Ruby’s thirteen. She sells newspapers for pennies. And she’s got The Green Hornet’s gun. Will Hornet and Kato find Ruby before the mob does…or can THE GREEN GUN GIRL save herself? The original Green Hornet in a super special tale from writer Nate Cosby (Cow Boy)!

The Green Hornet Year One Special is written by Nate Crosby and illustrated by Edu Menna. Marcelo Pinto handles colors while Marshall Dillon provides letters. This special features a story within a story, and the old style comic sequences are done by Evan Shaner. So is the Green Hornet Special really special or are you left feeling stung?

The story is a Green Hornet tale told through the perspective of a young girl named Ruby. Ruby is a thirteen year old who hocks newspapers on the street corners. The news isn’t great, but everyone wants to read what The Green Hornet is up to. The masked menace captivates the young and old alike with his exploits plastered on the front page of the Daily Sentinel. Ruby’s mind tends to wander as she imagines herself as a young sidekick of sorts to Hornet and Kato. While selling papers or sneaking into the home of her alcoholic father, Ruby fantasizes about a particular episode where only she can save the Hornet from the circus thug. When Ruby’s fantasy world comes into existence as Hornet and Kato try to stop thugs on her street, can Ruby be as cool and collected as she is in her dreams?

Crosby crafts a great and touching story. Having a young dreamer cross paths with their hero isn’t a new story, but the way Crosby weaves the imagined with the real keeps it fresh and interesting. There’s enough character development with Ruby and her world to keep the reader entertained while they wait for the inevitable appearance of The Green Hornet. Menna does an apt job with the comic. At times the art looks and feels a little rough, but the street level scenes come off really well. The old comic strip style of Ruby’s fantasies are handled brilliantly by Shaner. It looks like it was lifted straight form an old comic serial.  The way the page and words fade into the old style strip is fantastic.

Bottom Line: The Green Hornet Year One Special is truly that, special. With a touching story by Crosby and astounding old comic serial images, this book is one for Green Hornet fans new and old. With a different take on the dreamer meeting the hero angle, the script and art make something really fresh. Check this one out 4/5

Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell, Review: Green Hornet: Year One Special

Cheadle knows that expectations are extremely high for the first post-Avengers film, but it sounds like he and the cast are ready for the challenge:

I hope that it performs to those levels. We did a little piece of it at Comic-Con and people went crazy. It looked great. The script is good. We’re doing a couple re-shoots next week, but I’m encouraged.

Iron Man 2 was directed by Jon Favreau whereas 3 will be handled by the aforementioned Shane Black. Cheadle praises the new director saying he had a good time with a really good cast. He said the director came up with “an interesting script” that was “a lot of fun.” When asked how he would shake things up in Iron Man 3, the actor may have let a spoiler out of the bag:

I’m not supposed to say that he kills Robert Downey Jr.’s character.  Is that a spoiler?  That would be a spoiler.  You knew that was coming.  You read the comic books.  No.  I will just say that the buddy relationship that these guys have gets tighter.  The third act set piece for the big finale is bigger and badder.  It’s just a lot more.

OK that wasn’t really a spoiler. It would be an incredible shock though you have to admit. The actor did confirm what we had only heard rumors of, that some re-shoots will take place next week in Manhattan Beach. With the stills and clips we’ve seen from the film it does look like the Rhodes/Stark relationship will be explored even further than the second film. To read the rest of the interview where Cheadle talks about his TV show, production company, and family click right here. Everything he said about Iron Man 3 and the third act set piece being “bigger and badder” sounds incredibly promising. What do you think?

Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell, Don Cheadle Says Iron Man 3 Is “Bigger and Badder”

After a season with ups and downs, which included shocking events, The Walking Dead season two has reached an end, with a surprising appearance and great conflicts. SPOILERS Ahead!

The episode already starts explaining where those walkers we saw heading to Hershel farm came from, and to tell you the truth, it’s kind of a disappointing thing. They were still eating Rick’s horse from the first episode, and because of that helicopter, they headed to the exact same spot the group was heading to(At least, now we know where that horde of walkers that appeared on the highway at the first episode came from).

