I totally respect not digging the show (but it is unusual from the norm of what I see/hear). I love a lot of stupid girly shows that Denis can't stand. I also totally respect breaking bad is a phenomenal show, I can't however get into it.

They are both AMAZING. My husband and I watch them both together and tonight I was asking which he preferred. Like if he had to pick one. It took him a while to give me an answer but he picked Walking Dead and I am totally opposite! It's definitely a close choice for me but I would pick Breaking Bad without hesitation. I am much more attached to the characters, although, after last night's episode I am so in suspense over the Walking Dead so it's a tougher choice after that. I respect your opinion about Breaking Bad but I just wanted to say I am not sure how much of a chance you gave it before you gave up on it but it may be worth revisiting some day when you are bored. I literally HATED the show until episode 3 then I was begging my husband to watch it every night (we were watching on Netflix). HE decided to start watching it around xmas and I happened to be in the living room wrapping presents each time when he watched episodes one, two, and three. Like I said after the first two I complained about how much I hated it. Then i didn't say much after number three and the next night I was all "Hey, don't you wanna watch some more of your stupid new show that I hate :D?" lol. And the rest is history. I was HOOKED!

After watching the episode tonight a few really interesting things took place that I want to write about but I am too tired so... Maybe tomorrow :eek: Holy cow though, what a cliffhanger!

Did Shane want to die? No one seems to view his death the same way I did. I think he wanted Rick to finally prove himself. No matter the outcome, Lori and Carl would be left with the stronger man. As evil as I think he was, I think Shane wanted that to be Rick.

This is a very, very interesting take on it. I really like your thinking. I know I am the odd man out I don't think Shane was as evil as everyone else thinks he was and this description of his death sounds very much in line with what I think was really going on with him.

Disturbed? Yes. Angry with a short fuse? Yes. Suffering a psychotic break? Possibly. Inherently evil? I don't think so. Before killing him off, I am really really glad they stuck a few important scenes in there first. The one with him and Lori talking where she thanked him, the one where he talks to Carl and the scene where he confronts Rick about neglecting his son all, in my mind, tie him up neatly before he goes. While we clearly see he is a danger to the rest of the group (and realistically, leaves Rick no choice but to kill him), it's also not so simple as 'he's a bad guy'. He cares deeply for Carl and Lori, and I am glad they emphasized that before he konked out.

Hopefully I will have time to write more later :D

Yesssss. Show spoiler (but not really if you don't know the comic characters)

Michonne confirmed showing up next week. UNFORTUNATELY for a brief moment and we won't see her face. It sounds like she's coming in just like in the comic and I'm so excited because she is the best. They better not water her down at all. No actress cast yet, so I think it's just a teaser to satisfy the comic crowd.

So I am catching up on this series.
I am on episode 6 "Sercets". Now I do not like Shane, I think he is the most arrogant person ever.
But am I only person who wanted to jump his bones when Andrea grabbed his man bits while they were driving down the road & he was like "Come on with it"? :rofl1:
I was "Oh yes sir I will be right there" LOL
It certainly doesn't help things that I just got off my shark week and my hormones are throwing a mini party but good heavens lol

ETA: I just finished watching episode 7... I have never cried during a zombie movie/show or anything like that but holy moly I balled my eyes out when Sophia came out and she was a zombie. I was SO sure she was ALIVE. Seriously, I cried over a zombie. That is pathetic but it broke my heart.
Don't judge me :p

I re-watched all of season one over the past few days with my brother who is hooked... and I have to say, I am kind of sad about Shane. I began re-liking him all over again. Sure he started going a little crazy, but I think he just REALLY cared for Lori and Carl. He just wanted to get things done and protect them. And I agree with him when he kept talking about Rick just going off and trying to save everyone and everything and not really being there for his son. I'm glad Rick and Carl's relationship seems to be getting better now though.... but honestly, I'm gonna miss Shane, man.

Even though I think he is an arrogant person, I agree.
Granted, a lot has to do with that scene with Andrea in the car and she grabbed his man bits and he was like Jump on it lol BUT I think he is super cute and a bad boy and I love it.

Gah I sound like a horny school girl LMAO

I know! They came up in my facebook feed and one of my friends posted them to my wall for good measure. I at least really want one for Smalls, because if it came down to it and there was a zombie break out she would be the only living creature to survive.
