Reminder: Dan has said he doesn't want people talking about character arcs, the future, even things that don't happen because it changes how he thinks about characters and situations... Talking about character arcs, even if you don't say what the arc is or how long it lasts, is a spoiler. Even little hints, when combined with other little hints, can become big spoilers.
This is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. It was so heartbreaking seeing Sofia walk out of the barn and Daryl having to hold Carol back. The expression on Rick's face when he put Sofia down was so powerful. The acting in this show is amazing.
The part in this episode that wasn't shown in this cut (yes I know I'm a year late, I'm just finding Dan) is Glenn turning to Maggie before joining in. Glenn saying her name and she gives him the go ahead
Sophia's appearance was a shock that fans still remember to this day, and once again it was Rick who had to do the hard work while everyone else, including Shane, stood frozen.
Give me a break. Shane did the hard work. Putting her down was easy work and it was Rick because that makes a more palatable ending to the episode. No other reason.
The Walking Dead is my favorite TV show of all time.This episode is in my top favorites, maybe even the top. I really enjoy your critical thinking and personal investment of these characters. You are a joy to watch. P.s. if you would like to know about your "reach" of people....I'm a 76 year old women. God bless and glad you are feeling better.
That final scene gets me every time. Kudos for realizing that Otis was probably the one who put walker Sophia in the barn. So many reactors miss that bit of dialogue about Otis having been the one who handled the walkers and assume Hershel and his family knew she was there the whole time. Also, even knowing Sophia was already dead, I still disagree with Shane. You can't give up that soon on a lost child. Plus, as you so aptly pointed out, if it had been Carl missing, he would have had a completely different reaction. He'd have been the one pushing to keep looking, no matter what. My heart breaks for Carol. Thank goodness Daryl was there and reacted quickly enough to stop her from getting to Sophia. And Rick was feeling all kinds of guilt, but he didn't hesitate to step up and do what needed to be done when all of the others, including Shane, were frozen in shock. This episode remains in my list of best episodes of the series.
I will say it again Dan, you are probably thee best reactionist I've found on TH-cam. I get so overly invested in shows as well, and it's pretty awesome to see your thoughts on this walking dead adventure. I hope you continue to watch it and react.
Dan, you made a great point that Ive never heard before, that if Carl were lost, Shane would never leave. Great point and it shows the clear difference between him and Rick. Rick genuinely cares about all the group, and Shane only pretends to. You talked about character archs, well 11 seasons is all about that. There are some mind blowing archs in this show man, and its gold. It biggest of them is, well your just going to have to see when we get there.
Daniel, I just have to say: your "whuuuhh" sound of surprise tickles me every time xD (American here) But fr tho, your insights into people really shines through your commentary and its genuinely wonderful to experience as a viewer :3 keep enjoying this wonderfully traumatic show! I'm gonna be here for every second 😁
Thank you, Daniel... and believe me, I'm pretty sure we all got a bit angry at Shane! With the drama and Bear McReary's heartbreaking score, that final scene always moves me to tears - and I've seen it umpteen times! The acting is on point from all the ensemble cast and it just builds to the devastating climax. I think I saw you fighting back tears, too... but my eyes were a little watery so it was hard to tell for sure! Great reaction, again, man! Keep up the good work!
Hey Dan! Thank you for your bonus reaction today. Trust me we all appreciate your dedication to providing us with incredible reactions and your thoughts on each episode! This was a tough one to unpack for sure. From Shane seemingly wanting to be the one in charge, and being unwilling to accept any one else’s thoughts. To the upsetting death of a beloved character. Though Sophia wasn’t shown in the show for too long, it was still so significant because how many people were hopeful she would be found. This episode really pulls on your heart strings for sure! Great reaction, always love watching and getting to unpack your reactions! Have a great day/night!! :)
Yay! Ty for this. Hope you are feeling better. Yes, Shane is all about Lori and Carl. And doesn't care about anyone else. Some people may agree with that. But why would anyone be willing to help him, once they figure out, he doesn't have their back. Like when Andrea was "stuck in the department store". Shane told Amy, "she is gone. We don't risk the group". She said "she volunteered". Next day, Rick goes back to rescue Merle. And he told Shane, "what he would or wouldn't do doesn't interest me. I can't do that. I can't leave a man die that way". That's the difference between Rick and Shane. And I don't like Shane because of that.
