Glenn is an idiot... that is all.

On many levels. I think this is leading up to something big for him in the next few episodes though.

Agreed. I think this season is going to get very interesting. Shane vs Rick is coming to a head (especially now that Rick "crossed" the line in town, and his wife is using her charms).

There needs to be an increase of zombie shooting I think.

Last few episides were good, but time for some good old fashion shoot em' up!

I have very much enjoyed the last 4 episodes. The second season was looking like a failure until those.

They need to get off the farm. That's played out already. Herschel can't make 'em leave so I'm guessing it'll become overrun. What do you guys think is going to happen with this rick and Shane stuff.

Unless Shane takes the blonde chick and goes off on his own it'll be a bromance renewed for them.

I don't know how they are going to play out the shane saga. They've played him into a corner. he's become such the "bad guy" that there isn't much option. One problem I see already is that they are going to run out of people really soon.

I'd like to see if they are going to bring the black guy and his kid from the first episode back into the mix. They just kind of dropped that whole angle.

Agree that the farm scenario is overplayed already.

Well in the graphic novel, Shane was long dead by this time. So how far they go is anyones guess!

At the end of season one wasn't there a scene with Rick talking on the radio, hopefully getting thru to this guy? He'll be back, my guess is in the season finale.

I think Rick will continue to struggle with his conscience/compassion towards the living. He crossed the line at the bar when he killed the living to save the living. His wife will continue to push him to take out Shane because she doesn't want the conflict about the baby (which we all know is Shane's).

The farm will be over-run and some conflict with the other group of survivors will have to take place. They'll get some information from the kid with the bum leg.

The redneck is continuing to distance himself from the group, his ear collection will eventually get the better of him and he will be a walker from secondary contact...

These are called walking dead "webisodes", they are pretty darn good.

You can go to each link or watch the first one and then hit the next.

I give that a big thumbs up!

Francis

Don't over think it, here is what I want to happen:

Leave the farm due to being compromised and have to fight their way out.

After facing insurmountable odds that require innovative techniques to eradicate the undead, the greatest aspects of Americanism comes out and through ingenuity and perseverance they overcome the zombie hoard to live another day.

But in the end, they'll probably revert to gun control among the group and get some people killed.

Cheers!

Look for the one armed brother to come back in a big, big way. I swear, i was hoping that windshield zombie would have taken a bite out of Lori. Sick of her whining and being a overall buzzkill.

Francis

02-20-2012, 10:56 PM

I wanted Lori to get bit but then keep her in the barn to see if she would have a zombie baby!

Then Rick would be off the hook for wasting Shane, after all he'd be zombie dad.

seaninmich

I definitely thought of the zombie baby angle. i hope they pursue it at some point.

OH, and are we ever going to find out what the guy from the CDC whispered in rick's ear right before they blew the place to bits?

Not until they loose funding and have to resort to a "Wrap it Up" episode to conclude it. :)

I was definately thinking the baby zombie thing too when Lori wrecked her car. I think it would be great if her chatacter turned into a zombie then Rick could go find some younger, hotter chick with bigger boobs to look at during the episodes that just are not quite up to par.

That would not be a bad plot twist.

Season three has already been signed and sealed. They even have 4 extra episodes.

Not to give away the ending or anything, but Rick will wake from his coma in the hospital and realize it was all a dream...

Then he rushes home to find that Lori has married Shane, the baby is Shane's and has grown up to be a skin head who watches Zombie movies all day while he cleans his guns and gives Lori evil looks.

I think it'll end up in a battle between the necrophiliacs and the zombies. After a bunch of zombie humping and gnawed off appendages the zombies win.

Here's a question...

Why don't the zombie's eat everything? When the group was looking for the girl they encountered a guy who hung himself. The suicide/swinger/walker had no flesh on his legs. Why do the walkers leave a meal to chase a live person? In the webisode the mother gets half eaten and they leave the rest. I don't get it. Seems like they would devour the entire body rather than just half.

I guess if they ate everything the zombie population would be finite. Only those that get bitten and get away would be the new crop.

It wouldn't be as exciting tv!

"It wouldn't be as exciting tv! "

This!
For the same reason our heroes still drive around in a broke-back RV and scavenge for .44 mag rounds when there were dozens of abandoned Humvee's, M4's and useful military equipment laying all over the place back at the CDC. If any of us were actually in that situation, the show would be really short,violent and x-rated.

My wife asked me that about half way into the first season - why not just wait until the zombies ate all the dead bodies, starved, and then return to the cities? She has a point.

Personally, I'd let Shane have Lori and then I'd run off with Andrea.

I think the living and the zombies will soon realize that the one true enemy to civilization is attorneys and they will join forces to annihilate them. :)

Zombies have no use for lawyers, not even for food. Sharks will eat lawyers though, but only as a last resort.

Nah, I've seen sharks and divers in the water together... they leave each other alone as a matter of professional courtesy.

So here I think we are so far:
1. Lori and Shane need to be "resolved" in some zombie situation.
2. A "hot" large booby chick will be introduced, and Rick can capitalize.
3. the characters need to get wise to the sweet gear available in a zombie apocalypse and get some good kit.
4. and this is for me; Some serious zombie killin' needs to take place showcasing the greatness of American ingenuity in an seemingly inescapable situation through leadership and application of good old American FIREPOWER!

Last episode made me want Andrea to get swarmed by a group of walkers.

Oh, and what happened to the rest of the characters?

I was disappointed, to say the least, that Rick went back to save Shane.

I would like to swarm Andrea like a group of walkers myself.

Rick went back because some part of him believes that the baby is Shane's, not his.

I don't get the Dr death attitude though. She is still goofy from the loss of her sister. But she would probably go like a wild animal with her loss of moral clarity.

Shane is the anti-christ quite possibly
