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.

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.

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.

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.

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
