I have to say that I enjoyed this episode the most out of the 2 season. It is interesting to see the comparison between the comic book and also the extra spice of the new take on the characters. If it was an exact interpretation of the comic book there would be no surprise factor.
** SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WANTED TO READ COMICS***
I’ve read through to volume 11 of the comics and so far I think:
Having Shane is excellent as he embodies frustration and at times rage. This is one of main deference’s as Carl shoots Shane in the first few issues defending his Dad. He’s one of favourite characters as he is always a surprise factor he feels like a ticking time bomb.
Darryl is great and is a character that doesn’t exist in the comics I’m looking forward to seeing what happens if /when Merle (also not in the comics) comes back and how this affects the group.
As a whole the comic is a lot darker with characters dying left right and centre which probably wouldn’t be possible in terms of retaining actors. Also it’d be rather bleak in terms of gaining new viewers if characters you get to know/love keep getting pasted.
The episode:
I found it a little silly that everyone sat back and let Shane open up the barn but I suppose he was at the end of his tether. Seems to me that he’s the biggest danger to everyone at the moment I’m looking forward to seeing the fallout from this.
It’s interesting to hear Shane say that Rick isn’t cut out for this world as in the dying moments of this episode he pops a cap in Sophia’s skull. As we know Rick get’s darker and darker in the comics it’ll be interesting to see whether Rick can hold on to his humanity in the TV series.
Anyway that my two cents…..or 50 …ha-ha
