First Look: ‘Walking Dead’ Season 3 Preview Reveals The Prison
The Walking Dead season 2 finale has aired and our favorite group of survivors are now on to their next adventure. Since October is such a long time to wait for the next season of The Walking Dead, why not find out what’s in for season 3 now.

I’m back on Shane, but he really wasn’t a bad guy. Someone earlier mentioned being a father, I too am a father and if I couldn’t be there with my kids in a time like that then I would want a guy like Shane watching out for my kids. Thats not saying I want that same guy to watch my kids in a normal sitation. The same comment mentioned that Shane had been bad from the start and I just didn’t see it that way. He was the only one to step up and stop Carol’s husband from slapping her around. He would have died for Carl and Lori. I think after he shot Otis (BTW still feel like he did the right thing there) that he went on a downward spiral because of the guilt/stress involved. On top of that he was in love with a woman who was in love with another man and for all of us guys who have been there we know that your not exactly yourself in those times. STill with all that said Shane had to go. I like to say that if I were Rick I would have saved him when Shane was trapped on that bus but truthfully I probably would have drove away and regretted it later. I thought after that moment that Shane would back off a little and just be the tough guy best friend but it didn’t play out that way.
“He would have died for Carl and Lori.”
-I have to disagree. To me, Shane would have (and did) killed for Carl, Lori, and himself, but when it became his survival over Lori and Carl, he would have easily abandoned them to the walkers. Especially the farther we move down the storyline.
Even in the scene between Rick and Shane at the beginning of season 1, there is the feeling that if one of the two were to be charged with “police brutality” that it would be Shane and not Rick. Shane does not have the moral fortitude/anchor that rick has and the more we went into the story, the farther Shane became adrift.
Wait when in the show did Carl ever slap Lori around? Do you mean emotionally ? I’m kinda lost on that comment, but I am with you about Shane.
carol is the girl with short grey hair, mom of sophie, he said carol not carl
Wait what happend to shane’s real family in the first place.
They were infected and died, therefore Shane felt like he needed a replacement and went after Lori and Carl.
actually shane never had a family so he didnt need a replacement.
he was just in love with lori for aslong as he has known her but he couldnt have her. so he desided that that time would be perfect to swoop in.
lori and the rest of the group are being stupid, do they not realised not it was either shane or rick that was going to die and i think they would all perfer if rick was the one would survived. yea it must be crap lossing one of the best fighters but come on did you see how it effected rick when he killed shane he was a mess and then they just loo at like he is dirt.
if it was the other way around i think shane would have left after the way they looked at him so it was better this way.
i miss dale stupid carl
Shane being in the position he was in was tough. However, i do think that he made excuses to not see the reality of things too. Clearly in season one when lori had sex with him, she still carried RICKS wedding band. (not hers but his on her chain. That meant that deep down she still hoped he was alive [holding it for him] and still carried her loyalty emotionally for him. She never moved on so Lori was never really Shane’s “new partner.”)I am happy that he died because he was a cancer. Growing by the episode. He didn’t make sound decisions as a co leader but as a coward; A man who cut his losses because it was easier to accept the cut dry solution rather than keeping his humanity and fighting the emotions of self doubt and moral responsibility. It’s harsh to say but i can respect him for killing Otis. [The man was responsible for shooting Carl and volunteered to come along because of morals and guilt.] However, it was interesting that this man who was okay with putting his life in danger for the health of a young boy, dismissed the notion of dying for the sake of two ppl surviving (shane n carl)I’m saddened that Dale died because of the immaturity of Carl. His age was his gift and curse. he may have been perceived as one of the weaker ones but his age came with wisdom and logic. I think he was the only person that made sound decisions aside from Rick and may have been the only person who could have saved Rick from becoming cold blooded as they revealed for season 3. He could have noticed the change in Rick and tried to be that positive reinforcement that everyone else had (but ricks encouragement would be on being the alpha male and reinforcing his ability to lead based on societies idea of “the man’s” responsibility.) My last comment (thank god) is my issue with Lori. I think she is responsible for the death of Shane. SHe constantly pushed and pulled him playin with his feelings. The man was accepted by her as the lover and protector and immediately turned him away socially once Rick arrived. I think he needed the proper acknowledgement of his duties and gratitude by her and should not have been left alienated to himself and his emotional irrational thoughts. No one could see that ricks family WAS the only thing that was constant before the zombies. Everyone forgets the family he used to have. He could have easily substituted lori n carl for his first fam he may have lost. Shane was overwhelmed by facing his emotions then trying to bury them. I think he found his way but Lori timing would set him off. when he had it under control, she would show signs of compassion for him or her give him the relief of knowing that when Rick was gone it felt good. It gives Shane a sense of hope. There were times when he was rational and tried to be the friend n respect the label. [Not asserting carl should learn to shoot n also telling rick he needs to talk to his son when carl took darryl gun] Bonds form quickly and stronger when facing unusual circumstances. look how fast maggie n glen fell in love. And did anyone forget in the tent lori she told Rick that shane said he doesnt think rick can protect his family and theyre meant for each other?? Or when she asked Rick will you kill to protect your family (after sayin shane is a threat) Rick did all he could to not kill him and for her to now be distant from Rick is foolish. She needs to accept responsibility. i know i replied off your comment to make a point n then turned it into my own blog thoughts…sorry bro lmao
I completely agree that Lori had a great deal to do with Shane’s degeneration. She seemed to say just the wrong thing at important times every time. Playing with his emotions, pushing him away then seeming to give him hope. The woman seems to think she is queen bee just because Rick is her husband, however she has no real merit in herself she drove off after Rick when he went in search of Herschel putting herself, her unborn baby and risking Carl losing both parents. Not a good decision maker and not someone who should be in a position to make decisions on behalf of the group. She seems to want to separate the group into very traditional male female stereotypical roles too, when clearly each should work to their own strengths such as Andrea taking on a protective ‘warrior’ role. Ooo I didn’t realise I disliked Lori quite THAT much.
