Episode 3 "The Whore"

[MinionZombie]

Now that I've seen episode three, I'm chipping in on this issue. As bassman was saying, in the comics it's put down to a one-time thing when they were distraught, but here they add in Shane flat-out telling her Rick was dead. I think this is a better angle to play it, and I can see it providing better viewing when it comes to a head.   In the comic it's kind of like he's a bit love sick, and jealous, but it feels a little underdeveloped in a way ... although it's still handled well, and clearly Shane feels lost and alone, and has always been jealous of what Rick had with Lori and Carl. Then it all gets into a ruck and Carl takes him down ... I think the way they're doing it in the show will be more powerful. I think it's better to make it a deliberate ploy on Shane's behalf to fall to temptation and lie to Lori to try and get what he's always wanted, but as Callies was saying in that making-of-episode-two video, she thinks that Lori just wanted to grab onto someone human out of fear and an animal instinct to be close to someone in such horrific times. Plus, she thought Rick was dead - so it's also a rebound shag issue - so it's totally understandable for Lori to get jiggy with Shane's Deputy. It'll be interesting to see how they develop this betrayal and guilt aspect over the next three episodes. I think with Lori you empathise with her and can understand her decisions, as flawed as they turned out to be, but there was no malice intended on her part. With Shane you pity him at best, and think less of him at worst due to his deliberate deception. So if you had to say "who is in the wrong" - clearly it's Shane.

lmao just wanted to through a quick one in here that i was laughing about in episode 4. When the nut job they tied up was promising Rick's son that he'd be back, Shane has this look on his face like "oh boy here we go again" hoping that screwball is wrong!
