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. | ||

Honestly, they could have cast some of the characters a bit better, but so far it hasn't been too bad. I just think the series could have been done better in many parts (except for the zombie visual fx - that shit is air tight.) | ||

Writers (good writers) illustrate complex characters and people feel whatever way they want. People can identify with all kinds of different things, and like or dislike different characters or parts of characters. | ||

It's good that they have a break now because with all the zombies the last 2 episodes they are probably broke so they need to collect some money to be able to use more zombies next half of the season! you do know that the show is already done entirely right? they shoot a tv show like a year before it actually airs.... | ||

And probably a reference to the fact that they had massive budget cuts and the studio suggested just hearing zombies occasionally and not seeing them to save on make-up. | ||

I don't think he snapped nor did he act out for the safety of others. It all starts when lori tells him that it's not his baby and even if it is he can't do anything about it. he tries to talk about how rick isn't cut out and in endangering them but is shot down. This is where I believe he makes the decision to let the zombies out in order to force rick into failing at making more hard decisions and thus proving that he's not cut out to be the leader. He walks off but is stopped by carl who displays exactly how much he's been influenced by rick which further solidifies shane's resolve to let the zombies out of the barn/topple rick. where does he go from here? directly to look for the guns which is where I think he was heading before being stopped by carl for a second. In the episode prior he said to dale(I believe) he'd do anything to protect his family after this episode that includes killing or toppling rick. To me this episode has a deeper meaning it's the episode where shane has decided to turn against rick. rick even calls out to him as brother and is ignored. | ||

That being said, I kinda like the character, and it all played pretty well in the end (didn't predict the kid will be up in the barn). Point A was addressed in the last season at the CDC.....he said 'there is no cure'. Also, Shane proved the point that they are dead by shooting her 5 times in the chest and heart. Even if there was a cure, it would be to stop people turning...I don't think it would be able to bring them back...after all they are the 'walking dead'...meaning they're reanimated corpses. The Zombies here are not like in I am legend or 28 days later...these are dead people walking the Earth, meaning that there is NO cure...What I would like to see is if the whole world was affected or just america, would be well cool to know. Point B is kind of ok, however I feel that if Hershal new then he should have said something to them....saying that he knows she's in the barn or that they took a little girl in. They should have been honest with the situation from the start...that MAY have calmed them down a little, maybe not. I feel the characters ALL have their roles to play in the future. Shane is becoming more badass but is also losing some of his humanity, Shane is trying to hold on to his as best he can, holding on to his morals and stuff....the others we don't see enough of, though I think Dale is falling in love with that chick and Andrea is starting to turn more into Shane. The one thing I don't like is the fact that Hershal and his family were so welcoming. I believe there has been shows with people in a siotuation like this where 1 group identity becomes so ingrained that it becomes almost impossible for them to take in another group. Maybe it had something to do with the boy being shot but thats the only reason I could see it. Though after a while I could see humanity coming into play and accepting them as part of their own group, something hershal should have done early on to promote harmony between the people. After all, this isn't just about his group and their group, but humanity in general. | ||

You can really tell how much he cares for that kid, and how he'd do anything to protect him and Lori, and he proved he would in this episode. | ||

That being said, I kinda like the character, and it all played pretty well in the end (didn't predict the kid will be up in the barn). There is no cure, I don't see how it would be reasonable to expect something to bring back the living dead. A vaccine wouldn't bring back those who have already turned. An alternative for what happened in the show is present in the comics. + Show Spoiler [Not a show spoiler. Comic alternative…] + In the comic, while Hershel is trying to rope a new zombie into the barn, they all break out and kill like half his family, this makes him realize that he was wrong about the Walkers. So yes, I feel that Hershel was being delusional and incredibly stupid for leaving a barn full of zombies 5 minutes away from camp. He would eventually have had too many in there to the point where they would break out, or have fucked up putting the new ones in there. Also, had Dale hidden the guns in the swamp and had Shane not stopped him, the group would have likely suffered devastating losses if the comic incident had occurred. As for Sophia, Shane was just being realistic. After the third day, I pretty much figured she'd either has to be dead or a complete fucking badass to survive out there alone. Considering that Sophia was pretty meek and not particularly impressive in dealing with zombies it was more than likely that she was dead. | ||

That being said, after 7 episodes of pretty mundane and frustrating characters/plot, the final barn scene was gorgeous and amazing. | ||

After the CDC thing its unreasonable to expect someone can make a cure for the thing. And it was also kinda logical that the girl was dead; leave a random small girl on a forest. Do you expect her to survive if she doesn't run into anyone? Now add a bunch of zombies. | ||
