yup
hopefully season finale is a lot of zombie chowing down on awful people. No doubt the "generic" brand unnamed actor meat will be on the menu but I can't wait for at least some season regular to go the way of the dodo.
I don't know if you guys have been checking them out, but these "Inside Episode ### The Walking Dead: Episode Title" videos on The Walking Dead's AMC website are pretty great. They all give a great look at each episode from the point of the actors/actresses perceptions of their characters and gives some perspective on every key scene in an episode that you may not have thought about when you were watching it.

Yeah, I like those. AMC does a nice job with their bonus content every week.
Here's the "Inside the Episode" feature for last week's episode in case anyone wants to check it out.
Just picked up Season 1 3 Disc Blu Ray set yesterday and I am definitely enjoying re-watching Season 1. I picked up the Best Buy exclusive set with my rewards zone certificate and it came with a pretty cool mask and the 3 disc set. Can't wait for the season finale this Sunday but it will definitely be hard having to wait for Season 3 to start.
T-dawg had more quality lines in that snippet than he's had the entire season of the show.
Like what?
It's the amulet power of his enchanted stetson.
That would be a great webisode, BTW. Get the full backstory on how the stetson came to be enchanted by a powerful amulet granting the wearer power over Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Man, I do that pretty often too.
(sometimes even with fists)
Mini-assumption-spoiler, I guess:
won't Dale come back from the dead too? His brain remained intact and he must be infected too + the "makeshift" grave is not much of a hindrance - soo nothing is stopping the writers from bringing him back, right?

No, over active aggression.

They're all zombies; they just gotta die first.

If you look at Lori's parenting then Carl probably grew up with playing GTA and CoD. He got dem mad skills from playing video games I tell ya.

Cool line and all, but it doesn't really say anything about the characters. I mean, they could live until 100 and die of heart failure.
You take that back!!
Well, on Conan, he did say he's had his nose broken over 10 times. Probably doesn't work right

Lol!!!!
Jon Bernthal's septum is probably so swollen or deviated after all the breaks that he has about 1/16-inch of clearance combined through both nostrils.

I missed the same thing. Very confused by Shane and Randall's turning into zombies. Also, Carl needs to go, any scene with him is instantly fast forwarded through. Worst child actor ever.

My nose is broken and I can only breathe through one nostril, so sleeping sucks. Thats probably part of his issue. =P

For all the shit Carl and Lori get... they are not much better in the books. Carl's penchant for wandering in the series defies words, tho. That brat gets around.
I agree, I don't care for Carl at all.
As for why people are turning without any apparent bites, just wait til next episode, if you haven't seen posts explaining this yet.

I haven't. I will be patient and wait til Sunday to find out. Just very confusing how that worked out this last episode. Now I am looking forward to the next one even more!
The reason to watch, is to see zombies destroy the mostly terrible cast. Can't wait to see the no names that live with Herschel get devoured.

Just watched it again, Rick definitely waits around to watch Shane turn. He stands over him watching then gets emotional. It's clear as day.
Very excited for the finale.

Yep, I agree. Hate pretty much all the characters now except T-Dogg.

Having seen a spoiler of a certain character appearing on the show in S3, I'd say you should wait a few episodes into S3 before writing it off. Assuming the writing does the character justice.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Carl is one of my favorites in the comic. Such a boss.

How could anybody's favorite character be T-Dog? He's not bad, but he hasn't even been allowed to develop a personality yet! (He needs to get his own episode next season.)
Also lol @ butthurt Team Shane fanboys. Now you know how the guys on Team Dale felt!
So he knew that would happen, but he turned his back on the corpse, ignoring it and almost dying (if not for his sudden marksman of a son) as a result? Huhwhat?

His son turned up holding a gun on him, so he had a reason to ignore the corpse.

Uh... even if someone was holding a gun on me, I wouldn't turn my back on a soon-to-be zombie.
Of course, in that situation either one of them--Rick and Carl--should have behaved differently than they did.
It's maddening to try to apply logic to a show that screws up as much as TWD does.
*Shane running face-first into tree gif*
Guy with gun versus person that could turn into a zombie at one point during the next eight hours. Carl was the first treat.
Sure. He's already super emotionally messed up from just killing his best friend. Now his son has just seen him do it? Turning his back to deal with his son seems appropriate to me.

Even considering the plot convenient nature of the zombification time lapse?
Here's an idea: if you know Shane's body may turn into a zombie, why not maneuver yourself so you can see the corpse and your son? Is Rick locked into a 2D plane?
If Rick knows about the zombification process, his behavior doesn't make sense. In fact, there would be no reason at all not to put a bullet through The Corpse Formerly Known as Shane's skull before he can rise again. Except for the script declaring that things must play out like it did. (And aside from all that, you have the problem of Carl not saying, "Look out!" just to add more Drama to the scene. There's no excuse for that except bad writing, just like with Dale's death scene.)
I think it makes a lot more sense if he doesn't know Shane will turn. But we'll find out for sure in the next episode.
Since when has a zombie been able to jump/fly 20 feet? Relying on his son to call out is a valid option. Except his son froze and raised his gun at it. The whole time Carl had his gun up, he assumed Shane was still laying on the ground.
Rick seeing it for himself is needed. There is great reason not to put a bullet through the head before getting to see.

Jumping and flying? Huh? It shambled pretty quickly and silently after Rick. That's what zombies do in this show when you're not paying any attention. Rick's behavior is not what you would do if you knew the corpse to your back might suddenly come after you. (Not in a well-written show.) What was Rick thinking? "It probably won't resurrect while I have my back turned, so I don't have to worry. And even if it does, it won't move fast, so once again, I am safe to ignore it." Or was he so absorbed in Carl that he forgot? Was he so absorbed that he forgot the zombie could be a threat to Carl as well? How much more sense does that make? Sure, it's possible Rick knew (and, again, we'll find out in the next episode), but if that's the case, the scene's an even bigger mess.
I think its just as likely Rick didn't know and was looking at Shane with regret and sadness, trying to deal with what he had just done. Rick probably would have had his gun out at least (and he didn't) if he were waiting for Shane to come back, right?
And what's the explanation behind Carl not saying anything (which would have ended the threat just as quickly as Rick turned and fired his own gun, which he has a lot more practice using)? If Carl couldn't speak, he could point. Aside from his silence making the scene more dramatically ambiguous, and aside from things playing out this way so Rick and Carl both "kill" Shane the way Kirkmann and co. wanted... it doesn't make much sense. And again, neither does the headshot at that distance by an amateur.
But things that happen in TWD often make no sense.
