You literally do not have to pay for it. You will be able to see their cut reactions on yt. Choosing to pay for it then complaining it crazy. Greed? It may be their full time jobs & their source of income. If you come on the reactions to just be negative towards them then I doubt they will miss you here :)

Shane is a well written & complex character. As an adult, I appreciate what he brought to the show & it's conflicts. Seeing him go the way he did by Rick having to make that hard decision as he had seen he was too far gone. I did not like his decision making, he was unhinged and impulsive. Raising his gun on his best friend and SA to Lori was unforgivable for me. Was there ANY room for redemption? We will never know that. But we can assume it will have a long lasting impact on the progression of the show (and Rick specifically). Despite the signs I picked up on (and a good amount of the fandom did as well), it still was a jaw dropping moment for the series. No one should be getting angry at you guys for having a different perspective, like that's the WHOLE point of reacting lmao. This show gives so many perspectives and gives the audience conflicting thoughts, AS IT SHOULD. That is the point of the story telling. Thank you guys!

I'm gonna be honest, I was all about supporting you guys, I love the reactions, but I have to say, when I first subbed to get access to the $6/mo stuff, I didn't realize that there were tiers JUST TO SEE MORE.... I thought there'd be tiers to show support, I get that... But you hiding the most recent stuff behind TWO paywalls is nuts and I'm already gonna unsub from your Patreon. Enjoy the $8.50.... I'm rolling my eyes at your greed right now... Wild.

Hey guys, I liked your convo about the anti Shane comments - I’m glad you mentioned the attitude behind some of it coming from knowing the outcome. That’s fair and never occurred to me. My criticism wasn’t that you guys like Shane or agreed with his point of view, my issue has been how far you went to defend some of the real sketchy shit he did… like if you had been “this act was wrong” and not justify and excuse it. I don’t think anyone wants you guys to see it black and white - grey characters are the best - lol not wording this right… it wasn’t the support of Shane but rather the absence of criticism of him that was the issue

I really enjoyed the post-episode discussion on this one! If all reactors were just an echo chamber and everyone had the same opinions, things would be pretty boring. I'm glad you guys stand by your thoughts on the characters. With that said, I do still disagree on some of the defenses of Shane's actions. He's an awesome character, but the warning signs were clear from the first season alone when he slept with Lori, assaulted her, and pointed his weapon at his "best friend" (which I know you mentioned). It was always going to come to this and Lori's little apology only sped things up and instigated Shane to start scheming. He's complex and interesting. Maybe not completely without redemption. But I could never root for him, especially over Rick. The dude was unhinged and blinded by jealousy and selfishness.

I mean waiting for retribution is one thing but I don't know man...I found it a little weird that Shane kept doing questionable things and they kept cheering him on. lol. (or at least kinda downplays it).
Andy Eggroll
2025-09-06 07:20:12 +0000 UTC
I get what you're trying to say about refraining from speaking in a manner that seems like there's no retribution for a character because we know ahead of time....but.....how do you explain continuously rooting for a character who since season 1 did some pretty f'd up things like trying to gRape Lori or raising his gun at his own best friend? I came off the Shane train REAL quick as soon as those two things happened. It didn't take me (or a lot of people) until the end of season 2 to realize Shane is not a good person.
Andy Eggroll
2025-09-06 07:16:00 +0000 UTC
I've never understood your undying love for shane from about half way through this season it was pretty obvious he was a lost cause, HOWEVER, well fucking done for saying what you did at the end, and sticking by your own decisions throughout despite the comments. This is why I pay to watch reactions, because everyone is different and I get to see things through different lenses. Please continue to not be swayed by the crowd, even when you're in the minority!

goat XD bro nut in bros best friend like what shane demanded the screen time but you CANT like him thats like liking theon because he changed n became SUPPER loyal after being tortured for years idk why people even fucked with theon to begin with XD he called the starks house symbol a freak the first episode bro was a whole captor getting major respect n calling there symbol a freak XD

