THE WALKING DEAD 2X7 REACTION/ DISCUSSION

[@therealmccoy6097]

Ive never once heard anybody ever take the side of hershel. Yall wild for this

[@jjkilhij9531]

This is the show’s first midseason finale (ever season after s1 is split into a part A and B,) and they made sure this one hit! Shane’s freakout (he wasn’t completely wrong…just going about his point in the WORST way possible 😂) and Sophia walking out the barn are absolutely iconic 🙏🏾

[@AtypicalReactions]

Good to know! This episode felt like a finale. You're right, Shane wasn't wrong. But I hated how he had no regard for Hershel's wishes. And to find out Sophia was in there. Heartbreaking.

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

They stopped shooting because they were shocked, lol. That's a little girl, one that they were hoping was still alive. So yeah, it took a minute to sink in...but Rick stepped up, like always.

[@melissagilby3959]

I do agree that it’s Hershel’s farm and they don’t have a right to tell him what to do! However he’s obviously misguided and doesn’t realise the very real threat! Shane just goes about things all the wrong way 😅 The “enough” scene is one of my all time favourites of the show, along with this whole episode! Amazing acting from everyone and so well done! Greatest show ever! 🧟‍♀️

[@stephwest1382]

I've been addicted to this show since day one. Never missed an episode. This is truly a heart breaking one. Im ready for more

[@jugogaming]

Rick is being considerate you have to see from his point of view, he wasn’t butting into Hershel’s business like everyone else, he repeatedly told everyone that they have to follow Hershel’s rules

[@AtypicalReactions]

We agree. It wasn't Rick. He tried to be respectful of Hershel's wishes.

[@Phyllis-ki2xo]

One of the saddest episodes in the entire series. Seeing Walker Sophia walk out of that barn and Daryl holding back a devastated Carol is heartbreaking. Rick putting Sophia down makes me cry every time I see it.

[@dravenquinn264]

This is when Rick becomes the official leader Shane couldn’t step up when he saw Sophia and Rick did.

[@trizard3940]

Very true as much as Shane will do what it takes to keep the group safe rick is definitely the leader they need

[@brittanylewandowski6200]

What the body language analyst do this scene. He says this all proves Shane was the true leader at this point.

[@trizard3940]

@@brittanylewandowski6200 yes Ik exactly what ur talking about in fact I was the one that suggested he did that video but Rick is still a better leader overall. Shane definitely was the leader of s2 for awhile but he wasn't the leader they needed

[@treythegreatwhite]

See it’s ppl like you who say that and then there’s other ppl who say Shane only cared about Lori and Carl. He couldn’t put her down because he cared a lot for her. Rick left her in the woods

[@WHITEYY18LOVER]

You're the first reactors that I've watched that see Hershel's side of things.❤ LOVE your reactions. I can't wait for you guys to watch the second half of this season!!!!

[@AtypicalReactions]

🙏🏾❤️

[@b00jen81]

Yeah I was so impressed, because most people will always go along with what the protagonists in a show think, not stopping to consider all the intricacies or whether they're right or wrong. I love reactors who question/speak their mind instead! ☺❤

[@brittanylewandowski6200]

Seeing Hershels side of things is idiotic and unsafe. He was putting everyone including his own family in danger with that barn. he had to learn they were dangerous and dead. Not alive and sick. He compared it to AIDS for gods sake.

[@AtypicalReactions]

@brittanylewandowski6200 but also, people act like Rick and his group just showed up and saved the day. Didn't Rick show up with a shot son that got saved by Hershel. Also, is having a baby a smart move at this time. I'm gonna say no. Nobody has to be idiotic. It's just people adjusting and doing the best they can under insane circumstances.

[@kurlykyrie]

I get it was Hershel’s land, but the main point is that walkers are dangerous. If they didn’t shoot the walkers coming out of the barn, what could they have done? They would have eaten them (Hershel’s people included), so they protected them. & Even if Rick’s people left, eventually one of Hershel’s family members would’ve end up dead. Hershel had his ways & beliefs, but they were ignorant beliefs only bc he hasn’t experienced what was REALLY going on in the world outside his land. It was like they were in a bubble. So yes, at the end, Shane definitely went about it the wrong way, however he wasn’t wrong in what needed to be done which was get rid of the zombies. However, Shane has to go too bc he’s psycho 🤣🤣

[@AtypicalReactions]

You're right. You can't store walkers in a barn. It's dangerous. If they were to get out, they would all be dead. Hershel has to realize that his loved ones are gone. But the way Shane went about it was wrong. You can't talk or reason with him. Shane is going to do what he wants to do.

