Yaay, finally here. :)

Nicholas Pagnant

I really appreacite you posting so much even though I see your traveling . You the best tom❤️🙏🏽

Luke Fitton

I know Shane was deeply flawed and generally not the greatest person but I can safely say that he was my favourite character of Season 2 and made it very entertaining for me. He felt just as much like the main character as Rick did to me and I enjoyed it every time he was on screen. Now that you’ve seen all of Season 2, are there any characters that stick in your mind as your favourites? It seems like you’ve been enjoying Maggie, Glenn and Daryl’s characters a lot.

ThaJackBoy

YESSSSSIRRRRR been at work watching the breaking bad reactions just waiting for new walking dead reactions!🫡

Brittany Lewandowski

To me that final scene will always read to me as Shane wanting to die and goading Rick into doing it so Rick would become the leader he needed to be. Not Shane wanting to kill Rick. WHich is also how Jon Bernthal sees it. Bernthal even wanted Shanes gun to be empty here to enhance that idea. RIP the GOAT Shane. He's nto delusional or crazy, he's right. Rick did ruin everything. Their camp in Atlanta was FINE until Rick showed up. People started dying once Rick showed up. Forever crying over Shane dying.

Rick: "Swallow it. Move on." Me: Absolutely! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ceylen

Been waiting for this

Xavier Louis

Omg having the worst day and forgot this was today you just made my day LETSSSSS GOOOOOOO

Mami's Gatos

They get more affectionate and open and expressive with one another in the following seasons. At this point, I think its been a little over 90 days. Theyre all trying to figure out where they fit and who theyre gonna be in this new world. Plus im sure they all STINK to high heaven and are still somewhat self conscious about it. When someone else smells bad or I know I need a wash, I don't want folks all over me. 😷

selma🎬🩰

your reaction to twd are my reasons to live rn 😂 i love them so much !!

ForWhyTho

Let me tell you somethin': the pure hypocrisy of Shane constantly nagging Rick about putting the group at risk, i.e., Sophia "chasing a ghost in the woods". Then he orchestrates this plot to have Daryl, Glenn, Rick and himself chase a literal ghost in the woods who Shane KNEW was dead, putting the group as a whole at risk because he knows Lori doesn't watch that damn boy, and knowing that the potential loss of all their strongest soldiers puts the group in much more danger...it's just so Shane. I gotta say, though, Jon Bernthal's performance of this character was pure perfection, and I found myself missing his character the rest of the series.

nobudy

man when you talked about hugging that broke me.

Skyler

There some things about Shane i agree with, and I also love watching his character this season. But he IS delusional, he is off the rails with his way of thinking, his possesivness over Lori and Carl is not ok. His SA towards Lori was not ok, and idc that he was drinking, never excuses that behavior. Rick did not ruin "everything", he has made some mistakes but does not mean he is the cause for everything going wrong. Jon Bernthal & Shane himself is amazing to watch on screen, and I would have been fine with more screen time from him. But he is not in the right with his way of thinking, nor is he even in the right mind. Rick needs some hardening, which Shane has, but Shane lacks empathy and a heart for others. Not a leader that i would want in my group tbh.

i love ricks speech to carl. its a beautiful scene. just a man talking to his son who is growing up too fast. “no more kid stuff” is so poignant. he is so honest and upfront with him but it’s necessary. him lying to him or hiding the horrific aspects of their life now doesn’t help carl, it would hurt him. the “i’m tired son” gets me. people forget how much pressure it is being the leader. and again, he’s a husband and father on top of that. plus he’s losing his closest friend like rick has been going through A LOT but because he’s so stoic it’s hard to see.

