Hmm...I am thinking Hershel for sure, maybe Maggie. And Andrea (just my guess). I'm thinking at least one will die...I think the Hershel camp hunkers down and dies, with the original members running and one getting picked off along the way.

A friend of mine who doesn't have cable decided to use my home as her Walking Dead watching location.. so I got to see season 2. Haven't seen the first yet, but I loved season 2. The last few episodes were intense. Loved it.

Minor spoilers below for those who haven't watched the finale yet.

One problem I had with the finale was how Rick seemed to kind of be bragging about killing Shane. He didn't really say the whole story, which probably would've made the group feel much better about it.. maybe it's just me.

Wow, it's like they decieded at the beginning of the season to spend their entire SE budget on the final episode. It's sad, because it shows that if they had the budget, they could really make a transceding show week after week. The grim reaper with the armless walkers was a fine touch :lol:
Lots of stuff was really cool about this episode, for those who say some of us never say anything good. The first 55 minutes was spot on and quite entertaining.

Of course they had to ruin some of the greatness of this episode in the final 5-10 minutes when it went back to a soap opera. And I'm sorry, Lori needs to have her intestines ripped out with a beltsander. This is the kind of shit that pisses me off about the show. She basically told Rick to kill Shane ("So you killed someone who was a threat? Shane is a threat...to me...to Karl...") like 3 espisodes ago, and now that he did it, she's gonna get all pissed now? Why, because she told Shane he was a sex volcano last week? Jesus this shit just gets stupider and stupider. I can understand Karl being confused by the whole thing, but Lori? WTF is that? And then the final monologue by Rick....I don't know, what, he's Shane now? Fabulous. I thought he was supposed to be the conflicted leader, half Shane, half Dale...I guess we'll see where they go with it next season. But the whole Lori thing is garbage. Also is T-Dog going to do anything else other than that patented sideways glare? I mean I know dude must have worked on that for hours in a mirror, but really, how about throwing the (T-)Dog a bone or something? Maybe next year...

BTW...what was that they showed at the end...the Governor's mansion? I assume that and the heli at the beginning were the foreshadowing to season 3...

Agree with Bucklion fully. Loved the episode in the first 55 minutes, but taking out only two characters who 90% of the Walking Dead fanbase won't even know the names of is pretty underwhelming. So not only are only expendable characters killed, but at the end, Rick doesn't really explain why he had to kill Shane and goes on some diatribe about his leadership. WTF? The only bigger WTF moment was Lori's unfathomly dumb response to Rick saying he had to kill Shane...I know she might be conflicted, but she had just told Rick that Shane was a loose cannon and had to be dealt with.

I like the change-up from starting with action and not ending with an unexpected twist, but not in the finale. The gruesome deaths and overall epic proportion of the zombie invasion was cool and made the episode good, but not great like I expected it to be (see, I can be critical too :biggrin:). And FWIW, apparently the building at the end was a prison.

It has it's moments. The reason it's so popular is because it's about zombies and the first season was great. The first half of the second season is [censored]ing absurd. It's getting better again. That doesn't mean that we should just quit making fun of the ridiculousness because "we don't know how we'd react in that situation". :lol:

Why is it that every single zombie we've seen has growled and moaned the whole time they're on screen except for the one that got Daleface? He was standing in tall grass in the dead of night with no one in shouting distance yet he gets got by a walker. Sucks for Daleface that Carl had to run into and [censored] with the only known Ninja Zombie on Earth.

There aren't many things that scare me.. but a Ninja Zombie just might be one of them...

The person that saved Andrea, the one with Walkers as pets, is Michonne. A certified bad bitch that uses a Katana to fuck shit up. She's an awesome character from the comics.

The end was showing the prison that Grimey's Gang (TM) takes over, I assume in season three. Pretty logical spot. Fortified, if not looted, it has food for a while...and I think the heli will end up belonging to The Governor, the villian in season three.

Also, I happened to catch a bit of that talk show after, and Robert Kirkman, in response to a viewer question that asked if we'd see Merle, Morgan or Duane in season three, said "I'm 100% positive you'll see 33% of that group". :lol: I'm expecting that Merle is with the Governor, and they know Darrell is with Grimey's Gang, and that's why they haven't tried to kill them or some shit.

So, Rick, Carl and Herschel make it back to the freeway traffic jam. Rick & Carl have a little argument and, after everything that has just happened, Carl goes stomping off alone again.

When that happened, I did this: :lol:

The barn burning looked pretty great. That was a nice shot with the flames and the zombies in the foreground.

Had to hit the mute when Rick & Herschel (still alive) started their roadside debate.

The Lori character so needs to follow her comic-version's story arc. Her reaction to Rick telling her about Shane was just obnoxious and ridiculous.

This came out of left field, having never read the comics, and I loved it. Definitely much darker than we'd seen up to this point.

Right after the first season of TWD ended, I started trying to find info online. I hit up the comic's Wiki. Took me like a half hour to read every issue's plot synopsis. I knew (hoped) what was coming up. That's what made the first half of season two bearable and also maddening. The source material was so much fucking better than that shit.
