Let’s see, last week Shane killed Randell, Rick killed Shane, Shane rose without being bit, Carl killed Shane a 2nd time, and a horde of zombies were approaching the farmhouse. Oh, and Daryl & Glenn are still out in the woods. I’m 99% sure I got the title right this week. ---

Season Finale already? Too bad, but at least that means _Mad Men_ is coming back soon! ---

Who will live? Who will die? Who will finally admit they’re gay? Which one will be voted off the [del]island[/del] farm? Will Walt “Heisenberg” White finally join the cast? We’ll learn all, except for most, of the above in just a few minutes… ---

Oh, that’s brillant Rick; set hte barn on fire while you and your son are trapped inside. And just when are we going to get to find out who’s been flying those damned helicopters. 😛 ---

Sigh. The aftermath will be interesting, but that battle sucked. Those were the slowest zombies ever! Hershel stood there like the Viking at Stamford Bridge mowing down zombies with a shotgun that held 5 rounds max and only stopped to reload when there was a dramatic excuse to do so. Andrea and Glenn were popping off head shots from a moving vehicle that was bouncing through a field. And why not? They’ve had 13 minutes of firearms training. I’m pretty sure Andrea dropped a couple walkers with gut shots. ---

Buh-whah? What the hell was Lori’s problem when she found out that Rick killed Shane and then Carl killed Zombie Shane? Carl wouldn’t have been there if Lori had kept him in the house like she was supposed to, and she practically asked Rick to kill Shane a couple of weeks ago. ---

Armless zombie minions! Holy hell! So, it ended with chopper-like music, and showing us Dracula’s Castle - is that where Ms. Armless Zombie Minions and her Armless Zombie Minions came from? ---

Wow, who was that saved Andrea?! And were those armless walkers also muzzled? Seems like they’d still make terrible pets. I don’t think Rick stressed enough that Shane had a gun on him and was mid-premeditated murder when Rick killed him. And Lori, she told Rick to kill Shane back when he was just being a general jerk, and now she is upset that he killed him in self defense? > [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > Armless zombie minions!
