OK, watched this week’s episode of the Walking Dead and it seems like it’s back on track. One episode kind of sucks then the next is great then it flip flops back again. I have to look at the credits after the season is over and see who is responsible for the good episodes.Anyways Dale’s funeral interposed with the the zombie slaughter was great. Finally T-Dog is there getting some licks in doing something. It seems for a while now they should be more proactive on taking out zombies in the immediate area. Dale in the comic lasted longer and was bitten by a zombie and then maimed by cannibals. He went on to die by Andrea’s side who was his lover, even though in the comic Andrea is younger and Dale was a lot fatter.Anyways the conflict with between Shane and Rick was partially defused, and then Laurie trying to make herself feel better went and stirred it up again.
Rest of the episode was great, and the final show down between Rick and Shane was good. In the comic Carl shot living Shane when he threatened Rick. I guess they thought it would better better to show him shoot a zombie Shane in the show for some reason.
They are kind of beating the premise that anyone who dies becomes a zombie into the ground at this point, it has been mentioned several times. It’s a big revelation but at the same time doesn’t really change much in terms of course of action does it.
Well one episode left until we have to wait for season 3.

Ok. This is my first season watching the series. As I sat there falling in love with the series, my daughter (who is 25, I’m…old enough to be her mother)explained what had happened the first season. I know I’m jumping ahead here, but watching the season finale, a question occured to me. After waiting for the survivors to meet up, driving on a meandering secondary highway with at least one vehicle low enough on fuel to have “been running in the red for the last hour”-Rick, (Wish my car would run in the red that long. The money I could save…) the group probably didn’t get very far. My question is: Why didn’t Herschel, who has evidently lived in the area forever, who as a veteranian probabley drives all over the area (He appears to have a large animal practice) say: “Hey! there’s a big a– prison just through this patch of woods! That would be the perfect place to hole up and regroup!” Just wondering… Love the series
waiting right now on watching it, girlfriend works sunday night and monday day, and can’t watch it until she gets home.
In the comic the group split up and hershel stayed on the farm along with some of his family, the prison was actual pretty far from hershel’s house.
Also the first season of the walking dead is on netflix watch it now or dvds, you should really check it out
