i was thinking since she changed her mind about dying, she just might now...

Carl will probably hand her a pistol

Maybe they will meet up with that other group outside of town.

I'm thinking so, but not until next season

or just shoot her himself... he seems to enjoy it now... little bastid

....once ya get a taste....

maybe there will be some hotter women in that group... with bigger boobs... and short skirts...

Carl is the most twisted mind on the show right now-so I think he stays. They never really developed Sophia's mother or T-Dog?-so I wouldn't mind seeing either of them go. I kind of want to see how good a shot Hershel is. I hope to see more of Daryl from now on since Shane is gone.

i think the blonde chick shane was doing is a very close second...she might start acting goofy soon too...

yeah - she seems to be the next rebel.

Sophia's mom has a bit of a relationship with Daryl so I don't think she will go unless they are trying to make him more distanced, although I like him as Rick's right hand man. T-Dog is expendable, they really haven't done much with him. The blonde girl that lost her sister was stuck between Shane and Dale so with both of them gone I think she becomes more of her own person. Hershel and Maggie are the only ones in that bunch that have really become important to the story. The younger daughter had her episode so they might not get rid of her, but I don't think anyone would mind seeing her go (aside from mightymoe). I think killing Dale and Shane, the 2 extremes of the group, left them more balanced so they will probably stick to killing off the less important people in the group.

season ender, i think it be Sophia's mom or glen. maybe more

I don't think they'd get rid of Glen; he seems to be a fan favorite and as he said himself, "a window for the audience".

It seems like a lot of people are happy to see Glen and Maggie together, so I doubt they'll off Maggie.

Hershel, as much as I love him, seems very devout on doing anything and everything to protect his farm, even if it means going down with the sinking ship. He is, without a doubt, one of my favorites, and I think he has honestly carried the whole season. He's been the most dynamic character and watching him progress into the absolute badass he is now has been extremely entertaining.

Andrea (blonde girl) is a bit of a wildcard. She's essentially the female and less sociopathic version of Shane, but she's also one of the most interesting characters. That being said, with all the aggression of losing her sister and now having Shane killed, who she was probably closest to, I wouldn't put it past her to go in a hail of gunfire.

Carl's safe because he's turning into Damien.

Daryl must live because Norman Reedus is the coolest thing on the show.

Everyone else can pretty much die as far as I'm concerned. I think it's pretty likely the farm is getting engulfed then deserted because they really can't keep them in such an enclosed environment for another season.

That's my unnecessarily detailed analysis.

I agree with you PP. Hershel is one of the more complex characters. Thinking Otis's wife should go too. Daryl needs a more visible role in coming episodes. Not long to wait now.

15 minutes

huh... so far, so good...

watch the talking dead, it's a new woman. they talk about her a little there.

Obviously the prison figures into the story somehow. Rick is now turning into a dictator and I have a feeling Andrea will learn from her new hooded female friend how to be an even bigger bad ***. Kind of glad I've never read the stories, so I can't be disappointed or anticipate a new character.

how many zombies are already in there? i'm sure they never let the prisoners out, so they had to of died and become zombies...but it would be like shooting fish in a barrel, if they wanted to waste the ammo. and they have back up generators in there too, so they might be able to get some power.

The season finale of AMC's zombie thriller “The Walking Dead” closed with a bloody battle, the introduction of a new character, and a feeding frenzy of searches on the Web.

Last night's Season 2 ender came to a dramatic conclusion with the surprise introduction of a sword-wielding woman (the better to slice off undead heads) who comes out of nowhere to save Andrea (Laurie Holden) from certain death by zombie.

The character, Michonne, has stepped into the show from the pages of Robert Kirkman’s “Walking Dead” comic series, and will be played next season by the “Treme” actress Danai Gurira. (Last night, the character was played by a stand-in.) The Iowa native born to parents from Zimbabwe has also been in episodes of "Lie to Me," "Law & Order," and "Life on Mars."

The mysterious figure appears as a Grim Reaper-style loner, in a hooded cloak and dragging along with her two jawless, armless zombies in chains. In short, this is the heroine the downtrodden survivors of the zombie apocalypse have been looking for.

And fans went looking for her online, too. Even though Michonne turns up only in the final moments of the episode, searches on the Web skyrocketed after her appearance. Viewers looked up “Walking Dead Michonne,” “The Walking Dead Finale,” and “The Walking Dead Michonne.”

Kirkman told the Hollywood Reporter that the arrival of the hooded heroine signals to viewers that the show is "transitioning into a new world" where the survivors are "faced with more adversaries, danger, and different kinds of threats" and added that Michonne is a "big part of that."

Season 3 will feature the new character along with British actor David Morrissey, who will play the villainous Governor; it'll also introduce the prison, which is a big setting in the comics and which we caught a glimpse of in the final shot of last night's episode. The series seems to be promising faster-paced action and major zombie drama.
