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. | ||

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. Thanks for the comic alternative, seems interesting. What you say is definitely the 'probable course of events' - my point was that as long as everyone is safe (and since they survived til now by themselves with just one man handling the family zombies, I suppose they'll be safe with guns and way more manpower), why not just fucking let Hershel have his way?! Especially after he's taken care of you, after you killed his relative/friend/whatever (Otis) and so on. Accepting the possibility of "living dead" [literally corpses functioning with zero organs, vaguely excepting the brain and a few senses] means precisely that it's perfectly reasonable to also expect that after years and years, maybe, just maybe, there's the slim chance of a complete cure. Add this to the fact that Hershel was religious, and there's obvious reason in him trying to still take care of his zombiefamily. "Just in case", as he might put it. Same for Sophia - obviously her chances are slim as f (basically her only hope being to run into something/someone), but as long as you have like 20% ground left to cover and you're in a safe spot anyway - why refuse her those chances? Moving on, about Shane losing control - I don't think he went that batshit as some people believe. He saw the killing of the zombies as a necessity, so he forced the hand of the people around him instead of calling in the Council of fucking Elrond, where Rick could've probably persuaded everyone that killing the barn off isn't really necessary. So WP on his part. | ||

You can certainly say that his actions make sense but that doesn't change the fact that he would be the last person in this group I'd want to spend my zombie apocalypse with. I'm rather surprised so many people actually seem to like him. I am also wondering why hasn't anyone there point out the obvious route the survivors should take - find a nice farmhouse (or some small village) as far away from civilization as possible and wait till this thing blows over (about a year maybe?). All in all, I have enjoyed the second season thus far. The way they solved the ordeal with the missing girl was rather nicely done (+ I actually didn't see that coming). | ||

The world in the show isnt the same anymore and they need to change their way of thinking. Rick especially should have stood up for the group and told the guy they werent going to leave the farm. Yeah i think theyd survive longer under shane | ||

I feel like he'd be the one to move on to a big acting career from this show. He's done a really good job. The only thing I can think of being silly with him was the booze drinking in the shower last season, but that's the writers fault. | ||

tbh i loved s1, but felt like all of season 2 thus far can (and should have been) be compressed into 1 single episode. its disappointing. | ||