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

here’s anotha long comment lmao i think a part of why shane started hating and resenting rick is bc he is everything he isn't. it's a constant reminder of how less of a man he is when it comes to rick. once he was in the picture rick became in charge just like he was when they were both cops. everyone respects and listens to him. you’re religious so you know envy is one of the deadly sins. shane has probably always had a lingering jealousy and the apocalypse just made it worst. even back to the first episode when they were talking about women. rick had a family and shane didn't so once he had the chance he tried to steal rick's family and make it his own. rick even called him out for it. he doesn't love lori or carl he loves how they make him feel...which is needed/wanted. shane honestly just lost his mind. he is mentally sick. he became delusional, (talking about it was a long time coming for him and lori which means he clearly had feelings for her for a WHILE). what's crazy is without rick he wouldn't know lori or carl smh he is just TRIFLIN. and although i do believe lori was the catalyst for that happening at that moment, eventually shane still would've tried to get rid of rick. i think he rushed the plan because he saw an opportunity with randall. he couldn’t accept losing his power or losing lori and carl. you’d think his love for his best friend would outweigh that but it didn’t. sometimes love isn’t enough and sometimes hate is stronger than love. what sucks is rick has lost the most in this situation. his crying and wailing gets me every time 😩 he had to kill his childhood best triend after trying so hard to keep the peace. he didn't want to do it at all, thats why he let him lead him through the woods for so long. if he truly wanted to kill him he would’ve done it when they were fighting. he even said it when taking to andrea when he said shane is a good guy he just gets lost sometimes (i’m paraphrasing). but ive said it before, rick is blinded by the good in shane that he struggles seeing and accepting all the bad. that someone he’s known and loved for so long turned into a monster that he eventually had to put down. that’s why he fought so hard for shane to get in line. i think deep down he knew this could be a possible outcome but tried his best to avoid it. and then carl wants to point a gun at his father?! it’s been debated and i know it's pretty close with the timing but it looks like he did have the gun up for a couple seconds before shane stood up. it seems like carl pointed the gun at rick out of anger and confusion. he did think about letting shane bite him which is why he didn't say anything or warn rick, then eventually realized he couldn't let that happen and then shot shane. he was contemplating which is WILD.

Korivex

When Rick said 'It is my call' he was asserting his dominance over Shane as the leader. Did you notice that Shane didn't go to Rick after he spoke with Carl, it was after he spoke to Lori. Even though Lori was trying to clear the air, Shane seen it as... 'if not for Rick, Lori would choose to be with me'.

Stash Barber

seventeen minutes in and lori is pulling her bullshit with shane. either she is dumb as hell or that is exactly what she wants. he was finally leaving her alone and she just wasn't happy with that. some people just need drama like it's oxygen.

Mami's Gatos

He ain't gotta tell me twice 😏 🤭

Mami's Gatos

Shane bothered me more than he didnt but he was so strong and capable. Any opposition the group faced after this point would've stood ZERO chance if Shane had lived and didn't go crazy. Thats my humblest opinion.

Skyler

Tom I have been waiting for this one, I knew you'd be pretty flabbergasted lol! I love this episode so much, I have watched that final showdown with Rick & Shane so many times. It is honestly a very iconic scene in the entire show. Loved Jon Bernthals performance as Shane, his character was so well written & acted that he is still talked about to this day! But Shane was too far gone imo, could only imagine what this will do to Rick as a person. Almost at season 3 and it will also blow you away!

Zero

That camp wasn't going to last forever and if Shane dragged them on a trip to Fort Benning, one that literally none of them were prepared or skilled enough for, he would've gotten them all killed. Interesting take on that scene though, I wonder if that was Kirkman's angle, too.

ForWhyTho

We are absolutely in sync on that. There are so many moments even in the very next season where I'm like damn Shane if you really loved these folk you should be here and we'd be so much better off with him. It's not the same in and for all his tough talk he obvs couldn't turn his feelings off but the partnership of him and Rick would have been much more productive and made far more sense than either of them with Lori 😮‍💨 Made the group safer and stronger too.

Zero

He leaves such a lasting impact on the show, it's been so many years and I still find myself missing Shane in later seasons. Jon Bernthal was absolutely phenomenal in this role, an unforgettable performance.

Zero

Couldn't wait for this reaction! Jon Bernthal performed Shane so brilliantly in just these two seasons and definitely leaves a mark on the rest of the show; get ready for some tone and character shifts! The final scenes in this episode STILL give me chills to this day.

