Walking Dead: Season 2

[yaksplat]

i could have sworn that i saw darryl's brother as a zombie in a promo at some point, so i'd assume he's got to pop up.

[Donkbaca]

it would be awesome if Darrel's brother was the leader of Randall's group.

I too wonder about the father/son, they totally dropped that

[Bootay]

it would be awesome if Darrel's brother was the leader of Randall's group.

Hell yea! I never thought of that. That would be cool.

[Well Fed Games]

it would be awesome if Darrel's brother was the leader of Randall's group.

Yeah, I was really hoping that was where it was going. And that his hand would be replaced with a chainsaw. OK, not the chainsaw thing.

[TheChairmanH2K]

theres nothing to say they wont still run into randall's group so we could still see merle.  i think we wont see morgan (guy with the kid) until the prison or later like in the comics but i wonder id duane (the son) will be alive or dead as he is dead when morgan meets up with the group again

[geomartin]

The group aren't too likely to think of Daryl of a moral compass and may prefer he stay on the other side of camp once they discover his collection of Walker souvenirs, AKA ears he's collected.

[Ginsu Victim]

Oh, I think walking dead is unsuitable for little children and girls, they all feel uncomfortable when they see the blood and fly.

I think spammers are unsuitable for BYOAC. Go ---fudgesicle--- yourself.

Unfortunately that's probably a bot of some sort and will never see your reply.

Seeing as how they were looking to Rick and Shane as leaders, I think they will let that slide after recent events.

But then again this Sunday will really be the deciding factor I think.

Full Season 2 Finale spoilers to follow...

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick’s horse, or what’s left of it, when they’re startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane’s murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.

As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it’s not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn. Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns.

The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight. Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time.

Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her.

Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl’s motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we’re not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can’t continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her.

Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn’t turn around and go back to the highway.

A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane – dead

Andrea – missing

Patricia – taken by the walkers

Jimmy – splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can’t keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path.

The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together. The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them.

Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn’t just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl’s role in Shane’s death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can’t carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo — she bashes in a walker’s head with it — now she’s down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control… he says they’re not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn’t a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.

Sounds pretty kick @$$ to me 

[Howard_Casto]

The group aren't too likely to think of Daryl of a moral compass and may prefer he stay on the other side of camp once they discover his collection of Walker souvenirs, AKA ears he's collected.

Well it's really gross and disrespectful of the (un)dead mind you, but there really isn't any harm in it.  I find people that mount deer heads and crap in their homes to have just as disgusting a hobby, but you learn to ignore it.  Keep in mind... I live in WV too.

He's NEVER going to be the leader anyway.  He's got issues to say the least.  Not that Rick isn't a hot mess, but he hides it a little better.  Besides, I've learned from personal experience that you can be the nicest, smartest person in the world but nobody will see it if your personality drives them away.

As for the father/son in atlanta, I think they dropped that arc completely.... it should have happened in season 1, AMC gave them a few prescious episodes and overall it didn't really add anything to the story.

[g_block247]

What part Howard? I'm in Charleston on the East End? Nice to see another WVer on here

[Howard_Casto]

Cabin Creek.... I'm about 40-45 min from you.

[Vigo]

I thought you lived on the internet.

Nice, sucks we don't have a real arcade here and that sorry excuse for one (Southridge) doesn't even deserve to be called an arcade...

I guess that was what I was trying to say most, Daryl has some deep pyschological issues that prevent him from being leader and the trophies would be an obvious indicator to the group.  Although I understand your deer head analogy, I think human body parts would be judged differently than deer heads, even body parts from the undead.  I don't see that they have much hope for survival anyways, as there is really no leader.  They had all that time at the farm and did nothing to the farmhouse to make it more defensible.  Sure they posted watch, but did not reinforce doors or windows or stockpile food and water in a defensible location.  The father/son team in Atlanta at least reinforced the house they were hiding in and with walkers all around were able to defend the house.  The father/son team also understood the need for silence.  The group never seems to figure this out.  They are not the stealthy types at all.  I've never read the comics and that probably makes the show more enjoyable.  But it is frustrating that the group is so stupid, especially with Rick and Shane presumably having prior military experience (most law enforcement people do).  If I were Daryl, I would of struck out on my own early on, figuring these people were too stupid to survive.

[Howard_Casto]

Well that was pretty awesome.

