Its quite interesting to see how different the comic and show are - and quite intrigued to see how it continues and changes.

Daryl is def one of the best additions - maybe he will turn up in the comic - be a cool addiiton given where they are at at the moment.

I must re-read the comics to see if Andrea was the same at the start of the comics as she is sooo very different later in them....Andrea is one of my fav characters in the comic...

Sophia and her mother are very different.....

@Mr. Morden

Is she still around? I haven't read much after meeting the Govenor since I left the job where we all pooled and read the comics. I keep meaning to pick up the trade paperbacks but it keeps getting put off

I'm still waiting for Mearl's triumphant return, and not in a dream.

I think out of all the farm folks I like, maggie is the only one .. took me all season so far to try and figure out who the hell she was, bugged me so much I had to finally hit up IMDB, she was Volkoff's daughter from Chuck

The old doctor guy can go, since he's getting looney and he served his purpose healing everyone. And the rest of the Featured Extras in his house can go too. Dale doesn't bug me so much, he's old and he think's he's the father figure of the whole group. I don't think he can help getting in everyone's business just because he's nosy.

Which she do you mean ? - I'll update below on Andrea /Sophia etc:

Enjoying the comics alot - I buy them as Tpbks

In the Comic:

Ayah the one that could put him in a ditch.

Oh definitely...Shane would obviously have no qualms about bumping Dale off...like I said I expect lots of character confrontation in the near future.

Yep, should have kept his cards closer to the vest on that one. Like others said though he was emotional at that moment.

Man this show might as well be called The Crawling Dead.

I love the comic and the first season was pretty decent. This second season feels like the second season of Heroes and Season 5 of Lost. I wanted to like those shows at that time but like TWD I feel like the show is dropping off a bit. I want to like it, I really do but damn.

Daryl is pretty awesome and Rick is starting to grow some balls. If they kill off some characters and get Frank back I think they might be able to make a pretty good show out of it. I am not very optimistic about all that though...

Why? Its the law of the gun now. Shane could walk up and cap in front of everyone yelling "whats the frequency Kenneth!" So what?

on the positive I'd like to see more back story on other events and persons. And more firebombing!
There are avenues where they can always liven things up with a flashback based purely on a location and with none of the characters. I think they even did a webisode like that.

....I don't know that reference but no. He couldn't just execute Dale. He'd have to do it all sneaky like with Otis. This is still a morale group.

Or what? Shane has the gun. Rick is a shooter and future crazy girlfiriend is a shooter but she'd just as likely go his way.

No, if Shane murders someone that will be the end of his tenure with zombie survival club especially over something that petty.

Or what? He who has the gun makes the rules.

Not in that group actually. Only about half. Of those I'd proffer the wussy factor is extreme except for Daryl.

So either he kills eveyone or they kill him. I think there's an acronym for that: MAD.

Who's going to kill him again? Daryl won't. He'd just book off, maybe with crew cut chick. Crazy girl is actually with Shane and no friend RV hat guy (I like RV hat guy by the way). Wade (?) is weak and would do what he is told or stay with cowgirl. Rick would be conflicted. He gets conflicted a lot but would be the most threat as Shane did boink his wife. I'd take issue with that. Who else?

in the first Season Darlys brother nearly took over by doing exactly this - its often suprising what people will go along with..............

A strong leader, even if brutal or exploitative may last as long as a caring leader..........

Exactly. Just an interesting thought.

I'm liking crazy Shane more and more and Rick less.

Oh, you keep watching Mr. Frazzled. Let's just say Machoness is not the determining factor in who can kill whom.

Maybe so. but I don't think the kid's going to shoot Shane in the series.

Maybe so KC.

Spoiler:

He definately is. They've foreshadowed it so much. Way more than in the comic. They're laying the groundwork to crank the irony to 11. Shane has already saved Carl's life (by killing) and Shane has now taught Carl how to fire a gun. The only reason Shane is staying is because of Lori and Carl. All this will lead to his downfall.

Mayhaps its just that thats from the comic and very open. I forget most viewers have not followed the comic in any manner. It seems almost too easy.

I'm inclined to agree with Kamikaze here, the groundwork for Carl to shoot Shane has definitely been laid ...in fact it wouldn't surprise me if it's the mid season " cliff hanger".
Now, Carl may not kill Shane when he shoots him...but I do believe he will shoot him."

I think It'll be the actual season finale.

Easy? You already bought your ticket for the Shane vs. Dale Steel Cage Match with folding chairs and ladders and everything.

It seems to predictable. Shane is too much of a potential bad guy now, but frankly he's 100% right. Its too easy. If it were more ambiguous it would be harder. Now if Rick went over and capped him for banging the wife, that would be unexpected, and so cool.

Oh...I'd count on a Dale vs Shane event to occur ...

That would be fine.

No...that would predictable. You've got it backwards. You're saying the cliche thing is unpredicatable whereas the unpredicatable thing (which even after you've been told it was going to happen didn't see coming) is predicatable.

ANYWAYS forget about all that! Something just dawned on me. Mad Scientist guy in season one obviously didn't tell Rick Lori is pregnant. He said something completely different!

Something about a really bad yeast infection...

Oh wait I know. ADAMA IS A CYLON!!!!!!