Shane was clearly going a bit Tonto and I don’t think all of it was to do with Lori, but she certainly didn’t help.
I think the same about Lori, she was giving Shane “hope” in their relationship and pushing Rick to be aware of Shane!! Shame of her
i was on the verge of crying when dale was ripped open by that walker/stroller/roamer/creeper/sneaker and if your wodering they are all the names for the zombies in the show
Really?! “crying”?! It’s a zombie series, not 9/11. Too much real stuff to cry about, but whatever …. You fans are scaring me. Does anyone note that it is writer and actors, and those are the drivers of all that happens. Pfftttt!
Crying is a reaction from unbearable sadness. When brilliant writing and acting combine in such a way to force that kind of reaction, it is clear that they are doing something well. The Walking Dead is intense, compelling, and above all relatable. If we found ourselves in those situations, I feel that we would react fairly similar to the characters in the show.
I completely and 100% agree with you. I cried when Dale died too! He was my absolute favourite character from the very beginning! His heart and head were consistently in the right place. I’ve found myself crying in many parts of the show! When Rick killed Shane and was screaming “You did this!” I became extremely emotional! The writers did a brilliant job! I also find that the underlying morals and themes that speak to the viewers, teach lessons in a subtle and not in-your-face way. Purely brilliant.
Anyways, to anyone who isn’t a fan of the people who are crying in the show, realize that crying speaks volumes to the actors and writers. They must be doing an awfully great job to attach to the viewers and tug at our heart strings like that.
Also, instead of letting people know how they should feel emotionally about the show, why don’t you just give your ‘The Walking Dead’ opinions instead. This is, afterall, a discussion board.
Me and my son were sad when Dale died.
He was the “conciencia” of the group…:(
Ummm no those are not the proper names walker/roamer/lurker/biters are from the comics and the tv series refers to them as zombies/walkers/lame brains/geeks/the undead. Get your facts right.
I was sad also
I really did cry when Dale was dying. His character really tugged at my emotions in general. I felt a little sad when Shane died too, but Dale dying was a travesty.
there was also geeks watch it again
lori and the others are being stupid. do they not realise thet it was either rick or shane that died and i think they all perfer that rick was the one that survied.then they just look at him like he is dirt you can see how much killing his best friend did to him i thin it’s unfair the way they treat him. yea it was terrible lossing one of the best fighters but better it was shane and not rick.
i think if it was the other way arround shane would have left them after the way they treated him.
plus i hate carl if it wasn’t for him dalw would still be alive
Carl is not stupid. It may be true that if he hadn’t done that, Dale could still be alive, but we don’t know for sure and we won’t know for sure. I personally thought that Carl’s reaction in the situation was completely realistic. Before ragging on Carl, think about what you would do in that situation. I’m sure you would probably run too. If Dale hadn’t died then, he probably would have died in the season 2 fineale. The writers decided to kill him, but if they didn’t do it in that episode it would have happened soon.
that is completely true i know it would of course hurt 2 be toren apart but if it was in the last episode no-one would be able 2 take they pain away with a bullet.
r.i.p 2 anyone who died
ps can’t wait til season 3. 2 days be4 my b day
You have a good point, but I guess what I’m realy trying to say is that if Dale hadn’t died in that episode he would’ve died soon. It could have been in the season finale, or very early in season 3. Either way he would’ve died at some point, so it’s probably best that he died then and we weren’t anticipating it for a while.
doncha think dale should have been the leader anyway? he was the one with the rv keeping the ladies safe , shane was just a nutter that was trigger happy… he is/was a freak … I might have missed something, but at the beggining they (rick and shane) were talking to eachother about their women.Well shane said he had a lady that didn’t like to turn off lights… well my point is he had his own partner … shouldent he be saving her rather than his best friends just so he can bang her?? Rick had only just turned up and then suddenly he is the king of the castle making all the decisions… Glenn is a smart guy… I hope he survives through all the series.
