Anyways...Shane is a dick, but someone had to do it. Granted they're disrespecting Hershel's space, but still...come the fuck on. Keeping zombies alive and contained in a barn is not sensible. When Shane was "presenting his argument" and shot the zombie to show him that they weren't human, I was happy, something was needed to done to show that fucking guy what the deal is. That old man needs to learn to not be so hard headed.

I don't like dealing in hypothetical situations personally. I like dealing with what is and what can be proven. I think Shane's argument falls apart because Hershel and his people were doing fine for all that time before Rick's crew showed up. So for me, the whole keeping zombies alive in a barn isn't sensible argument just falls flat for me personally. Hershel seemed to have a handle on controlling these things, much like you'd control cattle or dangerous zoo animals. Of course, we're trained by hundreds of zombie movies and games to assume that something bad would eventually happen, but nothing that I saw proved that, which makes Shane's actions irrational to me.

Shane wants to be Rick, and that's all there is to it. This was his chance to take leadership of the group and prove to Lori and Carl that he's better than Rick. That is the ONLY reason he did what he did. He can cover it up with words that sound sensible to the group, but what he did was selfishly motivated. Shane would make a great politician. He knows how to try and win over a group and he doesn't seem unwilling from all the clues we've been given to violently deal with anyone who opposes him. Shane's dangerous, and I'd want him out of the group ASAP. If I was in charge, he'd be gone and I'd make sure of it personally if I had to. That's what Rick is too weak to do unfortunately

Also, I don't think Hershel was being hard headed. He was starting to compromise and Shane ruined that, as both Rick and Dale(a.k.a the sensible ones)knew he would

I think Hershel was wrong in thinking zombies are still people, but everyone needs to hold on to some kind of thought when the world's gone to hell. Somehow, this idea of his was keeping him sane I guess. Hell, I don't have a problem with that. I say work with the guy who just happens to be the ONLY GODAMN DOCTOR YOU HAVE!!!!

Reinforce the barn, let Dale, Daryl and Rick and NO ONE ELSE keep the guns in case anything bad happens and have someone keep a look out every night while people are sleeping for incoming walkers or the off chance that the ones in the barn somehow get out. Oh yeah, and kick Shane and Andrea out of the group and slap Lori whenever she's starts freaking out

There you go, everybody's happy and has a place to live. I should be leading that group 8)

Didn't Hershel say that Otis was responsible for putting all of their zombie relatives and neighbors into the barn? So since Sophia was in the barn that means that Otis obviously put her in there before he died.

So if Shane wouldn't have killed Otis then Otis would have told him that Sophia was a walker inside the barn and then the whole group wouldn't be wasting their time looking for her. Stupid piece of shit Shane.

My favorite character is probably Daryl followed by Glenn. Daryl is a such a badass and I love how much effort he put in to try to look for Sophia. The crossbow is also a unique piece of weaponry compared to just your average gun. I also love that he is played by Norman Reedus.

This show isn't following the comic nearly as closely as they used to, but fair warning: don't get attached to anyone.

You deserve 10,000 internet points for remembering someones name on TWD besides Rick and Shane. Almost everyone I speak to refers to the characters as "The dude with..." or "The chick with...". That said, when a friend says "the dude with the hat" I know who he is talking about.

I'm at a loss for why Luke keeps being Mr. Spoiler and thus potentially ruining the story for everyone

By no means do I mean to spoil the show. The show is not the same as the comic, that's for certain. But at the same time anyone who has ever read the WD comic books, "don't get attached to anyone" shouldn't come off as spoiler-os. Even on the show each episode has you asking yourself "Who is the next to go/get a bullet?".

So far I miss Rick's horse the most, as he was the most logically thinking thing on the show.

I really hate Shane. I didn't like him in the comic, nor in the show. He's a dick. That's too obvious. And a dick is not a good leader.