Ok moving on, the episode sets up a good scenario with the walkers attacking the Hershel farm and everyone trying to escape, after all, we had a slow pacing season, which had the group mostly going after Sophia, and sitting around the farm just talking. Some characters died, like Patricia and Jimmy, but well, it was necessary killing somebody, so the best to do was killing off two characters who were not bringing up too much for the story, specially Patricia, who after the death of Otis was just there helping the other women with domestic duties.

It is definitely the best episode of the season, as it gives the chance to each character to have their moment of glory, specially Carol, who after losing her child and suffering a lot, still verbally attacked Rick after everything he has done to save Sophia, saying every bad thing she could, and acting thankless, but well, she had her moment, which was needed after a long time without any chances.

We also saw how important Hershel became to the group, being like the second voice of reason there (Dale was and always will be the first guys) after losing his faith with god post barn incident with the Walkers, he mostly said the exactly good and smart words for Rick at the end of the episode.

With all this going on, there was still time to see a beloved character from the comics making her debut on the show, that’s right my friends, the badass Michonne made her appearance in the last ten minutes of the episode, saving Andrea from a walker in the woods.

It was not only totally unexpected, despite the rumors that were around the internet months ago suggesting her debut, but also was better writen and thought then in the comics, where she comes from nowhere during the middle of the Prison Arc (by the way, nice touch introducing the Prison in the last seconds AMC, really got me pumped).

Taking all that, and now giving final considerations, “Beside the Dying Fire” is the best episode of the second season of AMC The Walking Dead, it gives time to all the characters to shine, have great conflicts between them, and introduces one of the best characters from the mythology into the series, now we have to wait until the fall of this year to see what happens next.

Lucas Silva M., REVIEW: THE WALKING DEAD S2E13: Beside the Dying Fire [SPOILERS]

So we all know what happened last episode, if you follow the comic books is not a really a shocker, but for those who are not familiar with the comics it is.

Well the cat is out of the bag, Shane Walsh finally died. I really liked Jon Bernthal‘s portrayal of Shane, he is a great actor and he will be missed in the show. I know a lot of you guys hated him, but come on he was a survivor.

Ok, lets get some spoilers.

………………………………………..

CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick‘s horse, or what’s left of it, when they’re startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane’s murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.

As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it’s not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn. Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns.

The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight. Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time.

Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her.

Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl’s motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we’re not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can’t continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her.

Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn’t turn around and go back to the highway.

A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane – dead
Andrea – missing
Patricia – taken by the walkers
Jimmy – splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can’t keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path.

The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together. The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them.

Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn’t just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl’s role in Shane’s death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can’t carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo — she bashes in a walker’s head with it — now she’s down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control… he says they’re not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn’t a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.

You still here?………

Ok….

Here we go….

Hershel finally allows everybody to move into the house. Rick decides to let Randall loose instead of killing him, just like they had originally planned. Shane gets all mad at the idea, but Rick says it’s his decision and Shane needs to shut up. Later, Carl reveals to Shane that he messed and stole Daryl’s gun as well as released that walker from the swamp, but asks him not to tell anyone. While Shane is building a lookout platform, Lori comes to talk to him. She thanks him for everything he had done (saving them from Atlanta, etc.) and says she’s truly sorry for all the crap that happened between them.

Shane asks Rick that he and Daryl be allowed to go dump Randall, but Rick refuses. Shane then tells Rick about what Carl did and gives him Daryl’s gun. Rick has a talk with his son and basically tells him to grow up. Meanwhile, Shane sneaks into the shed and releases Randall. They secretly leave the farm and take off into the woods together. Shane tells the kid that he wants to join their group and asks Randall where it is. He tells Shane that they have a camp on a highway five miles away. Shane then proceeds to snap his neck.

