The zombies were on treadmills in the barn, with a brain on a stick dangling in front.

It's a good thing you aren't a TV writer, not that you'd make it as one. You'd have the entire first season of episodes just us watching them scrounge for supplies and it'd have been cancelled by the second episode.

They get their power from the ground. You see, the farm is really on an island with unique magnetic properties. It also has a shiny cave, a smoke monster and a polar bear roaming around. Oh, and Rick and Shane are eventually going to have to press some numbers into a box ever so often to prevent the real end of the world.

I think you read Shane incorrectly. If you are talking about the shooting of Otis, that was a do or die situation, Kobayashi Maru if you prefer. He knew that both of them couldn't make it, he made the best choice for the group, in the extremely short time he had to make it. I wonder what you would do in that scenario. Sure Shane knew (or hoped) he would survive and get back to save Carl. He was not simply doing it to save himself. There was no way Otis was going to be able to keep up or make it. He was way to morbidly obese, a heart attack waiting to happen.
Do you think Shane would kill farmer H and anyone who got in the way of the group staying? I don't. What is H going to use, harsh language to get them off the farm? Shane wanted the weapons to neutralize the threat from the Walkers in the barn, not to save himself, but the group, including H's people. Shane was willing to be killed to get the weapons back to the group. What's Rick doing? Bringing in two more Walkers to the Barn Dance. That's who you trust? His wife is going to have a baby, his son is there, they are looking for a girl, he gives up everyone having access to their weapons, just to make nice with H so they can stay? What the hell is Rick thinking? They are all going to sit around a fire and sing Kumbaya? That's as nuts as H saying the Walkers are just sick people.
I'm really curious to see where the show goes from here. I also enjoy the different thoughts/views of people in this thread. Makes the show that much more entertaining, and I actually learn different ways of looking at situations.

I don't think you paid attention to Shane. He CLEARLY stated to Lori he doesn't care about anyone else in the group and will do anything necessary for Lori and Carl to survive. He's just rationalizing the Otis situation. The man is a ******* and it's going to become more and more clear if you haven't seen that.
Of course, if it came down to him or Lori and Carl, he'd sacrifice them in a heartbeat.

Great points, Oneye. But you do know that Shane was about to off Rick in the woods over a chick right?
I kinda think he would probaly do the same thing for a burrito. A really good, last one possibly on earth burrito, but still.
I could go for a burrito. Is it too late for a burrito?! No? Good.

Shane is 100% the only reason I continue to watch this show. Well him and Darryl.

^ Really?! What about the parallels between Rick and Captain America?! I am shocked and appaled, Steven Rogers. Shocked and appaled I tell you.
Good Day To You Sir.
Go on......:lolI am not saying that I despise rick nor anything near it. I just think they make him out to be way to softhearted and weak in a world that a person really can't afford to be weak and softhearted. I actually agree with a lot of Shanes choices and thoughts even if I don't always agree with the actions he takes to see them through.

Well, I must have been draining my "Little Willie" and missed that dialogue about not caring about anyone else in the group. As for the rest, we'll just agree to disagree.
Yeah, I saw that. Shane was just practicing sight alignment/sight picture. j/k However, he did think it, but didn't do it. Haven't we all kind of done that in one way or another? He just thought it over a bit longer and with the tools he could use. Shane is really loyal to Rick. I really don't think he would kill him, but leave the group is certainly possible. Being killed "accidentally" by someone in the group, also possible, however, I could see Dale setting him up for disaster, sabotage his weapon, something. If I was Shane, I'd have one eye on the Walkers, the other eye on Dale.

EXACTLY! Finally, someone else who gets what I'm saying about Shane. He's THAT kind of dangerous. Shane is too dangerous and is becoming a threat to the group. That's why Dale tried to hide the guns, because when Shane finally does turn on the group, he's got access to guns he could clearly take away from the group and use against them. Probably not 100% the best idea to hide the guns the way he was going to, but would you honestly allow Shane the ability to potentially turn the guns against you?

I think Dale is stupid to try and hide the means of protection for most of the group. Shane is in the best shape out of that group. As a former police officer he could very likely have the best combat training as well. He's aggressive, crazy, and sneaky. Dale is the one person who seems to know that.
Anyone who has to take on Shane is going to need an equalizer; so to me hiding the firearms is an incredibly foolish move. Not to mention what if a horde of zombies show up?
I agree that Shane with a gun is a dangerous thing. However, one Shane with a gun is more reasonable to me than nobody with guns. If I was in that situation Dale and I would be having words because of his constant taking 'initiative' to force the group to do things he wants them to do. He takes Andrea's gun/property because -he- doesn't trust her not to take her own life. He lies about the water hose on the RV because -he- doesn't trust the group not to leave Sophia. He hides the guns because -he- doesn't trust Shane with them. He doesn't fess up to these things until he's caught/called out.
In my opinion Dale is no less dangerous than Shane but for different reasons. He's sneaky. He's arbitrary. He sees no reason to actually voice his concerns to the group but instead makes decisions for them.

Guns are not going to stop someone from coming after and doing you in. The hiding the guns thing was silly and as mentioned, only done to get the two separate from the group. But of course as someone already stated I know nothing of writing or such.
Remember when I said Rick is holding back and ready to snap? I also said Rick and Shane are the same person but each has separate ways they go about acting upon instinct and whats right vs whats acceptable. Rick over thinks and rationalizes to the point he hesitates when he should just pull the trigger. Shane is the opposite. While were there, why either of them want a bitchy overly dramatic wife/girlfriend is beyond me. Think I figured out why Rick wants to keep searching for Sophia and probly still will even after shes dead, his wife, what a downer that chick is.

I agree. They have nearly the same background also. I haven't read the comic so I can't comment on how they were written there but as far as the show goes I think the viewer is supposed to take away the notion that everyone reacts differently to the same situation.
Honestly I totally see where Shane is coming from in regards to the world, and Rick not being more proactive. I don't agree with his execution of things but I don't know how I would be in that situation.
I do know that if I was Rick I would be looking for the best means to protect my wife and staying in a place with a barn full of Walkers is a bad idea. Humans always have accidents trying to control the difficult to control and that just gets worse with with complacency which that farm would breed after a while.

So what does everyone think happens next?
Group moves on, some of the farm residents with them (i.e. Maggy)?
Glenn stays on the farm?
Farmer H has a heart attack and becomes a walker?
They all gather in a circle, holding hands, encircling the dispatched Walkers, singing "Another one bites the dust"?

^They will be leaving. Soemthing will happen. In the preview for the next half of the season, Hershel told them to get off his land, then he leaves, Rick says he is going after him. So, I am sure something will happen to get them moving on.
I am hoping we see them reach a very interesting location that has some interesting happenings in the comic. Which if things keep progressing like they are, we should see in season 3.
I would love to see them holding hands in a circle singing another one bites the dust though. Maybe the JYD will come out of nowhere as a zombie too. (For you old school WWF fans).

JYD used to have the chain around his neck. Maybe he could be one of the zombie Michonne carts around with her...
