WTF is wrong with Glenn?!?

"You can put that in my room." :eyeflutter:

"Oh... uh, thanks, I'll just put it in here." :walksaway:

SERIOUSLY.

 

[mr roboto]

Glen strikes me as the video-game science lab type nerdy guy from when things were normal. Just cause he has had to kill some undead doesn't mean he has game.

Go into the chem lab in college, grab the smartest guy there, and ask him how many women he has dated. That's Glen.

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.

Spoiler

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.

Woot! Cannot wait!

Shane planned to kill Rick, but he was also conflicted. Hell, he even invited Rick to shoot him at one point during the exchange. So yeah, murder may have been the preferred option, but suicide was at least a secondary option for him. He just couldn't go on with things the way they were.

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.

This is a great post. Initially, I thought Lori reaching out to Shane seemed out of place given her earlier concerns. But your explanation about Lori witnessing Shane get shamed by Rick makes perfect sense.

I'm starting to think that Lady MacBeth aka Lori spoke to Shane that in because she wanted him to confront Rick. This way Rick would have to take Shane out. She wanted him to take Shane out after her little chat with Rick in the tent. When Rick came back with Shane and seemed all cool about it, she went to Shane and lit the fire. Just my

Excellent point. I'm thinking there is a certain devious quality to her that may come out more as the show rolls on. I hope so, anyways. Makes the show more interesting.

We need to start a topic just to bag on that horrific show. I'm a lifelong comic book fan, used to be a comic book artist (briefly worked for Legend Comics in the 90s), and I DESPISE that show. I think I dislike Kevin Smith the more and more I watch it. Originally I thought, AWESOME...it could be Pawn Stars with comic books! Most of the crap they look at is stuff made in the 2000s???? A ####### Catwoman Barbie really? really? however, the uncomfortable exchange with that MILF was - other than that....the show needs to go!back on topic....I read every spoiler as I can't get enough of the show. If that spoiler is the true season finale we will ALL be very, very happy.

Not sure if anyone will come in for it, but I will have an encore performance of the Walking Dead at the bar that I work at this Sunday night (10:30pm show). Figure it might be cool for people to watch it on a 110 inch HD projector (which usually has Sports on it).

I think he was the Sheriff or something and Shane was his deputy. Seems like it would have to be one of them. Daryl's a loner and T-Dog apparently gets paid by the word.

Didn't realize this. Actually, I thought they were partners (and just presumed that they were therefore of equal rank).

it seemed like Shane was losing his marbles long before being zombiefied. he started doing things to show that he was coming unglued (smacking his head), and I thought they made a real point of loudly playing the sound of him breathing out of his mouth throughout the whole episode. it was almost as if he was turning zombie before he even died...

I think he smacked his head so he could tell everyone that their hostage had hit him before he got away.That being said, I don't necessarily disagree with your theory that he may have started turning before he died. Obviously, there's more to it than just bites & scratches, given that Shane was never bitten and that Darrell made a huge deal of pointing out that the walker they found in the woods had no bites or scratches.
