The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I find the "I would have gone back for Rick" talk amusing. Can someone explain to me how exactly you would get Rick out of the hospital? Let's say you can actually get to the hospital (which by the way would be the absolute worst place to go given that's where "sick" people go first) how are you going to safely lug around someone on life support?

Lori is not cheating, she is surviving. She thought (and rightfully so) that her husband was dead, you saw the hospital in the first episode. You would just be sacrificing yourself and child trying to do something that is ultimately stupid.

I can easily explain it. Let's see if you understand it. First of all Rick was not on life support. He was in a coma of some sort (medically induced or otherwise) and had an IV hooked into him. That's it. All Lori had to do was go to Shane (since they are already such good friends) and ask for his help in getting Rick out of the hospital. Put the guy in a wheel chair and put him in the back of a car/truck/van and hide somewhere safe. Going into a hospital while not exactly safe - pales in comparison to Rick going into a city filled with zombies and yet that is what he did trying to find his wife and kid.

Lori is cheating - that's what you call having sex with someone else who isn't your spouse regardless of your rationalizations as to why it isn't. Rick is surviving - fighting off zombies trying to get back to her. If Lori is surviving by shacking up with Shane, then what is everyone else doing? Still amused?

Well since we have ONLY seen two episodes we have no clue. She could have been told he was dead, which basically just shuts down that theory. How about we watch the show some more.

Yeah... some peoples' theories here are going to have holes shot all in them in the first 10 minutes of EP103.

I'm going to keep watching. This is a great show and it has prompted so many great discussions/debates already that I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
I just find it a little insulting when someone says they find a theory "amusing" as if it is the silliest thing they ever heard. Clearly I am in the minority here as to not liking Lori or being able to relate to her character but I've been nothing but respectful of everyone's differing opinions and expect others to act the same.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

When Rick was leaving the hospital there were all kinds of military vehicles outside. And there were alot of dead bodies. Maybe the hospital was under quarantine. Maybe Lori tried to get Rick out, but was turned away by soldiers with guns. Or, in the confusion maybe she was told that Rick died. To be honest, I'm not liking Lori and I'm liking Shane less. But, i doubt Darabont will make it that simple, that black and white. The other thing is we haven't seen Rick and Lori together at all. We knew Rick mentioned they were having some marital problems. We are not privy yet to how long and how bad their problems may be.

All I am gonna say is Shane is a ******.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I see where you're going (though I can't view that video here at work)... Shane is more or less being used by Lori to ensure that Carl is protected. She's not so much sleeping with Shane because she's loose but because she's cares so much for her son.

Almost. I don't think she's using him as much as she's trying to keep him propped up. He's not up to the task of being the leader, I think she knows it, but he's the best they have and she knows losing him will be catastrophic.

While not exactly safe??? The first episode is still up on amc's website. You might want to go look at the condition of that hospital again.

Rick had no idea what he was doing going into the city, and if he did, I can bet you that he wouldn't have. What's he doing now that they've made it out of the department store? Getting out of the city.

Lori is cheating - that's what you call having sex with someone else who isn't your spouse regardless of your rationalizations as to why it isn't. Rick is surviving - fighting off zombies trying to get back to her. If Lori is surviving by shacking up with Shane, then what is everyone else doing?

Everyone else is having sex too. You're right. Lori should be celibate so she can devolve into an emotional wreck, so that her son can see how much of a basket case the only person he has left in the world is capable of becoming.

I think Shane put him in that coma....think about it. He was the last one Rick saw in the room...he walked out of frame, but not to the door.....bum bum buummm.....


Or not. I dunno. Lol.

I remember the condition of the hospital very well, but what we see is its condition AFTER the zombie apocalyspe. Shane and Lori could have gone to the hospital soon after things first started going bad and the hospital would not have been in that condition. Nefarius1 brings up a plausible theory that could help redeem Lori some. I also think Shane is worse than her because he is preying upon her grief to use her for sex. Still 3-4 weeks after a spouse's "death" is too soon in my book to be shacking up with someone else.

I bet you Rick would have still gone into the city to reach Lori and Carl even if he knew about the zombies. If you saw the scenes for this week's episode, Rick says he is going back for his bag of guns and the redneck guy. So I think it is safe to say he would risk alot more for his wife and son.

Everyone may or may not be having sex is just your assumption. So if what Lori and Shane are doing isn't wrong, then why hide it? Don't tell me that sex is the only way to keep your sanity in a situation like this.

Devil, it is clear that you and I see Lori through two very different sets of eyes. Let's just agree to disagree on this for now.

Which also makes perfect sense. He's also obviously someone she's known for awhile so it's safe to assume that a bond is going to form between the two rather quickly, post-apocalypse. I'm definitely off the "she's a whore" bandwagon

Yes, because you are way off base. So when a spouse thinks their significant other is dead they are never supposed to do anything but mourn because it will be called cheating? And I say again, you saw the hospital, there was no going into that. You are also saying that she should go with Shane and get Rick out, ok, where do you put Carl this whole time? You're not going to leave him alone while a zombie outbreak has occured, so obviuosly your saying that everyone's life should be risked so that your sense of self-rightousness can be preserved? That's just crazy to me.

I'm not being disresepctful of your opinion, as you've stated this is a good debate, but yourself and others want to characterize Lori as a whore and it is totally unfounded.