Zumanji

One thing to keep in mind is that Shane didn’t come up with his plan until after the convo with Lori. This is one of the reasons a lot of fans get annoyed with Lori, the wishy washyness she’s been doing from the get go. She’s constantly back & forth with Shane. Almost as if she’s playing with him. They start off together then Rick comes back & she’s like don’t talk to us, the sa in the cdc center, then gets mad at Shane when Shane is doing what Lori said & rebuffs Carl. Shane starts making plans to leave & Lori talks him into staying, then starts whispering in Rick’s ear about how dangerous Shane is. A few episodes later she’s telling him the feelings were real between them & that she doesn’t know who the father of her baby is. Point is that she knows Shane is dangerous but she’s still playing with his emotions, only thing she did there during that convo is to guarantee that Shane is even more imbalanced mentally. When you have a person this mentally unwell you have to choose your words very, very carefully. I saw one of the other comments about how Shane very well could have been seeking suicide by cop (so to speak) & I have never thought about it in that way but it does make sense, whether or not he was actively conscious of the fact. I can only imagine how exhausting all that emotion was on Shane’s body, soul & mind. There’s a quote that I think about when I think of Shane “people (in general) are not comfortable with killing, soldiers don’t come back from war with ptsd because they’re comfortable with killing” it’s not entirely word for word but you get the gist, I hope 😅 RIP Shane, you will not be forgotten, while your char was not an entirely good person your char was awesomely played & was really entertaining to watch packing so much emotion into season 2.

Pemo7216

Shane was "built" for the apocalypse yet only survived one day more than dale lol

Brittany Lewandowski

Disagree with you on all of that, aside from the SA on Lori, I'll never defend that action. And Everything was fine before Rick showe dup base don the information we are given. ANd Shane doesn't lack empathy, he cares about the group and if he lacked empathy he would have felt any remourse over Otis, which he did. you could see it in his eyes.

Brittany Lewandowski

No the camp likely wouldn't have lasted forever and you also dont know if they'd have died trying to go to fort benning. I really want a 'what if' series for The Walking dead. I dont think Kirkman had an angle for it on the show. In the comics it certainly isnt that because shane is WAY crazy in the comics and doesnt make it past the Atlanta camp.

Brittany Lewandowski

I'd rather Shane as my leader then Rick. Ricks an awful leader.

Lab

I really liked Dale. What an OG

Vamwolf 77

I agree with you completely except for the part about Carl. Walkers always twitch and move a little before they stand up (Amy, for example). Believe what you want, everyone has their own personal opinion, but in my own personal head-canon, Carl saw Shane moving before he stood up and was too shocked and scared to say anything. If you watch the barrel of his gun, he never adjusts his aim the entire time

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

that’s why i said the timing might be off bc that’s what it looked like to me but idk if it was ever confirmed or not. he still hesitated on telling rick that shane was coming towards him tho which doesn’t sit right with me bc he could’ve warned him or something and then rick would have killed him so carl didn’t have to.

AJ

What an extremely generous take. Their camp in Atlanta was not fine. It would have never lasted. Where was their supply stock? Where was a permanent structure for them? A sustainable way to feed the group? Shane got them to safety, bully for Shane. But they weren't making any progress. I don't agree with a lot of Rick's choices either, but Shane literally tore the group apart all because he lost the girl he was dating for a month He was absolutely unhinged and absolutely trying to kill Rick. It's a shame because I think if Shane could've just gotten over himself, he would've been a great addition to the team, and like someone else said above, it probably would've prevented a lot of future events. But he couldn't and he needed to die. He was far too dangerous to the group

AJ

Won't somebody please watch this child? The severe lack of supervision of Carl bothers me DEEPLY as a mom of a young child. Like I don't care if you're "bored" doing housework, you are going to sit there and do the damn dishes where I can see you when I KNOW there are zombies nearby

sk8star

lori talking to shane at the windmill was the catalyst for his death

Amy J

Shane lost his mind entirely, I am so glad he's gone tbh 🫢😂 But Lori wtf? How did Carl walk all the way out there completely unnoticed?

WillDaBeast Grasslands

It's always been my opinion that Shane wanted to force Rick to kill him, because I don't think Shane really wanted to live anymore. He knew that he'd never have Lori and Carl again, and Rick was right, I don't think Shane would be able to live with himself if he killed Rick and "stole" them back. But even more than that, I think Shane wanted to push Rick into becoming a stronger protector. It's almost like batman and joker, where the joker wants batman to break his one rule. The only difference is, Shane wants Rick to break that rule to prove that Rick will do anything for Lori and Carl. Idk, that's kinda how I see it.

Zak Lewis

Women are great?!!! Blasphemy! Almost all the women I met in my life were catty biotches. No offense to the ladies here but I mean, of all the knives that have been put into my back the number that came from ladies far outweighs the times I felt a knife in my chest from a man.

