I'm waiting for Shane to be killed ... By anyone. He's getting annoying. Need to show more t&a, wait, just needs to show some t&a

:iagree: it gets you wandering on a personal level who could that be out there and where the hell are they going?

I want to know what happened to Morgan and Duane Jones (the father and son that help Rick in the very first episode of the series). Are we just suppose to assume that their house got overrun when he was shooting walkers from the second floor window?

I think because Rick is constantly trying to contact them on the radio you're led to believe that they got out on the road.

Watched it last night. Ahhh... good stuff. So is there a mutation in the mutation!? Those two guards weren't bit?

My personal opinion on the matter and I'll put a spoiler tag in case I'm correct..

My first thought was that it had gone airborne, a la I Am Legend, but then everyone would be screwed unless the group coincidentally happened to be immune.

It also seems like they very routinely get blood splattered in their faces while going all stab happy on a walker's skull but somehow never seem to get any of it in their systems.

But it's over analyzing like that that can ruin a perfectly good show, so I just try to ignore it.

They mentioned something about scratches which would make sense as scratches are basically the same as cuts, just not necessarily breaking through the skin, but who knows.

Is he still trying to contact them? I thought he stopped back in S1 when the group left that section of the country. They haven't shown (or I don't remember) him on the radio or anything.





I am undecided on what to think of Shane. I feel like he is fullfilling a necessary role and counter-balance to Rick right now. There have been times when I have felt Shane was correct, although a bit pushy, insistent, and over the top in how he goes about getting the message across.

Pretty much, I think Rick needs him, at least for the time being until he starts loosing his humanity (if he does).

Shane is in full blown survival mode, worry about yourself and if the other live too then that's a bonus. He does what everyone knows they SHOULD do and does it without thinking about the reactions from the rest of the group. The problem is that the rest of the group, and all of us with a conscience, still think there is room for civility in a post apocalyptic world and have a hard time accepting his actions as the right ones. That's why he seems like such a bad guy.

That...and he keeps trying to steal Rick's family.

Go find out about Shane in the original graphic novel :p

Does the TV show follow the graphic novel pretty closely? I don't want to ruin the story or run it a bunch of "that's not how it's suppose to happen."

I actually haven't followed the graphic novel but I know a bit about it. The show so far has been sort of true to the graphic novel but hasn't been following it to a T. At this point in the Graphic novel things are different from the show. I do know though that Shane's storyline in the graphic novel is different from where they are now I believe. Not to say they won't still follow the storyline in different order.