What I understand is that Shane probably wasn’t married. He strikes me as the type of guy who had lots of one night stands. In season 2, while Rick and Shane are looking for Sophia, Rick gets Shane talking about his high school love life. It sounds to me like he didn’t have long term relationships and, mostly, went after older women. I also never noticed Shane wearing a ring. Therefore, I don’t get the impression that Shane was ever married.
carl isn’t stupid hes only little he was probely to scared to kill it as would any other kid, i hate how mature he thinks he is though it pisses me off
Im only a kid (BIT OLDER THAN CARL) myself and im sure if you thought/pictured the b4st3rd ripping into someone it would be quite easy to shoot… Excuse me if I’m wrong but ugly fools like that are easy to put down , Irritating, Ugly and smells… like a fly … do you see kids to scared to kill them.. me think no.Carl is a fool… I blame his mother.He has obviously been brought up by spongebobsquarepants.
that is such a lie he was prepared to sentance that kid that they captured the one that shane killed, to death and he wanted to watch rick do him in but then rick couldn’t do it
i think shane has lost the plot big time and was a happy chappy when he died rip dude you ended up a danger to all around you especially carl
I don’t think Shane is a bad guy either. He risked his life to try to save Rick in the beginning. He legitimately thought he was dead, and put the cot in front of the door so walkers wouldn’t eat him (seems like a respectful way to treat your dead best friend). Then he risked his life to save Lori and Carl, which is what Rick would have wanted. And yes, he fell in love with Lori. When Rick came back, I think he really did try to back off, but Lori treated him like absolute dirt. He killed Otis only because he knew both of them wouldn’t make it out alive. He asked Otis to just take the bags and leave him behind, but Otis wouldn’t do that. So Shane did what he had to do to save Carl, at the sake of his own sanity over killing an innocent man. He had planned to leave because he knew that he couldn’t stand by while Rick continually put Lori/Carl at risk when he thought he could protect them better than Rick could. When Lori asked him to stay, he agreed because he loved her. Lori is the instigator in most of Shane’s behavior. When he found out she was pregnant (presumably with his baby), that’s when he burst open the barn to kill the walkers. When she apologized for treating him like dirt and confessed that she did have feelings for him, he decided he had to kill Rick.
I never really asked myself if he would have adbandoned Lori and Carl if it came down to them or him. That is a different look on it for me. As far as Shane being as moral as Rick I agree 100 percent with you. I look at it like this though if zombies are walking around the earth are the moral decisions going to keep my family alive? Maybe some of them, but if it comes down to making a moral decision or uping the chances of survival for my family it isn’t even a question. I would have shot that kid that was stuck to the fence, I would NOT have put my guns up when Hersehel said that it was his farm and he didn’t want guns around. I would have shot every walker in the barn as soon as I found out about them being there rather Hershel liked it or not. Maybe some of my decisions would keep me up at night, but my family would be a little safer.
My wife and I had this same discussion after one of the episodes. Her being the wonderful woman she is saw it as Rick was doing the “right” thing (which he did/does do). I said my peice about survival first, everything else second and I really disapointed her with my outlook on it. I still stick to my guns if it is brought up in a social scenario, and most people do disagree with me. I have a gut feeling though that those same people would be searching for me to get them out of town if zombies ever did come around.
My view on Shane was he was to far gone. He was going to kill Rick yes or yes & Rick new if it was not now it would be later but Shane was a danger to all. In season 1 and start of 2 he was probably Ricks pilar but when you feel the world is at its end and its survival that counts… well… dont care who you are or what morals you have, you take what you feel you can make & use as a good life.
As for the farm, Shane was wrong, think… if you are in your house you make the rules. If someone does not like the rules they are free to leave & search for alternative places. But if Hershal feels he wants zombis in his barn & the rest dont feel comfortable, then they should have left.
Tell me who is going to argue with Michonne in season 3 for having 2 zombis as pets on a leash?? no one will cause she will kill them!
As for the groups reaction to Rick & his wife & sons reaction I was disgusted in them at the end.
The man did what he had to and they looked at him like dirt! Wrong or not his life was in danger & he defended himself, his morals were proved when he refused to kill the kid, why question him with Shane when everyone knew he was unstable.
I think one of the reasons the rest of the group looked at him like dirt, not saying their reactions were justifiable, is because he didn’t explain what had happened very well. He said that Shane was questioning his authority, but he did not mention the fact that Shane had a gun pointed at him. I am, however, disgusted by Lori’s reaction. She’s his wife and I’m pretty sure she knew just how far gone Shane was. If I were Rick, I wouldn’t feel bad about shooting Shane. I mean, the man was a threat to himself and everyone around him. Just my opinion.
When it gets down to a Base feeling, “protect my family” etc, We are all going to do just that. Yeah its only a TV Programme, but ya never know what can happen with all the chemical crapola going on in our Brave World!!
I see your point on the putting the guns up at the farm when Hershel asked them to, but again the world in that show isn’t “normal”. If I were at your house and you said wipe your feet before entering I surely would today. If the world has come to an end and there are zombies that eat people in the streets and you were nice enough to take me and my family in, then I find out that you have zombies in your attic, with no way of protecting yourself if they get out I’m doing us both a favor by shooting them all. The moral’s come back into play here too because knowing that Hershel had no means of making them put guns away/not shoot the walkers in the barn there would be a new order to things and as sad or as mean as it sounds I wouldn’t be leaving the farm. The strong would survive in that situation and the strong are those with the most ammo.
My wife would punch me in the arm if she saw me write that…lol but its just how I feel about it. I wouldn’t move from a “safe zone” because some idiot wants to feed zombies rabbits to try and tame them. As far as the ones with Michonne I wouldn’t be thrilled about it either but they are pretty much harmless with their jaws, and arms cut off.
I feel like I’m defending Shane though, I suppose I am to a point but I still feel Rick did the right thing and that Shane was more of a threat to the group than an asset in his current state of mind. I just related to him more than any of the other characters I guess.
