Okay, so I just finished the 2nd season...........glad to see what happened to Shane. But why did Rick randomly become a total douche? They get rid of one douche and have to immediately replace him with another?
The only thing he's been trying to do since waking up and reuniting is keeping everyone alive, everyone is always dogging and second guessing him for it and then his own wife plants seeds on his mind to kill Shane and it's repulsed when he does so?! I'd be a fuckin' douche too!
Hey, I still like the guy. It just seemed like a pretty quick change from "We're all in this together" to "GOD DAMNIT I AM KING OF ZOMBIELAND ALL OF YOU SHALL DO MY BIDDING!"
Yeah,the only real problem with the Ricktatorship is that we never actually see it happen. I mean, there's a scene at the end of season 2 that definitely implies it's coming. But then the show apparently skips ahead like 8 months, and we never see it develop. That kinda stings, considering we're used to seeing Rick in contrast to Shane.
I thought Rick had turned into Shane, but not really. Not after last night. Shane was wild, unpredictable, selfish. Rick is none of those things. He's just rational and cold. He's emotionally turned off. Lori's baby is a good excuse for stopping to camp out in the prison, but you've gotta wonder if Rick plans on ever leaving. I can't imagine a character like him having any sort of hope for the future and where they're going; I find it way more likely that he's going to try and just fortify the group in the prison as long as possible, with survival alone being the only key goal.
