Wait, Shane DIDN'T die almost right off the bat in the show?
Man, they changed a whole heck of a lot, didn't they?
They just made some events from the graphic novel longer, a lot longer, like the farm from book 2 iirc, yeah that turned into a season...
and they changed the order of some events.

I missed the first half of season 2, but last night's episode was really cool. I loved the bar scene.
Two of my buddies were watching it in 3d on their new "3d tv" lol
Having never seen the first half of the season (except the last episode before the break), I have to agree... that farm is a little boring... not like the episodes I remember watching from season 1.

Well I wont lie, the first half of season 2 is pretty much, the exact same thing as the last half. Id say watch the first episode of season 2, simply because it had a few rather tense moments. But your good after that

May be the only show in the world where the show is longer than the book. Each comic book is like 6 episodes now. Currently, it'll take 546 episodes to catch up.

Ok, since we are obviously past that point in both, how long was Rick in a coma in the tv series?
Because in the graphic novels it was only a month if I remember right, and I have a VERY hard time beleiving that a greiving wife would have an affair with his best friend after a month.

That could easily be made in a couple of days if they have the gas and stuff. I myself have gone from Las Vegas to North Dakota in two days.

They said the roads were jammed up already, and would have most likely waited for things in Philly to get bad before leaving, they might have had to make a good deal by foot. That being said, I don't see why people aren't settling into areas and rebuilding civilization, that seems more logical than wandering around, chasing rumors across the country.

Ah, fair enough.
Still, that was a major.... blech, thing about it that made the TV series feel as though they wanted Sex to have Sex.

Summary - Jon Bernthal plays Shane... he will leave the show at some point.

I'm not sure how close they can follow the comic on that issue. I mean, they've already done some pretty controversial stuff, but THAT? Might be a bit far.

Oh, I don't know. That particular event isn't all that bad. They've already set it up in many ways...
Spoiler:
- Shane drawing an bead on Rick
- Shane killing Otis
- Carl saying, "Dad did the right thing by killing Sophia". As Lori says, Carl's turning cold.
Yes, Shane is practical, but he's really a jerk about it. Like Dave Navarro said on the Talking Dead:
Its like when your girlfriend asks how her pants look. You can say, "Hmm, you may want to go with another color," or you can say, "Those make your arse look huge." Both accomplish the same thing, but one is kinda a jerk move. Shane would go with the arse size comment... I loved this characterization of him, and this sort of behavior does not make him the most endearing of characters. So I think offing him wouldn't be that big of a surprise... Carl doing it would be just fine based on above bullets, I think.
No, the real surprise will be if the touch in any way the insanity of the General (is that his name? dude who kept his walker daughter with her teeth pulled out as a pet, and set up walker fights in the arena, etc... ) I really wish they would bring in Michonne as a strong female character, too.

Did lori appear to speed up after hitting the walker, thus causing the accident. Why didn't she er, brake.
Spoiler:
It did seem a bit off, didn't it. Amusing, but I think I'm just considering it as a continuity SNAFU. Or, it could be justified by her just panicking. People do weird stuff when their car fishtails... she could have hit the wrong pedal, etc. She doesn't really strike me as the best under pressure, you know? In fact she tends to just do whatever with zero thought... panic / react then clean up the consequences later. In a zombie apocalypse, that sort of modus operandi really should get her killed.

Well she actually said why she did. She thought Rick was DEAD, not in a coma, and she needed someone to protect her and Carl. And considering the world was going to gak, FAST, I think that would easily happen in a month.

You know I don't think that guy was going to shoot Rick. He was probably just going to force him back to the farm at gun point. I guess it's still a justified shooting anyway. That's the problem wIth the show, it's all backwards.
Spoiler:
In the book he keeps running into all these horrible people evil people. As a result he becomes a very hard and brutal man. Well none of that stuff has happened so that shooting just comes out of no where IMO. So far all that's happened in the show is he's found an enclave of kind hearted people taking care of the elderly in Atlanta. That killing was out of character for TV Rick (but not comic Rick. It's like they've confused the two).

It was perfectly in character for TV Rick to fire first. Both people were acting extremely shifty, both were potential threats to Carl and Lori, and he didn't know that they wouldn't shoot him and Glen and force Hershel to take them to the farm. Hell, even just letting those two go knowing that about the farm would be asking for trouble. Throw in the fact that Rick just recently had to shoot Sophie and is facing extreme pressure from Lori and Shane, and it fits TV Rick perfectly to shoot the two when they go for their guns.

But why would sleeping with him be required, is what I'm getting at.
Shane was his best friend, he (should have) would have protected her without the sex. He even did so in the comics (though he tried, very often, to get some, from my understanding). To put it into the TV just feels like having sex in the show for no other reason than to have sex in the show....

Women are emotional creatures. If she though Rick was Dead and Shane was there protecting her and Carl then it makes sense she would develop fellings for him. The whole end of the world thing accelerated them.
Spoiler:
Its kind of the same thing with Glenn and Maggie. When you don't know if tomorrow will be your last day you tend to quickly develop feelings for who is around you.
I'm almost caught up to the latest episode. I finished season 1 on Netflix and god damn it was good. There was a season 2 marathon on AMC so I DVRed every episode and only have about two more to go. So far The Walking Dead is my favorite TV show behind Breaking Bad. Now I just need to finally catch up with Mad Men on netflix before season 5 starts next month. AMC has become my new favorite channel.

In the books it did account for this; she slept with him on the way down, as a sort of "just needing release". After that, it all stopped, and she refused his advances, even before Rick showed up. It just doesn't make sense....
Spoiler:
Also, Glen and Maggie don't "love" eachother in the books; they are just the only ones left, and so start with the naughty. Neither of them have baggage coming into it, other than "No one else is here, so I might as well love you".
