Honestly, Shane is one of the best characters in the Walking Dead. This episode is a testament to Bernthal's great contribution to the series. This episode dives right into the rising antagonism between Rick and Shane. It's the ultimate friendship downfall story that reaches a climax like no other. These kinds of stories are certainly more interesting that watching the writers come up with bigger and badder antagonists as the series progresses. There is a lot of gratuitous violence that transpires that ultimately means very little to the viewer without a meaningful back story. I really liked the depth this episode has.
