Who will be the antagonist now?

I expect there to be a lot of new characters brought in next season...and a lot more wiped out next week.

(They better leave the hottie farm girl alone though!)

Carl does kill Shane... Just like in the comic... Well re-kills him anyway.

Another very intense episode.

And we learn that yes, circumstances exist so that anyone who dies does come back– bite or not.

Great episode. They've really picked up the pace from the first half of the season. Am sorry to see the end of Shane.

So can we now say it is fact that anyone that dies will become a zombie ? Maybe certain people are carriers . In this " new world " everybody comes back . Do you think this is the secret that the doctor told Rick ?

Bingo. It's airborne most likely.

This show just gets better and better. Excellent episode all the way through. The eulogy at the beginning was great, and the last 15 minutes were terrific.

I think we're gonna see a few more deaths, possibly Carol and T-Dog or Hershel's kids sans Maggie. Since the episode is called Beside the Dying Fire we may see the farm burn....

Amazing episode, one of the best of the series so far.

The last 15 minutes were perfect, couldn't have done it better.

I say Carol and Otis's wife are going to die in the season finale, maybe T-dog too.

The season has gone from too slow a pace at the beginning to almost "too much-too fast" the last half.

It's almost like comic-book pace at the moment.

Very disappointed with them killing off Shane. He was the best character. I hate Rick, boring.

Well done episode. They reversed the order of who got to kill Shane (compared to the Graphic Novels), but, with the way they built the second half of the season with Rick and Shane it was the right way to do it.

Lori is a wretched creature. That little "talk" of hers sent Shane right off the deep end.

Finally they got some lines for poor T-Dog. Seems safe to say that Daryl and T-Dog will get much more screen time now that Dale and Shane are gone.

Next episode looks like it will be epic. Given how many Walkers are descending on the farm, there will probably be more characters that don't make season three.

Mostly that is true. I think if you die by severe head would (gun shot to brain, decapitation, stuff like that) you don't come back. Otherwise, you do.

The first time this happened in the comic is when I started to figure out what "The Walking Dead" meant...

Great show last night! And next week...Michonne? :eek::)

Or burn'em immediately after they pass. Remember the bodies having been burned where Shane/Rick tried dropping off the kid.

That's a carry over from "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn".

Rick needs to be grounded somewhat or you really wouldn't have much of a show.

I would guess there will be a whole host of new characters that have similar sometimes good/sometimes bad traits to keep things interesting.

I feel for the gal that plays Lori... Man, what the writers put that character through.

They will have no shortage of external antagonists in the third season, so they will not miss Shane's character (you know of whom I speak) :)

Jon Berenthal landed the lead role in LA Noir, so the writing has been on the wall for a while that that this season would be Shane's last.

Interesting note that I read yesterday. Supposedly, the cow that Dale stumbled upon in the last episode was not originally supposed to be a cow, but another cast member.

The producers are not playing around in these last few episodes.

The way the character is written it reminds me of John Cena in WWE. He always comes out ahead, no matter what happens you can count on him ending up with the final word or the final shot. It's annoying and makes for boring predictable tv.

I found Shane to be predictable and bordering on boring. Personally, I'm glad the show is rid of him.

Characters that are on the fringe are the best, in my opinion. It's what makes the Joker great. Shane was somewhat predictable but he was still interesting and the pace of the show changed when he was on the screen. Rick is boring. He will never die and he will never lose. Only way to salvage the character is to kill off Lori to make Rick edgier.
