This show featured Rick and Shane finally getting into it and in a very physical way. It wasn’t quite “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Keith David duking it out in They Live but it was well on the way.
ROBERT KIRKMAN: Well, thank you. They Live is one of the best movies ever made. But, yeah, one guy dropped a motorcycle on another guy. That’s a pretty intense fight. It’s definitely a testament to how intense the rest of this season is going to be. This is a faster-paced, more action-packed Walking Dead.
At one point in the show, Rick told Shane he had quickly figured out that something had happened between him and Lori. There seemed to be a suggestion that Rick’s knowledge predated Lori’s confession.
Absolutely. That’s something that we were playing with. It would be somewhat obvious to Rick, even back in season 1, that there was definitely something going on there. What we were always trying to play is the fact that Rick is such a great leader and such a good guy that he was willing to bottle that up and more or less ignore it for the sake of the group and the sake of surviving. So, yeah, I think he knew for a while.
I enjoyed the way that Shane was almost hoist by his own argument-petard with regards to being ruthless in the post-apocalypse.
Yeah, he kind of put his foot in his mouth on that one a little bit. But I mean, that’s really Shane’s character. This is a guy that is reckless and is scared and is trying to hide it and he’s making snap decisions and most of the time he’s doing that to protect himself and he’s not really thinking about the big picture and he’s not really thinking about the people around him. That’s really his flaw and this is a big example of that.