All my death predictions came true also with the exception of the bald headed lady, but Daryl did have his knight in shining armor moment with her as I said he might. 

Michonnne's addition to the cast and the fact that she wasn't toned down at all unfortuantely means I'll be back for season 3, in a episode by episode basis.  You've gotta wonder how people are going to react to a woman leading around two black guys via chains on their necks.  I see a PR nightmare waiting to happen. 

Also the EP all but confirmed that Merl will be appearing in season 3.  The fact that the Governor appears in season 3 as well means that they are speeding things up a bit, which is a good thing because as a whole the whole prison scenario was kind of boring in the comics.  Then again, the comics have kind of fallen apart post-prison so it might mean that season 3 is the final season.

What the hell was up with Lorie though?  Getting pissed at Rick when she essentially begged him to kill Shane not two episodes ago.  The groups getting pretty bitchy as well, I stupidly thought that the fact that Rick managed to get most of them out safely might have earned him a bit of respect.  When Daryl and Hershel are the only one's on Rick's side things are going really bad.

[Green Giant]

Damn what a good episode.  I called it about Daryl, he is a bad ass.  Who was the only one that wanted to even attempt to look for Andrea?  Yeah, my boy.  The boondock saint.

Who do you want leading the group now?  Rick pretty much gave his crazy man rant in his explanation of what happened.  I mean come on Rick, Shane was a nutjob literally murdering you with an elaborate scheme.  I agree Rick deserves respect, but he is acting very Shane-like right now.

As for Lorie, I couldn't agree more.  What a little ---smurfette---.  She goes and tells Rick that Shane is dangerous and he wants her for himself.  Then she goes and tells Shane that the baby is Ricks and nothing will ever let her be with him again.  Oh, and on top of that the dumbass doesn't have enough common sense to keep Carl by her side.  What a terrible mother.  

And Michonne......yeah....

[Howard_Casto]

Rick becomes kind of messed up from this point on in the comics.  Currently in the comics he is ALMOST as bad as Shane, but fortunately he doesn't go around killing people just because he's scared of them or they are inconvenient, so he's ok in my book.  You can be a jerk, just don't be a murdering jerk. 

Doesn't matter anyway, Rick is the leader... that isn't going to change.... it would be like suddenly letting Robin Takeover as Batman...... oh wait.... (stupid DC) nevermind...

[Bootay]

HC: Rick doesn't go murdering people because he is scared of them? Hmm...You might be forgetting about the black leader of the group they find in the prison. He tried to take over the group by force with guns when a zombie invasion happens and in the confusion, while everyone is focused on staying alive, rick shoots the black dude in the head. Not to mention, the psycho that cuts the heads off of the little girls and slices Andrea's face up. Didn't he kill him too? I don't blame Rick, I would do the exact same things.

Also, the things Michonne has on chains are just zombies with their arms and jaws ripped off. I don't even think they are black...and I did not see them as "black guys" in the comic either, so I'm not sure why you are trying to attach something racist to this.

[Bootay]

Yea...nothing "black" about them:

[Green Giant]

I presume the racist cries are coming from people that assume she would only date black people and be friends with black people.

Her best friend and her boyfriend.  That is not a very colorful description.

[Bootay]

I don't think there are any racist cries yet. HC is predicting that there will be. I say anyone who does cry racism is an idiot.

And Green Giant...WTH are you talking about?! LOL

[Ginsu Victim]

Time to cast more people next season....
When the question was, "Which Darabont player could you seen in a role?" (before Darabont and TWD parted ways), I'd thought, even while reading the comic, that Toby Jones would be great for the killer Thomas Richards.

[TheChairmanH2K]

but there wont be much need for thomas in the show since hershels two youngest daughters arent there although i guess they could meet another group along the way.  im really interested to see how the prison will play out since alot of the characters that were there in the comic are not there in the show as of yet or theyre already dead.  next season will crazy im sure.  and by the time it starts up again the comics will be at the 102 issue mark.

[Ginsu Victim]

but there wont be much need for thomas in the show

I'm still hoping for Andrea to get scarred.

[Mikezilla]

Man, this was a good episode, but it pissed me off for a number of reasons.

What the hell was up with Lorie though?  Getting pissed at Rick when she essentially begged him to kill Shane not two episodes ago.  The groups getting pretty bitchy as well, I stupidly thought that the fact that Rick managed to get most of them out safely might have earned him a bit of respect.  When Daryl and Hershel are the only one's on Rick's side things are going really bad.