[@kurlykyrie]

@@AtypicalReactions agreed, Shane is a like a wild dog you can’t train, that needs to be put down 😭😂

[@taydagoat6640]

@@AtypicalReactionsI think the way shane went about it was not at all wrong . They’ve been ignoring him the entire time about it. So the way to make them listen was to MAKE THEM LISTEN. I thank him for that because he gave them a reality check. It’s tough love. You can tell he cares because when Sofia came out his head went down. At the same time tho ever since then Hershel has been living in reality & surviving . All of them. Shane was indeed crazy😂 but that type of crazy was absolutely NEEDED for the group at this time. He said nothing wrong & did nothing wrong .

[@dravenquinn264]

This was the episode in TWD that viewers realized that this was not a horror show about killing zombies This was a drama show about human struggles even in the Apocalypse.

[@dravenquinn264]

This episode was extremely heartbreaking for so many people it was a lot of people’s first moments realizing that The Walking Dead does not mess around.

[@AtypicalReactions]

Indeed.

[@tinad7484]

I understand Hershel being annoyed with strangers on his property, becoming too comfortable. However, he is naive. The barn will eventually be too full and get over run. This will lead to the death of his family. His daughter Beth walked up to her mother and was almost killed because Hershel couldn't see they were dead and dangerous. Not having weapons on the property was the perfect time to practice killing with knives. Shane is a hot head, but he's not wrong about the barn being dangerous. They've just been lucky so far. They need Rick as the leader because he is willing to act in the moment when necessary, but his willingness to find a solution to benefit everyone is an asset. He's not just out for whatever is best for his family. He wants what's best for everyone.

[@_LexiMae]

The most ironic part of this whole episode is Rick was the only one who had the balls to shoot Sophia in the head. Yes, they were all in shock, but considering how much Shane talks about his ability to keep Lori and Carl safe and about how they needed to kill all the walkers in the barn, you'd think he wouldn't have hesitated to pull the trigger. The truth is, if it weren't for Rick, they wouldn't have made it this far. There are a lot of people who claim Shane is right, but it pays to have some humility at times, which we all know Shane is not capable of. Just because Rick had a different approach doesn't mean he's wrong.

[@AtypicalReactions]

It was that very moment that solidified Rick as the leader for me.

[@brittanylewandowski6200]

Shane was right and shane has a lot of humanity. Saying he doesn't is just stupid. Rick wouldn't even be alive if not for Shane. The zombies at the hospital would have eaten him if not for Shane.

[@_LexiMae]

@@brittanylewandowski6200 puh-leeze don't make me laugh...Shane only cares about himself. Rick is alive because of pure luck. Shane immediately pointed a gun at him with the intentions of blowing his brains out when he came back from the dead. He just put the stuff in front of the door, so he didn't have to feel bad about it.

[@AtypicalReactions]

@_LexiMae we're watching the same show you're watching, because EXACTLY 🤣🤣🤣

[@AtypicalReactions]

@brittanylewandowski6200 I think you're forgetting about the attempted murder on Rick and the attempted SA on Lori. Shane did both of those things. Not for the greater good. For Shane.

[@msmssy8035]

You cooked on this episode…story of America. Facts.

[@b00jen81]

FOR REAL for real! I was already loving these two, but they really won me over with that commentary! 🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait to hear what they have to say thru out this entire journey

[@JustCrash]

“Keep that same energy” exactly, Shane was so upped on his ego he thought he was right. Now that he’s facing an ex member that turned into a walker, he won’t do it. That is hypocrisy at its finest. If that was Carl, he wouldn’t even lift his gun.

[@AtypicalReactions]

He wouldn't budge!

[@mask8961]

Agree, even here in 2024, there are A LOT of people that believe their "Entitled" . Like the law or rules don't apply to them. When they make a mistake, they get mad and blame everyone but themselves. I could give examples, but the list is to long. Very frustrating and annoying to witness EVERY day. 😢 Shane is a "loose cannon" and mentally unstable. I would have encouraged him to move on or he would have had a "hunting" accident with Daryl. 😒🙊🙉🙈

[@AtypicalReactions]

@@mask8961 Indeed.

[@dravenquinn264]

I love this episode the ending is so important because it’s the struggle of leadership between Rick and Shane as Shane says Rick isn’t build for this world but then by the end of the episode Rick takes full leadership of the group by killing Sophia and doing what no one else in the group could do not even Shane Awesome reactions Jarreau And Jannell can’t wait for the next one.

[@AtypicalReactions]

Thank you. 🙏🏾😊

[@dravenquinn264]

Definitely still one of the most groundbreaking twists in TWD history.

