re: Official The Walking Dead S05E12 "Remember" NO COMICS

Has this been discussed? We were talking about the Rick/Shane similarity.

Remember when Shane got back from his trip with Otis? After he killed Otis he showered and shaved his head. This marked a definite change in Shane and he was more brutal and in "survival mode" after that.

This time, Rick showers and shaves the beard. The camera shot is pretty much the same as the Shane head shave. After the beard is gone, this marks a change in Rick. He has always been in survival mode, but at the end of the episode he says, "And if we have to, we'll take this place." A definitely more brutal Rick has emerged.

I just found it interesting considering we were talking Shane/Rick contrasts.
