Rick now knows about Shane and Lori. Lori and Rick tell Shane as much?
Robert Kirkman: It's a big revelation that Rick now knows about the affair. Whether or not he's going to be confronting Shane immediately or whether that's going to continue to be bubbling below the surface, we'll find out.
Rick also learns of Lori's pregnancy and seems surprised by the news. Is it safe to say that Lori's pregnancy isn't what Jenner whispered to Rick before the CDC exploded?
Kirkman: If it was, I would imagine that Rick would have brought that up and wouldn't have seemed surprised. I can say it's pretty safe to say that that's not what he said. I guess we're ruling that possibility out as much as I hate to. That is pretty much not what Jenner whispered.
During that same conversation with Lori, Rick says "he can't live like this" when the two are discussing potentially raising a baby amid a zombie apocalypse where a loud cry could put in danger. Could we see the pair branch off from the group and venture out on their own?
Kirkman: Yes. Anything can happen, that's really the appeal of this show. You're living without the safety net of civilization so all bets are off. We've seen that in Shane's behavior and a lot of things with Daryl (Norman Reedus). The fact that this is a group that is living together and surviving together to a certain extent, you can be lulled into thinking that that is the status quo of the show. Moving forward, we're going to be doing things that will be reminding the audience that this is definitely a television show where anything goes and not to take anything for granted. These characters could do anything at any time. Rick and Lori splitting off for the betterment of their children and safety of their family is definitely a possibility.

So no Dale & Andrea relationship on the TV show? I think I'm hearing sighs of relief...
ReplyDeleteI think I am a bit relieved....
ReplyDeleteI did a little reading about the differences between the TV series and graphic series and that was one I found interesting. It really makes sense why Andrea and Dale were together in the books, but introducing the relationship as something that grows at a later date wouldn't feel as believable to me.
Oh thank God that there won't be Dale/Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI don't read the comics so it was a surprise knowing that Andrea and Dale did become a couple in the comics.
ReplyDeleteBut that sure means one thing: if she stays with Shane instead of Dale, that's the difference between staying with someone wise and go for it with the Darth Vader wannabee.
The fate of Shane should dictate Andrea's fate.
Episode 7: "Pretty Much Dead Already"
ReplyDeleteEpisode opens with Glenn revealing the presence of the walkers to the rest of the group, who promptly proceed to freak out. Maggie becomes angry with Glenn for not keeping the secret and ruins his hat in retribution. Dale gives Glenn his trademark hat as a replacement. Maggie later makes a plea to Hershel for the group to stay. She and Glenn also have an argument about the walkers, after which they eventually admit their feelings, kiss and make up.
Rick and Hershel argue, with Hershel demanding the group leave within a week. Rick uses the my-wife-is-pregnant card, but Hershel's not persuaded. Shane also wants the group to get the hell out of there because of the walkers in the barn, but Rick uses the same excuse to cool him down. However, Shane then becomes convinced that Lori's baby is his.
Dale takes off with Shane's guns to hide them in the swamp. Shane tracks him down and demands he give the guns back. Dale points his rifle at him and threatens to shoot. However, he backs down at the last moment, since he has no wish to become like Shane: he reveals that he knows Shane shot Otis and lied about what really happened. Shane heads back to the farm with the guns.
Hershel has Rick help him and Jimmy try to fish some walkers out of a nearby pit of quicksand and lead them into the barn with snare poles. He says the group can stay on the farm if they agree not to kill the walkers. They arrive at the farm about the same time Shane emerges from the swamp and hands out guns to other members of the group.
Shane sees the snared walkers and goes berserk. He yells at Rick and Hershel as they guide the walkers towards the barn, with the rest of the group and people in the farm looking on. He pulls his sidearm and unloads it in the chest of one of the walkers, demanding to know "Could someone who's alive just take that? Why is it still coming?" Hershel has no answer.
He finishes off the walker with a headshot, grabs a nearby pickaxe and breaks open the barn door. Walkers pour out, T-Dog, Daryl, Shane, Glenn, and Andrea form a line and open fire. Once the dust clears, one more walker emerges. Sophia. Rick finally steps up next to the others, pulls his six-shooter and kills Sophia with a shot to the head. End episode.
