Lori goading Rick into killing Shane and then getting pissed at Rick when he did was a pretty bat-chit crazy ### turn even by nutty AMC wife standards.

I enjoyed her ####### Shane, then getting pissed at Shane when Rick comes back like she did nothing wrong, then telling Shane not to ever talk to Carl, and then getting pissed at Shane for not talking to Carl.

I liked it too. Just saying Lori was pretty off-the-hook at that point. AMC has a strong history of the wives of their show's lead characters becoming completely unlikable at times. Lori did it here but to her credit she did it with gusto.

My favorite Lori moment was her crashing her car when there anything near her to cause a crash.

Wasn't she swerving to avoid a walker in the road? The crash made plenty of sense. What didn't was Lori leaving the farm to go and leaving Carl alone after being upset with Rick that he was leaving them alone.

She was looking at a map, hit a walker straight on and then crashed

Lori has redeemed herself with all of the lawn mowing she's done. She's paid for her crimes.

Well that, and operating a refinery to make sure they still have good gas.

That's right. I still think the crash was understandable. Her decision to leave the farm on the other hand ...

Again, some noob stuff.

I don't really like the fact that if you die, you are a zombie, no matter what. If this was a virus or something you should have either gotten the virus and turned or not. Then you just fight it out to the death with the zombies. The way this is setup the entire human race is going to go extinct, no matter what. There is no hope to turn this around with medicine or the technology on hand. They went to the CDC and the CDC had nothing.

If you could say, ok, lets find a real way to bunker down with fresh water wells and agriculture and start up society again, and slowly clear the world of the zombies, fine.

I almost wonder if the writer of the comics didn't want this to be "The Road - Now with Zombies" so he made everyone affected.

So what's the endgame? They all just ultimately die off?

I don't get why it matters.

When people die they die. You just have to kill em again as a zombie. Not sure why that has anything to do with the "end game". The virus they all have doesnt make them die any faster.

She really turned into a team player once she faked her own death and moved behind the scenes.

 

[ghostguy123]

Why would they be? If it's a real virus or bacteria strain or something like that why would being born after the event matter? she's clearly been exposed to carriers by now.

So, how do you test this theory. Stab her in the heart and put her in a cage and wait to see if she turns, then if she doesn't everyone starts going bareback?

SInce they don't know what it is, anything is possible.

As for testing the theory, well, that would actually be a nice way to test it. Ya look dumb if she turns, but eh, gotta try something ya know.

 

[ghostguy123]

If everyone is infected and if they die they turn into a zombie means the lifespan of the earth is merely as long as the longest living human can manage to stay alive, no more. Is there anything at all to suggest this is not the case?

Is there anything to suggest this isn't the case in real life right now?

Again, no idea why everyone being infected and turning when they die has anything to do with anything, other than just making things more dangerous when people unexpectedly die.

it matters because it provides a fundamental human dilemma... much of what we do, we do for posterity: kids, money, etc. if there's no future for the human race, what then? why bother? when the show taps into those kinds of things, IMO, it's at its best.

 

[ghostguy123]

How/when did we determine everyone has the virus and will turn when they die?

a scientist at the CDC whispered it in Ricks ear before he died

And then we get confirmation when Rick kills Shane, and Shane comes back.

 

[ghostguy123]

Seriously, they don't even bother trying to make up a believable way for people to get into trouble with walkers anymore. They commonly just have walkers sneak up on people in the middle of the woods. A freaking ninja couldn't sneak up on someone in the middle of the woods but mindless walkers dragging their feet through every twig and rustly leaf imaginable just come out of nowhere.

I do agree to some extent, but try going like 4 years without eating much, basically no sleep, and total exhaustion constantly, then think if it would be harder or easier to let your guard down a few seconds here or a few seconds there.

I think Lori was always mad at herself for banging Shane. How long had Rick been "dead?" A day or two? Sure didn't take Lori long to jump on top of Shane. I think she hated the fact she did that and probably hated the fact she liked it. Lori had a lot of issues and that's being kind. Rick and Shane just ended up getting in the cross hairs.

Why would it mean there is no future for the human race?? All it means is that you need to stab people in the head when they die.

We are referring to the "end game" for the show the other poster was talking about. I guess he didnt realize people can still have babies.

The fact that everyone turns when they die doesnt actually change anything about anyones lifespan or the future of the world. It's just scary, and makes things a little more dangerous.

they give no indication of time when they first did it but it was clear to me they have been banging for a while. And they also have the flashback story about Lori being unhappy in the marriage when Shane drives up to tell her of the shooting of Rick which helps set up why she so quickly spread her legs for Shane.

yeah- ok.

human race goes on with babies.

and yeah- turning won't affect lifespans and/or mortality rates... but lack of medicine, doctors, etc combined with most of the world covered with zombies trying to eat you might.

I still don't get why people aren't hunkering down in houses/buildings more.

same thought- it's unclear to me if walkers can handle stairs... have they been shown going up stairs? I know we've seen them in areas that are "upstairs", just not clear if they turned up there, or managed to climb up.

