I actually talked about this with someone at work a few years ago - whenever Season 2 originally came on the air. I was also partial to Shane (and I've always felt that he truly thought that Rick was dead, and so when he told Lori that was the case, he hadn't meant to lie, So, I felt sorry for him that Lori chose to…

It's strange — since people have been mentioning pets, it reminds me that little kids and animals really do have stuff in common. I mean, a dog or cat who chews up stuff (almost never) needs medication, but just needs more play time/attention.

I just can't take this show seriously, due to the title. Slapping someone else's kid is a huge no-no (and slapping your own wouldn't make the Ten Best List for Great Moments in Parenting), but you can't help but think: 1. A kid gets slapped 2) It's a terrible, terrible decision, profuse apologies, awkward friendship…

At first glance, I thought it was Amanda Seyfried.

All he needs to do is look at a piece of cheesecake, and suddenly he's gained ten pounds.

Bowling for Columbine, of course, is also great. I just watched Capitalism, a Love Story, and enjoyed it.

That pic of the cyclops actually made me laugh.

Not that anyone asked, but I tend to stay away from this show, even though I watch it and do think it's good. But it just makes me sad. All the characters always seem so unhappy. That's not a criticism of it, but sometimes I wish I could just watch and enjoy it. Even so, as a heterosexual woman, I can still say it's…

Holy crap — did he play Angel's son? (I know I can IMDB it, but it's more fun to "talk" about it!)

Yes! Crazy Heart, to me, was an even more extreme example. Because the age difference seemed even greater, and the main character was even less desirable as a love interest.

Yeah, rewatching Season 2, it's hard to see them deal with Randall in such a stupid way. If the point was to make sure he didn't suffer, they just should have shot him in the head.

True! But that's partly because they're the focus of a tv show, where, if stuff didn't go wrong for the characters, well, they might as well not have a show at all. But you're right.

^THAT. And you nailed it by saying that although Shane was right about certain things, the strategy of trusting no one can also backfire. I mean, especially as regards Judith, going to Alexandria seems like a good decision.

I am eager to hear about his reasons for leaving his fortress that Rick visited. He must have had some sort of Moment of Zen. He went from all of those fatal, almost excessive, booby traps to leaving be some guys who implied they were going to torture him. Granted, he honked the horn, and I believe he meant for…

Also, it occurs to me… we've been asking whether or not Rick was right, but maybe the question is: was Shane right all along? He was the one who talked about the world being very different, and how all the rules have changed. In the end, he was crazy, but in hindsight, he predicted things like Terminus and the…

I think the "do it" was also a call back to when Rick told Deanna (while she was at her son's grave) that he was going to execute Pete. And Deanna much forbade him (as much as was possible) from it. So, saying "do it" was both a reversal on her instructions and an acknowledgement that she was on his side.

Perhaps others have said it already, but I wonder… as regards Alexandria deciding to side with Rick, even though he appears unstable - if that acquiescence is not so much proof that Rick is right in his beliefs, as a mistake on Alexandria's part.

I've never watched this film, only because the descriptions make it sound so heartbreaking.

I kept thinking that, too - essentially — that sadly, there are wife-beaters in real life, and the general consensus seems to be not to kill them.

Yes — I'm thinking, though, there is supposed to be a literal/metaphorical thing about leaving his compound, and leaving his insanity.
