does the southerner pretty good.

1293

wait wait wait… Shane and Rick was that close to the farm?:wtf:

1294

edit* didn’t read the part where you said don’t tell you…so don’t click on the spoiler if you don’t want to read some theories about it :sunglasses:

Spoiler

apparently the rumor is that the doctor in the cdc told rick that 1. everyone is already infected or 2. that once you die you turn no matter what. like i said i ffw througha lot but i’m still not sure how shane turned either.

1295

comic difference rage

Spoiler

I was so pissed when Ricked knifed shane. I was like, “You can’t rob fucking Carl of the one moment that could redeem himself and be a turning point for his character.” Then I thought, “Well at least they didn’t make him show up in the middle of fucking nowhere magically” and then a minute later, he does show up magically anyway, only to shoot ZOMBIE shane instead of human shane. Motherfucker. It’s like the worst of both worlds.

Rick knows, he has to know. He double tapped bar dudes in the head to be sure for no reason. He killed Shane and was waiting around for him to turn. This has to be what the CDC dude already told him, “We’re all infected already. Death turns you regardless of how it happens.”

We actually saw hints of it already when that person was hung in the forest and was a zombie, when Daryl and Andrea stumbled upon it. I don’t know if it ties to Sophia or not though

But Robert Kirkman is on the Talking Dead next week so it will be good to get his thoughts on the season

1296

Fucking shit something significant actually happened in an episode.

1297

Yeah i kinda called the CDC doc telling Rick the reveal months ago. They need this reveal to be in the tv version, and sooner rather than later to further up the stakes. It also solves (mostly at least) future conversations about “oh boo hoo i want to die this world sux,” meaning the writers get to drop that entire horror trope and move past it.

The name of the final episode of the season being self-titled is all you need to know, Rick’s prison arc speech is coming ahead of schedule and we might get a flashback.

1298

They actually handled Carl showing up randomly, for once. He was staring at the same field, keeping watch, before Rick and Shane showed up. He probably saw Shane draw a gun on his father and decided to go see why. What I don’t get is how he made it out the house. I can imagine them being busy boarding up the place, but there shouldn’t have been many places to escape, unless he climbed out the window. Ole Solid Snake ass kid.

In the context of the show, I don’t think that scene in the comic would have worked. I dunno, I haven’t read the comics yet, but this was more about Rick having his final breakdown, while giving Carl a chance to “grow up”. This is probably going to fuck Rick up something serious.

1299

too late lol

1300

Last nights episode was awesome. I shouldn’t have read the spoilers to it last week lol. Supposedly the finale is even more epic.

That Mad Men commercial was hilarious: “Everyone drinks like Hershel used too!” :lol:
