The Walking Dead 2x9 Uncut Reaction

nah dawg, i love shane's character but the way y'all praise him and think he cannot do wrong whatsoever just really makes me go the opposite direction. you can love a character and still see the wrong they've done. for every right he's done, he's probably got twice as many wrongs.

David Cruz

mural fucks shane daryl dose to

Djp

yall are goofy loris trash but so is shane XD couple weeks ur nutting in ur best friends girl XD

Djp

Every time Lori says the baby is ricks regardless you guys don’t like it but they don’t have DNA test anymore so it is what they say it is at this point. Lori is trash but I’m just saying lol

Kay Renee’

Shane didn’t really care about those people. He only cared about Lori / Carl. He said so himself. I think you’re right about his loneliness & attachment issues & insecurities. He always coveted what Rick had. Rick outranked him at work, he had Lori & Carl and was generally a like-able, capable leader. He exudes hope, determination, creativity and honor - Shane doesn’t. And he acted out bc he realized this when Rick came back.

Montae Williams

Wow, again some of these comments are wild! lol Excited for the next ep. "18 miles out" one of my favorites..

PastaDon

Lori didn't lie although it was manipulative. IDK how you guys forget that Shane had Rick in his gun sights in season 1. 😳 I love the drama if this show!

Jermaine Lee

Like Lori is trying to protect her family from Shane who've shown to be untrustworthy and reckless

Guadalupe Rosas

I think you guys tend to be bias towards male characters and not even realize it

Guadalupe Rosas

Im surprised they didnt catch the projection. Everything Daryl said about Carol in that moment, he was talking about himself. He does not understand how to express emotions or feelings since he was raised and always taught to never show emotions towards anyone else. So the only way he knows to cope with his own feelings is to cast them onto other people. The writing is genius!

Andrew Nyberg

Thats not how I ever interpreted it. She straight up asks him "You would kill the living to protect whats yours? Well, Shane thinks that I am his..." Hinting to Rick that he needs to kill the living to protect whats his.

Andrew Nyberg

the only evil one here causing a lot of mess and playing all these mind games is Lori

Milf and Cookies

My guess is Shane had attachment problems way before the apocalypse. Seeing how he and Rick talked in the car in their first scene together you could see that Shane was lonely even if he was being goofy about it. I think he was genuinely trying to be a leader to the group before Rick came back and that for the first time in his life even in that effed up situation he was finally meaning something. Only for it to be snatched away from him upon Rick's return, exacerbated by the attack on their camp and losing people he was caring about, I think he just spiraled more and more into a hole he couldn't get himself out of. Clinging only to his relation and feelings towards Lori and Carl and trying to get those feelings back. I don't think he's a sociopath as he seems to feel a lot of guilt for the bad deeds he's doing, but unfortunately they are becoming easier for him to deal with and he's starting to be too far gone. I think he is far more complex than people give him credit for, he's not all bad, he just seems to genuinely believe that he is in the right in everything he's doing (not unlike a certain Daenerys Targaryen that thought she knew exactly what was good and wrong in the final season). I personally agree with a lot of his decisions and I do share love for his character, but he clearly needs help

Alex Francis

Lori never told Rick to kill Shane. She was warning Rick that Shane might try to kill him. "You killed the living to protect what's yours? Well Shane thinks i'm his". Meaning Shane would kill Rick to protect Lori and Carl who he thinks is his.

BeatsByDay!

I think watching this show reminds me constantly I would not be long for the world because I would always try to retain my humanity and uphold the "rules of a world that no longer exists". The irony of Lori poisoning Rick's attitude towards Shane at the end of this episode is she's doing it largely for the same reasons Shane killed Otis, fear of losing someone he / she loves.

Paul

not yet! but we hope to soon

CpaSpartan Pudgey

haha good to know!

CpaSpartan Pudgey

Spartan you absolutely 'nailed it about Daryl and Carol's chemistry. That scene between them was so well acted by them both.

Sharpgirl

You’re a delusional Shane stan lol , most people love Shane as a character but you have lost the plot if you agree with his decisions.

JonSnow21

7000 languages and you chose to speak facts.

JonSnow21

Exactly it’s starting to annoy me with how bias they are towards Shane and has a problem with Rick’s choices when he’s usually right.

JonSnow21

Was the same with another very masculine character in stranger things 😂 they can't see past it lmao

LyndonD

I just wanted to say that regarding the comments below about you guys liking Shane - I am also watching a reactor on YT who is getting heated comments for calling him evil so you really can’t win in this fandom… 🙃🤣 That’s why Shane is such a good character imo.

Natalie-Anne

not saying she isn’t right but the way she does it doesn’t sit well with me.

Natalie-Anne

This is when I started to dislike the way Lori does things. She comes off as manipulative and making it a competition of who can protect her while talking to Rick about Shane. Whispering to him about what Shane wants is pushing Rick to his limit.

Natalie-Anne

Whilst Lori is manipulating things like you said, everything she said in the last scene was completely truthful. She made a point that Rick killed to protect what he sees as his, remember what Shane said to Lori in the house? It's the same. With how hot headed he is being and his questionable actions (Otis, pointing a gun at Rick, continuing to confess his infatuation with Lori and Carl etc), she is absolutely right to say that Shane is a danger. He's getting progressively worse, and she's scared. Shane WAS the sort of person I'd want in my group in this scenario, but he cannot keep a level head or be trustworthy and has now become a danger to everyone

LyndonD

Lori is honestly the Skylar of this show. She's in the right, but she's written in a way that's designed to be hated by a portion of the audience. She's a foil to the "badass" character who's also a piece of crap. She's 100% correct with what she says to Rick, but the scene is framed like she's Littlefinger talking to Ned Stark.

Evan

i was wondering have you guys seen the punisher? with how much you enjoy Shane in this he is the main character in the punisher. Feel like spartan particularly would be obsessed with him in it

Sebz

Poor Daryl this episode he is struggling with Sophia and pushing Carol away 💔 I love these two.

Natalie-Anne

Shane is clearly infatuated with Lori .. and it’s not normal. Great character , but being obsessed with her isn’t normal.

Jonathan G

I mean, it's pretty clearly that she's scared of him. She knows he's extremely dangerous, and he's just told her the creepiest line of all time "it was a long time coming" (watch her reaction to that statement). She knows nothing she can say can make the situation better, outside of lying to him (which would only make it worse in the long run). She goes on to say as much to her husband when she's warning him, not goding him on like they seem to think.

jmus

Shane denied himself rights as a father lmao. Man isn't fit to raise a plant let alone a child. Imagine if the child is a girl 😂 Having that misogynistic rapist as your Dad, yikes. Lying constantly for his own agendas, sexually assaulting Lori (won't be the first time he's done that to someone btw), killing people etc. Why would any woman want that man near them or their child?

jmus

This show is my comfort show I’ve watched it way too many times 😂😂

Olive_Sandy

Lori literally said word for word what Shane did and Yall are saying she’s wrong?! 😂😂 honestly this love for Shane it insane!

Olive_Sandy

Rick risks the life of himself, Hershel, and Glenn to want to do surgery on a stranger that was just trying to kill them (and would have if given the chance) all while a walker horde is surrounding them because he feels bad for the guy. Then he brings him back to the farm lmao. Meanwhile Shane goes out solo to find Lori and succeeds. He then lies to her to protect her instead of going on a wild good chase in the dark while injured.

Ryan

If you can't see how important it was for Shane to lie to her, a pregnant woman (with potentially his child) who didn't even make it a mile down the street without nearly killing herself, then idk what to tell you. She was already injured and to say "Oh sure Lori lets hop in the car and go search for him in the dark" would be stupid.

Ryan

You have to understand how Shane could push back on this though and not believe her. She could also just be saying that now that Rick is back. We will never truly know.

Ryan

Soon y’all will learn that the one person who don’t play about LORI AND CARL IS RICK! Shane is obsessed, toxic and dangerous! I don’t care too much for Lori but one thing about her, she knows she is a WIFE! And a wife honors her husband! She ended things with Shane the moment she knew her husband was ALIVE! She told Rick the truth! Shane will do anything to keep Lori and Carl in his finger tips and if that means killing INNOCENT PEOPLE, he will do that. And YES, he already has! Everybody looks to RICK for a reason because Rick is a leader that cares and protects HIS PEOPLE! Not just his wife and son, but the GROUP! That’s why he went after Hershel! That’s why he brought them to the CDC! That’s why Hershel looks to Rick! That’s why Maggie SLAPPED Shane! Yeah sure he’s a tough guy but this world is bigger than yourself, it’s bigger than your wants! It’s about those around you!

Anaya Imari

Perfectly said!! That’s why I can’t wait for the later seasons. Because Rick is by far the greatest leader there could ever be! Daryl is as well and a few other FEMALE CHARACTERS😎😎😎So hopefully they’ll get the freak over it because it’s truly saddening lol. Great reactions but super weird how they are riding for Shane way more than Rick. We are toooo far in!

Anaya Imari

I dont think Lori never loved shane! Theres was nothing there. She was alone at one point so shane took the opportunity to be with lori n carl and had feelings for her before everything went down! So at this point is a Shane problem. Not her or rick! So yes! She is 100% right. When she said "shane is dangerous" and needs to be stopped. Again Great character shane is!!! Hes right in alot of things! But when it comes breaking up a family now thats too far.

Elias Flores

I’ve liked Shane up to this point but I just can’t cosign his behavior anymore. I get that he thought Rick was dead and fell and love with Lori. However, when you find out your supposedly “best friend” is alive you stop there and suppress what ever feelings you may have caught in my opinion.

Alex Walker

Yea agreed doesn't need to kill Shane but Lori didn't lie shane ass need to be put in check like saying all this to your best friend wife is crazy that man is not right in the head

Josh

This makes a lot of sense when it comes to Lori’s point of view. Mix that in with some severe ptsd from the world ending and husband and child being shot .. I wouldn’t know what to believe from Shane either if I were her..

ShanB

I can see how people can read Lori’s body language as her knowing Shane was right when she just stopped arguing after he said what they had was real. I think it could’ve been either or. It may have been a lost cause to her because he wouldn’t stop trying to convince her and she saw how aggressive he’s gotten with her in the past. Either “he’s right and I don’t want to say that aloud” or “he’s scaring me with his persistence and it’s pointless to say anything else because he’s already convinced”.

ShanB

Also being that she just found out about the Otis situation.. she’d be worried about what such a disloyal friend might do to Rick out on a run. So telling him his friend thinks his family belongs to him is what a loyal wife would do.

ShanB

Don’t forget the first night Rick reunited with his fam & Shane and the group at the Quarry Camp he thanked Shane in front of everyone and told him he could never repay him for keeping his family safe. That was before Rick knew anything. So he has thanked Shane, but you guys seem to think he hasn’t. Also, Lori has done a LOT of things wrong and is partly to blame for it all, but Shane is obsessed! It’s not healthy. He is slowly getting worse & now that he thinks she’s having his baby it’s gonna get crazy I think bc when Lori told him that it wasn’t real, that it was basically just comfort after she thought she lost her husband and the world was falling apart, that it wasn’t love like she has for Rick, it broke him. His relationship with her was never completely healthy. It started in a very traumatic time and events with a big trauma hanging over their head with the “death” of Rick. Anyway, I didn’t mean to be so long winded, haha, but you guys give Shane so much shine and he’s disappointing me. (the actor, however, is a diff story, he is an incredible actor in everything I’ve seen him in)

Bev Morton

Nah guys.. all Shane love aside.. he’s been a pretty back stabby friend lately don’t yall think? He’s telling his bff’s wife that he’s basically the real protector of their family and that what they had was real even though anyone can see it was all a cope... all while Lori is the one who came clean about their romance to Rick and Shane continues to keep it all on the low. Lori had to talk to Rick about Shane. he aggressively came on to her @ the cdc and then also continues to believe what they had was real and right. This shows that his loyalty to Rick in regards to Lori is out the window because him being back didn’t stop him from trying to sleep with her.. should Lori just keep that to herself? You guys are a couple let’s be real here 😅

ShanB

I agree. He’s been a bad friend since Rick has come back for sure. Only true bro moment has been how he handled Rick emotionally when he was in shock about Carl. Since then he’s been pretty snakey

ShanB

In this episode Shane's heroics fell victim to the Liar's Lament. Which is when the downfall of someone who is so good at convincing others they aren't lying occurs. Essentially their reputation falls apart when they get caught dead to rights in a lie causing people to go back and reconsider all the other times they could have lied previously. Often even things they didn't lie about is called in to question. For example Shane leaving Rick at the hospital and telling Lori he was dead. He didn't lie but there is no way in world to prove it.