The group discovers that Randall is gone and gets all panicked. Suddenly, a bloody Shane appears. He says that Randall knocked him out and escaped ( He faked the injury! He actually smashed his head into a tree after killing Randall) and that he tried to run after him. Two pairs head out to look for Randall: Glenn & Daryl and Rick & Shane. Daryl uses his epic tracking skills to deduce that Randall and Shane actually walked together and had a scuffle near the tree with Shane’s blood on it. Then, a zombie-Randall appears. Daryl misses with his crossbow, there’s a fight, Glenn takes out Randall. Daryl deduces that Randall was killed by a broken neck and zombified in spite of having no bite marks.

Shane and Rick meanwhile arrive on a field. Rick tells Shane that he knows Shane plans to kill him there. Shane plans to pin the murder on Randall and says he’s better for Lori and that Rick has no idea how to fix the situation. Shane wants Rick to raise his gun so he wouldn’t have to kill an unarmed man. Rick talks him out of the murder, telling him that there’s still a way out of it. As Shane is lowering his gun, Rick stabs him in the chest, killing him. Carl appears, having left the farm looking for them, and sees Shane rising from the dead while Rick’s back is turned. He shoots Shane in the head, attracting a nearby group of walkers. Rick and Carl stand over Shane’s corpse, oblivious to the huge horde of walkers approaching the farm from the woods.

Lori starts a dramatic war in Better Angels where she tries to convince Rick to kill Shane. Rick thinks about it but shrugs it off. After Lori sees that Rick is still not acting, she has a talk with Shane and puts into his head that if Rick wasn’t around they would still be together. This makes Shane change AGAIN, (he had finally made peace and Lori [frick]s him up again). Lori warns Rick that Shane will probably attempt to kill him, Rick denies it and says they’ve made peace. Anyway Shane decides to kill Rick and lures him into the forest chasing after Randall. Of course Rick isn’t stupid he realizes nothing is adding up and tries to give Shane a chance to abandon his plans. Believe it or not Rick loves Shane like a brother, anyway he finally calls Shane on it and says he knows what he’s trying to do.

So it starts with Rick standing off with Shane, they’re kinda on plain land I guess outside the barn (I mean far from it, like just outside a forest, and it’s moonlight). Rick says something like “so this is where you planned to do it”.

Shane says something I can’t quite make out, I think he was acting oblivious and playing stupid because Rick says something like “at least have the balls to call this what it is….murder” so I can assume that Shane was playing dumb.

Rick circles Shane talking about how you think if you go back to the farm alone they’ll believe whatever [frick]ing story you cooked up (not exact quote, cept the [frick]ing part) and Shane tells him to hush up and the group will believe him.

Rick doesn’t buy a word that Shane says.

Shane finally admits “it ain’t goin to be easy, but Lori and Carl will get over you” and you can tell by the look on Rick’s face that he’s starting to lose his patience. Shane adds “they done it before, they just gone have to” and pulls out his gun to aim at Rick’s face. Rick asks why? Why now? He then says “I thought we tried to work this out”. Shane laughs and says “we tried to kill each other!” (referring to the fight in 18 Miles Out) with his gun still on Rick.

Shane continues to mock by saying “ya think we’re just gonna forget about it and run into the sunset together?” Rick asks him “are you gonna kill me in cold blood? Screw my wife? Have my children… my children! Call you daddy? Is that what you want?”

Shane talks about how Rick has no idea what he had to, and still has to live with. Shane dares Rick to raise his gun, but Rick refuses. Shane taunts him by saying “what happened Rick, I thought you said you weren’t the good guy anymore?” He continues to mock, saying that he’s a better father than Rick and that he’s better for Lori than Rick because he’s a better man than Rick and he’ll actually fight for Lori (the stuff that Rick basically told him in ’18 Miles Out’ Shane is twisting his words against him, and this pisses off Rick.)

Shane says that Rick came back and destroyed everything. Pause. He continues by saying Rick has a broken wife and a weak boy. He also adds that Rick doesn’t even know how to fix it, he then pushes his gun closer to Rick and tells him to raise his gun.

Rick asks are you gonna shoot an unarmed man? Rick slowly goes for his gun and then pulls it out as if to drop it. Shane keeps his gun trained on Rick. Rick tries to negotiate saying “there’s a way back from this, nothing happened here, we gonna lay down our guns and walk back to the farm.”

