I like her too but I admit I'm biased because I've been a fan of Laurie Holden since her days on "The X-Files." But they appear to be changing Andrea into more of a female bad-### which works for me and I think it helps the show too. Right now, all of the women are primarily passive characters. Andrea isn't or at least it doesn't appear the writers want her to be. I'm guessing we'll see more of that in the future.
Mom was a zombie for a long while. I realize it sucks she was put down but mom has been dead a long time.And we don't really know how long she was holed up in that room. If it was enough time for new guy's leg to heal...then that's ridiculous.Suck it up and get busy living or check on out.'Flying Spaghetti Monster said:I can agree with this, but then again the young girl just watched her mother being shot to death before her eyes - I know she was a zombie but still that has to leave a mark.In fact I would say that if that happened to my mother - I might be looking for a little payback toward those who did it, in the least I would want to them off my farm.'tdoss said:Not in my opinion.

There's a very obvious reason why they don't get infected by zombies.Had to be in the eyes or a scratch. But seems pretty incredulous that they aren't getting infected by splatter when they kill zombies. Like this episode, they should have road rash from fighting, and Shane cut his hand and used that same hand to kill with a knife. I'd think chances are slim they don't get infected fluids into their cuts.Wait, I thought when the series started all it took was to get zombie blood on you and you were infected?
You've split the difference....at least in regards to WWZ. Part of the US government operates out of Hawaii....so it isn't bad. Iceland is the most infected place on the planet.'Mario Kart said:

Watched the whole episode again and rick says lets drop the kid off and then scavange some supplies. So they left the securuty guards gun and ammo thinking they would grab it on the way out. Again im guessing they didnt check for fuel in the bus because they werent really there for that reason, the hunt for some supplies was just an after thought. It wasnt a school its was a DPW and there were at least 8 zombies still alive when they left, and who kmows how many more in some other building, it was a big area with a lot of buildings. The kid was noticably favoring the bad leg and was hopping around at times. Rick was pretty freaked out as he was shooting his gun thru the zombies mouth so the fact he kept firing even after he was out of bullets shows that , kinda hard to be thinking rationally when you have almost 600 lbs of zombies laying on you.As far as the infection goes i dont think you get infected by blood to blood (unlike the movie 28 days later) i think if you get bit and you get AN infection and you get sick and die you will become a zombie , and thats because of whats already been discussed in the spoilers when the CDC guy whispered in ricks ear.And who`s to say the lone walker in the field hadnt crossed the road and was on the other side walking in opposite direction.'slayer666 said:'tdoss said:I thought this was the worst episode of the season. Why drive the kid with the bad wheel 18 miles into town and dump him off. Just deadline his ###, it would have been the more humane thing to do. I was feeling pretty good about the show after the second episode, but last night was a total buzz kill for me.
This was my take also. Someone mentioned in this thread about the group not being intellectually curious enough about the zombie outbreak. Well, here's some of that, from Shane no less.The last 3 episodes have been really good overall. Show is finally starting to find its groove.'SacramentoBob said:
I've never read or wiki'ed WWZ. Just saying. In a world infected with zombies, I don't see how Iceland would be bad unless the germ originated from there.On the other hand, I would look to inhabit Hawaii and clear it of zombies. After a decade or so, with conservation, and with Hawaii being secured, I take a party out and head for New Zealand. It is a least closer to other islands and more importantly closer to Austrailia. Yes, Austrailia will be infected with millions of zombies however given 20-30 years, kids will have grown up and my party is larger. Two methods. If we are able to retrofit a cruise liner or ferry of some kind, dock in a port, lure zombies to said port, tease them into the. Oat and set sail to some other island that will be the "dead zone". Rinse, repeat for years with multiple ships doing this and Austrailia will. E clear of zombies. Sure, there is a need for fuel and reconnaissance for fuel will be a high priority. But, that leads us to option two and that is killing zombies with weaponry and so forth. Give people a couple more decades and living in Austrailia will be free of zombies. Do this all across the pacific rim and in a couple generations, the pacific islands will be habitable.As far as clearing the mainland continents, that would take many more generations and many more reconnaissance missions for fuel, food, weapons.
The reason I don't believe this is that he had problems dealing with what he did to Otis. As much as he wants Rick out of the way he would have a tough time letting him die like that and he knows if he doesn't come back with Rick he has no shot with her.'snogger said:That's what i took from that also.. The fight with Shane, plus his wife's concerns Shane is a time bomb, gave Rick the opportunity to take him out without having to actually pull the trigger.'KGB said:That's how i saw it. I thought the fight was well done too.'Daywalker said:Are you saying he decided to save Shane after being reminded of their past when he saw the dead cop bodies?great episodeI like how Rick looked at the two zombies in cop uniforms and it reminded him of himself and his partner and he saved him
Seeing the two Security cops next to each brought back him back to "Himself"..
He is still "Rick the savior" and I don't think he would be able to just leave Shane behind and act like nothing happened.
Shows the difference between how he sees the world and how Shane sees the world.
99.5% sure had it been the reverse Shane leaves Rick in the Bus andaway
Check it out as it really gives a well thought answer to most of your scenarios. Really....even if you're not a book reading guy....you'll burn through it fast..it's that interesting. I think it's been brought up in the thread....but the zombies(of the WWZ universe) freeze in the winter and thaw again in spring. Iceland sort of became a refugee camp for Europe but without the strict screening processes of the Israelis, numerous infected but not turned people entered it. Once they started going, Iceland became a cauldron that noone was able to escape.....and due to the freezing and thawing (winter on the planet is a bit longer and colder due to a limited nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India) none of the other countries want to exert the man power to cleanse it.
Well?
Yeah I would have knifed (not shot) him there at the school. No reason to beat around the bush and wait a night to think about it.

