I really enjoyed the last couple episodes of it, seems like they are returning to the same vibe they had in season 1. The first half of season 2 was destroyed by budget cuts but the past 4 or 5 episodes have been really solid and look a helluva lot more entertaining. The final episode looks to be excellent with packs of zombies bearing down on the farm.

I'm gonna have to get the comic, Dale lasts so much longer in the comic.

Yeah hes also not as anti gun as the show. Seriously how are you gonna survive the zombie apocalypse and have an old man hiding all the guns?

This is a spoiler post so fair warning!
I was kinda disappointed they killed shane, I know he dies way earlier in the comics but still they did good justice to his death though, when rick stabs him when he shoots it was an intense moment, and the buildup at the end of the episode for the season finale looks awesome, will definitely be tuning in tonight.

They did shane good with his death.. probly the best way a person could almost go in that series, either way, the 3rd season will be hard pressed to be as good as the ending few episodes of this one.

Yeah, my brother was really pissed off when they killed Dale because he's a big fan of the comic series and was just floored when they went against the original material. I can see his reasoning there, but I haven't read the books, so I'm just enjoying the hell out of the series. Such a great show.

They killed Dale off cause the actor was leaving since the person who got him to join the series was either canned, or left over a dispute.. insteada getting another actor they killed em off.. I hear since he died they didn't kill some other person off.. probly the girl who wanted to kill herself but survived the wrist thing.

Jeffrey Demunn the actor playing Dale is a Frank Darabont regular. Mr Darabont got canned due to the budget cut. I don't think it happened because of that since the actress playing Andrea has been in a few of his films.
Anyhow, that was a cool episode last night.

it was a good episode, next season will hopefully pick up, first half and the last 3 or so episodes were good, it tried telling more of a story this season.. last one was more or less them needing things not many zombies.

The creators stated that they wanted to make the show different because otherwise it would be boring for the people that read the comics. Shane dieing far earlier in the comics is an example of the show taking a different path than the comics.

I'm glad Shane found Dale hiding the bag of guns in the swamp, imagine if he was hiding them then attacked by the zombie. They would have been up shit creek without a paddle.
