The Walking Dead (Season 2)


Recommended Posts

It seems the controversy they stirred up with the parenting of Carl or lack there of was taken care of.

the only thing I thought was little hokey was when Carl shot zombie-Shane and somewhere in the hundreds of walkers came from the woods. They had two pairs just walking for hours through those woods and didn't see a single one.. except Randall of course.

wow! what a great episode.... that was intense! best one yet... it sucks to see dale and shane go... they where big characters but im sure things will just get better with new additions to always keep the show new and fresh

I think the whole Randall and Shane turning thing has something to do with what the guy from the CDC whispered in Rick's ear in season 1. Probably that everyone is already infected.

Yea that's what I'm thinking aswell.

Awwww I liked Shane's Character.

Last 5 minutes were great!

I liked how Shane's character looked more and more like a zombie towards the end as well. Through out the episode, he was degrading in manners and features. Then near the end, he is walking around, blood all around his mouth, and sort of mouth breathing with grunts and wide eyes. Was a good way to foreshadow the next bit.

They did a very slippery slope with this "airborne" virus, or whatever it is... Because we have seen people transform with just a scratch, but they don't transform from cutting their arm open on something sharp. They don't turn from just wounds, but only wounds that bring upon death or a direct wound from a zombie. So will be interesting to see what the reason behind the untouched undead.

how else would the first Zombie have been turned

I was not surprised in what happened to Shane, he was starting to lose it with what happened earlier in the season. I was though surprised that everyone is 'infected' and will come back once you die no matter what happens. Of course it would be nice to know what the 'infection' is and what started all of this in the first place?

Hardly hokey. From the first few episodes we see 'The Herd' travelling not too far away from the farm. All the noise and gunshots might have attracted them.

Yes, noise attracts them, but my point is the group has been in the woods for hours and didn't see a single one.. Then Carl shoots his gun and hundreds come out from no where. I would at least think it'd take them a while longer to limp their way. Not a big deal, just slightly unbelievable.

WHAT THE FUUUUUU!

Why are they killing off the best characters of the show? First Dale then Shane?... WHY...WHY?! I don't know who to like anymore.. Rick is okay.. and So is Glenn but the rest.. like the girl who just sleeps in bed?... COME ON!

This show is good, really good.. but I am going to Miss Dale and Shane.

I probably will miss Dale, I did not care all that much for Shane so, to me at least, he won't be as missed. I hope they won't kill off Daryl since he is one of my favs.

I was mulling over what happened and one thing that kind of bugged me is the info that Randall gave Shane. So what's going to go down with that? Are they just going to ignore that now or will they may a surprise appearance in the season finale next week?

when did we ever see anyone on TWD turn from just a scratch?

It was pretty much hinted at with the police officers as one alreayd said.

So zombie scratch/bite = ****ed.

Dead = ****ed.

Scratch/hurt yourself - OK.

Shoot/Kill a zombie and have its guts all on you - OK :p

Maybe the virus is sort of in a weaken or dormant state while the person is healthy, but when they die, the virus can take over.... And zombies have the full blown virus, which when introduced to a human, makes them turn, as the full blown virus can not be stopped.... That's my theory.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is also the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.
