Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. | ||

Season one was great, but so far this season is just painfully slow. | ||

Damn you've got me then! Although I was never under the impression that it was recommended to prevent "swallowing," but rather severe lacerations. Oh well. | ||

I guess that's what happens when the directors change The first season wasn't really "actiony" either, not sure what you're talking about here. The comics aren't really "actiony" either to be honest. | ||

I mean, it was horrible, and he probably should've shot him in the head instead, but he kind of didn't really have a choice beyond "its either me or him" what shane did looks incredibly tame in comparison to some of the shit people did as depicted in the comics. Whether or not AMC will show this stuff on TV is another question...

Episode was pretty good, but I'm honestly pissed they're taking this "shane is evil" turn. It's so dumb that they would take this turn after he was a great friend before the apocalypse and it's not like leaving Rick wasn't what everyone else would have done, the fucking army was killing uninfected living people in that hospital. He's definitely one of the better actors and it pisses me off that they're probably going to turn him into a villain. Yeah, he touched Lori in a bad spot which is awful, but he was extremely intoxicated and they'd previously been lovers so when you're drunk the line is heavily blurred. That doesn't make it alright, but it does mean he's human and that he makes stupid mistakes, especially when drunk. It also makes no sense that he wouldn't just Otis in the head. Oh well, I'm still enjoying it, I just don't like where they're going with Shane. | ||

He's had some conflicts, such as pointing his gun at Rick and attacking Lori at the CDC, but both were understandable and he didn't cause any real harm. Now he killed Otis, mainly because he needed a way to escape to save Carl. As far as I could tell, had he not shot Otis they both would have been eaten and Carl would have died too. He could have possibly sacrificed himself to save Otis, and killing the poor guy is definitely a screwed up thing to do, but I think he was just afraid and under pressure. | ||

Agreed I don't see Shane being evil in this last episode. I see it more of us seeing he will do w/e it takes to save the people he loves. I hope he doesn't turn into a villian type character of the bunch though. | ||

He's definitely being set up as a tragic villain in the show, but I like the direction the show is going in, it's really setting up lines that aren't clear-cut which is interesting. Shane has had some questionable moments, but by and large I can't really look at him as a despicable character. If I were in his position, it wouldn't be too difficult to justify shooting Otis, after all, you're in the situation you're in because of him. However, for the character himself, you can slowly see that some of these things will continue getting to him and the guilt may eventually break him down and cause him to turn into a villain. As for not shooting Otis in the head, having an injured person slowly crawling on the floor while bleeding out would likely attract more attention than a cadavre. Was it a dick move? Yes. If I were to do it, I would likely have shot him in the head, but overall I can understand why he made the decision. | ||
