everyone on the show but darrell couldnt act their way out of a wet paperbag. horrible charater development only makes the acting look worse. Rick annoys me a lot more then shane ever did. How long till breaking bads back on? am I the only one that think heisenburg would be just fine in this world. Hell I think the dad from malcolm in the middle would do alright. This show should have folded when the budget was slashed and the writing talent walked. the show itself is like a zombie now. Walking around yet going nowwhere. Just waiting for something to put it out if its misery. /rant

Why is it that every character is supposed to make split-second perfect decisions in a zombie apocalypse? The point of the show is that the characters cannot make calculated decisions from the couch like we are. If every character made great decisions in every situation in accord to rationale non-zombie-world logic like some are purporting the show should follow by, logic is sated, but not a TV script. We watch TV for entertainment. Get into it, but not every strand of logic will be sufficed. TV shows are about character reactions based on the given circumstances, not what viewers sitting on their couch would do if given the time to think about it outside of the show.

That said, I can see Shane being conflicted...killing Otis, somebody he didn't know, in a situation where only one would make it out alive, versus killing your best friend for no immediate survival reason, is an entirely different situation. Could it be that Shane wanted to kill or be killed? He was thinking about it but when Rick called him out, he didn't know what to do? As a viewer, it is fair to say what YOU would have done, but to say the show should script based on your reactions as a human being in a non-apocalyptic setting is more far-fetched than the inverse imo.