Absolutely heartwrenching, this episode still makes me cry just as hard as I did the first time watching it. I had so much hope for Sophia being alive just as much as Rick & Daryl. The writers were cruel for that one, speaking of cruel SHANE IS THE WORST. He's so unhinged and let me tell you he would be a terrible leader because he only cares about himself. People like to say he cares about Lori and Carl but I don't think that's true. I think he uses them to make him feel like he's the guy he's jealous of. He wants to be Rick so bad it's actually really scary & sad.
There are people that bend over backwards to justify Shane's actions then talk crap about Lori. She's not my favorite but I don't think she deserved all the hate she got from people.
This episode was is heartbreaking! When I saw Sophia walk out that barn I cried and also realized for the first time that no one is safe in this show! But as other people said here is that it is all "fun and games" when you kill walkers you don't know but when it's the real hard one to kill Rick steps up and does what is necessary!
3:10 I agree. When the group that saved rick in episode 2 got lost shane said they wouldn't risk anyone by going to help them or after that to get merl and same now with sophia were he wants to call of the search but when carl got shot he didn't hesitate to go and get suplise with Otis knowing it would be risky to go with just one other person to protect you. Also the moment they saw Sophia all of them acted like Hershel. 10 Second befor they were shooting at the walkers not even carring about saving amo (hitting them in the chest and all) but the moment they saw Sophia no one would shoot until Rick stepped forward. If it was such a big deal for them that Hershel didn't want to shoot his familie and neighbours they could have just left and looked for another similar isolated farm and make that one their own. Instead they tried to make his theirs and disrespected Hershels rules after he saved 3 of their peoples lifes (Carol, T-Dog and Daryl) and Otis "sacrificed" himself for them.
Hey bro another great reaction bro u are one of the only authentic people doing twd reactions cant wait to see more i like how fast they are coming out to keep up the great work
I feel like for a lot of people this was the episode that made the apocalypse in the walking dead so much more real. They had so much hope that she’d be alive, and were holding onto the morals and values of the previous world in trying to find her. But then there she was, evidently dead the entire time- l because if we consider the timeline she likely was placed there the day she went missing. The previous episode was honestly kind of a calm-before-the-storm sort of feel. Sophia’s death + Shane’s inability to care about anyone other than himself is a dynamic that’s bound to throw things out of order. Great reaction! Can’t wait until the next one :)
I could feel your emotion in this reaction, especially when you exclaimed how you feel about Rick. I am so excited to watch your journey with TWD!! 🧟♂️
I lost respect for Shane back when he touched Lori and she wasn’t consenting (at the CDC). It shows his true nature that he cares only about himself and disguises it as care for Lori and Carl. He is broken by the apocalypse and being rejected by Lori. 8:50 so true!!
I actually looked it up it is said that she was bit and ended up in the house Daryl found an she sleeps but wakes up in confusion and pain and walks to the creek Daryl found the doll and dies, and then the same day Otis shoots Carl he put her in the barn then went hunting
Herschel is dilutional about the state of the world with good social skills, Shane is a practical realist with poor social skills. Shane makes the right calls but goes about it in inefficient ways to get the ends he desires.
I commented a few videos ago that Shane is lost. This just demonstrated it. He really just doesn't know where to go in terms of going forward. He is just stuck in frustration and anger and that's it.
@@masked70 the decision was right but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
I’m 1 year late but I’m loving the reaction to the show and the discussion you have. I love how into the show you are now. I remember the first episode aired on Halloween in 2010. I was 13 at the time and it was really awesome to see a tv series about zombies. Before, all we had were movies. Also in my opinion, Rick shooting Sophia solidified him as the leader of the group. No one else could do the hard thing, but Rick.