Oh come on. This was probably the best episode of the series so far.
I've only seen the first 15 minutes or so and the scene with Rick and Shane at the crossroads was the first time I thought "wow, that was good."

I don't think the series has suffered without him at all. One thing I don't understand - he's still listed as an exec producer although the mid-season finale was supposedly the last episode he had any involvement with.

Almost seemed like Shane was staring at it like it was no big deal at that point. He's accepted it.Eta: Was it the governor?
Why did the zombie cross the road?
To find the governor.
Lori and the kid need to get eaten, she's an idiot and the kid looks like hes dead already anyways. All the dead weight lies within these two characters.'jamny said:

Seriously.
Don't forget about the black guy. He's still around...I think.
Magic Johnson wasn't in them?
I haven't even read that far into the comics. It's the only logical explanation. We've talked about it since the CDC episode and now they're throwing it in our faces, so to speak.
Luckily I missed it, shuke. I'm really not trying to ruin it for anybody (deleted the post) and don't have any special knowledge from the comic books. I just haven't seen any other explanation and they've hinted at it in several shows now.
This could make sense. The 2 we know of that turned (well 1 definite, the other is assumed) is Andra's sister, and the mechanic guy from the first season who they left at the tree. Andrea's sister didn't look like she got too bad of a shot or anything, but she turned with-in 11 or 12 hours or whatever. The mechanic guy also didn't have too bad of a bite, but he was getting real sick, and they were giving the impression that he was dying from it. So if this theory is plausible, then the guys who Rick shot in the bar would have turned back into zombies if he didn't shoot them in the head. But does it work if you shoot the people in the head before they turn into a zombie. Seems to me, a lot of questions surround said theory....
I think that's the exact reason he shot them in the head. When you cap someone in the head, their brain basically liquefies. This all leads back to what the scientist whispered to him at the CDC.
would have been interesting if Maggies sister had killed herself to see if she would have come back right away. also makes me think of the zombie they found that was hanging itself. could have been someone who killed themself and turned maybe? I also think if this was the case, and was what the CDC guy told Rick, why would Rick still act like it makes sense to go to that army base? Makes you wonder where would be the best place to live or goit's an interesting theory, but still makes you wonder how it started and a bunch of other things
