Can you clarify?
I must have missed something about them addressing this.

28DL wasn't that way. Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead weren't like that.
Well, there are many, myself included, that don't place 28DL as a zombie movie. It's a rage/virus movie and has its own rules to follow. You didn't need a head shot to kill the 28DL people, and they were so much eating people as they were ripping them to pieces in a frenzy.

I've seen NotLD before, but it's been forever though, so I don't remember that one. But this is from the NotLD Wiki plot summary: quote: The next morning, Ben awakens as a posse arrives; but is killed when a member of the posse, mistaking him for a ghoul, shoots him between the eyes. Oblivious, the posse member declares "that's another one for the fire." Ben's body is then placed onto a burning pyre along with other dead bodies. Doesn't mention him reanimating at all. I've seen a decent bit of zombie movies, and I don't remember a single one that is what you're talking about, where all you have to do is die. And I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's certainly not common enough to be "zombie 101."
That's from the original NOTLD. My example was from the 1991 version (my favorite zombie movie). Obviously Ben couldn't reanimate in the original because he got shot in the head. Poor guy.
I'm conclusion, regardless what zombie rules you care to follow (and there are many) it doesn't give a person the right to spoil aspects of this particular show. So even though to me it's common knowledge, I can see why you are pissed about it, and rightfully so.

+1. This why the "common knowledge" arguement is bullshite.

there's no fricking way he would have gotten there in time had he just seen shane holding a gun to his dad and started trucking it. He also started pointing the gun at Rick before shane even rose

And maybe Carl was freaked out but a "Hey, dad, take one step to the side so I can shoot zombie Shane in the head" would have been a nice common courtesy.

From the spoiler thread but this is NOT a spoiler. It's from an interview with the writers and the question pertains to scenes from the first episode of the 2nd season.
Ok? We all cool here? Good.

I think if you go back and watch that [sequence you'll see] we were very careful to have them be in cars that were in accidents, so the brain would’ve had trauma. Or they had some kind of wounds somewhere on their heads to show that their brains had been killed, like somebody came across and killed them.

"Common knowledge" of any characters of the show pr direct aspects of the storyline are bullshite, no arguments there.
Common knowledge of the genre as a whole, it's not bullshite. Sorry

Minor thread hijack. Bought a wannee ticket Saturday, cotton. Can't wait 
But yea last nights episode was pretty solid I guess. While the showdown between Shane and rick was good, I really thought Carl pointing the gun at Rick and Rick not being able to hear zombie Shane behind him in an open, quiet field was a little dumb.

Fair enough but you're discounting Carl's power to be exactly everywhere he's not supposed to be.
Seriously though, while it is a stretch, I think the binocular scene kinda set it up for this explanation.
He could've been aiming at Rick I guess. The situation did look bad with him hanging over Shane's dead body like that but I really think he saw Shane stirring and was going for him the whole time.

It's just the fact that it continues to happen. We all like the show and we all like discussing the show. Some of us have seen/read the comics and spoilers, but most of us have not. It just sucks that people continue to post spoiler-ish shite in these nonspoiler threads. It's happened almost every week (as this converstation has come up almost that often). I just don't see how it's so difficult to keep your mouth shut when you know you're about to post something that hasn't happened on the show yet.
I searched "spoilers enigma" and came up with several threads bitching about him posting TWD spoilers in nonspoiler threads. Hell, in one you even distanced yourself from it/him ("I just want to say I had nothing to do with that" or something like that you said). He's read the comics, he's been in all the spoiler threads, and yet he's still in here talking about future shite.
In this thread alone he mentions:
quote:
Now Shane is gonna lose his f*cking mind again and try and kill Rick.
quote:
Shane is trying to get Rick to him self.. and have another "Otis moment"
quote:
The guy at the CDC told Rick that they can come back alive as zombies even if they have never been bitten.
The "virus" is now inside us all.. and regardless how you die (of natural causes) you will become a zombie.
quote:
Shanes comes back as a walker?
Carl finally mans up?
All of those were posted before they happened onscreen. I'm not saying he knew all of them were gonna happen definitely, but with his track record of posting spoilers and the fact that he's read the comics and the spoiler threads, he shouldn't be posting shite before it happens. He knows about the virus and how it happens (per the comics). He knows about "Carl being a badass" (from the comics). He knows Shane dies. At the hands of Rick. And that he comes back as a zombie (comics/spoiler threads). Etc. The Jenner/CDC thing hasn't happened yet, but if it does it will be another example. But none of that shite had happened yet, and he's posting it and playing it off as "I'm speculating just like you guys are.." which is pure bullshite.
But that's just my opinion though...maybe I am off on that(?).

I think Rick was out there for a little while with dead Shane "mourning" just having killed his one time best friend. They weren't that far from the house either.

Definitely this. He just so happened to get bailed out by zombie Shane. And agreed that a "Dad, look out" or "Dad, turn around" or something like that would've been helpful.

Bull shite.
You've done this before. You've read the comics and are all up in the spoiler threads (you've already been posting in the finale spoiler thread). Then you come in these threads and try to play off shite you've seen as "speculation." This isn't the first time you've done this, but you'll have to be fricking banned if you keep doing it.
You already knowing what's gonna happen and posting that shite in these discussion threads isn't speculation, you dick. It's spoiling shite intentionally for people who don't want to know that kinda shite. fricking cut that shite out and stop being a bitch.

He was freaked out man. He's not a seasoned gunslinger like his pop. Plus he's just seen the killing of a guy that was basically his uncle. It probably took all his concentration to pull off that killshot.

I don't see Hershel living much longer. It looks like they are fleeing the farm next week and Hershel doesnt seem ready to leave. I don't see any of his family living except Maggie and she looked like she may not in the previews. Rick needs Hershel for his baby though so maybe he saves him somehow.
I'm pulling for Carl and Lori to get eaten since they are the dumbest people on the show at this point.

Maybe. But he had the gun on Rick before Shane ever got up. And he saw him coming. Even if you're freaked out, that's your dad...I'd think anybody would say something to help out their dad in that situation. But Carl apparently has a tendency to keep his mouth shut when he should be telling people shite.
"Darryl, sorry I took your gun."
"Hey, guys...I saw a walker in the woods."
"I talked to Randall and he told me about his group."
Etc.

I hope they didn't foreshadow him dying in the preview for next week.

Good point Well I think the arguments, both ways, are pretty strong. The good thing is that apparently the writers are very forthcoming with explanations and answers in their interviews so I'm sure we'll get a definitive answer soon enough.

That's the blonde daughters boyfriend. She made a comment the other week about "I dated him for 3 weeks, and then the zombies come and now I'm supposed to be married to him?"