2025-09-04 04:50:08 +0000 UTC
pudgey is right if she came to terms with him at the start like they did for FUCKING instead of just being pissed for months then warming up to him because hes leaving isnt how u do it you need to set FERM LINES like she did but also tell him yes we did have a thing but end it there but she dragged him along pudgey made me think dif cus i did always think Lori had a SMALL part in it n shane was just low key trash because he was SOOOO pissed he fell in love with his best friends wife n expected him to still have her but idk maybe if she did come at it differently his ego wouldn't be going so crazy and he would except letting her go

2025-09-04 04:42:35 +0000 UTC
I liked Shane as a character, a lot. I'm genuinely not sure if you forgot, but Shane raised a gun to Rick's back much earlier on and actually contemplated murdering him. That was the moment I came to my "conclusion" about him. Dale was right, he was truly dangerous and on a dark path since Rick's return, not just this episode.

Please everyone listen to what they said end of the reaction:
Vehemently arguing about a character like Shane whose character makes such a big turn over the show IS an indirect (and I’m sure genuinely unintended) spoiler. I don’t care if you knew he was a bad guy at whatever point in the show. You’re arguing from a point where you know you’ll be proven “right” later. Save it for after we’ve seen their fate.
Plus I feel like when people lash out at them liking a toxic character it just makes them double down on it lol

Which is strange because he fought hard to audition for Shane, knowing he died. In the comics, he died earlier, so didn’t have as big an arc, & was going to die at the end of season 1 (obviously he can still be sad about it). The whole cast waited through the night until sunset to give his a send off after filming & even the Dale actor flew in for it!

Should've had a moth land on his head after he shaved it.. maybe that would've been too obvious
PastaDon
2025-09-01 22:03:04 +0000 UTC
Here is a question for people who think we only retroactively see Shane as a bad guy because of this last episode: Ep 3 (Three!) of this season, the one where he shot Otis, was book-ended by a very ominous scene of Shane shaving his head in front of a mirror.
Here is the scene: https://youtu.be/BCQ7pIdFxBM?si=kn8MikWVBUvfC9y9
Why do you think the show created this scene? To show... a haircut? A change of style? What does that scene mean to you? What message do you think that the show was trying to convey with this scene?
(Hint: this is the show SCREAMING at you that this guy has now transitioned into evil. They literally, literally told you this. The only way the show could be even more blatant is if they had him twirl his moustache and go "muhahahaha." How do people not see this?)

He raised his gun at Rick with murderous passion and then sexually assaulted Lori the next episode in season 1. Is that enough reason? Or is that “no reason” as you claimed?

Welp, so long Shane.. you deserved better buddy, but Rick wasn't into sharing sooo..
I mean, sharing is caring, right? Plenty guys out there have multiple wives "looking at you Utah"..
Why couldn't Lori have double trouble..
Could've had a nice ceremony, Herschel could've called the proceedings and blessing..
Rick could've walked her down the isle and given her away.. 🤨
Funny Glenn was talking about cleaning the points on that RV..
I got an old 83 honda cb450sc that won't turn over, the points are caked with carbon.. wasn't getting any spark out of the plugs.. gotta reset the ignition timing on the fly wheel, which honestly is a pain in the ass
PastaDon
2025-09-01 16:26:22 +0000 UTC
No one disagrees with that.
The disagreement is that some people including our reactors don't see that Shane is a horrible person.
Julien
2025-09-01 14:11:53 +0000 UTC
Shane pointed a gun at Rick many episodes ago when he thought no one was looking. He literally considered killing his best friend so he could steal his family. So no, we don't dislike Shane because we know this episode. We dislike Shane because he is a piece of shit.
Shane is a classic character in literature and mythology: he is the Jealous Second. The one driven by jealousy and resentment who covets what his best friend or brother has. It was always there in the open. He is a version of Iago, from Othello.
He is not a good person. That he did many heroics including saving Rick's life early during the outbreak does not change this.
Julien
2025-09-01 14:09:25 +0000 UTC
I get that everyone has their own bias, but there’s a difference between simply being biased and completely turning a blind eye to everything a character does. Even watching this episode with you guys, it’s clear that despite him literally coming to this place planning to kill his best friend, you still defend him, try to justify him, and even give him credit.

