The impression I had instantly crumbled, and if it wasn’t for his destruction of Ed, the wife beater, I would really hate Shane. Then, BAM!, Lori throws that little tidbit on the table, something that Shane doesn’t bother denying. I understood what he was going through and was hoping things would work out for him. I was feeling his pain that the woman he loves is unobtainable once again. I was happy I was feeling more than ‘meh’ about his character. I was really starting to like Shane up to that point. You could almost forgive Shane for shacking up with Lori if they both thought he was gone, but Lori was working with information that Shane gave her and either didn’t have the whole truth or just assumed Rick was dead and took advantage of the situation.ĪR: That part was a pisser. Spez: I can’t remember if this was the case in the book or not, but I let out an audible gasp when Lori said that Shane told her Rick was dead.
It was seamless the way the two former police officers worked together, and it adds credibility that these guys were partners and best friends. A perfect example is when Daryl wants to throw down with Rick, and immediately Shane is there backing him up, and the two just manhandle the hillbilly trash. I really liked the synergy Rick and Shane have. I don’t know how, yet, but I’m learning to appreciate the character. After Sunday’s episode, I can officially say he is. This isn’t even getting into the split between Shane and Lori.ĪR: Okay, I’ve been complaining since the first episode that Shane had not been growing on me. The redneck, Ed wants to build a fire to keep warm despite the fact that it might attract walkers. The women aren’t happy that they’re the ones that are always stuck doing laundry. Throughout this episode we saw some dissension among the ranks though. He’s set rules and he insists that everyone follow them. Spez: It looks like Shane has a dictator-like rule over the camp. Perhaps she didn’t believe he was there, or maybe even thought he could read her whore mind. She desperately wanted to go up to him, but she it’s as if she felt too bad to do so. She was torn between incredible happiness and holy-shit-I’m-a-tramp guilt. Not just for the reasons you mention, but also the look on Lori’s face. That scene was a favorite of mine in this episode, “Tell it to the Frogs”, too. You know that he’s Rick’s friend and partner but there was a part of him deep down that wished he was dead.Īlien Redrum: You seriously need to get out of my head.
What made the scene even better was the stone cold look on Shane’s face. First off, I’m man enough to admit that the scene where Carl runs up to his dad was incredibly touching. They got it in there and now they’re building the tension in the camp. You know they could have waited and packed that in towards the end of the season as he wandered around wondering whether his family was alive or dead. Spez: I am so glad that they didn’t stretch out the meeting of Rick and the camp into a later episode. Meanwhile, we got a deeper look into the workings of the camp of refugees that have set up shop outside the city and it seems that they’re not a happy family. This episode saw the emotional reunion of Rick with his wife and son and a rescue mission to save Merle Dixon who was left on the roof of a building in Atlanta. The ratings are up and the show is chugging along at full speed. We’re now halfway through the first season of AMC’s The Walking Dead.
