Damn I feelt ricks pain in this one. Someone make a screenshot of the the last shot in the episode. That scene was wallpaper worthy.

Rick could do it alone as a single dad.

The way they are beating our heads with this, "He wasn't bit" stuff is driving the point home that you don't need a bit to be a zombie; big who cares. This better not be Jenner's secret.

What was with the zombie flashes right before Shane was going to change?

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

The latter part of the season is really starting to stink of lazy writing. Not sure if they were trying to make it look like a "sacrifice" which it sorta did, but it amounts to lazy writing. "How do we solve all these problems in 3 episodes?!" I've no doubt now, Jenner's "secret" is going to be the underwhelming "We'll all be zombies" speculation. Hardly something worth a season's worth of hype.

This reminds me of the SOA season finale which was equally underwhelming and lacked any sort of real depth and storytelling.

Haven't had a problem with the writing myself. I've personally enjoyed every episode and its been on mark for me.

Almost seems like they would've had a more epic finale, letting Randall escape and lead his little band to the farmhouse, the shooting attracts the zombies which kill off the group but inadvertently put the rest in danger and have Shane and Dale work past their differences and sacrifice themselves to let the rest of the group escape a herd.

If only everybody were so easily appeased.

Great episode!

I loved every minute of it especially...

Spoiler

Shane getting stabbed and eventually Carl shooting him. I also enjoyed seeing Daryl do his thing and figure out that Shane was full of BS.

The walker horde coming from behind the hill will be intense next week!

Shane's death really fell flat for me. I thought that inevitable showdown would be much more interesting, but it just felt a bit forced and anti-climactic.

Wow, I thought it was a powerful scene.

Spoiler

Rick's anguish over having to shoot his best friend was very powerful for me. Didn't feel forced or flat for me.

Daryl is just awesome. The tracking and seeing the neck snap with no bites enforces his place as They Better Not Kill Me Off.

I am noticing a polarization occurring among TWD fans. Those you have been following the comics for years who are getting mad that the show isn't following them and those who have only seen the TV show and are perfectly happy with the way things are going down.

Agreed. Shane's death is the 2nd most powerful scene for me behind the group finding Sophia.

Two probelms with that

1.) Shane is not the self sacrificing type.

2.) Dale is/was useless.

I'm just looking to be entertained and it does that.

Rick didn't shoot him, he stabbed him.

Lori looked up at the windmill and made her derpy little face and you could just tell this was all coming, don't know why they want us to hate her so much, shes up there with Debra from Raymond and the Malcom in the Middle woman in terms of annoyance tho.

I disagree. Don't even see where either one of you are coming from.

Spoiler

Rick knew he was going to die whether he drew or not. He lulled Shane into a false sense of security by giving up his gun. When Shane was distracted he drew his knife. Don't know why this is considered boring or weak. Also stuck true to the comic by Carl shooting Shane. It may have been zombie Shane but I think it would have caused a stink on tv an adolescent gunning down a policeman.

I've read every issue of the comic and don't have any issues with the show, aside from Lori sucking. I like that it's not following the comics to a T, because that would mean there would be no surprises for me. When things do happen similarly to how they do in the comics, there's just enough of a twist to make them fresh. Like what happened tonight.
