Interesting symmetry that Carl's little excursion to the dark side ended up saving one life (for now), but then costing another. Can't really blame the kid for wandering around getting into trouble, after all he has no Iphone, no Game Boy, not even television and video games to keep him out of trouble.

Carl def needs a huge a** beating, not a stupid speech by Rick. He's turned into a little smart a** punk, but at the same time i'm loving how they've turned the innocents & curiosity of a child into something so dark and inhuman. In the scene where rick is about to shoot the kid and carl walks in, i was expecting carl to start crying and or say "don't do it dad" or something like that, but het just looked stone faced and said "do it, do it dad"..... Awesome

I think him crying into his mom's stomach kinda knocked some sense into him.

 

This show can go in so many different directions that they can do seasons upon seasons with just the non characters lives. ie, the black guy and his son, the latino family, Earl, the latin janitor and his old folks home

Dale may have been the last "human" voice in the group, but he had absolutely no common sense, and in my opinion never provided anything positive. I think Shane nailed it on the head when he said "If I ever need a radiator hose fixed, I'll give you a call." That seems to be all Dale ever did....and let's face it, if Dale wasn't there they wouldn't be driving the RV that broke down His opinion to keep the boy alive either puts a huge burden on the entire group, or puts them in serious danger. I understand that being "human" gives you a reason to live, but I'd rather be "inhuman" then literally be killed.

 

I SERIOUSLY think that the dude they were going to execute will somehow turn into a HUGE issue for them. Why else would they let him live?!

 

And I hope that Shane lives for quite some time, he's definitely fit for that world.

Amusing cartoon. Some inside showbiz type humor.

T-Dog really does need some more dialog. He is seriously underutilized. I haven't heard him really say boo since his arm was injured and he was delirious.

By the way, the LAST thing the show needs is a reappearance of the latin gang/old folks home. That may have been the hokiest thing the show ever did. Menacing gangs are really nice, caring people after all. How touching and pc. Bleccch.

lol it's true about T-Dog. I was reading through some Walking Dead drinking games one day, and some of them have the rule that if T-Dog actually talks, you drink. He doesn't get many lines. Especially lately.

I'm still wondering about the dead guards they shot when they went to drop off the kid. Shane clearly states that he can't find any bite marks. I wonder what's up with this.

They had scratches from the zombies.

I don't think they ever found scratches. Shane says they're not bitten. Rick says they must have scratches. It's never shown.

I'm pretty sure Rick was pointing out where he sees scratches on the guards when they were examining them.

I told you all...no bite marks. This episode was pretty good. Can't wait to see what the season finale has in store.

What an episode!

How did the cops die then?

I don't know maybe they offed themselves with a bunch of pills. Don't know but I'm pretty sure there were no bites. I'll rewatch it this week. Maybe this is what the scientist whispered to Rick at the CDC.

No, he whispered that his wife was pregnant.

Starved to death, maybe?

Pretty clear now that one doesn't have to be bitten to reanimate. It's like a disease that everyone is already infected with. What the antigen needs is for the host to die.

 

*shudder*

No, he whispered that his wife was pregnant.

 

I don't know. It's possible, but I don't think Rick would have brought that up when he was trying to radio Morgan. I tend to think it had something to do with the infection.

I tend to agree, but at the same time that doesn't explain Jim from season 1 who got that bad fever and was rapidly dying. Even before Jim the groups understanding of the disease was the whole fever thing so it must have happened even more than once. So if everyone is already infected wouldn't they all have a fever and be rapidly dying?

 

Also trying to think if anyone else died from not a zombie. That could prove or disprove, but all I can think of is the two guys at the bar, and they didn't stay there long enough to see if they would have reanimated, though Shane came back up in like record breaking time.

He went back and shot one one guy in the head. I didn't see him to it to the first guy he shot though

Jim was bitten. Bites kill. Fever, etc

 

But the bite isn't what turns you. It is just the fact that you've died with an intact brain.

 

 

No, he whispered that his wife was pregnant.

 

Then why does he act surprised when he finds the abortion drugs and confronts Lori about it? He even asks her how long she's known about it. I think the Dr. at the CDC told him about the disease and how everyone is infected.

Perhaps the airborne infection is latent, as in you are a carrier till you die and the virus takes over. Blood infections with a high dose of virus seems triggers an immediate onset of fever and organ failure.

great episode.

 

but whatever happens for the finale, please.. oh please, dont let maggie die. She is just too fine not to be on for another season, or 3

I'll second that! IMHO, she's the hottest woman on the show.

 

I thought I saw it here, but perhaps it was somewhere else, that Shane may have become infected when he cut his hand after stabbing a walker or two on the bus. OTOH, that wouldn't account for that kid turning into a zombie, so it may be true, as others here have said, that everyone is already infected and awaiting a fate of re-animation upon death (from anything other than head trauma).

I think im done watching... Shane's gone. My only hope is if Daryl picks up a little of the Shane's legacy. Otherwose I think its going to jump the shark a bit and become a little boring.

Ahh, Shane had to die. He was becoming too feral and unrestrained. I mean, geez, he tried to kill his best friend TWICE in like a week. Let's not forget about the Otis situation... what.. the fugg... At least put a bullet in his head instead of leaving him there like that... Talk about unhinged.

Shanes death could take the story in any direction, by the looks of it, it seems the farm will be over run on the next episode and the group will retreat.

 

Shanes charecter was great, actually one of my favriotes. Does it suck they killed him off? yes... But had to be done. It's like how nucky killed off james darmody in boardwalk empire.. i was like.. Noooooooooo!!!

Otis was killed to give him a chance to escape. If he shot him in the head, the zombies would have bypassed Otis. I think they only want living meat.

Ah so bites cause AN infection its just not THEE infection, which everyone already has. Can't argue with that.

 

 

Anyway glad Shane is gone. He would stomp his feet and throw a fit every time Rick disagreed with him. He was like a little girl. And that whole situation he set up could easily have gotten all 4 of them killed. Even if his intention was to kill only Rick, he could have gotten jumped by walkers by himself, and the other pair Daryl and.. shit who was it? glenn? Shane had them wandering around a forest at night looking for nothing. Also Shane had the shot but he let Rick talk himself closer and closer and then Shane didn't watch both of Rick's hands as he pulled out the knife, so Shane fails anyway.