I agree with some of you on something’s. I feel had Shaine not found out about the baby and there’s the possibility of it being his. I think he’d still be around for a little longer. When he asked her she should’ve lied about the baby and said no it’s not yours I’m sorry for playing you which she did til Rick showed back up in the picture. My husband & I both agree with Shaine on Rick F***ing EVERYTHING & RUINING what they all had. Ya ok he’s alive but since he joined the group so many have died because of him. Ya ok he tried to do the right thing but he always messed thing’s up. So many thing’s have gone wrong since he joined them. I just don’t see how he can be such a hero in this mess?! I can’t wait to see what happens next now that everyone has either died or been split up. How long will it be before Rick makes another deadly choice?? How long before he bails on his wife & kid’s?? He can’t protect anyone and now his best-friend is dead. Ya he was out of his mind but a lot of thing’s he did i stand by him and YES from the very beginning that kid should’ve been shot. I mean did you listen to everything he was saying about his group? He did whatever he did because he liked but was lying to get them to set him free so then maybe he’d bring his loser group back to the farm & do everything he bragged about to Shaine. Ya the kid should’ve told someone sooner about the walker he was messing with then Dale may or may not have had to die because of the boy’s foolishness. It was very sad to see so many loved charters die for others stupidity!!!!
shane he was the man in this show ..i would do the samething if the dead came back..i would have so many guns and a plan to get somewhere safe..like a ship or a plane to an iland in the middle of nowhere ..i would be like shane do anything to stay alive and keep the ones i love safe..so in my point of view shane was not to far gone he was just trying to keep the ones he loved alive and safe..i liked shane he was not a bad guy they should of killed rick off just like the other person said now that rick came around a lot of people have died and stuff has been messed up…
that’s true but in the 1st season when they all didn’t know rick was alive they had like 3 guns and when rick went 2 get the guns he had more protection, more chance and they probably wouldn’t be alive in the last series
Shane just wanted to sleep with ricks wife … then he wanted to flee.He didnt care.
I see your point but truthfully in my opinion, Laura goaded Shane and put Rick in that position where he had no choice but to kill Shane. To be honest if Laura hadnt slept with her husbands best friend, then none of the problems would have happened. Just my take.
I don’t understand how people can blame anything on rick? Sure the original camp was attacked when he wasnt there but he went for a bag full of guns.. How could they survive as long as they have if it weren’t for guns? And the farm was made a huge target due to Shane’s twisted plot to oust rick, the zombies may have attacked anyway but the group wouldn’t have been so separated.
Survivability is one thing shane did have but do you really want a guy like that in charge of you? or do you want a guy that’s likely to risk his life trying to save you? The ending really annoyed me though the way the group reacted to rick, especially his own wife! after all he’s done for them all!
Everything being said the best guy in the show is definitely daryl! Andrea to die next I hope!
I would rather Rick in charge at least he can hold his head in a dangerous situations,I hope Daryl gets together with Carol, he’s so nice to her about her daughter.
Is Andrea the blonde haired woman that her daughter was taken by the walkers, Ya I hope she is next. But I think the way they left her with the creepy person with the 2 walkers and the sword, i think she is going to live.
why i mean she may have got angry at dayle but her sis had just died and i think youve missed the last part of the episode because shes ok
Ok Shane is dead and he’s never coming back… I mean coming back AGAIN lol The important thing here is to move the story along. It’d be nice if Rick could have just looked away from the fact that Shane was full on hooking up with his wife and there’s a fifty-fifty shot she’s pregnant withies his baby, oh and ya know the whole Shane trying to kill him. On second thought Shane’s supposed to die. It’s crucial to the plot….boy u guys feathers are really gonna be ruffled if the governor does what he does in the comic….
Alright so the writers and producers have plans for each character being killed. I have to say the most intreguing character so far is Daryl. He may be a good guy when it comes to humain and have morality but he’s definately twisted in some ways and my favourite part about him is that he’s truly the only hardcore warrior that this show has to offer. Alright so now your going to go into the comic book series and make this a surreal game. Whatever Daryl can take it, this ain’t no micky mouse show anymore. I have complete faith that the producers will make season 3 memorable for all it’s viewers. But I guarantee you this you take Daryl out, you will lose viewers as well as the true catalyst to this amazing series. Yeah Rick may be the Heart and Sould but he’s not the one keeping this show alive. Honestly you want everyone to die, well you take Rick out that’s one thing, but you take Daryl out of the equation and this show, that will be truly a devastating blow to your fans and the ratings will decline. I honestly hope the writers get this and give me a shout cause I can make things quite interesting.
Lori was a big disappointment. First she the tells rick about Shane and his intentions, and then Rick takes care of business. Then Lori confronts Shame by the windmill and leads him on. Telling him she doesn’t know who the baby father is and bla bla bla, even though she said it was Ricks no matter what. And when rick kills Shane because Shane wanted rick dead, he tells Lori and she’s gets all up set. Wow, this show is intense
regaurdless of what people say this show is by far the most exsiting program on tv and im a diehard fan and im stoked for season three
I liked Shane as an actor a lot, Now that he’s dead, I’m quiet unsure of how next season will be. Shane brought the excitement and drama to the story. However from the moment he killed Otis and from the moment he found out about Lori being pregnant and that the baby could be possibly be his, his actions became thoughtless and I myself began to hate him. Shane got too involved in Carl’s and Lori’s life, even after he found out that Rick was still alive, hence making it difficult for him to let go of the life that was not his but Rick’s. In the end it drove him insane and too his own death. He will be missed though, he was my favorite character in the show.