Reaction Therapy

You nailed it..:Daryl, then Maggie and Glen…I just love them!!!😊

B. Paul

Your reaction to the intro scene kills me every time😂😂

Angelica Albanese

I think Shane believed Rick would never have the gall to kill him. He was instigating a fight, so he could have evidence to back up his murder, because he thought Rick wouldn't take it too far. Boy was he wrong there, the math did not add up. In regards to your commentary about widows missing their husband's hugs, I'm in a similar boat with my divorce and feel much the same. Save for the rare hug from my parents I'm not in a situation where I get regular hugs or have someone to cuddle with. Sucks.

Zf

I looked it up last week after seeing Dale die. It seems so meaningless and sudden because it was. Apparently the actor said he didnt want anything to do with the show because the original director was fired? Something like that Shame too he's an amazing character

ammogreed

He's so full of it

Bro

This episode reminds every time how well TWD’s writing is this season. Rick trying to be the man he knows he is but his own best friend Shane putting him in a position. In which he would have to kill him. His own best friend, brother even. So sad. But spectacular writing that shapes who Rick is and Shane is and why Shane and him couldn’t gel together in this new world. Rick’s tears I feel them every time I rewatch this episode an amazing but sad scene.

Reaction Therapy

Totally agree, so sad and Shane was forever feeling like an outcast and disrespected after Rick showed up😢

Reaction Therapy

Thank you for sharing that Angelica, I think those things are important for connection and so often get overlooked

Reaction Therapy

Such an interesting take William, and makes sense the way you say it👍

Reaction Therapy

I feel the same way but don’t want to harp on it, I’d be watching 24/7 in this world😳

Reaction Therapy

Well said, I think he needed to leave earlier and start his own life, I think he probably could’ve made it if he had a group to lead

Zf

I know what kind of man you are 👀

Mami's Gatos

His feelings were based off a delusion, thats the most frustrating part. Thats why im screaming, "Lori stfu!!!!stop talking to Shane and sharing feelings with him. That man is unwell and obsessed with you!!" I feel like he had accepted things before she apologized and said she dont even know who the daddy is. You cannot walk up to your stalker and give them a guy. Theyre gonna take that as a green light.

ForWhyTho

Right. I just wish she put that energy or worrying or whatever that last conversation was towards her son. That's the main thing I can't get over; unless they were playing hide and seek and she sucks at it what in the heck was going on with that?! She was a stay at home Mom before all this, having him around and close shouldn't be a foreign concept, quite the opposite 💢

Mami's Gatos

Someone should do an auto tune mash up of her asking "Has anyone seen Carl?!!" I swear she was one of those moms who just put their kids in the backyard all day!🤣🤣 She literally does nothing but dry dishes and cry and advise.

Josie

His performance was so good that I literally can't watch him in anything else. He is forever Shane from TWD in my head!

SixFeetUnderKai

"No more kid stuff..." This line hits so hard later. No spoilers even necessary.

Chris Unknown

Shane had to go, but MAN Jon Bernthal is such a fantastic actor. He played that role so perfectly. This is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. Just so many beautiful shots, and so many well acted scenes.

PJ Playhouse

I will miss shane he was a character I liked.

Artemis Clyde

When Lori made amends with Shane, he completely relapsed into being overwhelmingly in love with her. The idea of being without her at that point drove him mad.

Heather

Carl's theme that you hear in the background of his scene talking to Rick in the barn window is very important, and a theme worth remembering!! this show doesn't have a lot of character themes, so try to remember this one if you can; it'll make the times it comes back all the more impactful for you 🤗🩷 LOVED your reaction to this one; Shane's death is such a pivotal point for Rick, and Carl too

Sussie

And once again Carl was just there! Great reaction! Yeah this could have easily been the season finale. What an ending!! As much as I never liked Shane Jon Bernthal was amazing in the role. And now you know everyone turns into a walker when they die.

marlon adams

I am happy to be a vip member

marlon adams

you are right about the tucking people i feel alone with no tuck

Dee D

Tom, welcome to #TeamDaryl!!!!! 🏹💪🏻

Mami's Gatos

I feel like Shane and Abraham would've really gotten along for some reason.

Mami's Gatos

Oh, I'll get over it.. I'll get under it too 😜😜
