The Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion *Spoilers*

Found these today:

Episode 2.09 - Triggerfinger
Rick, Hershel and Glen are trapped and fight to survive; Shane finds Lori in danger.

Episode 2.10 - 18 Miles Out
Rick and Shane are in conflict over the fate of an outsider; Andrea helps Hershel's daughter face a crucial decision.

Episode 2.11 - Judge, Jury, Executioner
Rick sides with Shane causing Dale to worry that the group is losing its humanity; Carl's actions have unintended consequences.

Episode 2.12 - Better Angels
Someone dangerous may be loose near the farm; Rick, Shane, Daryl and Glenn keep the group safe.

Episode 2.13 - Beside the Dying Fire
Rick and Carl find the farm in jeopardy; the group is split up in the chaos; Rick's leadership is questioned

Sounds to me like
Merle's coming back
.
 
Anyone else notice, those episode summaries are for Episodes 9-13? No mention of Episode 8.

Might that mean, the off-format episode that Darabont was considering as the season opener may in fact be the Mid-Season opener? Or is there already an Episode 8 summary floating around, so it was considered redundant to be on the list?

I haven't be able to find one for episode 8. I think that they've totally shelved Darabont's idea.

- edit -

Ok...I just found one for episode 8

After the destruction of his family, Herschel demands that Rick and his group leave immediately. Shane and Rick's differences begin to openly erupt.
 
Ah, OK. Me and my suspicious mind, thinking something was up with Episode 8, since it had been left out :alienblush:
 
^Is it? I was rather looking forward to seeing...
...the prison storyline and Michonne.
Well, I'm not familiar with the books. I just like the way things have been going at the farm. I think the old man is an interesting character and I like Glen's girlfriend.
 
I haven't been looking at the spoilers in this thread, but there are stories about two very interesting casting developments that I've stumbled across today and even though I still don't want to read any spoilery responses :rommie: I'll share them with yall and then run away and hide.

Possible addition:

JOHN HAWKS!?!?! Good gort, what a casting coup that would be! Would he even do TV?

Possible (highly speculative) deletion:

John Bernthal is rumored to be up for the lead in Frank Darabont's TNT series in development, LA Noire. It would be nice to think with the short seasons, Bernthal could do two cable series, but if he has to choose, and as much as I love Shane, I really do wanna see Bernthal do Darabont's new series. I can't think of any TV actor today who looks more like he stepped right off the pages of a Raymond Chandler novel, not even if the reincarnation of Humphrey Bogart showed up at Darabont's front door.

Maybe they could move Shane to recurring status after his zombiefication. He would be an awesome zombie! :rommie: Maybe he and Otis could team up.

Yeah, he was in several episodes of Lost in it's final season.
 
I LOVED him in Deadwood and Winter's Bone. Not sure if he would commit to a series, now that his film career is heating up.

eta: Just read on SyFy that he will NOT be doing the part, so the role is still up for grabs.

Why's it good that they're sticking around the farm? Isn't that pretty played-out, story-wise? And if it's to rest up and spend time in the 'oasis' so to speak, we already spent half a season doing that. Small sample size, but we've already spent half the SERIES hanging out down on the farm, time to move on. Would have thought that the end of the fall season would have been a nice breaking point on that issue.

The trailer for this Sunday's episode already implies that Herschel is leaving the farm [ I'd assume upset over the Zombie kill fest at the barn.

Any other speculation on what might happen based on the previews?

Herschel: "You people killed my wife!"
Rick: "She was already dead!"
Herschel: "Well, you ... you ... killed her even worse!"
Zombie: "I'm not dead."
Herschel: "She says she's not dead."
Rick: "Yes she is."
Zombie: "I'm not."
Herschel: "She isn't."
Rick: "Well, she will be soon, she's very ill, plus she has large gunshot wounds."
Zombie: "I'm getting better."
Rick: "No you're not, you'll be stone dead after Shane gets through with you."
Zombie: "I think I'll go for a walk."
Rick: "You're not fooling anyone, you know. See why we call them walkers?"
Zombie: "I feel happy. I feel happy."
 
I didn't mind that they stayed at the farm. It was the fact that the story was so stagnant. Week after week of looking for a fairly unimportant character got old. As long as the story picks up the pace, I'm happy for them to stick around a while longer.