And just an addition to the above paragraph,
-He killed Otis in order to stay alive for Lori and Carl, and he’s not even their father or husband. Selfish I may add. He wanted Rick’s life a little too much
i agree with a lot of people i liked shane.. i could get bye with him shooting otis because you do what you have to do. plus if otis didn’t shoot carl in the first place. he wouldn’t have to be out there. and he said it him self that he wanted to make it right for carl so i think he would of died to save the boy. but when he plans on killing rick because he is back to be with is wife. so he wants to kill him so his wife and carl would go back with how he was. and if he was a true friend he would never even though or went or got together with his wife. i can see helping her and saving her for ricks lies there possibley dead. and at the end it was sad it seemed like they would rather have shane alive then her husband or father. After all rick gave shane so many chances for shane to give up thinking about killing him and work with him. and after he found out about shane. he still saved him from the bus when he could of just left him there to die and said it was an accident.. i’m Sorry me personaly Wouldn’t want some one watching my back if i know he would leave me to save him self or shoot me to by some time. i would want a freind or partner that would be willing to sacrifice my life to save me or others. just like i would for all my friends and family. and he has risked his life so many times for them it’s not funny. and about their camp being attacked when he first joined. it was his fault..it was daryls brother who led the zombies to there camp if you watch carefully he stole the truck and im sure he filled it with zombies that chased him . and drove back. and exscaped. and left them atking the camp. but they tried to save him to. he was just to unstable. and he was willing to kill any of them that was on the roof that day but he was the only one who stood up to him being his size.. so that’s what i think. then there was the time shane tried to force him self on her after she said no.. you don’t want people. like that watching your back. and think he was once a cop. i can see how youll do so much just to survive.. but you don’t have to turn you back on humanity to survivel and thats what dale tried to tell every one.
That is one huge flaw for me in the show. Although it was very cool and a HUGE dramatic moment in the show, that shot through the deer would have been a fatal wound for a young boy without any doubt. It almost insults us that he could have survived a gunshot like that. I only digress in that the way the used that moment to play out into the “next chapter’ of Herschel and the girls made it work. I forgive and forget.
who will be next die of the season 3?
i think that the next person to die will be one of the farmers daughters or lori
I just wanna clear things up with everyone. Every character has their flaws. Shane was a good person overall. For anyone who watched season 1 and 2, Shane really did think Rick was dead. Shane took care of Carl and Lori and they technically were like his family. When Rick came back Shane must have had so many thoughts running through his mind… Like the fact that now Lori and him can no longer be together, he really thought Rick was dead, and he would be worried about Rick figuring out what happened between Lori and Shane. The only thing Shane did wrong in season one was trying to rape Lori when he was drunk. That was stupid and I lost all my respect for him. Most people lost respect for him in season 2 when i regained respect for him. Every move he made was to keep the people that mattered to him alive. Like killing the zombies in the barn. Good decision. The fact that Rick tried to stop him, that was showing evidence that Rick didn’t have what it would take to protect who he loves. Anybody who reads that and thinks killing the zombies in the barn was a bad decision, you honestly deserve to be shot and pissed on. You would never survive in that situation. His decision to trick everyone and go kill the guy from the other group (that tried killing them all) was a good decision. Well thought out. But he could have instead of that walked to the forest with the guy to a certain spot and shot him, returning and telling the group the guy got out and Shane followed him and shot him because he was trying to escape which could have endangered everyone potentially. That could’ve avoided Shane being dead now and Rick being in the state of mind that he is in after killing his best friend who tried to kill him, and everyone thought he was dangerous although he was right 99% of the time, and Lori practically implying that Rick needs to kill him, and then Lori treating him like dirt after he did kill him. Pathetic. If anyone is to blame for the group being messed up it would be Lori. Although when you think your husband is dead, and a man who you’ve known for a long time takes care of you and your son, i dont blame her for having sex with Shane. She had no idea, and unintentionally caused the whole Shane situation in season 2. Can’t wait for season 3!
Ok, I agree with you for most of what you’re saying; however, I do not agree with “The fact that Rick tried to stop him (from shooting the zombies in the barn), that was showing evidence that Rick didn’t have what it would take to protect who he loves.”
Here’s why:
Every character on the show makes decissions thinking that, in the moment, they are making the right choice for the collective good of the group. When, infact, the decissions they are making are impulsive and irresponsible. For example, Andrea shooting Daryl thinking he was a walker, even though the rest of the group was telling her not to shoot. Dale, hiding the guns. Hershell, keeping the walkers in the barn thinking that someday a cure would be found. Anyways, my point is, that every single character thinks on their feet and in the moment. Every character, that is, except for Rick. Rick thinks ahead. Rick makes decissions while fully thinking of the outcome. I love the advice he gives to Carl after Carl ‘talks back’ to Carol. “Don’t talk. Think.” That is what makes Rick such a special character. In those days thinking first would be such a rarity. When Rick was helping Hershel capture the zombies in the woods, the look on his face explains that he didn’t care for the way things were being handled. But, it was Hershel’s farm and he thought that being on that “special farm” was a lot safer (for the time being) than being on their own, struggling to survive in the wilderness. At Hershel’s farm they have shelter, food and a place that is so secluded from the rest of the world. Rick is typically very good at talking to people and talking people out of making stupid decissions. It was the safest place to be at the time, and with Hershel already on the fence about their group staying, Rick didn’t want to do anything to push him over the edge. If Shane wasn’t such a hot head and didn’t act so impulsively, who’s to say that Rick couldn’t have informed and corrected the thought process of Hersel and his secluded family? I suppose we’ll never know. My point is though, that Rick’s body, mind, and soul is with that group and he would have done anything and taken anything into his own hands to protect them. He killed his best friend for them, for crying out loud! Thinking with a regard to future consiquence is what makes him so suited to lead the group.
