I hope you're not planning on skipping the first issues of the comic because you didn't like the farm sections of of the show. Don't do that. The plot of the comic and the plot of the show are very diffrent.

Sorry, but ninja girl with pet zombies out of nowhere seemed pretty stupid.
I'll reserve all real judgments about her until she actually gets a chance to do something, and for all I know she could turn out to be a good character, but it reeked of bad anime at first impression.
Rest of the episode was pretty good, and Season 2 was definitely a step up over Season 1 (I wasn't even bothered that they spent the whole time at the farm), and I hope they continue that upward trajectory for Season 3.

I don't think Carl would've made the jump (in before "well, that's fine with me!"), and Rick would've had his legs out for the zombies to chew on possibly. It was a jump-able gap but a pretty wide one.

rofl can someone walk me through this thought process?
'psh, zombies? i ain't driving this anymore'
RIP kid who was once seen hammering a nail.
I almost didn't reply from this comment but clearly you don't read the comics.
So i will give you a heads up, if you hate one of the best characters of the comic then stop watching, because if you think she is stupid then you will hate season 3 and the prison stuff.

I really wish the tv goes another way than the comics.
The comics is very grim and depressing.

Hey he went and got shooting lessons without Hershels permission remember?
Fucking swoon... Don't read those comments if you want to avoid comic spoilers btw...

Seriously... who is the badass samurai with zombie slaves!?!!?!?
Well that's a start at least.
And yeah, writing aside, she's still a bad actress IMO.

Moreover, why'd he get up and take a step away from the wheel!? I think the real loss here is the RV.

Was there any sort of significance to Shane hoarding Ammo, outside of showing how much of a maniac he was?
Swore that would come into play at some point, but outside of them being low on ammo (Not really, they were fucking pissing bullets), nothing. Does anyone remember what car he was putting them in?

I'm pretty sure he started crying because of what Rick said.
"I KILLED MY BEST FRIEND FOR ALL OF YOU!"
That's when Carl looked at his father in horror because Rick never told Carl how Shane died at the beginning of the finale.

OH YEAH. The New York Girlfriend. That's where I remember her! Its funny some of us were talking about Khandi Alexander for the role, we got the same show but wrong actress lol.
Just wait...you'll see.

He put them in the car Glen and Maggie eventually took because he was still considering leaving
The other idea was removing Rick and Hershel from power but he couldn't pull that alone (or even with Andrea)
So it looks like Daryl is really the only one left who's still on Rick's side... At least semi-loyal, I guess. Maybe Herschel too?
Maggie, Glenn, Carol, probably even Lori want to get the fuck out of there.
Carl and Beth are probably just scare and confused.
T-Dog is interesting. No idea where his stance is, but his willingness to just bolt on the group when they were in the truck might be telling of his role in the third season.

The show should be grim and depressing, it's a world full of zombies that eat people alive, I don't see how that wouldn't be grim.
She probably felt bad because she had that contrived heart-to-heart with him before he died.
I agree, sort of silly writing. Lori's apology to Shane seemed to come out of nowhere.
She missed his penis. Thats the only rationale for her stupidity.
Didn't T-Dog bail on his friend (the black chick, Jackie was it?) in the season 1 finale too?
If I remember correctly she was like "I'm staying here to die" and he was like "Alright, peace out then" and just left without really caring or trying to convince her to leave with the rest. T-Dog only cares about himself.

T-Dog also volunteered to get Merle since losing the key was his fault
but it's understandable if one loses the taste for wandering into danger

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Pretty good season finale, I think. Even though I hated all the "Sophia is missing!" episodes of this season, I think the ones after that have been good. Season 3 should be good, a prison seems like a safe place to be, not sure how it will be compromised and how they will leave it. I assume they do.

He had no ties to her. Her husband/whoever died during the RV attack when no one was watching for walkers.
To be fair, she never told Rick to kill Shane explicitly.
She was just warning him that "Shane is dangerous and he won't stop."
She probably had something more diplomatic in mind, like talking Shane out of his sociopathic tendencies. What's sad is that Rick tried. He really did.
And now he's easily the most bad ass character on the show. Can't believe how much he's changed after 2 seasons.
Also, Kirkman hyping up Season 3 like no other.
Easier to survive the impending winter would be my first guess.

Great finale. I really enjoyed it. I liked the entire season and didn't really mind that they were on the farm the whole time. I'm digging the Glen and Maggie relationship. It was great when Darrel stuck up for Rick. I love the new bad ass Ricktatorship. I can't wait to see who that ninja chick is. I also hope Merle comes back in season 3. Plus I'd like to see the father and son from season 1 come back. So hyped!
On the negative side, Lori and Sophia's mom are very annoying and I miss Shane.

Get on a boat, live on the sea as a fishing community.
Rick would probably kill everyone on board in boredom.

I think this was probably the silliest episode in the series so far. Besides the obvious nerd wankery with the mystery ronin, we had the zombies getting stuck against a chest-high plank fence when we previously saw them scaling 10-foot chain link fences, Biblical one-liners, extraordinarily flammable zombies, and more headshots than an Unreal Tournament LAN.
The MST3K factor hasn't quite made up for the loss of Camelot yet, but this seems to have good enough ratings that it won't get canceled soon.
Yes. It was especially hilarious because it came right after a scene where Dale pleaded with Andrea not to do the same thing.

After catching the encore now, I have to say that up until the last 15 minutes or so, I thought it was a great episode. But Lori being fucking dumb during the 'I killed Shane' revelation and Maggie and Carol wanting to bolt just pissed me off at how dumb it was.
"Oh, we would be better off on our own!" Fucking morons... If that is how Carol is going to act, then I hope *COMIC SPOILERS*
*END COMIC SPOILERS*
And while watching TTD now, I still don't care for the actress who plays Andrea, but I am surprised that they make her look so much older on the show.
I wonder who is going to be coming back out of Merle, Duane, and Morgan. 33% chance one is coming back?
Interesting to know that Jimmy was supposed to die in Dale's place. It's too bad Dale is so attached to Darabont...
It was nice having a Shane-less episode too. Fucker was going to die at some point even if the comics didn't exist. There was no way his 'Do whatever the fuck I want' approach to survival could have kept him alive too long.
Welp, bring on the prison, Michonne, and S3!!!
(fuck waiting until October...)

we see her die the same death she dies in the comics. Serve her right.

Obviously it points to Merle, but I wonder if it could be the appearance of 'Crazy Morgan' from the comics.