Morality has always been a big part of this series. Change is also a big part of this series. Death is a big part of this series, with Sophia, this is TWD telling us anyone can die.
Great episode, great reaction! Dan, Im enjoying this so much. Tell us the truth, did ya edit out some tears? Inquiring minds want to know. 😀 I'm really also relueved that you have a moderator. Now I can stop worrying about you being spoiled.
I didn’t quite shed a tear! But I definitely felt my eyes swelling up! I’m sure the flood gates will burst eventually 😢😅 - yeah it’s great to have some moderators! Still being super cautious though.
Shane was the best in this episode. He's the wake up call of the group. I hated the writing of Sophia in this because she was one of THE MAIN CHARACTERS in the comics and I wish we got to see her character grow up with Carl, develop and become the badass she was in the comics.
I am VERY late to this reaction, but something that I haven’t noticed anyone point out is that RICK had to be the one to put Sophia down. For all of Shane’s screaming and machismo and bloodshed, he couldn’t bring himself to pull the trigger when Sophia walked out of the barn. RICK had to be the one to do it.
I'll say this only because I know Dan is a lot further along in the series, but if you watch this season you'll see that's not the first time Rick has had to do the heavy lifting. Shane would cause a stir and complain but never steps up when needed to do the REAL mentally hard things. We see as the series goes who ends up stepping up to take some of the weight off of Rick's shoulders, it ain't Shane. This is also a big thing that effects Rick's evolution. He cares for his ppl, and feels the weight of every choice he makes, every failure, every loss, he feels as a personal failure, another hard rock weighing on him. The phrase "heavy is the head that wears the crown" is very true in instances like this.
I agree practically. But morally not so much… but I guess that’s what the argument is. Being completely moral and delicate doesn’t necessarily protect us the way we need. But who knows of the consequences for being so rash!
It's pretty laughable that they allowed Hershel to maintain any power at all. As soon as they realized he was off his rocker they should have taken the farm by force. There's not a thing Hershel could have done to stop it. Hershel's decisions put them at risk from walkers and other human groups alike.
I'm going only to say this because it's different how people feel and view things BC they've their own perspective but: "There're things you will definitely realize more YEARS later when you come back to these episodes appreciating these chars, these moments more." Other than that, Enjoy TWD to all of it's moment ❤
I’m loving your reaction to the show! I agree I barely had respect for Shane but what he did this episode was unforgivable,unnecessary and angering. Like Rick said they had no idea about the barn and they’ve been there for it least 1 week already.
It's like only the fifth day since Rick got there, what if one day the walkers break out of the barn? Not only people in Rick's group but Hershel's family could get killed, so I don't think it's unforgivable and unnecessary, but yes, it's not Shane's call, he said either they kill them all or they should leave, after Rick and Carl told him the reasons why couldn't they leave, he did what he thought had to be done.
2:26 so maybe just don't like him?? like? i'm not trying to be rude but its so frustrating, seeing people spend so much time empathizing with Shane while neglecting other character's. even the practical, correct decisions he makes are done in the worst possible ways. he is the most prone to violence, murder, lying, and attempted rape in the group. he is LOSING HIS MIND. most of the other characters haven't even considered that shit. its been a couple months max in the apocalypse and he's ALREADY jumping to murder. we see in season 1 ep 1 the way he talks about women even before the apocolapse. aka "every other pair of boobs" the decision was right but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
At this point of the Story I liked Shane much more than Rick. Shane was the more interesting character. You could never know what He would do the next scene. Would gone wild? Or would He be nice? Rick was much more predictable and boring for me.
Thank goodness Shane did what he did otherwise they would have never found Sophia! They weren't just looking for her alive. They were also looking for her dead or her as a walker, but because Herschel was keeping this barn full of walkers they didn't even know to look there. Otis is dead because he shot Carl and then couldn't do the difficult thing and leave Shane behind to save Carl. If Otis had done what Shane asked him to do, when Shane told Otis to take the bags and leave him behind, he was still be alive.