Shane still gets a lot of debate and conversation as a character to this day, and hope I ain't speaking out of turn but I dare say that a lot of the pushback you guys got against your praising of his character may have been PARTLY due to people who knew he would try to kill Rick eventually, because before this episode I can completely understand your thoughts on him, I liked Shane when I first watched, but you end up re-contextualizing his decisions after this episode and I think a lot of us agree that Shane would let everyone else in the group die if it meant he got to be with Lori and Carl. He adapted to this world but he wasn't as mentally strong as Rick and he wasn't as clever as Rick. You can argue Rick didn't adapt enough, but Shane was so quick to lose himself. While others like Lori aren't blameless for his descent, in the end he couldn't handle this world. Physically he could, but mentally he just broke. I think when Shane said "I didn't keep them alive, they kept me alive", while it sounds wholesome, it kinda sums up the issue Shane has with handling whats actually happening, and they became his deadly obsession. Thats how I see it anyway.

I’m glad you guys concluded that Shane was too far gone. He wasn’t pure evil, he was a rabid dog. Great actor very interesting character. However I think his death is such a good thing for you two. Your focus has been so on Shane and loving him I think now you can favour other characters without seeing them through Shane’s lense. This isn’t a dig at all btw I enjoy your reactions. And I enjoyed your outro a balanced response 🙂

All because Shane wanted Lori so bad. Dude really lost the plot. Could have just let her go and got with Andrea more instead. I liked Shane and I agreed with alot of what he did, but his obsession for Lori and wanting to kill his bestfriend because of it is crazy work.
The group is incredibly weaker without Shane around as far as defense goes.

Pudgey your point about ppl not giving Shane the consideration he deserves, you won’t agree, but that’s bc he doesn’t deserve it lol. For example, with Lori, this man tried to rape her. Any consideration she would’ve had for him went out the window at that point. So for me, even though I appreciate her owning up to what she did with him and telling him thank you, I still think she did more than he deserved. For Rick, the consideration he gave Shane after he slept with his wife was not killing him, period. Yes, it’s unfair to Shane about the baby but if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions. Shane “it ain’t like it was before” should get that. As for Shane, I’m not really sure what consideration he was giving everyone when he was always the first to give up on ppl. Didn’t wanna go after the Atlanta group stuck in the city, didn’t wanna go after Merle (which I got but still), wanted to call off the Sophia search before anyone else, brutalized Hershel’s family right in front of him, the list goes on. Not saying there were never times he didn’t consider others but there’s not this noticeable difference on how much more considerate he was with others vs how they were with him. And if they weren’t considerate of him, it was always because he wasn’t considerate of them.

Yes its almost as if THEY only saw it in black and white in my opinion. I also loved Shanes character and i know i agreed with a lot of things he did, but i could also see that he was spiralling. And i dont like the bad taste i got in my mouth with their view of Lori, like she was the bad guy in everything, that she was the one cheating on her husband, not that he slept with his best friends wife. They have always been one of my favourite reaction channels but i have never felt this bad feeling with any other reactors.
c-evinrude
2025-09-01 05:46:17 +0000 UTC
I think Lori’s apology made Shane feel like Lori had feelings for him too, and the main person getting in the way of her fully expressing that Love was Rick. Pushed him off the edge.
Ken
2025-09-01 05:22:03 +0000 UTC
I've been waiting to get to this episode, and your reaction didn't disappoint! You are allowed to love whatever characters you want to - even the bad ones! :) I've loved watching the show again with you, and you have made me think about some of the characters in a different light. We each view the characters and their actions through a lens of our own personal experiences and biases. And I feel like this show is written in a way that makes each of us question our own humanity and what we would do and who we would become in this post-apocalyptic world.

Spartan the yapper 🤣
Great discussion at the end.
Andrew Lincoln's acting after stabbing Shane to death, the utter devastating sorrow in being forced to kill his best friend (he clearly still cared for him deeply), spectacular performance it was.
In the end, Rick brought a knife to a gunfight.
Rick won.
Paul
2025-09-01 04:22:56 +0000 UTC
His direct actions saved Rick’s entire family at the beginning saved carls life also took Otis’s but Rick could live with that trade, also whether shane was trying to distract Rick or not he was right in that moment and you could see it on Rick’s face that’s why he went to talk with him. I didn’t like Shane like they do but I understand their point of view.

