I don’t know where all the Shane hate comes from. Ok, I guess I do but he’s still saved a lot more lives than anyone else.

I agree that is how it worked out, but the initial appearance of two Not in the Comic characters who are both bigots screamed throw away bad guys to me. Almost like an easy route for the writers. “How do we make it ok for Rick and the audience to both hate these characters almost instantly? Answer; make them a racist.”
Now at this point Daryl is MVP of the group and has done a fair job of adapting his us vs them attitude to be us = the group, them = the walkers to the point of saving T-Dawg multiple times and Shane has done enough dirt that a convincing argument could be made that Merle, the methed out bigot who was shooting from the roof and attracting zombies, is the lesser of two evils.

Until Rick killed the little girl (can’t remember her name), Shane was the only one showing he knew how to handle life in a zombie apocalypse.

Did you watch the latest episode?

Yeah, Rick is back in my good graces after killing the two guys in the bar.
He is showing he has what it takes to be a leader.
(Sorry if I sound like a dork, but after reading Max Brooks “Zombie Survival Guide”, I analyze all behavior based on that)

Is that better than World War Z? I read it and it was pretty good, but Not enough substance in my eyes.
Zombie Survival Guide was good, written to appear serious, with a good dose of humor here and there. Tons of great information even if you don’t ever have to endure a zombie apocalypse.
You didn’t like World War Z?
My wife was upset and didn’t think the Class 4 outbreak was plausible with slower moving zombies. I personally enjoyed the book but thought the ending left something to be desired.
We are fans of “28 days later” zombies (although not zombies in a purist sense since they are alive, not living-dead) that can move faster, more plausible for massive outbreaks.

WWZ was okay just not what I was expecting I guess. I love this so I guess that kind of messed me up, http://adriansundeaddiary.com/
The wife and I enjoyed 28 days, also the crazies.

I enjoy the aspect of the story from the 1st person perspective and the survivalist parts. WWZ was more like a news commentary, just not personal enough for me I guess.

I can understand that. May have to check out AUD sometime in depth. Thanks for the link.

I he saves my life (albeit inadvertently) and the lives of my wife and son, I would call it even, as Rick seems to have.

I remember Meryl dropping N-bombs and talking about ‘your kind’ to T-Dawg, but what did Daryl do that was racist? I honestly can’t remember. The SS chopper he’s been ridding around on is Meryl’s, not Daryl’s.
I think Daryl’s attitude is really a ‘Me vs the World’ one that he developed growing up with family like Meryl. I think the group is turning into the family he never had, which is why he’s warming up to them and why he took Sophia’s death so hard.

I figured he connected with Sophia since he probably also had a dad that could care less about her and beat her and her mom.
For Christine.
Enjoy while you can. No way this dude sees the end of the season.
