Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Something being tossed about in another group I frequent. Nothing to back it up just speculation. Just imagine if the little girl was hiding at the school and seen what Shane did to Otis. I could see it happening.

Awww, shyyt. Now you just opened up a whole new can of worms.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Shane's death in the show would be more meaningful than it was in the book, esp if they continue down the diseased/rabid dog path. For once though I called it, as oppposed to my wife - she usually figures out plot points miles ahead of me. :lol

We NEED Michone! :pray:
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

How can it be a delusion?

They had enough time to fight after Otis went down. Shane panicked. He thought he had less time than he did, but if he had enough to shoot Otis, get his hair caught in Otis' fist, grapple with him, unsheath his knife and finally break free, they both had enough time to escape.

I realize that's open to interpretation, though.

I'm not defending Shane, just that self preservation will make someone do crazy stuff.

True enough. And in certain situations, there is no moral option. When both alternatives are evil, you cannot hold a person responsible. The concentration camps were rife with situations like that. Kill a man in cold blood in front of his wife and children, or watch your wife and children be killed in front of you. Suppose you kill the man; there's no guarantee whatsoever that the guards will not still kill your family. There is no right answer in those situations, but even though the choice has no moral implications, it has the effect of rendering the decision maker amoral. Inhuman, as it were.

I personally think that Shane was not in such a position. I think he was too quick to take the cold-blooded option. Either way, he's dead on his feet. The only question is whether he will deserve it when his action comes full circle or not. That it will is guaranteed, as it would be for anyone.

You bring up a good point. How will anyone ever know what Shane did? He can either confess, keep quiet, or someone else will come forward as a witness. I don't think it will be Sophia though as I don't see how she could have been in the school or surrounding area. Maybe another survivor we have yet to meet? Besides, Sophia is being held prisoner by the Governor.

I think Sophia being there is the only way we could see anyone but Shane telling the others what happened. Any adult that said they were there and saw it would have to explain why they didn't help. Perhaps a stranger? But that would be down the road a bit.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Personally, I have a hunch Carl will end up killing Shane like in the comics by season's end.

That's what I'm thinking as well...maybe next season, but I think it'll happen.

WTF Shane! Good God would a head shot be too much to ask? He's totally gone mentally, he WILL become a big problem very soon. Things are gonna explode. I can understand his determination to get Carl his supplies but DAMN that was SO wrong. Poor Otis.

It was talked about in Talking Dead as to why Shane shot Otis in the leg instead of the head...he needed live bait. Personally I can't say what I would have done in that situation until I was acutally there...but from the outside looking in, Shane did a ****** move.

I hope we get some answers on Sophia, really hope they don't drag it out all season.

Agreed. :lecture

SHANE IS A VERY BAD MAN

:lol :lol :lol

Damn, that was a strong episode.

As soon as Shane came back alone, I had a feeling that's what happened. As to why he shot Otis in the leg instead of the head, live bait's always a bigger draw.

Very strong episode! :lecture

Best episode of the season so far.

Totally would've done what Shane did too. Don't forget, it was Otis who shot Carl in the first place. Otis shouldn't have been going to a potential walker hotspot given his physical shape.

But Otis didn't shot Carl on purpose. It was an accident...IMO, Otis didn't deserve to go out like that.

We NEED Michone! :pray:

ABSOLUTELY!!
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Late to the convo, and nothing new to add :lol Loved the episode though :rock
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

And after the third Talking Dead, I'm done watching that waste of a half hour. Seriously, half the time I'm wondering if they watched the episode, and the other half wondering why they are on there in the first place. Heder? Seriously?
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I hope they don't give Shane a redeeming moment - instead, let him spiral down into a damaged character who finally must be stopped for the sake of the group. Let Rick kill him, as a big character movement moment for him. Shane can even pull the "after all I've done for you" card.

But that's just me...

This.
Shane has done some despicable things but he always had a redeeming quality to him until last night. And everything he does becomes more extreme. Beating Ed was just his way of blowing off steam cause Lori rejected him, not because Ed was abusive. Aiming the gun at Rick also showed his downward spiral but he was able to bring himself back to reality and when he tried to force himself on Lori, he seemed genuinely shocked when he came to but still there was always something that said he's not evil, but just an ass but now I think he's finally slipped and there will be no going back. I think Shane is gonna be the series bad guy for awhile and that they're gonna build him up so that you just want to see him get it. Like I said though I can easily see myself doing what he did to a stranger especially if I'm exausted and running for my life and I was beginning to panic, but to be honest, once the deed was done and I'm out of harms way and I have time to reflect on what I did, I'd probably very seriously consider blowing my own head off however, judging by the way Shane's eyes and expression looked, I doubt he's gonna loose much sleep.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Carl become a bit unhinged in the comics already? I think they're gonna set it up Shane's death as a turning point for Carl. I think Carl will end up killing Shane protecting Rick or Lori but with all the violence around him as well as his own brush with death, I think Carl is gonna become very desensitized afterwords.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

no one has mentioned the scene of the
guy hanging from the tree. when they first walked up and the branches were shaking......that freaked me out a bit. from the zombie itself with him struggling and darryl's apparently accurate explanation of the legs being stripped to the negotiations of his final fate
the whole scene from start to finish was just brilliant imho. gave me chills.

That scene was awesome. Darryl is the best part of the show right now, he needs more screen time.

Carl has become so desensitized in the comics. I think that if they go along the line from the comic where Carl kills Shane it will be set up as a major turning point for him.