Jason Sadowski

Agreed! Why did some people think Lori was being shady or causing drama here when she was simply putting her husband on to his best friends disloyalty behind his back? Shane and Lori together did something that only one of them seems to regret enough to stop. Shane blatantly and aggressively tries to come on to her again and repeatedly boasts about protecting her better than her husband. Lori needed to have that conversation with her husband. Shane also wasn’t jumping to tell Rick the truth while he’s having all these conversations with Lori.

ShanB

I think both are you are half right regarding Lori’s feelings for Shane. She DID feel something, but it was also because she was filling a void and she thought her husband was dead. She as much says so in a previous episode. It’s basically a rebound on steroids. Now that her lawfully wedded husband is back, she is holding the line and telling Shane that there is nothing between them and what happened was a fleeting mistake.

Hoary Old Bitch

and i have to add. yeah i was annoyed with lori almost from the getgo lol shes annoting. BUT you are misinterpreting her. she said ''you killed the living to protect whats yours and shane think im his.'' shes warning rick, not egging him on, and in this case i was actually not annoyed with her. shes a wife who feels guilt and is doing everything to be loyal to and protect her husband. what do you want her to do? have a threesome with shane? she is bitchy yes but the one thing i admired was how she supported rick in theses moments and looked out for him. you know what? if shane was a true friend he wouldnt be telling lori i love you, i protect you what does rick do?? who says that?? he should MOVE ON. rick is a good honorable man who has done nothing but be good to lori and shane and carl, but shane always talks shit about him to his wife and i can't support that

rachel pelfrey

I don't know that Lori did love Shane. When she had the conversation with Dale about the baby, she said she just wanted to feel something. That sounds like closeness or desire, not love. Either way, she said she hated herself for it. I would guess that would be the end of it.

Mony

Love the reactions but golly gee. You said Shane is saving Lori again while Rick is saving someone else. Rick didnt go to save someone he went to fetch hershell FOR LORI. And he navigated a delicate conversation with hershell which Shane could never have done. And yes now he has to save his dudes lol as you said Lori was a plum idiot for driving out there alone and crashing her stupid car. Rick didnt know or he'd have gone. Cut him some slack lol what do yall want from him??

rachel pelfrey

I really like Shane's character too.... he is interesting, but not 'good'. He is weak... he absolutely NEEDS Lori and Carl so he has an excuse to do the things he has to do. It isn't love... it is co-dependance. Without them to focus on I don't think Shane would have much balls to do anything.... Like Lori said.... they are his excuse.

Korivex

I get so pumped for these reactions. I’m loving them. I think for me I would have more respect for Shane if his angle was solely about the baby. Like if he were to just be like “listen Lori now that Rick knows we need to all have a conversation about this baby because you cant deny me my right as a father.” Instead his motive is getting with Lori and its a creepy obsession. Like stand 10 toes down on the fact that its your baby. That I get. That I can respect. But trying to convince a married woman she want you is weird. And lori needs to stop be dismissive. She needs to admit to the fact that what they had at that time was real but it was built on grief and now its over. Her being dismissive and then going back and forth with telling him to leave and then stay and then its not his baby and all that is just making stuff worse.

Aya

next ep is crazy I can't wait

ilona

Riiight guys come on you can like Shane but yous defo have a bias for his behaviour 🥴 An unhinged man telling you that your baby is his, that you’re meant to be together and he loves you and your husband can’t protect you. Not to mention he just lied to her about her husbands safety to manipulate her back to the farm and tried to force himself on her at that government place. She’s hearing things from other people in camp that he’s scaring them and he basically admitted he killed someone to protect her and her boy. The writing is on the wall that Shane if it comes to it will do ANYTHING when it comes to Lori. I think she has every right to be scared or cautious of him at this point and warn her husband. She’s not manipulating the situation she’s telling Rick it pretty clearly how it is. We can like characters but he’s getting too many passes 😅

Yoursinchris

i love Shane but come on, Lori repeated everything Shane is saying. he's gone crazy and she is actually scared now.