Yes, Shane was trying to protect them by shooting the walkers in the barn, but in turn, was jeopardizing their future in the safest place they’d known since the outbreak. I’m not saying it was a bad decission, because that decission is what made Hershel reaalize that it was not just a sickness that could be cured, but Shane wasn’t thinking ahead. Rick was, and always is. That is all I’m saying.
I do agree with you though about Lori. She makes such a muck of everything she touches. She has jeopardized everyone in that group, including her son. I could rant on and on about her decissions though. I think we all know her character is majorly flawed and she needs to step it up in he next season, especially being pregnant.
Such a great show! I’m enjoying reading all of these comments and hearing people’s differing opinions too! Awesome.
Kailen,
You are very correct about Rick, and makes him the hero he is in the story.
Shane was the one who did not think about where the actions would lead. A very act now kind of guy. What Shane argued for in the story line, I agreed with, but it was how he argued it and wanted to put it in motion that bothered me. There was no morals or forethought (or after thought) about the actions he suggested.
Dale was the polar opposite. He was the moral compass, pointing the way to keep human in the new world. Dale was a strength and a weakness to the group. The strength for he thought about what was right and what was wrong, but he was also a weakness for he wanted to do what was right, even if it would threaten the group.
For Rick, Shane and Dale became physical manifestation of his consciences, his little devil and angel sitting on his shoulder.
The thing is, with the way the world is now, does one have the luxury to think about the moral dilema and have the time to ponder a decision/
I do not understand how they are going to be able to play off rick getting his hand cut off by the governor. Being such a huge story element in the comics, many things would go differently if he had both hands.
Ok so one thing im siked about season 3, i began watching the walking dead because i was ill and my mum baught me the dvd of season 1 i never got round to watching it untill a few months back i loved it so much then i reilized i had missed season 2 so i found a good website for that “watchseries.eu the walking dead” yeah I would love to act in that and imagine if that sort of thin really did happen, I dont blame shane for wanting laurie but he has to keep his boundrys but hes dead now, will there be a season 4? should i buy the comics to read? btw i want to be an actress im 13
Btw im not into the whole knowing about whats happening next but… we have to wait for i think 5 mounths. I LOVE THESE SERIES and people who like it are not nerds, geeks we just have good taste in Tv <3
it comes out October 14
im 14 am i too young to be watching this lol… I think tv has desensitised me.The only thing that kinda made me sad was when dale died.But then I thought.. He was old.. he had a full life.
How old are you people?
what do people think on the whole lari keeping the baby :L i dont think its a good idea and if she has a miscarrage im sure more walkers will come because the blood and stuff but a baby would just endanger them all really bc they would have it crying constantly and lauri would get so big and might get slow and stuff its not a choice really Would you want to bring a child up in that world? no
The infection is in everyone, when they die, they come back as a zombie. I’m betting that her baby will come out infected. She should have got an abortion, anyone who wants to disagree feel free, but arguing on this is pointless because I will win. Raising a baby in a world like that is hard first of all because of the lack of necessities, health care, etc. And Hershel isn’t good enough with health care he doesnt have the material for everything. Giving birth is dangerous and could end up in death if done improperly. and the baby may be infected… I’m hoping in season 3 they realise the fact that the baby may be infected aswell as the other dangers, and rethink and abort it.
What you are saying could be very true BUT if you look at this in a positive way having a baby is bringing LIFE into this world the baby does not start of dead which should mean that it would not be born dead, you only become a zombie once you die. you did state though that Hershel does not have the necessary equipment to give birth which could lead to death and then turning in to a walker. But again think about how long we have been bringing life in to this world so the chance of the baby dying in labor or Lori is one in a billion but i guess there is still a chance that it could happen. i personally think that aborting the baby will not happen as Rick isn’t that kind of person,even though raising a baby in an apocalyptic wasteland is a terrible idea firstly the cries would drag way to much attention the walkers get attracted by the sound of a gun shot imagine what the continuous cries would cause they would always have to be moving but then once again they will be safe in the prison so actually they will be safe to have their baby.

