killing one of their own. Murder in a small-knit group is not to be taken lightly
im sorry, wha!?!?!?! what murder? I saw self defense. I saw putting a rabid dog down. Where was this murder he speaks of?!?!?

To be fair Rick did a really poor job of explaining it. He went straight from "I killed him" to all kinds of justifications about how crazy Shane was. It sounded like he was trying to make a case for something.
He should've just been like "he was going to shoot me, so I had to kill him" and been done with it.
This is the most hilarious reason I've heard yet to hate on this show. lol

Why is everyone mad about Rick killing Shane? Lori seems really pissed about the situation. Does she love Shane? -thadude
A: "The group is upset with Rick in general for keeping Jenner's secret and killing one of their own. Murder in a small-knit group is not to be taken lightly, so of course they would be upset. And Lori loves Rick, and she has recently realized that she does indeed love Shane. She almost said so in "Better Angels." She decides to take action by talking to Rick, so when Lori is horrified by Rick's confession, yes, she is upset a man she loved was killed but more importantly, that man was killed by another man she loves and she was a catalyst... She is horrified by her own culpability and is projecting that self-hatred onto Rick."

Why do so many TV writers suck at writing female characters? It doesn't excuse people screaming "bitch whore cunt!" every time Lori comes on the screen, but she is still a poorly written character that the audience can't help but hate.

But Rick killing Shane wasn't murder.
It's hilarious that I said I was sad I wasn't going to be seeing a live action version of the comic I love so much? It's hilarious to be disappointed that so many of the pieces of the comic that I enjoyed aren't being reproduced in the TV show?
Don't act like you haven't heard this about TWD tv series before, I'm not the first one to hold these thoughts.
And I don't hate the show.
C'mon. The writers seriously need to stop. They purposely make characters have a lapse in judgement or say extremely vague things that could potentially be misconstrued just to build drama and tension.
If you've read the comic, then it should be pretty obvious that some concepts and plot devices wouldn't translate well at all to television. There's some things that will only work in the comic and some that would work better on TV, which is why I'm interested to see how they handlecharacter.Michonne's
I'm catching up on the comics myself right now and I gotta say that I've enjoyed the direction the TV Series has been taking a lot more than that of the graphic novel so far.
I wanna know who out of the group is your favorite character and why? --WalkingDeadFan247
A: That's a tough one. It's like asking me which was my favorite child. I like writing them all because they're all so different. I mean I know a lot of people don't like Lori, but I enjoy writing her, I write a lot for her. She can do stuff that Daryl can't do, and Daryl can do stuff that Rick can't do, so they're all great to write for.
He might be speaking from the standpoint of what everyone else in the group is thinking. Though I wonder if everyone in the group will always look at what Rick did as murder regardless.

Rick's bad explanation worked for me, mostly because I think Rick is still a good guy deep down and he probably does feel like a murderer. Yes, Shane had a gun on him and was trying to kill him, but Rick didn't just subdue him, he made sure Shane was dead.
I think what Rick did was necessary, but I think the guy also just ended his best friend's life, and probably immediately started second-guessing everything he'd done, blaming himself, etc. So when he tells the story to anyone else, he gets bogged down in his emotions instead of just stating the facts.
im sorry, wha!?!?!?! what murder? I saw self defense. I saw putting a rabid dog down. Where was this murder he speaks of?!?!?
but then mere moments later declares a RICKTATORSHIP!!!
so he's bi-polar as well????
Yeah, because they were all there to confirm Rick's story and a murderer would NEVER lie to make himself seem sympathetic. All they knew was that four guys went out into the woods to look for the prisoner. Except for Darryl and Glenn

He's a guy trying to justify his actions to himself. He blames himself for Shane's death, but just like the whole "YOU DID THIS! NOT ME!" thing immediately after the stabbing, he's fully invested in trying to convince himself it's not his fault. Inner conflict, and all.
So what he's wanting is to explain the thing he fears himself to be, have somebody (like say his goddamned wife) tell him he did what he had to and it's all okay, and start to recover.
Instead his judgment gets questioned and he basically melts down--lashing out and all.
So yeah I think he's pretty crazy right now, but I actually feel they earned it through the story and they may actually intend us to think he's imbalanced.
Uhhh. No. Darryl had already told them that Shane was walking with Randall and basically told them that this whole scenario smelled of Shanes BS.
He basically told them Shane killed Randall. Is the group stupid? They can't put two and two together. They saw Shane hooting and hollering about Randall going off into the woods and hitting him in the the face with a rock.
Darryl didn't even believe Shane and called him out on that BS. (the "That kid weighs 150 soaking wet" comment)
So they also can assume that Shane was crazy enough, and vested enough into the plan to potentially break his own nose (Didn't Darryl spot the tree where he did it?).
Either the group is full of complete morons who really don't need to survive the apocalypse or the writers don't pay attention to their own dang story. Either one and my excitement starts to take a hit.

He tried explaining it to Lori and look how she reacted.
well. Loris biggest reaction was to the fact that it was Carl who shot Shane
That's what set her over the edge.
She's just as devastated that her husband killed a man she just realized she genuinely had feelings for.

ummm shane came back to the group of daryl, rick and whoever else was there and told them the story that he was attacked. So the group also knows he fucking straight up lied about the whole randall thing. you keep forgetting that shane lied about the attack, that's KEY. That's the proof that he staged the whole thing to get rick.What the group knows is Shane is a hothead, and that he killed Randall, which is what he always wanted to do. They also know that Shane and Rick have been butting heads for a while now. Darryl at least seemed to know what happened on the first trip to free Randall. Even if they thought of Rick as a good man, it's easy to see why they might believe that he just killed Shane, maybe in a moment of anger but without being threatened the way he was.

T-Dog should be on Rick's side because he was on Shane's side wasn't he? Rick is acting the same way as shane when he sided with him, except slightly less crazy.Hershell and Daryll both understood Rick did the right thing and immediately made the women looking at them shut up. T-Dog just gave a look of 'Yeah' and Glenn was the only guy there doubting a bit.
Shane takes Rick out for a midnight stroll to kill him and somehow it turns into Rick murdering Shane? No wonder Rick pulled his dick (figuratively) out and laid the hammer down at the end. The group is made up of idiots (or is it the writers?). Were we supposed to parse that whole Rick and Shane scene differently or something?
When Carl ran from the zombie in the forest, he comes back to the house covered in mud. His mom doesn't say a thing.

Rick is in the clear here and anyone can see it.
it just as easily reads a scenario where Rick found out, got angry, and shot him.

that's not proof of shit, that's proof he wanted to get rid of the kid but knew the group wouldn't like it. There is no part of that that says he's planning to off Rick. Hell, it just as easily reads a scenario where Rick found out, got angry, and shot him.