EnVy316LeGeNd

You've mentioned that Lori needs to tell Rick the truth for his sake and Shane's sake, but keep in mind that Shane has never actually come clean to Rick about what happened between him and Lori.

ZK

Great reaction! I really can't wait for the rest of S2! Binge Binge Binge :D

Yes !! 🙌

Hamad

I think that a lot of people misinterpret what Lori says to Rick at the end. I don't think that Lori was telling Rick to kill Shane but rather she was warning him that Shane might be willing to kill Rick. When Rick was telling her how he killed Dave & Tony, he said it was so he could get back to her and then she said "You killed the living to protect what's yours" meaning Rick was willing to kill people who were a danger to protect Lori & Carl. Shane has admitted that he believes Rick's way of thinking will end up getting Lori & Carl killed and thus Shane views Rick as a threat to them. So I think she's saying that if Rick could kill someone he believed to be a threat (Dave & Tony) to protect herself & Carl, then Shane definitely could with Rick.

lewis mcrae

Pudgey you definitely have a type on characters 😅 , completely ignoring the bad things Shane did

Hamad

🤣

DRIP DROP

Yeah Shane is in it for himself. He only cares about the group so long as they are useful to him.

Golladan

Shane seems to be a representation of the shadow side of survival. His possessive attachment of Lori and Karl isnt genuine love. He is controlling, obsessive and has narcissistic tendencies. He alone knows best etc. It definitely is dangerous for Lori and Karl. He tried to force himself on Lori and this being brushed over is actually shocking! He is a fav character of mine as he is dark and complex but hes very flawed.

Kiwi Tennille 🥝

Allright guys i expect the shane glazing at this point... but Lori literally told Rick everything shane said at the end tf, word for word

DRIP DROP

The post episode discussion is top shelf 5⭐ copium

jmus

The thing you guys are not connecting is that both Shane and Rick were in a similar life and death situation! Obviously u guys said Shane had to make the hard decisions so he had to kill Otis surrounded by walkers! But Rick did the opposite he saved 3 people in a shot out and they were surrounded by walkers. Soooo…. So it seems to me Shane takes the easy way out while Rick thinks about getting everyone back to safety. Remember in season 1 Shane didn’t want to go back for the rest of the group, but guess what Rick barely begun adjusting to the “new world” and still managed to save half the group members back to safety. It’s gonna be interesting to see your guys discussion next ep!

Shaniya

Lori is 'pissing you off'.... why? because she is afraid of Shane, afraid that he might go after Rick and so she is warning Rick? I would think any woman would warn her husband if she thought his life was in danger.

Korivex

There is no "kind of" required 😂

jmus

Love the reactions, but you are being kind of delusional about Shane. He is clearly a ticking time bomb waiting to explode

Sander Holvik

I get what Pudgey was saying during the opening, Rick didn’t really do much he wouldn’t have done as a cop. Remember episode one? People pulled guns on him so he and Shane killed them in the intro car chase. Rick’s probably killed people before then, almost certainly. The one thing that may have been “this is Rick changing his mindset,” would be the final headshot of Tony, the last guy. Cop him wouldn’t have confirmed an execution. But shooting two guys who were clearly suspicious the entire time and pulled a gun? I think any rational human being makes that choice, that’s not any different from regular cop work that we know he does.

TalbertInc

YAY! Good episode. Don't worry Spartan you are still on top of things. The gun was the second threat previous episode. Lori was trying to get Hershel for Beth but also she is more worried about Rick too. Rick was different when Lori wasn't pregnant and he is making more drastic decisions now. Plus he has all these people to look after. This episode Shane is unraveling, but I don't think Lori needed to go as far as she did with telling Rick about Shane. I get she feels he is dangerous and he did try to SA her before. I think she and Shane are both in the wrong. I wish Shane would have not been so aggressive with her in the past because it makes his speech about how much he loves her sound weak. I don't like they brought the guy back with them. It would have been more humane to shoot him. I hate saying that, but Rick pulling his impaled leg up off the fence really injured it even if Hershel sewed him up well, muscle damage takes weeks to repair. If they take him out and give him some water and send him on his way, he won't be able to defend himself well with his leg being messed up and no food. Also the guys possibly looking for him is scary.