2025-09-01 03:47:09 +0000 UTC
Im pretty sure Jon Bernthal said on a podcast that he cried when his character got killed. I think he definitely wanted to be on maybe a little longer but either way he was great in this role. I never liked Shane but when he died I remember being like “damn” just cause the actor brought a lot to the show. Good thing about this show is that they never fail at bringing on incredible characters.
Aya
2025-09-01 03:44:07 +0000 UTC
Although y’all did give Shane wayyyyy more grace than he deserved, y’all articulated everything very well in the recap.
He was a character that was never supposed to make it past szn 2 and I think that is why everyone was so up in arms about the Shane glaze because Shane’s fall from grace was the point of the szn. Shane in season 5, 6 or 7 of this show would have been a monster lol

Idk if anyone mentioned or if yall read comments but Dale's rv is the same rv used in the production of breaking bad. It's the "crystal ship". Oh and in the start of the season, when Daryl open Meryls bag of drugs, the bottom is full of meth and the meth is blue

It's all in perspective how each person perceives a character. Take Breaking Bad for instance. Walt did a lot of horrible things and devolved as a person but that doesn't change the fact that he's an awesome character. Shane is a great character despite being a horrible person.

Honestly the series gets so much better after these two seasons and I see the whole Shane thing as a good kickoff to changing who Rick is as a person.
As for the love for Shane idk I think its okay to like who he was rather than who he became. I think a lot of the forgiveness for him usually just comes from those who love his actor ( of course he’s amazing). But at the end of the day he was always going to turn out like this and his death needed to happen.
This show’s so good 💯

2025-09-01 02:28:52 +0000 UTC
The character Shane was a tortured soul. The actor Jon Bernthal was fantastic in every episode. For an actor to portray a character who can create so much division among the fan base, that’s a great actor perfectly playing an incredibly well written role.

2025-09-01 02:21:12 +0000 UTC
Shane was thinking of killing Rick in the first season and killed Otis, but maybe that was necessary to save Carl. Shane was very aggressive, but besides those moments I suppose Shane is partially right. In my opinion he just took it too far sometimes and wanted to prove his point. In this episode, Shane obviously crossed the line. Even though I see it as a loss to loose such a skilled fighter, I can't remember feeling as shocked as you were. Maybe because I was pro Rick.

How are we going forward without Shane? The same way we all did as this show grew to be the most watched live airing, at its peak it was like 17 million per Sunday night, which is a tough spot in the USA, considering for the fall and early winter it competed with Sunday Night Football.

2025-09-01 02:17:17 +0000 UTC

Bill B.
2025-09-01 02:06:26 +0000 UTC
Let’s not forget that 2 episodes ago when they first tried to release Randall, the plan went to shit when Shane and Rick literally tried to kill each other. The only thing keeping them alive was all of those walkers from that building, new enemy, all humans have to unite. From that point it was kind of inevitable that there is no longer room for both Rick and Shane. Shane had made his decision, Rick naively believed that he had brought Shane back and patched up the relationship.
Bill B.
2025-09-01 01:58:15 +0000 UTC
Yeah I think if Lori doesn’t thank Shane and apologize to him, he doesn’t snap and cook up this plan this episode. Plus hearing from Carl that he was too scared to shoot a walker. All this just confirms for Shane what he says right at the end, that he is a better man for Lori, a better father to Carl.

