So long as paper bags and muzzles still exist after the zombie apocalypse. No offense to the actress but she got a crap role of playing the stupidest ***** in the show.


I'll agree with that. I don't care if the recently deceased is a family member or not, I'm putting a bullet through that head and burying the body BEFORE it turns. Same deal with her wanting to stay in the self destructing building, I'd be like 'later!'.

Well good, it's about time that happened.

Next week looks like it'll be a blood bath

I dont think they're going to be able to pull off the prison part of the story. I mean... It's pretty ****** up. Then again if following the books shane would have been dead long long ago.

Well I became so intrigued by your comments, that I went to Wikipedia and read the plot lines for every episode in season 1 and 2. Why do I do this to myself...

I find it amusing how trolls just can't resist posting in a thread they have no interest in. Why bother if all you want to do is be an ass? Do people actually like being known for being an ass?

I found all my old comics for The Walking Dead. I only have up through #78 but it was good to read through them again. I am seeing a lot of stuff that, despite the fact that they have already broken some gruesome boundaries for cable TV, may not be doable in the show. Such as the prison.

I think the reason they didn't have Carl kill Shane in the show as a human is because they couldn't get away with letting a kid shoot a living person with a gun. So they have Rick kill Shane first with a knife and then let Carl kill Shane again as a zombie to get around it. Pretty clever, I loved it!

I have not read the books but that sounds interesting considering how emotional they portrayed Lori and Carl over Shane's death in last weeks episode.

Also everyone commenting about how the prison will be impossible to televise, yet clearly it is coming next season. Anyone able to comment on why they think it can't be shown without spoiling anything?

Yeah...they are doing the prison next season for sure. I think some of the things from the comics that occur in the prison might be a bit much but I guess we will see. So far they have just been working around things. Like a kid (Carl) shooting a live person (Shane). In the comics Carl killed Shane outright. They worked around that in the show because they couldn't have a kid with a gun shooting a living person. I think they will do the same with the prison. Either way...I look forward to it. Just wish I didn't have to wait until October.

I guess I am not understanding why that would be so taboo?

Actually she had two "pets". Both are missing their arms and jaw. In the comics they are her father and boyfriend.

Psycho indeed...

After we've already seen child zombies shot in the head, I'm not sure a child shooting a man who is trying to kill his father is a big deal.

I think it is about sending the wrong message. A child who sees the show might think it is ok to shoot someone under "special" circumstances. Not saying a child should ever see this show by any means...it is all about perception. Anyway...I read somewhere that they killed Shane the way they did specifically because they were restricted in letting a child shoot a living human.

Actually come to think of it, it might have been mentioned on "Talking Dead".

I will say that after the opening scene of the zombie child shot in the head, it certainly set the tone of the show.

Yeah defiantly going to have to tone down some of the prison stuff when it gets to it... Then again some of that stuff relied on characters not in the show or already dead...So..

I guess I just don't see the relevant difference between a child shooting an adult and an adult shooting an adult or an adult shooting a child. Never crossed my mind that one would be ok and the other not.

Anyways, LOVE the show. Can't wait until season 3 although the coming opening of MLB will help with the wait. :)
