Yes, the “Walking Dead” did it again. Gave us another big shocker that got the entire internet talking. It had something to do with Shane…so in this post, I’m going  to talk about what happened and explain things of what’s going on. This is my thoughts, of what I think is happening. Before you go thinking that Shane is a badguy for this, read up….here’s my thoughts with Spoiler warnings…

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************SPOILER WARNING***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

For tonight’s episode: Rick, Shane, Daryl and Glenn went out in the woods to find an escaped Randall from the barn. It was really Shane that helped Randall out. They split up in two teams to hunt down Randall. The Walking Dead cast agreed to let Randall live in Dale’s honor (who was killed in the last episode), except for Shane who still disagreed with it.

Shane brought Randall out in the woods, in the middle of the night. While they didn’t show exactly what was going on between Shane and Randall, they wanted to keep it mysterious. Randall ended up mysteriously turning into a Walker, which Glenn and Daryl found him and killed him.

Here’s what I believe what happened. Shane let Randall go ’cause there were Walkers walking all over the woods, they showed clips of hundreds of walkers, all over the place.

So everyone is asking, when was Shane bit?

I believe it was the episode “Bloodletting”, one of the episodes from the first half of the season back in the Fall. That was when Shane and Otis, went to the FEMA aid station to get medical supplies. Remember, Shane was being chased by a large group of Walkers. They made it look like Shane almost got bitten, but I think he really was bitten. You don’t get turned into a walker until death completely.

What Shane did tonight, he didn’t want to kill Rick. He actually cares for Rick and his family ’cause they were best friends, what Shane did was to sacrifice himself. That’s what it was I believe. Sacrifice.

Shane was the only one who saw that Randall was dangerous and it was his way of keeping Rick and his friends safe. Shane didn’t want to kill Randall himself, so he took Randall out in the woods where the walkers are.

Shane was not evil, he never was. He always tried to do what is best for Rick and his friends. He was just misunderstood.

I knew Shane was going to turn into a walker at some point, I think everyone knew it. I didn’t think they were going to do it, this season. Shane did not exactly try to kill Rick. Shane pointed the gun at Rick ’cause he knew that Rick would try to defend himself. It was a sacrifice thing. Shane just felt letting the walkers killing Randall was better than shooting him, that was all.

This is just my take on what’s going on. Another great episode of the “Walking Dead”. Looking forward to the season finale next Sunday.

So we’ve all been watching, “The Walking Dead” for a long while now, and here’s an interesting question. Who does the best acting? Which of the cast do you think is award worthy?

Well, I think Michael Rooker who plays Merle, obviously does the best acting. If we’re all looking forward to seeing him on screen again, that means he’s grabbing our attention with his talented acting.

Another cast member who does the best acting is Norman Reedus who plays Daryl. Both of the Dixon brothers are great actors.

I also think Jon Bernthal who plays Shane, is really incredible. Laurie Holden who plays Andrea was good in the first season, but her acting went downhill in Season 2. I don’t know what happened there. I thought Lennie James who played Morgan from Season 1 was a really good actor.

As far as the rest of the cast goes, they need acting lessons. I don’t think Andrew Lincoln is a good choice to be playing Rick, and I think the woman who plays Lori is a terrible actress.

If there was an actress on the show who I thought did the best acting, I would say the girl who played Sophia on that one, Madison Lintz. Especially what happened with  Sophia in Season 2, I think she’s going to get some award for that scene.

While the writing of the Walking Dead can get really good, I wish the casting would get improved though. It is my favorite show on TV right now and with the ratings really high lately, I think the show is going to be on TV for a pretty long time. I hope the show will last for several more seasons after Season 2. I never read the comics, but I think I’m going to start soon.

So the 1st half of the “Walking Dead” is over and here is my review with some major spoilers. If you haven’t seen any of the episodes yet or tonight’s episode, then don’t read any further after you see the spoiler warning below.

In the beginning of Season 2, Carol’s little daughter, Sophia goes missing after the cast tries to protect themselves from walkers in the highway. The cast ends up staying at Hershel Greene’s farm home after Carl’s been shot and they continue to stay there for safety & hospitality.

Honestly, this season started off kind of boring. It was more like a soap opera than anything. There wasn’t too much zombies, blood & guts like the last season. I’ve been getting some predictions right and some of them wrong. I knew Lori was going to get pregnant this season, and I’m betting it’s going to be Shane’s baby.

I was kind of disappointed that Merle Dixon only appeared for one episode this Season, but I don’t think it was actually him and it was really Daryl just dreaming or something of that one episode where he went looking for Sophia by himself.

Hershel, the farmhouse owner, has a barn full of walkers because he has family in there. A wife and a step son. He refuses to kill the walkers because he thinks they’re still people and wanted to care for his wife & step son like any family would. Glenn found out about the walkers in the barn and in tonight’s episode, Glenn told the cast about that secret.

The cast wouldn’t leave Hersel’s home because they wouldn’t leave without the missing Sophia, who they were still on the look out for her. The cast thought she was still alive and out there somewhere.

I did too. I had a couple of guesses on what may have happened to Sopha, Carol’s daughter. I thought Merle Dixon kidnapped her as his way of getting payback for leaving him on the rooftop in Atlanta handcuffed, or Sophia could be living with a different family somewhere. Neither prediction was right.

Turns out that Sophia was a walker and she was in that barn after all this time. Now I can completely see why Hershel didn’t want Rick and his friends getting in the barn to kill the walkers, because he didn’t want them to see Sophia as one.

I know the pacing of the show was kind of slow at the start, but they ended this season very nicely. The ending tonight certainly shocked the hell out of me. My jaw fell open when Sophia as a walker, came walking out of the barn. I think the writers of the show made the beginning of it kind of boring on purpose so they can save the best for the last. Now I get why they did what they did.

The second half of the season which will air on AMC later this Spring, will get real interesting now. Hopefully, Merle Dixon will return second half, I’m sure he will.

They did a real good job ending the show this time around. Hope they keep up the good work for the second half.

Well, I just got done watching, “Walking Dead – Season 1” on DVD. I was just in the mood for a Walking Dead marathon before the “Season 2” premiere tomorrow. Season 1 was just six episodes so I just watched the first 3 last night and watch the last 3 this afternoon.

I probably already wrote about this a long time ago before but I’m gonna do it again, I’ll talk about my predictions of Season 2 of what’s going to happen. THESE AREN’T SPOILERS, JUST MY PREDICTION!

• Rick finds out Shane was having an affair with Lori, Rick and Shane don’t get along too well anymore for Season 2. 
• Merle Dixon returns. Merle only appeared for two episodes in Season 1, I think he’ll be in Season 2 a lot more as the main villain. He’ll come back to get revenge at Rick and his friends.
• Rick discovers the pilot flying the mysterious helicopter. We saw the mysterious helicopter a few times briefly, Rick tried to flag it down while it was flying in Atlanta but no good. 
• Rick reunites with Morgan Jones and his son Duane. 
• The Walking Dead cast loses another major character. They lost Amy and Jim, who’s next? Shane? Lori? Andrea? Maybe even Rick himself? 
• They reunite with Jim as a walker. Remember, they left Jim on the side of the street because he didn’t want to turn into a walker in front of them. They didn’t kill him or anything, just left him there. When Jim comes back as a walker, will the cast try to kill him or will they have a hard time making that decision?