Shane looks conflicted, not knowing that Rick has drawn his knife (the one you see him use in ’18 Miles Out’), finally when Shane doesn’t expect it, Rick lunges his knife into Shane’s chest.

Shane comes back as a zombie – Carl shoots him.

In the episode Better Angels Shane’s death answers a few question and raises a few more. The popular theory that Dr. Jenner whispered to Rick that all are infected and death is another catalyst to being a Walker. Bites are not the only reason. That theory can be easily shot down as Better Angels is brought to a close

If Rick knew death was a catalyst he would have not only stabbed Shane, he would have shot him in the head.

18 Miles out teased the audience with the idea that scratches are not reason that brings out Walkers.

THOUGHTS????

Agent Burgos, The Walking Dead: Better Angels MASSIVE SPOILERS

You’re still here, so you want to see it. Well the AMC Shop uploaded the pre-order option for the DVD set and included some information about the features. It reads: “including bonus features such as: the making of the barn, an extended zombie gut scene, Shane‘s last episode, full Comic Con coverage with panel…”

As you can read, the Comic Con stuff is the spoiler, no of course it’s the bit about Shane! Now speculation has it that Jon Bernthal would be leaving to work on Frank Darabont‘s new TNT show, L.A. Noire. Now that may not be the case since Shane also bites it in the comics, but all signs point to Shane being gone very soon. Also, The Hollywood Reporter got a screengrab from the shop, the posting has since been taken down and The Hollywood Reporter got this comment from an AMC spokesman:

The post on the AMC store was completely unauthorized. The matter is currently under investigation.

Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comic series, and executive producer on the show has dropped some subtle hints about Rick and Shane’s “epic” standoff while talking to MTV:

“In the very next episode, we’re going to see some explosive interactions between those two men, we’ve been building to quite a bit of stuff this entire season, and it’s all coming to a head. The fact that Lori’s pregnant and nobody knows who the father is, these two are constantly butting heads over leadership and what’s best for the group… it’s really putting Rick and Shane at an impasse.”

“In our episode on Sunday, I’m not trying to say they’re going to come to blows… but they’re going to come to blows, It’s going to be a pretty epic episode. I’m really excited for people to see it.”

Episode 9: “Triggerfinger”

Episode starts as a walker is trying to reach an unconscious Lori in the crashed car. Lori regains consciousness, screams, cue theme music.

Back at the bar, a car suddenly appears as Rick and the others prepare to leave. Three guys arrive looking for their two lost friends who Rick gunned down in the previous episode. Rick, Glenn and Hershel are pinned down at the bar, so they try to shout to the newcomers that the two assholes shot first. They don’t believe that shit and a shootout ensues.

Meanwhile, Lori, who is completely uninjured, manages to kill a pair of walkers who attempt to break into the wrecked car. In the farm, everybody just now realizes that Lori is missing and Shane goes out looking for her. He finds her wandering on the road and tells her that Rick & Co. are already back in order to get her to return to the farm.

Glenn eventually makes a run for the car and Hershel covers him, shooting one of their attackers. Walkers appear and proceed to devour the wounded shooter. The remaining two decide to get the hell out of there, but one of them accidentally impales his leg on a fence when jumping off a roof. The other guy leaves him there and drives off. Rick, Glenn and Hershel manage to pry the jumper loose while fighting off walkers. Everybody gets in the car and they drive away.

Arriving at the farm, Lori discovers that Shane lied and the others aren’t really back yet. They have a private talk and Lori tells Shane to get over her. Shane obviously doesn’t. Rick returns with their captive (Randall) and everybody has a discussion about what to do with the guy. They decide to drive him a short distance away, blindfolded, and just dump him there (plot of next episode).

Also, Glenn acts all depressed back at the farm because he froze during the shootout and now believes he’s a coward. In the final scene, Lori tells Rick that Shane likely killed Otis, that he’s dangerous, and that he won’t stop unless Rick does something about it.

End episode.

Claiming to be part of the production team of The Walking Dead, one of the Roamers and Lurkers forum members recently published an overview as what we can possible see happen with Shane when the second season comes back on Feb. 12 in the U.S..

