The Walking Dead 2.13 - Besides the Dying Fire (season finale - SPOILERS)

I loved how Lori flinched away from Rick after he told her about killing Shane. She might as well have said, "How dare you kill my boyfriend who was plotting your murder!"

Lori has to go. I'm hoping she's next on the zombie appetizer plate.

I am not a fan of Lori, but I thought she recoiled from Rick after he said that it was Carl that killed zombie Shane, since she had made it clear that she didn't want Carl handling a gun...

That probably could have used spoiler tags. :) Probably true of anything that wasn't revealed in the episode but that might come in the next season due to being in the print version.

I added the spoiler tags, but they've deviated enough from the comics where I don't think mentioning something like that makes a big difference - especially when you consider that Sophia & Dale are still alive at this point in the comics and the group had been joined by Tyreese, Tyreese's daughter Julie and her boyfriend Chris before Hershel's farm. Plus, there was no Daryl, Merle or T-Dog in the comics.
 

He was in a few scenes, and he was the subject of the conversation between Maggie and her sister. She was complaining that she felt stuck with Jimmy because they just happened to be dating when the zombpocalypse took place. I guess she doesn't need to worry about that any more.

He was also seen the previous episode hammering some boards onto the windows of the house.
 

Yeah, I think she would have gotten over Rick defending himself against a homicidal Shane. But having your little boy shoot the zombie of his "uncle", that's just horrifying (and another fine example of nobody keeping an eye on the damn kid!).

Thanks. It does sound significantly different. How long is the run of the comic (and is it still going)? Which do you like better?
 

The comic is still going, I think 94 is the latest issue.

As others have indicated, the TV plotline has diverged significantly from the comic's in some ways, but they have mostly followed it. The prison we saw at the end of this episode showed up at the end of issue 12, for example. Michonne shows up around issue 20. Even though the stories are a bit different, the TV show has really only tapped the first 20% or so of the comic. There's still tons of stories to be mined for the TV show! :)

Thanks. I've been afraid to search online and risk reading something I'd rather not know in advance of the show revealing it.
 


Well, again, not defending Lori (who was playing low-rent Lady McBeth just a few episodes ago), what Rick actually said was pretty brutal: "I knew what Shane was up to, but I let him do it because I just wanted it to end, so I let him lure me away from camp, threaten me, and then I killed him in cold blood." Lori's reaction was her "Out, Damn spot!" moment.
