oh that's it, i'm rewatching this episode right meow.

 

right meow.

 

wven after a year together...they still do not act or react as a team.

 

I think it was important for Carl's character to have it happen this way. It was another traumatic experience that built him up to making the decision with the Woodbury boy.

 

While we are at it, why didnt Rick not shoot Tony in the head and wait to see if he turned so he wouldnt have had to kill Shane in cold blood just to see if Jenner was right.

 

Of course not, it was Lori's voice in Ricks head wanting Rick to kill Shane so she would have full custody of the kid.

 

Just a little side question. When Rick said to Shane just before he killed him something about "nothing has happened here yet...let's go back to the house to Carl and Lori" did you notice the look on Shane's face? It was like the mention of Carl and Lori softened him up and then Rick stabbed him.

 

Because Shane was a decent guy he just did things differently from Rick and he went a little crazy but the man was getting screwed over.

 

It was Rick using Shanes natural fatherly emotions against him to get his guard down cuz Rick knew he couldnt be the father to Carl like Shane was so Rick had to kill him so everyone thought of Rick as a good father.

 

No one would have knew Rick did it, then Rick would be looked to as the father again.

 

Shane was a threat to Rick when it came to his position in his family to a degree. But Rick was also in Shane's way and I just can't Imagine a alpha male type like Shane putting up with it before the ZA nevermind during.

 

That part in the tent when she tells Rick Shane's crazy makes me want to punch her. I never hated her character for what she did, but the way she handled it was just poor form.
