Yeah his ending was ridiculous. I don't want to post any spoilers for those that have yet to watch the show but he wasn't supposed to die that way. That role belong to someone else based on the comic. Actor Scott Wilson didn't deserve to die that way. I met him at the comic con this past fall along with Seth G (he plays Priest Gabriel). Very nice guy.

Second thought I do miss Shane as well however I never had high expectations for him because we all knew he wasn't going to last long. Matter of fact Shane lasted longer than he was supposed to in the TV show. If the story was to duplicate the comic then he would have never gotten out of season 1 so seeing him in season 2 especially being part of the farmhouse story was a bonus and actor (Jon B) did an outstanding job.

I mention Merle because he (along with his brother Daryl) were created exclusively for the tv show. They could have last forever on the show if AMC allow it. No one knew when Merle was going to die and it's why everyone is wondering when Daryl will die.

I think the show kind of lost its identity along the road and its currently unbalance. What's mess up right now is that there are characters currently alive on the show that should have been killed off a long time ago and there are characters that were killed off in the show but never killed off in the comic. Too many role reversals. It's mess up I know.

I would think if you've read the comics the fact that the television series has taken an alternate path would make it more interesting. What's the fun in knowing everything that will come to pass?

Yes, that's true however I believe there are other reasons that played a role with the show such as limiting the violence on cable television, characters too violence to be on TV etc. Who would want to see Dale & Andrea sexual relationship on TV??

I do read the comic and IMO the show would be far better if it didn't stray so far from it.

Canceled it, like all the other GG tWD pieces. Lost interest in them. Takes waaaay to long for them to be released. Maybe some day I will pick up some at the local shop.

That is awesome. I'd love to meet him for an autograph. I really like his character.

If GG did a statue of him, I would get it.

Agreed. I think it would be too boring if they followed each other too much. Why have the TV show if you can see everything that happens in the comic?

Feel the same way about Abraham. I met Michael Cudlitz and get his autograph a few months ago, very good guy. I hope he is around for a while and GG makes a 1/4 piece of him.