If you have any thoughts of "really liking Shane" you clearly are not a great judge of character. It was subtle, but made very clear from the beginning that Shane only really cares about Shane. He will do the minimum to look good in the eyes of others, but will do anything that takes care of Shane (oh, and somebody else's family is something he believes helps take care of Shane). He was always a bad un. Getting really pissed off..... get used to it!
I disagree. If you never had conflicted thoughts about him, you may not have the mental capacity to handle a complex character in a tv show. I feel bad for anyone who thinks that way.
To me I don’t understand the dislike for Shane like I do get it but I feel like sometimes people don’t think about their hypothetical situations properly and I’ll and I will explain what I mean, the common argument is “Shane will get them kicked out!” Ok… how? if hershell is such a pacafist that won’t use guns and the group doesn’t want to leave how is hershell going to make them leave? By acting like Shane? The thing that is being argued is bad? Don’t get me wrong Shane ilhas done a lot of dick moves, which make him look insane whe he actually is speaking the truth people don’t want to hear! It’s the apocalypse there is no more “owning land” that just isn’t a thing if they don’t want to leave (why would they) and hershell can’t make them then they won’t, get what I’m saying?
Even if Hershel wasn't a pacifist, he didn't have the power to kick them out. Fact is they should have taken the farm by force as soon as they realized he had walkers in the barn and didn't tell them about it.
If you ask me, Shane has kept it under control for a long time because we've all broken up with people before, but we usually don't have to watch them be with other people. Shane is having to watch Lori and Rick be together. That's really hard. Now, she's possibly carrying his child?? Come on man, that's too hard.
the decision was right, the barn needed to be opened and the zombies needed to die. but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
With all due respect my bro with that mentality I don’t think you’d do that well in the apocalypse. Not everything’s about morals in the apocalypse. What Shane did actually woke up Hershel’s delusion about walkers being people which was better for him in the long run. Imagine living next to a barn full of flesh eating individuals who could eat you alive at night with something as simple as a strong wind breaking the barn open one night after walkers overfill. You won’t be mad at Shane’s method than lmao. Yeah Shane does things but most of what he did is better for survival. Everyone was so deluded in season 1 and 2 about survival
Reminder: Dan has said he doesn't want people talking about character arcs, the future, even things that don't happen because it changes how he thinks about characters and situations... Talking about character arcs, even if you don't say what the arc is or how long it lasts, is a spoiler. Even little hints, when combined with other little hints, can become big spoilers.
Kudos to Daryl. While everyone else was freaking out he had the presence of mind to drop his gun and grab Carol. He definitely saved her life.
This is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. It was so heartbreaking seeing Sofia walk out of the barn and Daryl having to hold Carol back. The expression on Rick's face when he put Sofia down was so powerful. The acting in this show is amazing.
Completely agree. Acting is fantastic. That scene hit so hard. I was properly holding back the tears!
As a mom I cried my eyes out I.. I just broke down
@@sweetsingingroses4618 it's a heavy scene for sure

Thanks for the bonus ep! Made my evening :)
This episode was epic! The scene when they all unload on the barn walkers 🤯
Rip Sophia
Best reveal ever
I could feel your emotion in this reaction, especially when you exclaimed how you feel about Rick. I am so excited to watch your journey with TWD!! 🧟♂️
I lost respect for Shane back when he touched Lori and she wasn’t consenting (at the CDC). It shows his true nature that he cares only about himself and disguises it as care for Lori and Carl. He is broken by the apocalypse and being rejected by Lori.
8:50 so true!!
False
Happy Saturday to you as well! Great reaction like always!
What a great heartfelt reaction. This episode was a really big one in he series and definitely made me cry. Carol's reaction was heartbreaking.
I heard a theory that Sophia came across the barn and climbed in not knowing there were walkers inside which I don’t know if I like
I actually looked it up it is said that she was bit and ended up in the house Daryl found an she sleeps but wakes up in confusion and pain and walks to the creek Daryl found the doll and dies, and then the same day Otis shoots Carl he put her in the barn then went hunting
Herschel is dilutional about the state of the world with good social skills, Shane is a practical realist with poor social skills. Shane makes the right calls but goes about it in inefficient ways to get the ends he desires.
