S2 Finale

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!

It's crazy town! So many damned cliffhangers.

Okay, most importantly to me, I want to know who the Demon Hunter is. The cowl-wearing man/woman with two pet walkers chained behind them. Andrea will be the first to find out, and I am green with envy!

Shane got what was coming to him. Rick did what had to be done. At this point, it seems like no one else realizes that. I guess I'll know more once I start watching season 3. I hope Daryl is down with it.

The attack on the farm was intense. I knew we'd lose some, and I figured it would be some of the lesser characters. The teenage boy, the step-mom... I expected that. I'm still sad about Dale. I can already see how his absence is affecting the group's morality and sensitivities.

I'm not happy with Lori. Not at all. A few episodes ago she all but tells Rick to murder Shane to keep their family safe. Rick finally has to do it, and Carl shoots walker-Shane, and it's like Lori completely forgot about saying that she wanted it to happen.

I didn't expect Rick to let the cat out of the bag, what with them all being infected. I think he could have picked a better time, if at all.

I will start watching season 3 as soon as I find somewhere to view it online. If you care to discuss season 2, comment below. I'd love to get your thoughts. (No S3 spoilers, please!)

Thanks for reading.

Wow... so the next-to-last episode of the season was far out! I knew it was only a matter of time before Shane went off the deep end.

For just a tiny moment, I thought he was going to take Randall out into the woods and just murder him. I didn't see the plot that Shane had laid out. And was it really hard for him to accomplish his plans? He had almost everyone convinced, except for Rick. He even got Rick alone. He had Rick unarmed, and his own gun in his hands, pointed at Rick's face. For some reason, though, he let Rick talk, and that was his downfall.

I knew Rick had a plan; he was inching closer, he now had his gun out in his left hand. He attempted to get Shane's guard down and it worked. And that was that, with a knife into his chest, Shane perished. The anguish and agony that Rick must have been going through, I cannot imagine.

And then we have Carl. Yet again he's out of the damn house, but this time it was a good thing. I did think for a moment that he was blindly angry with Rick, and was going to shoot him. But! I knew better, didn't I? Walker-Shane is up and lunging. Carl pulls the trigger. The day is saved.

Except for that horde of walkers coming up the hill. Holy jeez. RUN!!!

Season finale soon...

S2:E11

Heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how the group will continue without Dale. He may not have always made the right decision, but I think he always had the group's best interests at heart. I'm glad it wasn't prolonged, and that Daryl had the fortitude to end Dale's suffering.

I hate it for Carl, too. He's got the one problem, always trying to get himself killed. I can't chastise him for having a boy's curiosity, but jeez. And now this second problem, being an indirect accessory to Dale being attacked and killed. It seems like Carl is having to grow up awfully fast, and he's got some darkness going on inside.

And as for Randall, I think he's still got potential to create a world of problems for the group. Hershel giving Glenn his watch? Classy.

I need a break after watching this one... ugh, I'm gonna miss Dale.

Thanks for reading.

S2:E10

Rick and Shane had it out big time. Seeing them go to blows, and Shane attempt to kill Rick, was disheartening. Add walkers to the mix, and we were left with an intense episode.

The boy is a problem. I wonder how Rick is going to decide to deal with him after sleeping on what to do. As for Andrea's methods of determining whether or not Beth wanted to live or die, I can't say that I agree with the means, but the end was pretty justified.

I would like to see Lori and Andrea have a physical confrontation. I have no prediction on who would win.

S2:E9

Awesome episode. Lori makes it back due to Shane lying to her. Rick, Hershel, and Glenn are attacked by humans and walkers... and survive! And we've brought a prisoner back.

Daryl is angry. Lori has calmed down. Shane is still a big problem. Cliffhanger? Yeah... Lori straight up tells Rick that she wants him to murder Shane.

I know Glenn is scared/worried/etc., but he needs to man up and be there for Maggie. I hope he fixes it. Carl is still awesome, and he handled the "You're going to be a brother" situation wonderfully.

Thanks for reading.

S2:E8

Rick is such a boss. He was all over the two guys that showed up at the bar. I'm willing to bet his judge of character was spot on; the two seemed shady from the start. Were they alone, though? I wonder if Rick killing Rene from True Blood and that fat dude is the last of their troubles in the bar. I blame Hershel.

Daryl hasn't gotten the praise he deserves. He went through a lot trying to find Sophia, and Carol seems to have given up. I think that give-up attitude is something that Daryl despises.

The Shane Volcano is still building. I guess that it's only a matter of time before it explodes. Add to it that Lori is now missing because of her wreck, and we have an interesting situation.

There's quite a few mini-plots going on right now. I'm interested to see how they turn out, especially the Dale-Shane fiasco.

Thanks for reading.

S2:E7

Oh, wow... such an intense episode. The group finally finds Sophia, and it's the worst scenario - she's a walker that's been kept in the barn.

The whole episode was great. Shane letting his rage take control, leading to the confrontation with Dale in the swamp and the opening of the barn. Hershel being stubborn, even with Maggie attempting to reason with him. Carl growing up more, but showing a darker side that I can only assume is a result of the trauma of being shot mixed with having to live in a world with walkers.

I did not see this coming. I didn't think Shane was going to create a shooting gallery at the barn. This episode climaxed well!

Moving on...