[Removed for spoilers]Now I don’t know if it’s going to be exactly the same in the TV show, but I sure do hope it’s close. I enjoy the comic books just as much as the show, but me being a true blooded fan, I do not wish to see them change the story too much.
dude it turns when its dead … its already developed its mouth in some way i guess.It would probly eat her from the inside… Aborting it would be like triggering it.you win anyway
carl-well honestly dale is dead because of carl but he was still in training in shooting learning from shane and rick but when the moment really counted he used the gun very well yes i admit it was bad to steel the gun from that guys motercycle bag and wonder off on his own and he might of accidently killed dale from pushing the walker to break free but if it wasent from carl steeling the gun rick (his dad) would of been dead. shane- shane was basicly a jerk he gets carried away in a bad sitioution and sacrifices someone else to save his own self but he also shot otis in the leg which makes it clear that if he was the leader of the group he would totally do it again to another member of the group so there for shane is a really bad bad guy and since he has talked and spent so much time with carl there is a good chance that carl could take in the jerkless place of shane! lori-all though in the first season she was with shane for a while she dident know rick was still alive out there because shane told her a big lie and rick dosent even know about it but i think he is going to find out sooner or later because either lori is going to say it because of her total loss of shane and the guilt face is on or rick is going to question on how suspicious she looks or is going to question on how did she get pregnant ? rick- Rick is the leader of the group and he was the only one to step in and shoot sophia after she was a walker even shane did not have the guts to shoot her and he was the one to shoot all the other walkers with some help and he opened the barn door putting the whole group in danger! that is all i’ve got to say about all the carl, shane, lori, and rick
sorry i meant well that is all i haft to say about carl, shane, lori, and rick
Please don’t comment on here if you don’t know anything about The Walking Dead lol. If Shane didn’t shoot Otis then Shane, Otis and Carl would be dead. He did it to slow down the walkers and get away to save Carls life who needed the equipment to live. I would take the life of some1 i dont even know that caused the whole situation (Otis accidentally shot Carl)in a world like that to save someone i care about without hesitating. When Shane opened the barn that wasnt putting them in danger really cuz they all had guns. What was putting them in danger was the whole keeping zombies alive in the barn thing. The only 2 things Shane ever did wrong were: 1. Try to rape Lori when he was drunk (season 1) 2. Try to kill Rick in the field (season 2). And Shane didn’t lie to Lori when he told her Rick was dead… Rick was in a coma in the hospital and Shane tried to get him out but Rick was obviously not able to wake up cuz he was in a coma, then the hospital got overrun by zombies and Shane had 2 options: Attempt to get Rick out which was impossible and pointless because he was on life support. OR leave and save himself, which he dead and he thought Rick was dead. Its clear you just started watching this show this season.
Iigh bruh, idk if that comment was referring to me because all your points made didn’t have anything to do with my comments or prove that i have not watched the show.. I’m assuming that you were responding to the person that responded to my post however i received the update of your post. I clearly said that i agreed with shane shooting otis n pointed out that it was interesting that otis was willing to put himself in harms way for carl b/c of guilt but wasnt willing to die for carl n save shane as well. I also didnt refer to the barn scene as well. But if you really want to be technical about things…Otis shooting carl was not his fault. Carl was short and was not in the sight lines of Otis scope. If i can remember, they had a bigger priority than looking at the stupid buck. It’s not like he shot carl n missed the buck. He shot the buck and it went through the buck to hit Carl. That’s rick shane and Carl’s fault for letting their guard down n being irresponsible( From the moment Rick woke up from his coma, nothing has been easy for him so why would he take that scene for granted aside from being in the woods of a country overran by zombies!!)If you still cant understand my point, its like a woman taking a shortcut at midnight by walking through a dark alley and being raped in that same alley. It’s terrible that she was raped, but why put yourself in that position in the first place!!
K bud. incase you didnt know everytime someone posts you get an email so no i wasnt talkin to you i didnt even know you commented. and everything you just said doesnt change the fact that Shane killed Otis to save himself AND CARL which overall was the best decision to be made. All you just did was prove your illiterate.
ummmm how did i prove i was illiterate?? i did’nt know that you receive an email for every post. Number two i wrote that i assumed it was for someone else. If it wasnt meant for me that’s all you had to say and leave it as that. Aside from that, i never disputed that shane was wrong for shooting Otis. I stated in the post (the original one and the one replying to your post) “I clearly said that i agreed with shane shooting otis n pointed out that it was interesting that otis was willing to put himself in harms way for carl b/c of guilt but wasnt willing to die for carl n save shane as well…” So how illiterate ARE YOU my friend?!! Don’t try to make me look stupid bruh. I dont mind making ppl look like A**es but you’re not worth it…especially over a tv series
You need to learn how to read Rob.
Ok, come on. Insults aren’t necessary… You used the incorrect “your” it should have been “you’re” so don’t call someone else illiterate. It’s just a place to discuss the show. Everyone has their own opinions!
i heard that lori gets shot and her and the baby dies and i think that the person who is going to die last is dayrl or is brother or dad whoever the new guy is is going to kill him and im fine withe carl diying!!!!!!
i like what rob thinks about the baby i am one of the walking deads biggest fan im quite disapointed that season 3 isnt coming out sooner!
oh another thing is (no ofense) shane is just plain crazy i mean when he opens the barn i understand its not safe but the gunshots could have attracted a million walkers maybe billions and maybe one of the walkers could have gotten past them and getting one of them what i loved about season 2 and that moment is the sophia part.when you first watch the part she gets lost in everybody thinks (including me) that shes hiding somewhere or somebody saves her but then she comes out of the barn dead and i understand why darrel is mad at sophias mom because he almost died trying to find her but what i want to know is how she died when she died how did she get in hershals barn i hope season 3 reveals so. (i am sorry if i said something you didnt like please dont be mean)
lilianly,
“but what i want to know is how she died when she died how did she get in hershals barn i hope season 3 reveals so.”