They should have taken the farm by force long before it came to this. Herschel was not fit to lead anyone.
Great reaction!
I really like this episode. It's incredibly well done.
But boy, I can't wait for the next episode..
I commented a few videos ago that
Shane is lost. This just demonstrated it. He really just doesn't know where to go in terms of going forward. He is just stuck in frustration and anger and that's it.
He literally made the right decision to kill the walkers but ok
@@masked70 the decision was right but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
@@m1sslunatic803he still made the right calls most of the time. He made the right decisions just poor presentation
Hell yeah another vid. Loving it bro
When i seen this episode years ago i had tears because i hated shane so much.... But he was actually right with his call
It’s the practical most survivalist decision! But morally not the best on his part. That’s what makes my judgement of him so bloody complicated!!! XD
I’m 1 year late but I’m loving the reaction to the show and the discussion you have. I love how into the show you are now. I remember the first episode aired on Halloween in 2010.

Top 5 episode of the whole series
Morality has always been a big part of this series. Change is also a big part of this series. Death is a big part of this series, with Sophia, this is TWD telling us anyone can die.
You talking about your conflicting feelings about Shane is like listening to my friend talk about her ex boyfriend 😂❤
Another top tier reaction. This was one of the many gut punches this show gives you so get comfy 😜
Great reactions!
Notice how Shane “couldn’t make the hard choice” by putting Sophia down. He’s so full of shit.
He isn’t but ok. He didn’t put her down so what? He was right about the walkers in the barn and Sophia being gone
Great reaction Daniel. This show always has someone see both sides. Shane definitely lost it this episode
Great episode, great reaction! Dan, Im enjoying this so much. Tell us the truth, did ya edit out some tears? Inquiring minds want to know. 😀 I'm really also relueved that you have a moderator. Now I can stop worrying about you being spoiled.

Shane was the best in this episode. He's the wake up call of the group. I hated the writing of Sophia in this because she was one of THE MAIN CHARACTERS in the comics and I wish we got to see her character grow up with Carl, develop and become the badass she was in the comics.
The first real big shocking scene in the show. It won't be the last. Prepare yourself.

Shane was actually right this episode
I agree practically. But morally not so much… but I guess that’s what the argument is. Being completely moral and delicate doesn’t necessarily protect us the way we need. But who knows of the consequences for being so rash!
@@DanReaddI mean, the Greens were sure waisting a lot of chickens on those walkers!
He was right about what had to be done, but the way he did wasn't.
How people say lauri was bad when Andria was around.
the thing is that Shane is a realist... a realist with the hottest head in the universe and is quite the narcissist, but still...
It's pretty laughable that they allowed Hershel to maintain any power at all. As soon as they realized he was off his rocker they should have taken the farm by force. There's not a thing Hershel could have done to stop it. Hershel's decisions put them at risk from walkers and other human groups alike.
I'm going only to say this because it's different how people feel and view things BC they've their own perspective but: "There're things you will definitely realize more YEARS later when you come back to these episodes appreciating these chars, these moments more." Other than that, Enjoy TWD to all of it's moment ❤
I’m loving your reaction to the show! I agree I barely had respect for Shane but what he did this episode was unforgivable,unnecessary and angering. Like Rick said they had no idea about the barn and they’ve been there for it least 1 week already.
It's like only the fifth day since Rick got there, what if one day the walkers break out of the barn? Not only people in Rick's group but Hershel's family could get killed, so I don't think it's unforgivable and unnecessary, but yes, it's not Shane's call, he said either they kill them all or they should leave, after Rick and Carl told him the reasons why couldn't they leave, he did what he thought had to be done.
