With the emergence of the Governor, the story has a new "anti-Rick". Shane was no longer needed in the narrative.

 

Good we need an antagonist that is less of a bone headed moron.

 

He tried to kill Rick over Lori lol... smh bros before hos.

Just kidding =P

Seriously though, he wanted to kill Rick who was the nicest person in the group at the time, he got pretty much irredeemable past that point... as for the Sophia thing, even a non-functioning clock is right twice a day.

 

Nah, it was obvious that Shane was planning to kill Rick that night, but at the end, he can not bring himself to pull that trigger, so Rick killed him

 

So do you think he just wanted to get it over with and just die, since he couldn't have Lori anyway? Can't say I blame him for Randall, or even Otis, he should have been more careful while hunting anyway and Shane loved Carl as a son, so I get that. But he only loved Carl and Lori and didn't give a crap about anyone else, he has been giving Rick bitchy looks ever since he saw he didn't die in season 1. Rick made the right choice by getting rid of him, keeping someone like that around is dangerous, he was obsessed with Lori like a Justing Bieber fangirl lol.

 

Ditto. Nothing about Shane was likable.

 

Shane was a likeable in the sense that i liked those chiseled abs and manly biceps... I would have totally used him and dumped his crazy azz haha

 

Now you have Shane playing the role of the martyr? I am not buying it.

Shane - 0
Rick - 1

 

Damn, this thread is giving me deja vu, BIG TIME. You don't even have to read these posts, you can just re-read all ShaneFans old immature ones and imagine the dates are newer.

I get the feeling it will devolve into something like his tantrums soon.

 

I swear I was just about to post "Hi Shane fan, long time no see."

 

That's still a douche move, doing that to Rick... why not just kill himself?

 

Lets be fair here. Rick waste as much ammo as anyone else maybe even more. Rick was also a douche for wasting all that ammo at the prison when they could of just stabbed the walkers through the fence. These guys are never gonna run out of ammo. They just say that for lip service so the fans think they are in a desperate situation.

As for Shane, he was a great character but I'm glad he's dead. I felt his character accomplished all it could; in fact I think he lived a little longer then he should have. His story arc with Lori and Rick dragged on way too long during the second season. That's why it seemed as why 2nd season was so slow. Guy should of been dead by mid season finale. Again great character just had nothing left to offer to the show.

 

Shane's character was excellent. He was a hero at times and a villain at times. He wanted to be the leader and had a completely different philosophy then Rick. I think they should have kept him alive... made him an outcast. And bring him back in a season or two as a part of a rival group. I was tired of the Shane -Lori drama as well. But the battle with Rick over leadership philosophies was intriguing.

 

Speaking of season two. Does anyone recall any reference to the group that young fella they killed at the farm belonged to? because the group he belonged to would make three in the area.

 

I remember him saying that there were about 30 of them, and that Shane would have fit right in... something like that.

I suppose that's up for interpretation, without any official word from the makers. Personally I think that's giving the character too much credit, I think he just chickened out at the end but he knew he couldn't backpaddle any more.

 

He's probably one of the most pathetic characters I've ever seen on television.

 

People are too rough on him. He did a lot of things right and was very pragmatic; dude was loyal to a fault with people he loved. Risked everything to For them. Risked his life trying to drag his friend out hospital. Protected His best friends Family like it was his. He may have done some evil things but he was not evil. evil guys would not break down like he did after leaving Otis behind, and leaving Otis behind was the pragmatic thing to do. Either 3 people die that night or 1 person dies that night. Rick would have done the same thing (cabin guy). At the end he spiraled out of control but he still had enough morality/love left in him to not pull that trigger. Guy was a tragic character. A good man broken by a horrible world.