I appreciate your guy's reactions and the fact you don't simp for shows or apologize for biases. it's one of the things i love about your channel. However, for my part, my frustration about the Shane thing wasn't because i knew the future, it was because of what was happening and what had already happened. Having said that, i actually thought your reaction was pretty reasonable. You guys loved shane and also acknowledged his negative actions. (WATCH THEIR INTROS & OUTROS) When i first watched this i was so mad because i hated that his character was lost and had to die and that rick had to kill him and carl had to see that. I didnt think i could go on so i completely understand. I took a break but when i came back to the show i loved it EVEN more believe it or not. but yes it was crushing for all this to take place

Shane snapped. That will always be my view of what happened to him. He started strong and gradually got weakened enough by his trauma to just give in to his dark side. I see it like he just said “screw it” - the final phase was him finally just killing his best friend and “taking back his family” like his worst impulses have been telling him to.
I feel like the subtle signs were there that he was headed this way because it was always sneaky disrespect toward Rick in his conversations with Lori. That showed the man who was Rick’s real friend was gone.

The thing about Carl's headshot is that The Walking Dead is the kind of show where characters are good when they need to be and bad when they need to be to serve the plot.

Good riddance ✌️🥳 , this episode showed us that Lori wasn’t really the problem she apologised for everything and Shane ruined it

Watching your reactions so far, I honestly looked at Shane in a new light, I initially didn't like him when I first solo watched, but as I've rewatched the series you can really see all the different sides of him, so it was refreshing to see you guys like him a lot from the jump. One thing that remains universal across reactions though is how people feel about Lori lmao

Here's a PSA: It's not a spoiler to dislike and absolutely put down a character that attempts SA. It doesn't take knowing the outcome to hate the character from that moment further.

I do see Pudgey's POV about not being too vocal when we know the outcome. However, I will say, at least from my POV, this wasn't some sudden change from Shane. The season has been leading up to this, Shane is slowly declining, showing his true colors, I personally always saw signs of Shane being dangerous and unstable, more and more as the episodes went by.

Speaking for myself, they're my favorite reactors at this moment. I love how balanced and though and empathetic they are. I didnt ever judge them for like a character, i pushed back on what I saw as an almost complete disregard of the negative signs shane was displaying. I still think they're very balanced. Idc if they like shane I like shane. There was just not a lot of foresight regarding Shane's behavior and what that meant for the future

That conversation with Lori is the reason Shane did what he did, he listened to Lori say all that and then heard “so I’ve still got a chance.”

I agree with you guys about Shane! I love Shane's character and I agreed with him on everything. I just know love pushes people to do crazy things at times. And this has been building for Shane and when Lori said everything that she said, it just pushed him and confused him. And he felt like he had to act to take care of Randall and that if Rick wasn't there, Lori would eventually come back to him. I missed Shane so much throughout the series

Uuuugh I'm excited. OKAY. Pudgey. What do you mean: Shane was wrong but THIS?! What do you meaaaaaaan? Shane gave him no choice. Shane did all of this to kill Rick. Dale said it, sooner or later he's gonna kill someone else. What was Rick supposed to do? Shane gave him no choice whatsoever.
Oriana Lo Presti
2025-09-01 00:11:04 +0000 UTC
The fact that they were still rationalizing Shane's behavior after he killed Randall says all you need to know. Pudgey says, " but Randall admitted he was going back to his group" as a way of giving Shane a free pass. Also, Shane telling Rick he needed to tend to his son wasn't Shane caring about Carl, he was trying to delay Rick from taking Randall away so he could drag him out and kill him and then kill Rick. Ngl I'm glad the Shane worship is over. It always sat wrong with me how much they hated Jimmy and Kim (for the results of their indirect actions) and then turn around and worship Shane regardless of how his direct actions killed and hurt people and how unstable he was.

Obviously been waiting for this one since the beginning, as always it’s been a blast to watch these again with you guys and remember just how good this show was.
As far as people judging you for liking certain characters I hope your words reach people but you’re probably throwing pearls to swine for the most part. There’s a lot of functioning mongoloids out there who lack any sense and can’t imagine a perspective different than their own.
To your points there is such a thing as a great character that is villainous but still engaging and good for the story. Some people don’t have the mental or emotional depth to appreciate characters and arcs and only see them as black and white good or bad and align with them that way. You guys had a generous view of a man thrown into a world of chaos, who tried to have something good in his life that gave him purpose and then had it torn away after countless times risking his life and losing, yet was supposed to be grateful for it. Things may have been different had he or Lori been more upfront with Rick earlier and had Lori been more empathetic with Shane. Unfortunately that’s not how it went and the rest is history. He tried to do the unthinkable in the end and lost the coin toss. And it was tragic, the loss of what could have been had things been different.
Don’t pay attention to the dimwits just keep enjoying what you enjoy with the knowledge you have and let the show’s surprises and ups and downs take you on the fun ride, who cares how others feel about each and every detail.
Looking forward to the next one guys!

