One thing that bugged me about last nights episode: Rick and Shane are out in the field. Rick puts his gun away, then starts talking about how Shane is going to murder him. I don't think Shane had his gun out at the time.

 
One thing that bugged me about last nights episode: Rick and Shane are out in the field. Rick puts his gun away, then starts talking about how Shane is going to murder him. I don't think Shane had his gun out at the time.
Rick knew what was up. He knew Shane had lied about what happened with Randall and he knew at that point Shane had made up his mind to murder him. Even if Shane didn't have his gun drawn at the time (I don't recall if he did or didn't) it was clear to Rick what Shane was planning to do. And he was right.
 
Let me stress with the utmost urgency. If you do NOT want next week spoiled, do NOT click on the following synopsis of next week. I'm a sucker for spoilers. I always hate reading them afterwards. But this one is a DOOZY. Can't wait for Sunday.

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall. As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn.

Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns. The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight.

Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time. Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her. Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her. Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway. A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane - dead

Andrea - missing

Patricia - taken by the walkers

Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path. The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together.

The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them. Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo -- she bashes in a walker's head with it -- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.

Yeah, but it seems like Rick would have been in a stronger position not putting his gun away.

It pretty much describes the entire show, so don't read it if you want to be surprised.

Yeah, but it seems like Rick would have been in a stronger position not putting his gun away.
I think he was initially hoping he could talk Shane down. The last thing he wanted was a Mexican standoff with the two of them pointing guns at one another.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her. Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her. Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway. A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane - dead

Andrea - missing

Patricia - taken by the walkers

Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path. The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together.

The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them. Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo -- she bashes in a walker's head with it -- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.
Couldn't resist, looks fantastic. Where did you get this?
Haven't looked....yet. How bad is it, will it ruin the finale if I read it?? So hard not to read.
I read it and it actually got me psyched for the finale. It's almost a shot for shot synopsis. The ending is fn phenomenal.I read the first few paragraphs ...then i had to stop, just enough to hook me thats for sure :excited:
 
Yeah, but it seems like Rick would have been in a stronger position not putting his gun away.
I think he was initially hoping he could talk Shane down. The last thing he wanted was a Mexican standoff with the two of them pointing guns at one another.
I don't know if Rick ever really thought he could talk Shane down, but he needed Shane to actually be threatening his life before he could allow himself to kill him. Just knowing that Shane was planning on doing it wasn't enough.
 
Let me stress with the utmost urgency. If you do NOT want next week spoiled, do NOT click on the following synopsis of next week. I'm a sucker for spoilers. I always hate reading them afterwards. But this one is a DOOZY. Can't wait for Sunday.

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall. As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn.

Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns. The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight.

Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time. Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

Rutina Wesley from True Blood. They have the cast list up on IMDB, but still no Michonne.

Not true. You can tell a general direction from a distance which might lead you to walk in the correct direction to find it if that was beneficial to do. If the shot happens right on top of you, it would be hard to figure out where it came without a visual cue, but you'd know it was very close. When I'm hunting, it's not hard to judge the general direction as in, "that shot came from over on Bob's land." I hunt on my 80 acres with other people from time to time. I can tell you for certain it was that person who shot something because I know direction and proximity immediately.

Let me stress with the utmost urgency. If you do NOT want next week spoiled, do NOT click on the following synopsis of next week. I'm a sucker for spoilers. I always hate reading them afterwards. But this one is a DOOZY. Can't wait for Sunday.

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall. As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn.

Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns. The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight.

Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time. Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her. Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her. Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway. A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane - dead

Andrea - missing

Patricia - taken by the walkers

Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path. The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together.

The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them. Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo -- she bashes in a walker's head with it -- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.
SOOO Psyched for this!
OK, that sounds pretty awesome! But...How have they kept the casting of Michonne a secret?!?
The rumor was that it was going to be
Rutina Wesley from True Blood. They have the cast list up on IMDB, but still no Michonne.
I'm not going to read, but you might as well keep everything in the spoiler tags. Sure, neither of you have revealed anything yet, but... mother ******... I completely forgot I'd see the spoiler parts of the posts if I looked up. Luckily I'm not spoiled any further than I was previously, but I am a bit or the episode.Anyway, you might only say, "That's cool, but there's also this" beore posting a spoiler, but once you start that dynamic, some moron might come along and say, "Yeah, but it's cool the Govenor is going to come along and kill Rick but

Carl lives
. Hyperbole, but you get the drift. Personally, I wish I had never heard about the Govenor or any other future characters. If you're going to post a spoiler, there's no need to have anything outside of the spoiler tags. If someone wants to read it, they'll click. You might reveal something you shouldn't by trying to come up with something witty outside of the tags.

I'm not that torn up about spoilers. I watch previews and even watched those Italian videos a couple of weeks ago. I thought I'd just point something out I noticed. People were being careful about certain things, but then all of the sudden, everyone knew who the Govenor was because someone felt way too comfortable about the discussion happening behind the scene to openly post about him in the thread..

Could be that myth was propagated by the movie Red Dawn. In that movie Swayze says to shoot once, because you can tell where it came form on the second shot. It may have been in other movies too.Even if you're not familiar with gunfire sounds, think about people setting off fire works. When one goes off you have an idea of what direction it came from and can tell if it came from really far or a couple blocks away.

In the opening scene, where the four of them are kicking the crap out of the zombie, anybody else get an Office Space vibe when they were beating up the printer?

I shoot a 30/06. My buddy has a 270. If I hear a shot and think, "wow, that was close," I know it's in a general direction, but that it's far away. I could be on the complete other side of the 80 acres... as far away as possible. If my buddy fired off a shot, especially in my general direction, it's an eye opening shock. Those rifles at that proximity being fired without warning are shocking. Even with one shot, I can tell you it's "over that way" and be correct enough. If the originally quoted post is some sort of movie-induced lore, it's totally incorrect.