“Shane will not reach the end of the season. Lori tells him that if Rick was not around, they [Shane and Lori] could still be together. [...] With the excuse that someone, who will be introduced in the episode ‘Nebraska‘, was lost in the forest, Shane leads Rick to a deserted area, with the intention of killing him. ”

“Realizing Shane’s intentions, Rick begins to try to dissuade him from his plan while slowly picking up a knife, killing his friend before Shane can kill him.”

Even if it is all just rumors, it looks like the fate of Shane will be the same as in the comic series. Still, nothing was officially confirmed by the AMC.

The Walking Dead returns to U.S. TV screens on February 12.

Episode 8: “Nebraska”

The episode starts at the exact same spot the previous one left off. One of the walkers who got shot (the stepmom) tries to grab Beth (Hershel’s youngest daughter), but is killed by Andrea with a swift hoe through the head. Shane shouts some more and Hershel tells the group to “LEAVE MY FARM!” for the umpteenth time. Maggie finally slaps Shane right in the face and things cool down somewhat.

Sophia is buried along with Hershel’s dead family members from the barn. T-Dog, Andrea, and Shane pile the other corpses on a truck, drive to a nearby field and burn the bodies in a pyre. Hershel has something of a mental breakdown as he slips out of the farm and goes to a bar in the town to get shitfaced. Beth goes into catatonic shock from the ordeal at the barn, so Rick and Glenn head to town in order to bring Hershel back.

Meanwhile, Dale tells a skeptical Lori about his suspicions that Shane killed Otis and his belief that Shane will sooner or later kill someone else. Daryl snaps and shouts at Lori when asked to bring Rick and Hershel home quicker, stating he’s “done looking for people”. Lori heads out by herself, hits a random walker on the way and flips the car into a ditch. It’s not shown what happened to her. That’s the second (and the last) actual walker we see in the episode.

Glenn and Rick find Hershel in the bar. After a five-minute rant by a drunk Hershel, two dudes (Tony and Dave) enter the bar. They are bad guys. They inform Glenn, Rick, and Hershel that Fort Benning is overrun and they’re heading for Nebraska, which is supposedly safe. “Low population, lots of guns,” as they put it.

The two quickly deduce that Rick and company must have a farm nearby and want to go there because “they’ve got people to look out for”. “That’s not gonna happen,” says Rick. There’s a tense situation, since both guys are armed and threaten to take the farm by force. This culminates with a Clint Eastwood-style gun draw and Rick shoots both guys dead. The scene then cuts to bodies of walkers burning in the pyre. End episode.

Agent Burgos, Possible MEGA SPOILERS: The Walking Dead Episode 8 Nebraska

Well fellas even though I read the spoiler as im sure some of you did, I was still a little shocked, and let me explain why.

I was not shocked by the ending because I already knew what was going to happen (duh), I was shocked by the brilliant performance of Jon Bernthal (Shane), WOW! I must admit I  hate what he did to Otis and how he has been losing his cool and falling to the dark side, but man that guy has done an amazing job. I get it, maybe you are not suppose to like his character, but that guy is a survivor and he has been doing what is necessary  to survive ( in his mind).

The way this episode was written and directed was a true piece of work, and  I would say this is one of my favorite episodes so far. The tension, the arguments, the  look in Hershel’s eyes as he was witnessing what was going on  ( dont want to spoil it too much) was perfect.  We can’t argue that Hershel has good intentions, and is trying not to lose hope and so far he has been reasonable, but we know bad things were going  to happen sooner or later.

Now one of the things that got me thinking was the fact that Rick ( Andrew Lincoln) looks like he is losing the grip on Shane. What does this mean for the group? How is it going to affect the way everyone sees Rick? Is Shane a threat to the group? What are his true intentions?  And dont get me started with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). I would love to see Shane and Daryl go at it, i think it would be a very interesting match, right?

Now sadly the show will resume on February and to me that is a long wait, but you know what? We are going to see Robert Kirkman at the Amazing Arizona Comic Con this January! Maybe you can write some questions for him in our comments section and we can ask him!

