Wow, you won't let this go huh?

Randall was blindfolded, but still has his other senses - like smell and hearing. Doesn't take a rocket scientist for him to figure out he is in someone's barn and that someone is fixing his leg. Now there are other farms around, but Herschel's is the only one who is a vet (person fixing his leg) and owns a farm.

Not to mention that Randall actually saw Herschel while he was a fence sammich. He may not have known him as Herschel, but probably knew him as Maggie's dad...the way most kids in school associate parents with the kids.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I'm really against this notion that Shane has to go... it's like wanting Darth Vader killed in a New Hope or Joker dead...

A hero is only as strong as his foil. I think Shane is a great character. Sure he's flawed and maybe a little delusional but he presents valid arguments and is a man of action.

Robert McKee, the great screenwriting guru, has said thet the most captivating characters are born from action. That's what I love about Shane... he acts. Im really hating this idea that he has to go. Berthnal has also been a great cast member.

He's not Darth Vader and he's not the Joker. It's reaching the boiling point. He's gotta go. He's stuck around a lot longer than he did in the comics. There will be new characters along the way.

I think people should stop looking at the tv show as having to conform to the graphic novels. Instead i wish people would just see this a chance for Kirkman to tell a newer and more interesting story that builds on the first and improves it. a 2.0 if you will.

Besides it'll be all that more surprising when the turns and twists happen if NOBODY knows them.

They have been making changes to the story and characters and we have gotten some twists not from the comic. So we're past the point of the TV show conforming to the comics 100%.

Some very interesting theories. What Nam said earlier about them already having it and that it comes to life either via bite or more natural death. Though, I would personally prefer they figure out a way for man kind to survive.

I've said it before but if Shane bites it that's ok by me and he can take Andrea as well. Both have moments where what they say is true but they just tend to piss me off more than anything.

I love where the TV series is going now.

The first season had a lot of character development, of course, this is typical. Now we know where each stands and their take on the zombie apocalypse. This was slow and dragged on a bit, but such is the nature of understanding the characters.

Midway through season two and now we're seeing a lot more action as the tension begins to rise and surviving becomes increasingly difficult.

Since, the TV series is not following the book as closely, I'd like to see some dramatic departure from the literature. Something no one is expecting. A nice surprise for everyone.

Yup, useless to defend or protect anyone. What is he going to use? Harsh language?

What does he do when Andrea is on watch (which was Dale's primary job)? ?

Can't wait for him to die.

I really hope he doesn't. It'll suck to see one of the only people in the group who is worth something other than what they can do when there's a threat.

If that's true, it's a complete shame that it didn't give him the ability to adapt to the new world. He's proving to be more of the type that needs people to keep him alive than someone capable of self preservation. While Dale's idea of that term might be different than Shane's, in the world they live in, he's proving to be more of a liability, than anything else, let alone, the love interest to Andrea he's hoping to be.

You're right. He should have adapted to Shane's total disrespect for the man who offered them safe haven and saved Carl's life. The only people who understand how to live now are the one's that weak idealist Rick shot in the bar. It's too bad Shane wasn't there to back them up.

Seeing as we'll probably get a 4th and maybe 5th season with how well the show is doing. I hope eventually in a future season they have a few episodes in the snow. I wonder if a whole season could be a 'winter' or 'cold' season.

Oh man, LOL! Extremely slow moving Walkers. They may call them "Stumpers" since I can see feet and legs breaking off. What limited movement some of them have will be pretty slowed down, some may freeze in place. Can you the Spring Stench when they start thawing out, leaving chunks behind?

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

The effects of the changing seasons on the Walkers was explored in the comics. Perhaps the dialogue between Rick and Shane in the car is a way to lead up to that.
And about time they started to realise that gunshots just bring in more Walkers.

Oxymoronic. Going with your last point, Shane doesn't have to die. At least not right now. As Kirkman stated, this is a completely different beast from the comics. And it's better for it.

You're right. He should have adapted to Shane's total disrespect for the man who offered them safe haven and saved Carl's life. The only people who understand how to live now are the one's that weak idealist Rick shot in the bar. It's too bad Shane wasn't there to back them up.

Even Hershall admitted that Shane's method was the wake-up call he needed. It embarrassed him so much he ran off like a _____ to drown his sorrows in alcohol instead of stick around where we was needed. And when asked by Hershall to zip it, Shane complied, so this argument's just as thin an your heartthrob argument of Lori being a good person and a loving, faithful wife (she's a lying whore who'll use anybody to get what she wants). Additionally, don't lose sight of the fact that the man you're inferring is a monster is just as responsible for Carl living as Hershall.

Though admittedly I cringed at the driving scene with Glen and Rick. Loaded or not, you don't put the barrel of a shotgun that ____ing close to your dome.

It woke him up. It wasn't a 'necessary' change without which people couldn't survive.

It embarrassed him so much he ran off like a _____ to drown his sorrows in alcohol instead of stick around where we was needed.

Uh huh. After watching his wife cut down by a snot-nosed redneck pig and having his hopes of getting her back crushed so fast he probably got whiplash, embarassment was what drove him back to the bottle.

And when asked by Hershall to zip it, Shane complied

Because he got told and he knew no one was going to back him up. Do you think if he thought he could get away with telling Hershel where to shove it, he would have kept his contrary opinion to himself?

so this argument's just as thin an your heartthrob argument of Lori being a good person and a loving, faithful wife (she's a lying whore who'll use anybody to get what she wants).

You been cheated on before or something?

Additionally, don't lose sight of the fact that the man you're inferring is a monster is just as responsible for Carl living as Hershall.

Right. And Hitler gave us Volkswagens so I shouldn't rush to judgment.

The respirator that Shane brought was useless without Hershel. Implying he's equally responsible is not accurate. Also, implying that Shane electing to murder Otis was necessary to save Carl's life ignores every other possible course of action that Shane could have taken that night. Defining the change in social conditions that the zombies have brought as 'killing whoever you have to to survive' is the way of thinking that is threatening invasion by hostile humans to the farm. It is what threatened Rick, Glenn and Hershel in the bar, and hunted them afterwards. It is not what people need to accept as an integral part of their survival codes. It is what they have to fear most. Walkers are a lesser threat compared to humans who have no respect for the lives of other humans.
