Holy fucking shit, that may have been the best hour of TV I have watched this year. Great episode. The first
5 minutes totally fucked me up.

I saw it as a flash forward. Maybe I completely missed it.

Uh oh Herschel.

You got some 'splainin to do.

Fair enough, I don't have all the first season episodes committed to memory. Still a damn good
episode. Herschel defitinitely got some splaining to do. He was a total douche this past episode.
I am glad that hick didn't die, I like him more now after that episode, he has some fucking balls.

It's almost like the producers read my thoughts on detailing how this all came about. We have had flashbacks at the beginning of just about every episode this season.

Felt bad for Glen who just wanted to get it in again. Although, the Asian Haystack fantasy is a new one for me

Proof once again that you can't stick a sqaure peg in a round eye.

If a girl hands me a note saying she wants to do me and when, I get up from the table and head for the bathroom immeditaely with a return note for her to join me right there, I don't wait hours later in a barn.

Andrea found her groove.

Dale found a spine.

Glenn bashed a walker.

Shane is going Dark Side.

Rick and Lori had an air clearing aboot her and Shane and pregnancy.

Next week is the midseason finale. The Farm story should wrap up and hopefully the Sophia one too.

_________________

what is a "mid-season finale"? thats a new one on me.

No new episodes until February.

It used to be known as "Sweeps" when something big would happen as a cliffhanger until new episodes came back.

_________________

Was a decent episode. The end was a little shocking, couldn't believe she spilled her guts but I guess she
had to since she was dumb enough to leave that evidence in the trailer. Good to see Shane get some ass,
that chick is not as annoying as I thought. What was with the old guy jumping all over Shane? I used to like
that guy but now I am finding him quite annoying, I hope they feed him to the Barn Zombies.

Give Dale a break, he's just pissed cause he knows that in the comics he was the guy banging Andrea, not Shane.

_________________

if that is the case I will cut Dale some slack.

Outstanding final episode. The end was not what I expected, but definitely very good.

I was expecting Rick to kill Shane.

Awesome episode. Sucks that we have to wait until February for new episodes.

I might as well just start posting "spoilers" from the comics in this thread. I put spoilers in quotes because they aren't really spoilers anymore since the TV show is completely different from the comics. I would say the tv show is at least 70% different from the books. Case in point, we are probably around issue 10 or 11 relatively speaking compared to the comics and they just killed off Sophia. In the comics i think they are 91 issues in and Sophia is alive and kicking.

I want to say its cool that they are going in a different direction, but in the back of my mind I can't help but question every creative decision being made and whether it was changed to make the story better or if it was changed to save money for AMC. Without knowing the motivation its hard to judge. I do think its great that they kept Shane around. I don't think he'll make it to season 3, but they are doing a great job stretching out his undoing over the course of 2 seasons as opposed to cramming it into one shortened season which would've been the case if they stuck by the book.


If you haven't read the books and didn't want to because you didn't want to spoil the tv show I HIGHLY recommend that you get the books now. It won't spoil the show and all it will do is enhance the experience because you will gain a lot of character depth. And the books are fucking awesome so there's no reason not to read them.

btw, I'm not one of these people who sit here and criticize everything the survivors do on the show like I read on some forums. Until you are in a zombie appocalypse you can't say for sure how you will act at every moment. But, I will say that this show left a sour taste in my mouth when the producers asked us to blindly accept that the below conversation would've never happened over the course of the past 6 episodes...


Rick: "we're looking for a lost 12 year old girl"

Herschel: "that's weird, we just happened to catch a 12 year old zombie girl in the past couple days and stuff her in our barn. What a coincidence."

_________________

It looks like Shane points that out when the series comes back.

I agree that they're not spoilers anymore. Also looks like we get the Herschel ultimatum to Rick as well.

Very good last episode, kind of a shocking ending. I will miss this show very much.

I love Shane's character. I hope they continue to have him stick around, but I have a feeling that he's going to die by the end of the season

Holding onto hope he's the one that puts a bullet in Dale.