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

Wow, I can't believe you guys are still seeing it like this. Hershel is lucky, very lucky, that Rick and his group are there. If I was Rick, I'd be the exact same way. The walkers in the barn are dangerous and need to be done away with, they are NOT Hershel's family. It ain't like it was before, the rules of the old world don't exist anymore.

[@rhetoricalmode1917]

Right? They'll be clued in soon, I hope...

[@donnabertolotti8954]

I finally found you guys again 😂 I’ve been trying to find the channel since I last watched season 4 episode 2 of stranger things 😭😭 I wanted to recommend that you guys watch ‘school spirits’ it’s so good and only 8 episodes! I think you both would really enjoy it.

[@AtypicalReactions]

Thanks for the recommendation! We'll definitely check it out. 😊

[@dravenquinn264]

And this is where everyone started to see Rick as the leader Shane broke the doors but wouldn’t raise his gun to Sophia Rick did He took that responsibility so no one else would have to have that guilt In my opinion anyway Shane was a necessary evil yes but he made a situation and then couldn’t follow through on it Rick cleaned up the mess caused by Shane’s actions.

[@kimberleyrichardson3855]

Please keep watching and your minds open. Everything is not what you see and you will have a stroke if you don’t keep your mind open having to go all the way to Season11, episode 24. This is a new world and we are educated with each experience.

[@AtypicalReactions]

You're right about that. We're learning. 😊

[@dravenquinn264]

Jon Bernthal (Shane) stole the show in this episode Incredible acting.

[@AtypicalReactions]

We were so angry with him by the end. Lol. He did an incredible job.

[@dravenquinn264]

Heartbreaking episode But notice how Rick was the one to step up in the end and show he’s the real leader.

[@PicklesandAlex]

Here is where it got real. Nobody is off limits. Not even kids.

[@AtypicalReactions]

Indeed.

[@trizard3940]

I mean Comon u gotya feel bad for shane the guy is being denied of his own child theres no hiding it its HIS CHILD. Also property doesn't exist in this world i mean like the rules don't apply so shane is right but in a moral sense hes wrong for doing what he did. But to be fair id do the same thing as shane the exact same way imagine u have everyone in ur group hate u and they think ur a monster and that includes ur best friend. Not to mention the women he loves and yes it was screwed up what he did behind ricks back but its just as much of loris fault as it is shanes also the CDC thing was unacceptable and shane is crazy for that but i mean hes losing his mind because everyone treats him like dirt when hes done more for the group then anyone and his kid isn't his

[@brittanylewandowski6200]

He didn't do it behind ricks back. He thought rick was dead.

[@BryanMcdonough-gl9hm]

Rip Sophia gone to soon, she was supposed to survive to the end of the show, Shane did the right thing by opening the Barn, if he hadn’t opened the barn they would have never found Sophia

[@moward4964]

Hello 👋 Another awesome video, 👍👍 I personally think since Lori and Rick (if he agrees with Lori, since he did not say anything to the contrary when Lori says it), have no way of knowing who the father is, they should be adult enough to have Rick and Shane share fatherhood, with her telling him even if it is his, it is not going to be his, was wrong on so many levels and with how Shane has been acting a bit more psychotic by the day this could have quite a negative affect, If they did choose the father sharing option, it just might settle him down knowing he did not lose everything or….. it could still backfire, with that said, Lori did not tell Rick everything, she left out the part about Shane trying to rape her at the CDC, which is another strike against him. My only ‘what the h***’ moment, is how Shane continues to think he is the big man on campus and just had to open that barn up, but was not man enough to finish the job when Sophia walked out, Rick being a real man had to do it for him, 😏 Part of me wishes Dale had shot Shane, the other is glad he remained true to his beliefs, 🙂 RIP Sophia, 😪 On to the next one, 👍🙂

[@brittanylewandowski6200]

They do have a way of knowing though. Ricks only been back a 7-10 a pregnancy test wouldn't show up positive until 10-14 days after conception.

[@dabnailz5805]

the way Shane runs to that barn will forever be the funniest shit I ever did see. 😂😂😂 Shane is WILD. BUT had they never did that they would have never known she was in there. Thats the hard truth of all this. OOOOH I cant wait till next season. love yall reactions.

[@AtypicalReactions]

We were so mad at Shane! But if he didn't do it, we wouldn't have ever known. Smh. 😔

Hershel didn’t know she was in the barn… Otis used to round up the Walkers and he put her in there… and he was killed by Shane before he could tell them…

[@AtypicalReactions]

Thanks for confirming this. I didn't want to believe Hershel knew Sophia was in the barn.
