They killed Shane??

Post by BROUSER »

Okay, so they killed Dale, and he played the role of the super-ego, the higher conscience, the influence of the morals of an advanced society. His role could be filled by memory, sort of a martyr. A "What would Dale do?" sort of thing. But Shane provided the Id role, the rabid self-protection, the preservation of self, do-whatever-it-takes to live and thrive. How are they going to get along without that? Will the whole group descend?

Well F! I haven't seen the latest episode yet. Oh well, Shane was starting to get annoying. He was a malcontent that was dividing the group. Daryl is my favorite.

I liked season 1 better. I liked that they were moving around to new places encountering new people. Once they settled down, it became boring just watching group dynamics with a little walker killing thrown in.

Is this about the cons that help cops show?

Well, in the comic Shane was dead LONG before they got to this point. He wasn't around for all the hoopla at Herschel's farm. And afterward Rick really descends into the rabid self-protector role more than he has been.

Also, in the comic, Carl killed Shane as a human being, not as a zombie. I wish they would've kept it that way.

Ah, ok. That's not bad actually. I got the first season out of a redbox once and it was cool. I've been waiting for the second season to show up there but it hasn't happened yet. The gf doesn't get any tv channels and I only get one, so we're limited to dvd's for all television purposes.

They're still on the second season. They took a hiatus in the middle of the second season to film. It ends next week.

Well if you've read our posts in this thread I would hope that simple deduction would lead you to the conclusion that we're talking about a tv show. That, coupled with my youtube link, should sum it up.

I feel fortunate not to have read the comic so I can just enjoy the show. Later I can go back and read the comic.
I'm looking forward to the season finale. More zombies!! That's what the show has been lacking. We're getting one or two zombies per episode, and now the zombie hordes are about the descend on the farm.

Eh, they've deviated so far from the comic already that I don't feel like I know what's coming now.

Yeah, they have not been able to have as many zombies in the show as the comic due to budget constraints.

Like, remember that scene at the beginning of the season where they're stuck on the highway and they hide under/in the cars while a shitload of zombies walks through? That was actually supposed to be what they start calling "herds" and it was supposed to have like 10,000 fucking zomibes in it. They just didn't have the budget for all the CGI and shit to do it.

I'm hoping they get a little more crazy with the amount tonight. The show hasn't really gotten across the point that there are solid impenetrable walls of zombies all around the way the comic has.
