My wife keeps saying Shane is a whore just like all the other Shanes out there. :sl Ouch!-(P

I think Otis is good as dead, but they writers do like to set you up for an obvoius moment and not make it happen.

Remember the first episode of the first season (I think it was) when the guy was going down the pitch black stair case lighting matches every few feet? I was like this is sooo predictable, a zimbie is gonna jump out. Then when it didn't happen I was like ooohhh I like this show.

Only two episodes in and I am getting pissed. Last season was soooo much better.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I'm absolutely loving this season. They really picked up on the character development (which is probably why most people say it's so slow). But this development is very important for events to come. In my eyes this story really just getting started. This season will bring big things. To me people tend to focus less on the characters and more on the "action". If that is how you watch this show, then you will be somewhat disappointed.

It was important to use a whole show with Carl, you have to understand the writers are trying to bring you into the characters shoes. I biggest point to me is that these people are not just surviving the zombies. As it sits now, even a broken bone can end up in death. It all is very dark and heart wrenching. I love this dynamic of how "people" react with all these things going on.

From start to finish I'm tense and on edge. I love thinking about what it would be like for me to experience this and the decisions I would make. Would I stay with the pack? Would I go off on my own. Even forming a group presents its own problems like Sophia being missing.

Right now you see a group living in the moment. I cannot wait till that transitions into long-term survival.

I enjoyed this last episode, man that last scene with Shane & Otis....INTENSE!!!

I was hoping the boy would die (just so Rick can move on and be full of rage). You guys b!tching about these last 2 episodes need to remember this is a story about people dealing with a bad situation that has occurred it's not really all about zombies....at least that's how Kirkman has put it regarding the comic and the show.

There is all kinds of drama in the comics and sometimes very little zombies.

But it is what it is and I am glad they renewed for a 3rd season!

Completely agreed with you but tonight I feel like they are heading back in the right direction. Last season was just fantastic. This season just started off slow and not nearly as exciting. Tonight's episode was good and we enjoyed it. Going to be interesting to see how this continues. One thing I like is the acting is good. There is no cheesiness or B movie feeling to it that most zombie flicks or horror flicks seem to have. Very well done.

Just finished it, I had to record because I was at Emilys. Damn!! Great ending. Didn't see it coming what so ever. I agree with getting to know the characters better, but I like action as well, so I haven't liked the last episodes, but have still watched and enjoyed. If that makes any sense. Do you guys think they'll find the little girl?

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I have a feeling that season 2 is getting ready to take off.

Yes it did start a little slow but I'm thinking that they want to Kay down a good cover story before the action starts. There seem to be alot of storys within the story's.

I love this show!!!!!

They really need to kill the wife off, which they wont do of course because of the dynamic she creates.

But she really is not believable as a character to me, way too emotional and unstable, she wouldn't last a day in a real crisis situation like that:)

Check out the comic......that's all I'm sayin' with no spoilers....issue # 8 to be exact. :tu

Also from the tv show she had a better take on the Carl situation than Frank did.

One of the best things to hit the airwaves in awhile, imho. So sick of the unReality TV shows, or the CSI:omfg's!

Really looking forward to Andrea turning into a lean, mean, zombie killin' machine. Its gonna happen, and I can't wait! Now they just need to find a reason to stick her in a swimsuit for me. :)

kickerb 10-31-2011 06:59 AM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
Another well done episode last night. I especially loved the scene with Daryl, Andrea and the hanging zombie. Daryl was not happy about the way the zombie "went out". Pretty amazed he was going to leave the zombie there. The other scene I really enjoyed was when Rick and Lori were discussing what to do with Carl. We now really see the dynamic of how these terrrible times force people to think they would be better off dead. I mean she tells her husband that they should just let their son die! And great job from the writers, perfectly bringing back the deer scene to help convince Carl's mother that he wants/needs and should have every opportunity to survive injury.

Well done again, cannot wait till next week.

Kind of made the whole episode! Nothing wrong with a flashback now and again to keep us on our toes!

I need to watch Season 1 and then I am going to start with 2. I have no cable, so I have to catch these any
way I can. I guess like with my horribly late start with Deadwood, I am going to be a pathetic latecomer,
but I am ready to watch this tonight.

Blak Smyth 11-01-2011 01:18 PM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
My wife asked me a question and I didn't know the answer:

"Do you think Shane left Otis for dead to give him more time to escape?"

or

"Did Shane leave Otis as revenge for shooting Carl?"

I think if he had left him to escape he would have shot him once and been gone. Because he began to beat Otis I believe it was meant to be revenge.
What do you guys think???

mase 11-01-2011 01:19 PM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I couldn't believe the ending. When Shane was looking at the "bald" spot on his head, I thought he was bitten or a bullet grazed him.

mase 11-01-2011 01:23 PM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
Also, I didn't buy any of the writing around the mother saying that perhaps it was best if Carl died. It's her only son! Just not a realistic thing for a mother to say.

I thought Otis was grabbing on to him. I though the beaten started because Shane needed to run and Otis was holding on to him.

Did i see that wrong?

Interesting question. I think it depends on how you view Shane's relationship with Carl. We know that Shane is fond of him, but he's been acting like a jerk to him. When I first saw it, I thought he shot Otis so that he could get away. But I also thought, why didn't he just shot him in the head? Why make him suffer by getting eaten alive?

Perhaps the revenge theory explains this...

That's how I took it and I see it as a necessary evil, Shane had to get the medicine back to Carl

If I remember correctly, he shot him from a distance out of reach for Otis to grab him, and then he approached him instead of running.

Off topic a bit, but how does a show have a 6 episode season?? What schedule do they air it on?
Every MONTH,
Every Two WEEKS??
I know this is how many Eastbound and Down had, but I didn't see that on HBO either, so I have no idea
how long you wait for a new episode.

its was just a pilot show, wanted to see if they would get viewers, if so they would get the money for a full season.

It started last year on Halloween and was shown everyweek until over......is this season only 6 episodes too???? I hope not, most seasons are 13 episodes a season.

This is how I saw it.

Shane shot Otis to buy time to get away. Otis grabbed Shane almost immediately after being shot as Shane started wrestling for Otis' bag. Otis knew what was going on and tried to keep Shane there. Otis' gun goes off, and Shane grabs it and it and beats Otis with it. Otis has a fistful of Shane's hair and finally lets go, so Shane can get away.

It was pure survival, no revenge was involved at all. Shane even apologizes before he shoots Otis. If you look close, it even appears a few times that Otis is actually gaining ground on Shane, because Shane's gimp leg is slowing him down.

Watch again for yourselves:

Demise of Otis

kickerb 11-01-2011 02:11 PM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
agreed, not revenge. but somewhere in that moment, i bet Shane was thinking bonus points from Lori, since they had their love triangle thing going on.

near the end Lori gets emotional and tells Shane to stay (he had mentioned leaving the group)...

13 episodes this time around, and a 3rd season secured after they broke records for this seasons premiere.

Being that this is based on the character Rick for the most part... I know this is a pipe dream, but...

I always thought it would be awesome to have a very dynamic cast. Every few episodes, out with the old... in with the new. Maybe some survive longer than others, but in the end... they all die. That'd be my series anyways.

This show and Boardwalk Empire are the best shows on TV.

I was a little disappointed w/the first couple episodes of this season but the last one was terrific. According to the sneak peak for next week it appears that Rick will pick back up the deputy uniform and kick some undead @ss :tu
