*** The Walking Dead Season 2 Official Thread! ***

I'm wondering if the baby will be born zombie now. Since it is unborn, when it is born it could be zombie?

I'm betting that baby will never be born. Lori will die soon.

Maybe if it dies in utero.

Speaking of said infant, how the hell long has Lori been pregnant? She is still wearing the same skinny jeans, she has not even switched over to sweatpants or even baggy jeans or khakis or something.

Well, keep in mind the knife Daryl used on Randalls wound to get him to talk when he was tied up in the barn probably had zombie fluids on it. Also Shane had cut his hand, and wiped it on the bus during the scene when he was locked in the bus. Then after the zombie licked the blood, he wiped his hand over it again. So got zombie slobber on his open wound. If this theory is right then keep in mind that Daryl fell on his arrow, also used for zombie killing.

yeah it pisses me off cause they really dont give any references to time frame. i have no fucking idea how long it has been since they left the cdc. so i have no idea how prego she is. she at least missed one period, so thats all we know.

im guessing she is maybe 1-2 months along now.

yeah but, you also had the 2 cops that had no bite mark. plus randall had his neck broken and still came back.

i think its pretty clear that when you die, you become a walker no matter what.

i think that is what jenner told rick at the cdc which is why he wanted to vaporize with the place. he knew no matter what, hed be a fucking zombie when he died.

i dont think theyre being that detailed with the knife and arrow (although they should be) but like i said, randall got his neck snapped and still went zombie.

even on the talking dead that basically said "i think its clear everyone becomes a zombie when they die" but they still didnt give any details of transmission.

The less popular the times become i find myself with increased happiness. It's not just the fact that the lowest common denominator aka popular culture is being readjusted to its rightfull place, I find there actually is room for myself where stank, pukes, chaos and ignorance does not reign supreme.


As for popular cultivators, i suggest go blindly pursue nothing and seek instant gratification.

It's following the comic anyways, in the end they all die.

2 down, one to go

I can't see them doing a fourth season.

Too bad!

There is still another episode. Or are you talking about next week?

This is why i hate these actors who get big and famous then asked to leave the show to persue other ventures.. ala david "asshole" duchovy from xfiles. Well duchovy didnt do shit after leaving then begged to come back. Jon Bernthal (shane) is a great actor but he's a real jerk if he did ask to leave the show to do LA Noir on TNT. Too bad shane is dead so theres no way he can be brought back.

Shane was never going to last long. Carl killed him much earlier in the comic.

the dude with the eyebrows, the moral one-

he didn't come back as a walker. what's up with that?

also, LOVE the farm house. Is that a real house or a set?


anyone know.

can't wait til next week.

where is the OP?

Its not the comics. They could've and probably would've written the show to keep shane alive and keep the show going. Jon Bernthal thinks he's now mr big so he asked to leave the show. He is no different than duchovny. Totally ruined show wirhout shane.

Shot in the head, don't come back dead

'thinking the same thing. Last episode was good I hope the season ends with a great show, overall season was blah though.

They shot him in the head.

Double post

The last half hour of the show seemed like it was five minutes. That is good tv. I think next season will be epic. They will be leaving the farm. Not sure if Maggie stay with Hershel? Either way, a lot of the soap opera stuff is now gone, so they can get down to some serious post zombie apocalypse stuff.

I have not read the comics, but I did know about Shane thanks to the AMC leak. But I had no idea it would go down like it did.

AMC is infamous for cutting the budget and the original producer has backing from TNT for a new series. TNT will not be stupid enough to hamstring the budget. Bernthal obviously has the chance for a higher profile, better paying role. I assume his contract allowed him to leave especially if his character was supposed to die anyway, at most it killed the character off quicker if they knew about it back when it was filmed. I think his contract was about done anyway. I think the network is reducing the cast, 2 dead in 2 episodes, so chance are he was gone either way.

The last couple of episodes have been slow build, big payoff in the last segment. Hopefully next week will be a great episode since so much of the season has been spinning its wheels.

Q: You’re obviously very close to Frank Darabont and were quite candid about how upset you were when he was forced out. So naturally that begs the question: Did you ask to be written out of the show?

Bernthal: You know, no. I did not. This was always the plan. This was always the plan that this was going to do down this way.

He got his ass kicked by ACs.

The Plan was for Shane to die, but he didn't know if he was going to go to another show. TNT liked the LA Noire and the director wanted Shane (I wouldn't be surprised if Dale doesn't show up on the show, he fought tooth and nail for the director to stay). Also in regard to the virus and the sister who in the first season was bitten and died and took hours to reanimate and Shane who died on that field and took 5 minutes to come back. Maybe it has something to do with proximity to numbers of the walking dead and being all ready infected. It could be that the dead or dead infected tissue and virus are communicating on the cellular level by some rudimentary communication saying I'm part of the network. So everyone being infected is one part of the infection cycle. But when you die and if there are alot of walkers in your vicinity (remember the hoards of walkers in the field approaching, since your body has lost function of control the dead virus around all the necro flesh and it's way of communication rapidly turns the human into a zombie creature.

Shane dying and turning into a zombie within 5 minutes (but the difference was the fact there was hundreds of zombies hundred feet from that area approaching all the action). Then with Andreas sister she died from being mortally bitten and bled out but all the zombies around them and/or within range where dead (so it took her longer to turn without the super charging of the virus from alot of walkers). Then the guy that was bit at the camp in season one who was left by the side of the road slowly dying (Since he didn't die his body had control of his systems, but with the bite it added the dead tissue to help the already infected guy (which everyone is infected) to speed the process of zombification along).

I know that is a long shot, especially since I figured and somewhat haven't let go that this is part of our genetic structure and it's just a way of nature clearing out a species that has gotten to big for it's environment. And the ones that are immune will be few and start the species over again. Shane turned so quickly and for him not be sick and to turn that fast that virus must have had help and the only difference was the amount of walkers within close proximity (hundreds).

If you want gruesome in Season 3, how about...
Lori has pregnancy complications. She is on bed rest and suddenly feels something is wrong. Experiencing severe cramping, she calls for help. The pain eases as someone checks her now swollen belly for a baby's heartbeat. There is none. Repeated checks give the same result. Lori breaks down in tears at losing Shane's baby.
Minutes later, left alone to grieve, her belly starts to move and the once dead (newly zombie) baby claws its way out of the womb, killing Lori. Then...

I just can't watch it anymore. The soap opera female BS is way too much. Hate it.

That is interesting. Like a hive mind.

Yup. The zombies have all the freedom.

I believe Sophia did get bit on her neck. There was blood there. I believe it happened near the water falls where her doll was found. Probably getting a drink and then got attacked by a zombie and fled leaving her doll.