This is what pretty much pissed me off the most though. Like you guys said, Lori was all about Rick "doing something about Shane" and when he does, she flips out on him. The only thing I can think as a reason as to why, is because Rick said Carl killed him is when she flew off the handle. But she didnt look like she had that "oh damn thats my fault cause I NEVER KNOW WHERE HE IS" it was more of a " I cant believe you Rick you bastard" kind of look. Carl pissed me off too, he is all crying in Lori's arms when Rick mentions it to the group.

Then Carol was like "do something!!!" after they were outside around the fire towards the end of the episode. What the hell do you expect him to do?! You guys are out of gas! Everyone is getting bitchy, and annoying, I dont even know if Im going to watch the next season, just cause everyone gets on my nerves now. Even Carl. Aside from Rick, Hershel and Daryl are the only ones that dont piss me off. Having Michonne come in just as she did in the comics was freakin awesome though. I think the racist remarks are a wee bit farfetched though. But now a days, I wouldnt even be surprised if someone bitched about it...  

[Green Giant]

I don't think there are any racist cries yet. HC is predicting that there will be. I say anyone who does cry racism is an idiot.

And Green Giant...WTH are you talking about?! LOL

The idea that people will cry racism over the zombies she totes around.  What they were, as in race, is unrecognizable. 

The only reason someone would assume they are black zombie slaves is if you assume the black woman on the show would only date black people and be friends with black people.  It isn't her family she is dragging around, it is her boyfriend and best friend. 

If you want to scream anything about her chained pets, scream sexism.  Personally I think it is just bad ass.  I see nothing further into it than she is so bad ass she tamed two zombies.

Woah hold up guys!  I didn't say I thought it was racist, I said it's going to be a PR nightmare... in other words OTHER people are going to think that.  And in the show at least, those guys have brown skin or at the very least very black features.  It could be the lighting, but I don't think so.  

[Mikezilla]

Dude they are totally black guys. Its her boyfriend and his bestfriend right?! Man. If I watch any of the next season, its only because Michonne is in it.

[Howard_Casto]

Nah, that's not what I meant.  Shane (on the show) wanted to kill people for what they might do when they haven't done anything all that bad yet, which is cowardly.  Rick kills people after they've already done something they would normally get the death penalty for and generally when it happens he doesn't have a whole lot of options (like the bar scene this season).  Now I don't believe in capital punishment myself, but in those particular cases I'm not sure what else he could have done.  Rick's a killer to be sure, but he isn't a murderer... that's the difference.


Plus those were two prisoners in a maximum security prison... they didn't get in there for jay-walking.

[Bootay]

HC: Damn Internets!! heh Yea I misunderstood your meaning. Sorry. Well...either way I am excited for next season. This was the best episode since the first episode with the herd on the highway. Everything in between has been talking-talking-bitching-bitching-talking-talking-OH ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- A ZOMBIE-bitching-bitchig-talking-credits.

[Howard_Casto]

Well unless they really vamp up the script for next season, don't expect too much.  Like I said before, it looks like they are accelerating things a bit what with the governor's appearance also in this season, but in the books they were in the prison for about a year and with a few very, very notable exceptions, absolutely nothing happened.  A lot like this season really.... very exciting at first, then nothing happens.... then a couple of interesting things happen mid-way through, then nothing again.. then BAM!  Holy CRAP!

Spoilers:

They'll spend a good amount of time learning how to farm.

Actually the show is pretty faithful to the books in that regard.  All of last year in the comics I think they had one zombie outbreak.

[SNAAKE]

this show needs William Fichtner

[/totally random]

[Ginsu Victim]

[/totally random]

Everything does.

As for Lori getting mad about Shane, I thought she only got mad once he said Carl put him down. Seemed like the idea of Carl finally becoming a part of this world is what sent her over the edge.

[Howard_Casto]

Well that's her own damn fault as well.  I mean she isn't out fighting zombies like the rest of them, in her mind "women should be in the kitchen"  and if that's the case maybe she should watch her idiot kid and beat the crap out of him when he runs off instead of doing nothing when he just wanders back in.

Its kind of ridiculous how often he is just wandering around. If he were my kid, he would never be out of sight in a zombie apocalypse. It borderlines on stupidity, thats one of the things that pisses me off about the writers too.

[Howard_Casto]

Looks like I'm not the only one that disapproved of the lack of logic in Dale's death:
