walking dead

I knew the Old Doctor was gonna be a Veterinarian.

Funny/Sad part is,I believe my Vet. is a more studied Dr. than most.

Shane?What would you do?I'd probably be lunch.:eek:
 
Gator I'm glad your married to someone in the military and not in it. While it's just a show come on man. That was not needed at all. Like someone else mentioned Shane could have grabbed the pack off him.

I have to admit that I was totally disgusted by it. I've been in real life situations(not zombies) where you had to take care of a weaker person. You just don't kill them. But then again that's what the show is all about human nature under stress. Shane has failed eventhough he saved the day so to speak. I can't wait to see him eaten alive.

Shane arguably did the right thing, or at least while a cold blooded thing to do... the necessary thing. Like the saying goes, don't have to be faster than the zombies, just have to be faster than the other guy... The fat guy seemed about done for anyway and they'd have shortly been overtaken. That simply would have gotten them both killed and would have gotten Carl killed for lack of the medical supplies.

There's the truth of it.
Who is he to make the decision?I call it murder others might justify it as a sacrifice.
One thing for sure,It's a bad situation to have to be in.That's a big part of the drama of the show.

The really insidious thing about this action is that the intention was to incapacitate, not kill the soon to be victim. Note the body shot, not in the head. Zombies needed to be distracted and they wouldn't be by an already dead corpse...
 
Well as long as he fought him they both could have got away.Finally someone who feels like me.they are in the south hunting guns in a lot of homes and ammo.and the guns left on the ground by the dead troops and cops will be good.why is the redneck guy putting the arrows in his mouth? why havent they got new vehicles to drive in?I like the dump truck idea great and weld rebar spikes on the plowblade.. and another thing if I was going to get the medical item with otis you better belive I would have had all the ammo they had and I would have shot all in the gym.point to remember when getting medical gear look out the window before opening the door.and the big thing is I was a 19 KILO so I can fully operate a M1 Abrams tank.

Yeah that was nuts! The least he could have done was shoot him in the head. Who wants to die, getting eaten by zombies!

A screaming and thrashing Otis made better zombie bait - they are drawn to sound - than a stone dead hunk of zombie chow Otis would have. That's why - in order for the distraction to work and keep the zombies busy - Otis had to be alive and kicking/screaming.

It's sort of like the scene in "The Dirty Dozen" where Lee Marvin asks Charles Bronson what he's in for. He responds to the effect that he shot one of the guys in his unit in the back and killed him - after the guy took off running with all their much needed medical supplies because he paniced.
 
If it was me and Otis, I would have done the same thing.
This is not a war, it is survival of the fittest. Otis was the reason that they were there in the first place. He was not part of 'thier' pack, so it was not a friend that he had to kill.
Shane injured his ankle, therfore, Otis might have made it to the truck before Shane did.

Nobody said that is was right or the moral thing to do, but it did give Shane the chance to escape with the supplies to save Carl.

It was a cowardly thing to do.
 
No way. Fat boy had it coming!!! Whats one of the biggest rules when hunting? "KNOW WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YER TARGET!!!!" It was karma baby!! But ol shane has slipped over the deep end!



PS- Isnt anyone Zen around here? Bahahaha that was genius!

As has been said, I don't think Shane did it for himself. He knew that the medical supplies were necessary to save Carl's life and that they both weren't going to get out alive.

The fat guy could have taken it out IF Shane volunteered to stay. Shane however chose to sacrifice the OTHER guys life to save his own.

I don't think Otis was going to make it one way or another. He was pretty winded and less fit and able than even an injured Shane. As my wife asked - "Why was a fat guy still around this far into the zombie apocalypse anyway?"

Plus...Well as a meal Otis was going to last longer as a distraction. There was more of him to eat. Sort of like Rick's horse last season. The zombies seem to go for the biggest meal - eating the horse and then giving Rick time to escape.

I'm liking Daryl more and more with each episode. His explanation as to why Merle had all those drugs in his saddlebag was golden, too.


"Merle caught the clap from time to time.."




I'm waiting for Glenn and Dale to unleash their inner bad *ss.
 
I thought that might happen when Rick showed up in season one. That was a bit easy...

Daryl's adventure was good.

The Doc/Preacher is pretty creepy.