They explained how Sophia most likely ended up in the bar.
Otis, the man who shot Carl, and was murdered by Shane on the mission to get Carl anti-biotics, had been rounding up the Walkers co0ming to the farm and putting them into the barn. But since Shane shot him before he could be asked if he had ever saw signs of Sophia, no one knew.
As to what killed Sophia, your guess is as good as mine. She could have gotten bit, or maybe just died from fear. After all, whoever dies, they will re-animate, bitten or not.
when i found out sophia was dead and when carol said things like she never cried herself 2 sleep etc and when rick told every 1 that they’re all infected i thought 2 myself maybe sophia did cry and stay in that house and if she tried finding her way back maybe she came across some walkers
It showed a bite out of Sophia’s neck, but I see what you mean.
bring on season 3! the walking dead ff’in rules!!
There are so many spelling mistakes and grammer errors in your posts I would be here all day pointing them out and you’re calling someone else illiterate? lmao

hey paul do you run the page … im guessing you do… hey, nice page.
Good job Paul! I salute you. Back to the show…
I’m guessing that Michonne and Daryl will be on the “romance” thing seeing as Tyreese is nowhere to be seen and Carol has some kind of illusion over her relationship with him. btw Daryl Dixon for President. OK?
whens season 3 coming out?
TO BE PEFECTLY HONEST IM GLAD SHANE DIED I COULD RANT ON ABOUT IT BEING A TRAVESTY ALL NIGHT BUT no IM NOT HE WAS SLOWING THE GROUP DOWN IN A WAY … IMEAN HE WAS TOYING WITH RICK BOUT FAM ISSUES SAYING THIS AND THAT DOING THINGS TO PISS HIM OFF … WHEN DALE DIED I HAD A KINDA LUMP IN MY THROAT CAUSE IN ACTUAL FACT HE WAS A MORAL PERSON WHO KNEW RIGHT FROM WRONG AND HE WAS THE GUY PEOPLE WOULD TURN TOO (IN THE GROUP) IF THEY HAD A PROB OR A CERATIN THING THEY HAD TO SAY… IF I WERE TO SAY ONE PERSON IN THE GROUP IN SEASON 3 SHOULD HAVE TO DIE I THINK I WOULD PROBALLY WANT IT TO BE CAROL I DONT KNOW Y BUT I THINK SHES LIKE A WEAK LINK IN THE CHAIN AND HAS ABSOLUTE NO EXPERIANCE SORTING THESE SOCAL WALKERS XX… IF I HAD IT MY WAY I WOULD ADD MORE DRAMA TOO THE SCIPT …. IF ANY OF U NOTIVED IN SEASON 2 OF THE WALKING DEAD (THE FARM) IT JAD NO MEANING THEY WERE JUST SURVING ON THIS LAND WITH NO TRAUMATIC SCENES OF HORROR , AND I NO ITS NOT ALLABOUT THE WALKRS BUT I THINK THEY, THE WRITERS SHOULD HAVE MORE SCEAMS AND MORE TRAVESYS TO IT …
THE END
I agree that either Shane or Rick had to die. The whole thing between them had to end, and really that was the only way aside from Shane leaving the group. Dale dying was horribly sad. I too had a lump in my throat and tears. But to be honest, maybe Dale was too good for that world. To me, Carol seems like a weak link too. I imagine Daryl will continue to protect her though, but with so few men left (and no Andrea), who knows.
Hi guys can anyone tell me when series 3 will be aired in th uk please.
Dave
Dave, it goes out in USA on 14th October, then aired in UK a week later on FX channel on sky on 21st October, if you are waiting for it to be shown on channel 5 then that will be early on sometime 2013 I would imagine.
Thanks Danny cant wait
Gun ammunition would run out for sure. Give me a katana and a maccheti any day!
i agree kaitee they are really stupid for using guns give me a samari sword and i would be set for the apocalypse
In a world abandoned there would be enough ammo and gas for a goup like this forever. There are millions of guns and billions of bullets in the country
too long between seasons loose intrest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was very mortified when Dale died. I nearly burst out in tears, especially when I heard Andrea weeping. Dale was like a mentor to them.
My favorite characters from Season 2 are Carol and Darryl. Carol is such a sweet little lady that no one respects and Darryl is a hard-nosed survivor.
I love the Walking Dead!
This is a television show right?
I was wanting too make sure after reading some of these comments, it was one of my favorite television shows during it’s season. I just don’t get why anyone would care what is going to happen watch and find out. The while rung of sitting here and writing this out to me seems absolutely preposterous. I was wondering does no one really have anything better to do? I’m only on here because I was looking for date when new season starts. I don’t really care I’m not near as involved as you people are, I actually think y’all are a little bit crazy. The fact you’ll talk over and over about a tv show like this seems to be a little weird. Show was good but come on it’s not real is it? These guys didn’t really go through Atlanta did they, in Texas were not seeing any zombies at all. Lol you people need to slow down on the crack or heroin and stay at a slow and normal pace in your minds. The show will come back on and you’ll see what happens and then it will be over again. The only problem is America while it’s falling apart you morons are entertained to death with people with fake masks on. Lol America is going to war with Iran and Russia and china soon we will see real zombies only they will stay dead. Dumb
