Haha. What a waste of good meat though.

[thruby]

injured chickens is a "major" gripe? i get it, but come on.

anyway, this episode was ****ing awesome. changed my whole opinion on Sophia and that ****ty storyline.

i'm so torn between wanting Shane to die and loving Shane.

****. ****ing February? god dammit!

HOLY F**K! What an awesome episode! My jaw literally dropped when I heard that final zombie groan in the barn. And I loved how the episode was very Rick-centric. Shane was making comments about Rick not being able to make the hard decision but this esisode showed that he is the first to react when it comes to impossible decisions. He was the first person to save Sophia...both times.

And yeah...FEBRUARY!? What the ass!?

[Humpzilla]

Great episode last night, for all the right reasons. But damn....a month.

Great episode and thank god the Sophia sh1t is done. That episode made me like Shane a lot cause finally someone did something about the zombies in the barn.

crazy Shane has me thinking that he doesn't need to die... yet. he still needs to die, because it plays a HUGE part in the story, but i really like that dude who plays him. when he was screaming at Andrea and his scene at the barn have made me really enjoy his work. hell, he's one of the only actors i like on the show!

one of my other favorites, Daryl, had one of the most unfortunate scenes of the series in that stable. god, was that awful. 'i can't go look for your daughter?! fine, i'll throw this saddle! owwww, my wounds!!!!' and the beginning, oh my god; when Glenn looked at Maggie and she shook her head, he looks to Dale and he nods his head... holy ****, guys. we get it. Dale thinks he should tell the group, Maggie doesn't. did we need that scene, let alone such an OBVIOUS ONE?! bleh. and the rotten egg that Maggie put in Glenn's hat was terrible.

finally, some ****ing development. it took long enough, but in the end it was pretty worth it. after making this season such a drag, i enjoyed how the sophia saga went down.

if there's one thing this show does, its been leaving you wanting more. ive complained about this season.... yet, i still can't wait to watch it on sunday nights.

after basically sutting off daryl's balls, it was nice to se some fire from a character. shane losing it, was a very welcome sight for me. someone needed to lose it. if it did anything, it looked to wake rick the **** up out of his coma. i think it made him say to himself " this is my group, and i have to take it back".

after reading this thread, i've in a way learned to just let a lot of **** slide in this show. it's best to take it for what it is, and it made it a lot easier to get through the show last night. if you look for mistakes, or scenes you find corny you could complain til your facd turns blue (or in this case type til your fingers bleed).

i can't wait for next season... maybe we'll finally get some action scenes that we've all longed for. the group seems like it will now toughen the **** up, and take the world for what it really is.

I love that the show has built his character up much more than the book, which will only help make his death even more thunderous. I have to so though, I think Shane sealed his fate when he gave Carl a gun. He told Carl to keep his mother safe.

**** yeah, dude. agreed completely.

i thought this was a pretty god damn interesting comment on the show as a whole:

It could be argued that the utter pointlessness of this entire period was, in fact, the point: that there is no safe haven, that lost things (or children) can’t be found again, that everything always ends in violence, that everything always ends. Except such weighty proclamations would sound false even emerging from Hershel’s God-fearing lips; they’re cynical and unearned. A television series isn’t a comic book and it isn’t a video game: It, like a zombie, is in perpetual motion, always in search of more plot to devour. If the characters have nowhere to go, then there’s no reason for us to go along with them.

it's from an INCREDIBLY negative review of the first chunk of the second season. i 'complain' a lot on here, but i only do so because otherwise all my posts would be, "LOL! that zombie kill was SICK!" and that's no fun. negativity fuels discussion, in my opinion, and often times positivity encourages agreement.

anyway, here's the link. i don't agree with everything he said, but he makes some very valid points.

I just watched the episode now because I'm a Steeler fan and had to watch the game last night. Great episode. Was a great way to end the Sophie saga, and really made you see the "point of view" from both sides (that being both crazy Shane and crazy Herschel). Hate to wait until February, but I am excited. I have never read any of the comics, and I have been pretty happy with the show, especially when compared to most of the crap on TV. My suggestion to those that have read the comics is to just relax and enjoy. Don't try to compare to the comics, or anticipate what is coming. Just appreciate the show for what it is, entertaining and different. If you think it is bad, watch real housewives or some other crap and I'm sure it will get your mind back in good spirits.

[GODARDNYI]

i haven't looked forward to a show this much since i was a kid.

to those of you who read the comics: would you rather have read the comics look forward whats going to happen?...or would you rather have had no idea what's going to happen?

as a huge fan of comics, i am really glad that i have been reading the books for as long as i have. they are tremendous, better than the show, in my eyes, and it's not even that close.

on the other hand, i'm really glad that the show has thrown some curve balls in there because it's kept me looking forward to each episode. i think having Robert Kirkman (the creator of the books) working closely on the show has kept it fresh, while keeping the 'nods' to the old fans too. that was by far the best idea they had when starting this show up.

[Hagstrom]

Ya, I'm glad it's not completely like the comics, because that would get pretty boring, knowing exactly what will happen.

I cannot wait for February now, holy crap