2:26 so maybe just don't like him?? like? i'm not trying to be rude but its so frustrating, seeing people spend so much time empathizing with Shane while neglecting other character's. even the practical, correct decisions he makes are done in the worst possible ways. he is the most prone to violence, murder, lying, and attempted rape in the group. he is LOSING HIS MIND. most of the other characters haven't even considered that shit. its been a couple months max in the apocalypse and he's ALREADY jumping to murder. we see in season 1 ep 1 the way he talks about women even before the apocolapse. aka "every other pair of boobs"
the decision was right but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
I never liked Shane
At this point of the Story I liked Shane much more than Rick. Shane was the more interesting character. You could never know what He would do the next scene. Would gone wild? Or would He be nice? Rick was much more predictable and boring for me.
Sorry but I was with Shane at the end, hersel needed to see the reality they live in
Thank goodness Shane did what he did otherwise they would have never found Sophia! They weren't just looking for her alive. They were also looking for her dead or her as a walker, but because Herschel was keeping this barn full of walkers they didn't even know to look there. Otis is dead because he shot Carl and then couldn't do the difficult thing and leave Shane behind to save Carl. If Otis had done what Shane asked him to do, when Shane told Otis to take the bags and leave him behind, he was still be alive.
If you have any thoughts of "really liking Shane" you clearly are not a great judge of character. It was subtle, but made very clear from the beginning that Shane only really cares about Shane. He will do the minimum to look good in the eyes of others, but will do anything that takes care of Shane (oh, and somebody else's family is something he believes helps take care of Shane). He was always a bad un. Getting really pissed off..... get used to it!
Disagree
I disagree. If you never had conflicted thoughts about him, you may not have the mental capacity to handle a complex character in a tv show. I feel bad for anyone who thinks that way.
@@falseshepherd-490 forreal. Shane was a goated character. Easily top 3 written characters on the show.
shane is the best character , you crazy
To me I don’t understand the dislike for Shane like I do get it but I feel like sometimes people don’t think about their hypothetical situations properly and I’ll and I will explain what I mean, the common argument is “Shane will get them kicked out!” Ok… how? if hershell is such a pacafist that won’t use guns and the group doesn’t want to leave how is hershell going to make them leave? By acting like Shane? The thing that is being argued is bad? Don’t get me wrong Shane ilhas done a lot of dick moves, which make him look insane whe he actually is speaking the truth people don’t want to hear! It’s the apocalypse there is no more “owning land” that just isn’t a thing if they don’t want to leave (why would they) and hershell can’t make them then they won’t, get what I’m saying?
Even if Hershel wasn't a pacifist, he didn't have the power to kick them out. Fact is they should have taken the farm by force as soon as they realized he had walkers in the barn and didn't tell them about it.
Idc shane was right about this 100%
If you ask me, Shane has kept it under control for a long time because we've all broken up with people before, but we usually don't have to watch them be with other people. Shane is having to watch Lori and Rick be together. That's really hard. Now, she's possibly carrying his child?? Come on man, that's too hard.
Nah, in my eyes Dale is 10X worse then Shane. Shane was the only smart one at this point, aside from Glenn really.
Shane was right and you know it, that's why you're upset.
Shane was never right. He does things according to how Lori treats him
the decision was right, the barn needed to be opened and the zombies needed to die. but he went about it in the worst way possible. he screams at everyone and forces them the barn open. he doesn't wait for Carl to get to safety, or Lori - the two people he justifies all his descisions on. he doesn't let anyone who can't fight have a chance to get away. then he wasn't even able to put Sophia down, which makes him look even more in the wrong for forcing Hershel's family to watch their family/friends die but not even being willing to treat Sophia the same. he looks hypocritical at best.
@@m1sslunatic803 Of course, I agree.
With all due respect my bro with that mentality I don’t think you’d do that well in the apocalypse. Not everything’s about morals in the apocalypse. What Shane did actually woke up Hershel’s delusion about walkers being people which was better for him in the long run. Imagine living next to a barn full of flesh eating individuals who could eat you alive at night with something as simple as a strong wind breaking the barn open one night after walkers overfill. You won’t be mad at Shane’s method than lmao. Yeah Shane does things but most of what he did is better for survival. Everyone was so deluded in season 1 and 2 about survival