Hard to believe they are going to pack all of that #### into a one-hour episode. :banned:

Read the first 3 paragraphs. That' plenty for me and doesn't tell me anymore than I already expected. tx
 
1. How in the world did the zombie realize where the shot was coming from? When you shoot in the outdoors, its usually pretty difficult to determine the origination of a shot.
Not true. You can tell a general direction from a distance which might lead you to walk in the correct direction to find it if that was beneficial to do. If the shot happens right on top of you, it would be hard to figure out where it came without a visual cue, but you'd know it was very close. When I'm hunting, it's not hard to judge the general direction as in, "that shot came from over on Bob's land." I hunt on my 80 acres with other people from time to time. I can tell you for certain it was that person who shot something because I know direction and proximity immediately.
Could be that myth was propagated by the movie Red Dawn. In that movie Swayze says to shoot once, because you can tell where it came form on the second shot. It may have been in other movies too.Even if you're not familiar with gunfire sounds, think about people setting off fire works. When one goes off you have an idea of what direction it came from and can tell if it came from really far or a couple blocks away.
I shoot a 30/06. My buddy has a 270. If I hear a shot and think, "wow, that was close," I know it's in a general direction, but that it's far away. I could be on the complete other side of the 80 acres... as far away as possible. If my buddy fired off a shot, especially in my general direction, it's an eye opening shock. Those rifles at that proximity being fired without warning are shocking. Even with one shot, I can tell you it's "over that way" and be correct enough. If the originally quoted post is some sort of movie-induced lore, it's totally incorrect.
Also, the zombie mind is basically the brain stem or "reptilian brain", is almost like an animal brain. Consider this, when animals are spooked by a gunshot, how often do they run towards the sound? Not often, because they can tell where it's coming from. Zombies have learned that where there's noise there is food. So they move towards it.Zombies would get good at detecting noise direction because their drive to feed depends on it.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a myth because the natural adrenaline rush would make you more attuned to hearing where the next shot is coming from.
 
They won't kill him off just yet. There will be a confrontation and he'll be left for dead only to show up again later. The son will probably be the one to kill him to save maw and paw.
OK...so maw wasn't there to be saved...but the son did kill off Shane in order to save paw (does it count if it's the second time Shane was killed?)
 
Ok, like alot of you here, I consider myself the biggest Walking Dead Fan that I know. 2 KEY things to take from this episode which goes down as the best so far and they both happened early on, because we all can't get the traumatic end off the discussion topic.

1. Dale's eulogy, as spoken by Rick. He mentions while they're taking out they're aggression on Walkers, that from now on, we'll do things his way. "THAT is how we'll honor Dale." This set Shane off, to the point it culminated in his demise. Watch it again. It also motivated many of the troops, to really believe in Rick; TDog, Andrea and Glenn, who were all extremely close to Dale, even though this strength is likely short lived.

2. "We're back to that now? Right plan first time around, poor execution." Rick later goes on to humiliate Shane in front of Lori by the way, "you have a problem with that, swallow it!" and you can tell, Lori doesn't like seeing Shane treated that way by Rick (she's so confused its sad). He later again puts Shane in his place, "Its my call" in his best macho voice.

I feel these three sequences were a precursor of things to come, after trying to understand both Lori's misguided well timed affection, and Shane's sudden murderous plot. Shane was devastated when Rick chose Darell as his "wingman", and Lori felt Shane's pain. He later rationalized that he was in fact the better father to Carl.

Finally, Dale ends up being the team's and Ricks biggest inspiration. A fitting end to a great performance.

also Rick yelling YOU MADE ME DO THIS!!!! could of helped orient them in the right direction.
 
A few other points. "Whatever we thought it was" convo between Shane and Lori, touched Shane deeply. Bernthal is a master when it comes to showing his emotion. There was renewed hope he could claim the one he loved, yes he loved her.

Hershel finally figured out he not only welcomed the group, he NEEDED the group, not only inviting them in, but giving up his bed. Smart guy.

The talk from his dad really hard wired Carl to be prepared for Shane's death.

The barn scene with Shane doing everything he could not to kill Randall; He truly felt the only way to do the right thing for Lori and Carl was to kill Randall and thereby having to follow through on a plot to murder Rick, smashing his face in a tree in the process.

Can't believe the depth of this character's insanity developments.

Let me stress with the utmost urgency. If you do NOT want next week spoiled, do NOT click on the following synopsis of next week. I'm a sucker for spoilers. I always hate reading them afterwards. But this one is a DOOZY. Can't wait for Sunday.

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall. As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn.

Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns. The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight.

Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time. Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her. Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her. Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway. A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane - dead

Andrea - missing

Patricia - taken by the walkers

Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path. The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together.

The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them. Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo -- she bashes in a walker's head with it -- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.
SOOO Psyched for this!
OK, that sounds pretty awesome! But...How have they kept the casting of Michonne a secret?!?
The rumor was that it was going to be
Rutina Wesley from True Blood. They have the cast list up on IMDB, but still no Michonne.
Michonne's appearance will be very brief in the finale. She has no dialogue, and we won't even see her face. Speculation is they might not have cast the actress to play this role yet.

Let me stress with the utmost urgency. If you do NOT want next week spoiled, do NOT click on the following synopsis of next week. I'm a sucker for spoilers. I always hate reading them afterwards. But this one is a DOOZY. Can't wait for Sunday.

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall. As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn.

Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns. The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight.

Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time. Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her. Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Sanaa Lathan would be PERFECT.