“how did we get here, at the beginning he was trying to save Rick”. Yea and then he pointed his gun at Rick’s back and would have shot him, he SA’d Rick’s wife and then tried to kill Rick when they went to drop off Randall...the signs were literally always there. And if you thought both of them were walking out of this scenario after he “went too far” (for the 3rd time, let’s be real), you’ve got another thing coming with this show, because that wasn’t happening. Rick understood that when they stepped onto that field.

I initially liked Shane, but after he tried to SA Lori at the CDC, I could not. I know too many women who had husbands and boyfriends who either tried to force themselves on their partners or actually did. It is so violating and some people never get past the PTSD. . Then he also got cocky which also turned me off. You can be tough without having to brag about how tough you are and how much you "protect the group". I did like the way Jon Bernthal played the character though.
It is tough losing two characters back to back. The farm is also being overrun. I think when the cattle broke through the fence and Hershel mentioned it last episode and then Maggie said with 50 head of cattle we might as well be ringing the dinner bell was definite foreshadowing. I did think the scene with Rick and Shane out in the field with the full moon was full on horror. Imagine having to kill your best friend even if he had turned to someone unrecognizable by this world. Many people would lose their wits for less.

The entire season leads up to that moment in the field between Shane and Rick. Lori talking to Shane this episode is what gave Shane hope to reconcile with her, all he needed was Rick out of the picture. Shane is a very complex character, yes a badass, but not a good person. Rick didn’t have a choice in the end and you can tell how much it hurt Rick to have to kill someone he saw as his brother.

Shane would definently have killed the group by now if he was the leader and no Rick was there!

The reason that you are all so shocked by all of this is because you failed to see Shane's unraveling throughout. If you watch the first two seasons again you might see what is going on better. I agree on some things. Shane was a bit of a 'pig', lets say, throughout life... sleeping with everyone even married women when he was in high school. BUT... he loved Rick like a brother and would do anything for him. In a flashback when he was trying to get Lori and Carl out of the city, he even said... 'we are doing what Rick would want.' So yes, Shane was a great friend to Rick for a long time. But during the fall he made Lori and Carl his 'excuse', they were his reason to fight. With out them to fight for, it was kind of empty... like 'why bother', 'why fight', so he NEEDED them. That is why he 'lost it'. That is why he said 'THEY saved ME'.... It was just sad all around. I really liked the Shane character too, he brought a lot to the show. You all just failed to see his unraveling because you were so focused on the good friend he USED to be.

Guys Lori saying that to Shane, was what made Shane do this, Lori saying that was what made him ultimately want Rick out of the way, but he squared up with the Rick sooo...

2025-08-31 22:50:50 +0000 UTC
I love Shane as a character and I think Jon Bernthal killed it in the role but make no mistake, morally Shane is a bad person. I know Bernthal had proposed an alternative scene for his death where after he had turned, Rick would pick up Shane's gun and go to shoot him with it only to find that it was empty, the idea being that Shane had no intentions of killing Rick but rather he wanted Rick to kill HIM but the writers didn't go with it.

Kristoffer Smedegaard
2025-08-31 22:47:17 +0000 UTC
Notice that Shane didn't go to Rick after he spoke to CARL.... it was after he spoke to LORI. He didn't approach Rick because he wanted to 'help' it was because he wanted to bide some time.... he wanted Rick to postpone taking Randal and go talk to Carl so he could plot out this plan to kill Rick. While I understand why Lori said what she said and it made sense... it was THAT conversation that led Shane to want to take out Rick. He thought, based on what Lori was saying, that if Rick was out of the picture she would still be with him.
