The Walking Dead - Season II (Page 11)

I'm up to Issue #90 now in the comic series.  Only 2 more and I'll be totally caught up.  

Now what will I turn to for light bedtime reading? 

Good point

Wow!! Season finale next week already?!?!?!?!?!? Waaaah!

Looks like an epic battle between the zombies and the living.

and it had to come to rick doing it too!!!! total shocker, I thought he'd die in the zombie invasion of the farm.

ETA: Oh and Carl totally redeemed himself

If they keep killing off people, will they take in more to keep the show going? and yea Carl definitely redeemed himself, at first I thought he had gone crazy when pointing that gun.

Not a moment too soon, if you ask me.

No comments on the big reveal: that one doesn't need to be bitten to become a walker?

I totally agree on your first comment and as for the highlighted I have been thinking they would be going this rout for a while. Every time the walkers bled on them it seemed logical that they would be infected. I am just wondering how they will explain the difference between being infected and waiting till you die to turn and being bitten and turning while alive.

Seems simple enough to me: to become undead, you must die first.

The disease (for lack of a better term) can be carried as dormant by the living, but is not one that kills you unless you are bitten by an infected walker. A bite from the diseased will kill you, and death by any means will cause you to return as undead.

I think it's a virus or something.  Maybe Shane picked up something when he cut his hand and rubbed it near the zombies on the bus a few weeks ago?

Also, now that Shane and Dale are dead, can Lori please die next week?  That would totally redeem this season for me.

I have been hearing this all week from my friends lol

zombies are back.

people are turning.

zombies are dying.

all is good and right in zombie apocalypse land again.

I do like the "turning when dead even if not bitten" direction they are taking.  most of them seem fearful of turning into one and suicide has been put on the table a few times as a way to ensure that you don't turn into one.  Now that's off the table.  only option now is to keep L-I-V-I-N.

Shot to the brain for suicide will stop them from turning.

yep, you're right. 

suicide back on the table!

But no little wussy cutting of the wrists like the sister was trying to do.

I wonder if everyone has already been infected by the (dormant) zombie virus, or if it's just some people, and you only find out if you have the virus until after you are dead.

I'm also glad that Randall is dead. I found him completely annoying, but maybe I'm biased, just bc I couldn't stand Damian on Rescue Me.

Maybe now the group will meet up with Randall's old group. Safety in numbers! I don't get why they didn't want to join up, but maybe the thought was that Randall's group would raid all of their resources.

Looked like a combination of two things to me 1) they wanted to protect their resources 2) the other group looked pretty violent, like they might try to take everything by force in order to sustain their own group.

I have a feeling that they'll take in loaners, but they won't join up with a group.

The kids made kept talking about how they can get wild and have already attacked and raped people. I doubt anyone is the group would want to be around people like that.

I was wondering how they were going to reveal the "not have to be bitten" 

Although a good scene, and within the TV story line, I thought the GN did it better, especially with Tyreese's response (Tyreese is not in the TV show)  I like the show, I just remember the OMG moment when I read it.  BTW I like the twist/turn the TV show has taken from the original.  Using the same basic premise, but telling a slightly different story

I think the season finally will be like the last panel of issue 14 (I think - I have compendium one)  Too bad it ends next week

he stabbed him - didn't shoot him. I do not think it is a dream. That just does not seem like a good plot device for this show. It really happened. Shane is dead, zombies are coming, and the group is either going to stand and fight together or splinter further.

btw anyone looked at some of the articles on the potential upcoming Walking dead game (set in the same world and some of the same characters but from a completely different perspective not seen in the GN or the show so far.

Yeah, I also doubt that it was a dream.  One of the biggest differences between the graphic novel and the TV show is that Shane dies fairly early on in the GN -- when they are at the first camp right outside Atlanta.  So if they wanted to maintain any kind of consistency between the show and the GN, Shane was living on borrowed time, so to speak.  Which is kind of too bad, since he definitely added a lot to the mix, at least for me.  And I don't think I'm spoiling too much by saying that in the GN, Dale lives longer than he did in the show.  His character did get tedious at times, but I'm going to miss him.

I do hope they bring in some of the other characters from the GN, too, like the Governor, Tyreese, and Michonne.  It's easier to cover more ground in GN form -- a TV show can't be nearly so quick.  Hopefully if we get a couple more seasons, we'll see some of these other characters appear.

I haven't read any of the GN, but I know I saw some info about casting for the Governor, whoever that is.

Seems like most people are talking about the big reveal with Shane turning, but it actually happened with the kid first.  That was my WTF moment (Daryl seemed to be slowly tumbling to the order things went down).  I was thinking "Wait, surely Shane killed him.  How the HECK did he turn?!?!"