Sound off peoples!

Agent Burgos, Remember That Spoiler From The Walking Dead?

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

ohmygodjohntravolta  submitted the following spoiler:

The Walking Dead Episode 7: “Pretty Much Dead Already”

Episode opens with Glenn revealing the presence of the walkers to the rest of the group, who promptly proceed to freak out. Maggie becomes angry with Glenn for not keeping the secret and ruins his hat in retribution. Dale gives Glenn his trademark bucket hat as a replacement. Maggie later makes a plea to Hershel for the group to stay.

She and Glenn also have an argument about the walkers, after which they eventually admit their feelings, kiss and make up. Rick and Hershel argue, with Hershel demanding the group leave within a week. Rick uses the my-wife-is-pregnant card, but Hershel’s not persuaded. Shane also wants the group to get the hell out of there because of the walkers in the barn, but Rick uses the same excuse to cool him down.

However, Shane then becomes convinced that Lori’s baby is his. Dale takes off with Shane’s guns to hide them in the swamp. Shane tracks him down and demands he give the guns back. Dale points his rifle at him and threatens to shoot. However, he backs down at the last moment, since he has no wish to become like Shane: he reveals that he knows Shane shot Otis and lied about what really happened.

Shane heads back to the farm with the guns. Hershel has Rick help him and Jimmy try to fish some walkers out of a nearby pit of quicksand and lead them into the barn with snare poles. He says the group can stay on the farm if they agree not to kill the walkers. They arrive at the farm about the same time Shane emerges from the swamp and hands out guns to other members of the group… Shane sees the snared walkers and goes berserk. He yells at Rick and Hershel as they guide the walkers towards the barn, with the rest of the group and people in the farm looking on.

He pulls his sidearm and unloads it in the chest of one of the walkers, demanding to know “Could someone who’s alive just take that? Why is it still coming?” Hershel has no answer. He finishes off the walker with a headshot, grabs a nearby pickaxe and breaks open the barn door. Walkers pour out, T-Dog, Daryl, Shane, Glenn, and Andrea form a line and open fire. Once the dust clears, one more walker emerges. Sophia. Rick finally steps up next to the others, pulls his six-shooter and kills Sophia with a shot to the head. End episode.

Nah, but seriously I always thought that that happened to that poor girl, that eventually they were going to find her and she was going to be a zombie. Totally different from The Walking Dead comic book I’ll tell you that. Now what about  Merle Dixon? Well we know Daryl has been hallucinating about him, but will we see him come back in real life? That my friends is another story and i will share it with you some other time muahahaha.

In the meantime share your thoughts below.

 UPDATED WITH INCREDIBLE SPOILERIFIC PIC!!

Well it seems like the spoilers were true! Wowser! Although she looks a little older, and is probably a different actress, oh well… Thoughts?

Agent Burgos, The Walking Dead: Episode 7 MEGA SPOILERS!! UPDATED With Picture!

THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

So Glen and Dale know about the barn and its little dirty secret, and what a secret that is, but Hershel is very adamant about his decision to have his “family members” in the barn. I mean it is his barn and they do need to respect that, but again Herhsel has been disconnected from the real world so he doesn’t know any better.  Lori being regnant is nothing new, but Dale and Rick have found out and  wow was Rick pissed at the fact that Lori wanted an abortion. One of the things that surprised me is that Lori tells Rick that she slept with Shane. Rick is not super happy about this, but he understands. In the comic book it was a little different because  Lori didn’t tell Rick that she slept with Shane, I mean  Rick is not stupid.

Anyways Shane and Andrea got too close and personal, and yes ladies it was her fault hehe. Anyways,  check out this clip from the upcoming The Walking Dead mid season finale:

Hershel sets a deadline. All secrets are out in the open. Glenn stands up for himself and Shane takes charge.

In case you cant see the video in your location here is the low-res version:

Well, Rick has some begging to do right? What are your thoughts?

Oh and just so you know ,we will be talking to Robert Kirkman and some of the cast of The Walking Dead TV show in January at the Amazing Arizona Con 2012!

Stay tuned!
