ok, whut
Why did Shane turn into a zombie?
And did his death somehow call out to that horde of zombies or was that just a coincidence.

would have preferred zombie shane to hold his arms out and say to Rick, "say hello....TO MY CHILDREN!!!" and then have the horde descend
this fkn show guys seriously.
Rick's speech to his son was terrible.

did they finally kack Shane?
MAJOR POTENTIAL SPOILER avert your eyes if needed but:
if when zombies sense people their impulse is to head over and eat them and tear them apart until there's nothing left, where do new zombies come from?― candid gamera (s1ocki), Tuesday, November 2, 2010 12:39 PM
well, this doesn't address your "tear them apart until there's nothing left" but in the comic, one of the major zombie rules that has NOT yet shown up in the show but almost certainly WILL (because some big plot points circle around it) is that if ANYBODY in this new world dies (whether it's from a zombie bite or not), they eventually come back to life as a zombie.
Which is part of what makes the title cutesy: the walking dead doesn't really refer so much to the zombies as it does to those who will ultimately BE zombies in the not-too-distant future, which is to say our protagonists do u c

ok, so that whole thing was actually a reveal from the show and not just whatevers

they killed shane in the comic like by the seventh issue iirc

why are there *so* many zombies now all of a sudden
see my note above?

she was talking in a british accent so i looked her up and she's born in america but raised in Britain. xposts

re that note forks: that doesn't explain why there are a huge horde of them right there. they didn't massacre a bunch of people recently iirc.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 04:35 (twelve years ago) link
my bad: i'm not actually watching the show anymore so i thought the question was why are there so many still around period.more proper answer is likely because the guys writing the script didn't care i guess

fat lot of help you are, forks :(

also I am tired of Carl's bullshitI am a terrible person
is Darryl ever going to want his gun back?
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
ugh Carl. I hope they Sophia his ass.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:13 (twelve years ago) link
please.
He's practically mute for 1.5 seasons & now suddenly it's The Carl Show! Hate him so much
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:19 (twelve years ago) link
They really should've not done the last two minutes of this episode.
Carl's shot attracted the zombies, right? Why not just Shane's and leave it at that? Such a dumb overreach.

presumably they needed to introduce the zombiefying of the recently dead

That's not going anywhere good.

Ughgrrrr hate that character right now!
― *tera, Monday, 12 March 2012 05:31 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like zombiefying of irl dead ppl makes the show actually maybe/hopefully interesting imo. But why did it take them TWO seasons to get to it, is my question
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:38 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not sure, though this is the first season they've been anywhere long enough to see the aftermath, though it happend so quick with Shane I'm not sure why it didn't with Dale. Either way its a good reveal to hold off on until now, even if it was handed poorly (that one line about zombie cop they killed who didn't have a bite mark...and....this?).
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:43 (twelve years ago) link
They shot Dale in the head before he died I'm pretty sure.
― this fucking guy that i speak to you about (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:47 (twelve years ago) link
ooh, of course they did. my bad. I do tend to play Bejeweled when I watch it.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:50 (twelve years ago) link
the zombie cop wasn't a cop, that was Randall. Shane broke his neck
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:51 (twelve years ago) link
lol bejewelled
No, the cop from episodes ago when they were going to originally kill Randall. They made a point of noting that the dead cop had no bite marks, and they assumed it was the scratches that did it. Maybe I'm misremembering/misreading.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:54 (twelve years ago) link
And I find myself reaching for Bejewelled whenever there are dialogue scenes and I feel my eyes are going to roll into the back of my head.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link
emo days of our lives with occasional zombies
Also Lori is either awesome at sticking the knife in with Shane or just totally oblivious. "I dont know whose baby it is" "Sorry that u fell in love with me k thx bye"
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 06:59 (twelve years ago) link
carl is SO ANNOYING, his little fucking face.
herchel for me is the comedy gold of this show, all his lines are just so stereotyped and awful, to the point that it's actually hilarious. "me and that couch became very good friends, yep folks, now i have to go until my next appearance in this bad videogame"

still watch it asap on a streaming site every week
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 12 March 2012 09:33 (twelve years ago) link
I'd like to see them go the length of the comic, which I haven't read. Just like watching zombie drama. My only real complaint is too many commercials, and yeah hate Carl.
― JacobSanders, Monday, 12 March 2012 09:38 (twelve years ago) link
carl was a little less offensive this week. actually I thought this was the best ep of the season.
― Simon H., Monday, 12 March 2012 10:00 (twelve years ago) link
to be fair it has definitely improved with this ep and last week's, hugely.
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 12 March 2012 10:11 (twelve years ago) link
I agree. And it's still got awesome special effects no matter what. I mean, how could I walk away from a pitchfork through a zombie head :D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 13:50 (twelve years ago) link
why is everybody trying to give carl a gun that isn't his.
WTF WHERE DID YOU GET THIS GUN, CARL, ARE YOU INSANE?i stole it from daryl and don't want it anymoreYOU MUST KEEP IT

one of the major zombie rules that has NOT yet shown up in the show but almost certainly WILL (because some big plot points circle around it) is that if ANYBODY in this new world dies (whether it's from a zombie bite or not), they eventually come back to life as a zombie.
This is one of the things from the comics that seemed unbelievably dumb.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:19 (twelve years ago) link
i got the feeling that this was a recent/new development in the zombie 'illness'. although I guess, also, they haven't seen anyone die from anyone other than zombies until recently.
― akm, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:22 (twelve years ago) link
what about those dudes they shot in the bar?
― brownie, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:24 (twelve years ago) link
both shot in head right?
― piggyback payoff (NZA), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
dave shot in head, tony first in gut then in head
i appreciated that they finally attempted to make some shots of this show look vaguely comic book-y this episode. want more of that please.
like, i can stand dumb father/son talks if they are going to silhouette it in stark black n white etc
― piggyback payoff (NZA), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
Hasn't this always been the case from Night of the Living Dead on? The dead or freshly dead come back to life? Because otherwise there's a chicken or egg thing going on.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 March 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
As the main contribution to Zombie Lore from the series, it seemed pretty striking when I read it, but it being a bombshell (It is I think the bit mentioned above where Rick says "Don't you see, WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD (do you see)") is a bit ridiculous, like dude there are already these things called crematoriums?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 12 March 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link
The scene where they find a "live" zombie hanging from a tree may be the first indicator that the living turn to zombies when they die
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
Plus having a zombie horde show up doesn't seem too unrealistic given that they already established that there is huge hordes of roamers (or whatever they're called). Also, they are still very near populous areas given their proximity to Atlanta and Peachtree City
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
yes but did they all suddenly die at once
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know what you mean by that but it's about time we have an episode that has ten times more killing
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
maybe i should watch it again but how rotten did the horde look? could it be randall's people who were supposedly only 5 miles away, all now zombified? that would be convenient.
