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

[Oryan77]

Can someone explain to me what that kid was doing in the RV when he pulled up to the barn? Why in the world did he get out of the driver seat?

I don't normally talk to the tv when I watch shows, but that had me saying, "What in the world is he doing!?!" Then I turned to my wife and asked her the same thing. Was he trying to see if Rick & Carl jumped on? And why the hell didn't he lock the door? That scene seemed to be written with no thought behind it at all.

I was wondering that myself - maybe he initially thought Rick & Carl could jump in the open door, only he found that it was zombie city there and had gotten up to shut/lock the door?

 

[Kzach]

Duh, he had no surname, that's why he did something stupid that got him killed.

 

[Mark CMG]

I thought the walkers busted open the door and he was trying to close it.

 

[Hand of Evil]

It was Dales' RV and it had to die too...and anyone in it too, that's symbolism.

prior to him dying, I spent most of the last few episodes wondering, "who the heck is Jimmy?"

It's like Hershel had a couple of hiders living on his farm that allegedly live there, but you never see until its time for them to die.

 

[Janx]

Yeah, that's absolutely what it was. From a story perspective, I loved that touch. I thought it was a great twist that Rick and co were doomed to be attacked by the herd one way or the other and had little say in the matter, days if not weeks before they ever arrived at the farm. The wheels were already in motion. (OK, yes, there was the fact that Shane's gunshot drew their attention directly towards the farm, but they were still in the neighbourhood.)

thats not the way I saw that.

The chopper took the zombies one way, and had Shane not fired his gun, the zombie horde would have kept heading past the farm. Instead, they turned right for the farm.

It was Shane that doomed the farm. Just as it had always been Shane that was threatening the peace on the farm.

 

[Rabulias]

Well, even if Shane had not fired, the zombies would have come running (figuratively) after Carl put Shane down.

And truly can't we trace the whole ZA back to Lori?

if shane had not fired, rick wouldn't have killed him.

If shane hadn't been angling to kill rick, nobody would have been out there to attact the zombies that night.

Carl still would have wandered out there & caused something to happen to bring on Farmageddon.
