My friend spoiled the episode for me but I completely thought he was joking until I watched it myself. Honestly who saw "Rick kills Shane, then Shane turns into a zombie, and Carl shoots Shane" coming?

In a grassy field, makes it feel like a samurai showdown.

Read some of the comic plot synopsis, and it is true that you don't need to be bitten to turn. Once you die you turn, which means everyone is infected.

That's going to be an amazing and devastating revelation to the characters. I'm almost sad to have it spoiled now. Just an awesome twist. Think of the implications...

Parents who have kids -- or in Laurie's case, are expecting a(nother) child -- now have to face the reality that they will be a mortal threat to their children if/when they die. And in this unpredictable and chaotic world, that could be any time.

Polluted water supply certainly sounds like the most plausible explanation for how the disease spread. Wonder how that happened though.

If Laurie miscarries that baby is gonna eat its way out, then Laurie will kill Carl. Rick wont have the balls to kill Carl and Carl kills Rick. Rick kills Glenn and Maggie and Hershel. Then they introduce Christian Bale and he kills all the zombies

Something i have seen repeated multiple times is that the end of season 1 the scientist guy whispers something to rick before they leave. They think it is that, there is no hope, the human race is all infected.

In the comic the they find out about 60 or so issues in, and Rick gathers them and tells them "They (the survivors) are the Walking Dead" which is a really cool plot twist by the author. Also upon learning Rick goes back to find Shane (Whom Carl shot in issue 6) and digs him up and confirms this as Shane is a zombie, thus Rick shoots Shane in the face.

Reading up on the series really enlightens you on the authors take of the human race.

I do like the series on AMC not following the comic per se but gaining inspiration from it as i am not sure even 1/4 of whats in the graphic comic could be on TV.

PS for you Asians there is a character in the comic of a katana wielding bad ass bitch, that has zombies for pets...

I enjoyed the season. I like how they leave it off just outside the governor's town(least it looks like that). Ok I haven't read any of the comics, who the hell was the dude with the katana with 2 ppl with no arms on chains with him and wtf is that?

Actually i believe that is the prison, not the Governor's town, and the fact that they are trying to be true to the comic and introduce Michonne is damn awesome.

My wife is the biggest anti fantasy, sci-fi thought that scene was cool and wanted to know more about that.