The timeline on this show has always been a bit sketchy but main Wikipedia page says he was in the hospital for "weeks." Not saying that's a definitive source but I'm too lazy to look anywhere else.

Regardless of the time and how we may feel about what Lori did I don't think there's any question Lori's guilt over banging Shane was a huge part of the issues she was dealing with and how she interacted with both Rick and Shane. I don't think she ever forgave herself for that and like I said before I think she probably also hated how much she liked it.

at least 60 days. We don't know the exact time frame from when Rick was shot and the outbreak occurred.

But that does not matter because we are talking about the time frame from when Lori thought he was dead.

46 days after Lori thinks he is dead, Rick arrives in the original camp.

It does seem the ideal situation would be on a multi-story building that has a few ways to get out in a rush situation. Something like a high-rise condo building would be ideal if you could manage to clear it effectively. Ideally perhaps near water that you could get to a boat and get out. Morgan seemed to have a secure 2nd story location that he was able to hold down.

 

[tommyboy]

so we've established Lori was a ho, andrea was a #####, and shane was nuts.

now we just need to get moving with the Tara, Maggie, Rosita threeway

It's not her fault Shane is (was) so desirable. She was at his mercy, holds no blame.

I don't think we know for sure when Lori started humping Shane. We just know that when they were at the camp they were doing it and seemingly had been doing it for awhile since Andrea noticed it and Dale probably did too.

Day 17 is I think when they left for Atlanta. Day 60 is when Rick got there.

Maybe it was the comic where she did Shane on the way to Atlanta. Which would've been maybe 2 or 3 days after hearing Rick was dead, tops.

it was the comic series. I just checked. It was revealed at the end of issue 4 that they slept together on the road to Atlanta.

The last panels were

Shane says, "But what about that night when we - on the road down here?" Lori, her back to Shane, says, "That night was a mistake."

 

[packersfan]

A hypothetical floated at another board: if Rick dies in the next episode, who would and who should take up the role of group leader?

I think you could make a case for everyone except Judith, Eugene and Tyreese.

Again, some noob stuff.

I don't really like the fact that if you die, you are a zombie, no matter what. If this was a virus or something you should have either gotten the virus and turned or not. Then you just fight it out to the death with the zombies. The way this is setup the entire human race is going to go extinct, no matter what. There is no hope to turn this around with medicine or the technology on hand. They went to the CDC and the CDC had nothing.

If you could say, ok, lets find a real way to bunker down with fresh water wells and agriculture and start up society again, and slowly clear the world of the zombies, fine.

I almost wonder if the writer of the comics didn't want this to be "The Road - Now with Zombies" so he made everyone affected.

So what's the endgame? They all just ultimately die off?

I don't get why it matters.

When people die they die. You just have to kill em again as a zombie. Not sure why that has anything to do with the "end game". The virus they all have doesnt make them die any faster.

it matters because it provides a fundamental human dilemma... much of what we do, we do for posterity: kids, money, etc. if there's no future for the human race, what then? why bother? when the show taps into those kinds of things, IMO, it's at its best.

Why would it mean there is no future for the human race?? All it means is that you need to stab people in the head when they die.

We are referring to the "end game" for the show the other poster was talking about. I guess he didnt realize people can still have babies.

The fact that everyone turns when they die doesnt actually change anything about anyones lifespan or the future of the world. It's just scary, and makes things a little more dangerous.

yeah- ok.

human race goes on with babies.

and yeah- turning won't affect lifespans and/or mortality rates... but lack of medicine, doctors, etc combined with most of the world covered with zombies trying to eat you might.

I still don't get why people aren't hunkering down in houses/buildings more.

same thought- it's unclear to me if walkers can handle stairs... have they been shown going up stairs? I know we've seen them in areas that are "upstairs", just not clear if they turned up there, or managed to climb up.

Hunker down in buildings with no food or water?

And yet again, i was referring to the other poster talking about the end game for the SHOW as if people turning when they die has any bearing on that at all. I would think it does not.

I think Lori was always mad at herself for banging Shane. How long had Rick been "dead?" A day or two? Sure didn't take Lori long to jump on top of Shane. I think she hated the fact she did that and probably hated the fact she liked it. Lori had a lot of issues and that's being kind. Rick and Shane just ended up getting in the cross hairs.

A day or two?? Way way longer than that.

OK a few weeks. Still wasn't very long before she started getting her groove on with her husband's best friend.

End of the world,thought husband dead anyway(because shane told her he was dead).

Plenty of women's husbands actually die and they don't start humping the best friend the first chance they get. Grieve a little, will ya?

I don't know about the comics but Lori on the show was much like Sally Draper and Skylar White in my opinion. Seriously flawed and capable of some really f'd up decision making. The fact Lori's husband was the one decent guy out of those three (at least in terms of honoring their marital vows or not breaking the law) makes her look even worse than the other two.
