The Walking Dead: Rick & Shane Clash

  WARNING:  I’ve tried my best not to reveal any major details from the latest episode of The Walking Dead but you still may not want to read this post if you haven’t seen it yet.

WARNING.

 

YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS.

POSSIBLE SPOILER

 

OK HERE IT COMES

 

  In a brilliant and chilling scene Rick transformed from the noble hero trying to protect his family into something cold and inhuman. Lori seemed to be pushing and pleading Rick to ‘do something’ about Shane.

  Show Runner Glen Mazzarra talked with TV Guide about the upcoming Rick and Shane clash.

  “It will be played out in the next episode. The next episode is an episode that really puts Shane and Rick at odds, and Rick is tired of secrets, and a lot will come spilling out.”

  Jon Bernthal is talks for Frank Daramount’s new TNT series pilot L.A. Noir. Does that mean Shane will not survive the showdown with Rick?

  “Let’s say this: You know the Shane character was killed off in the comic book very, very early. We are a show that is going to surprise people. People can speculate. I haven’t read the Frank script, but it is conceivable that Bernthal’s character gets offed in that pilot. I haven’t read it. So I don’t want to say anything about secrets or spoilers or anything like that, but I think fans will be satisfied with our story, and I’m just going to focus on that, not other material.”

  For the entire interview here’s the TV Guide link.

What fate does Shane deserve? Eaten by zombies? Turned into a zombie? Dead, just plain dead. I say Shane is a Walking Dead Man walking. Otis must be avenged.
