Lori was tolerable through the last half of season 2 but this final episode definitely pushed her back to my hate list. How can any person in their right mind not see that Shane held a gun to Rick's head? Why would there be any question of Rick's decision in the case? I swear Carl and Lori have been the biggest obstacles in this series so far. In fact, if it weren't for Carl I really think they would have avoided significant calamity.
Was she? Freaking losing Carl everytime. Crashing a car like an idiot. Planting the idea in Rick's head that Shane is crazy and needs to be gotten rid of. Reigniting Shane's ideas to take Rick's place after he seemed to be moving on.

Lori didn't plant that. She brought it to Rick's attention. That shit was true regardless.
As far as "reigniting" Shane - that's his problem. I saw it as she felt bad for Shane (god knows why) and wanted to apologize. You know because rape attempt and psycho shit aside Shane is a damn human being too.
Lori isn't as bad as people make her out to be imo. She's doing the best she can. I'd like to see some of you people operate correctly in a zombie apocalypse situation.
yeah lori needs to go. I wonder if she could have been more sympathetic if not written so poorly. when s1 started; I thought the actress was quite attractive and would gain a following. Then she acted and the dialogue spewed out of her mouth; and btw her stupidity and carl's stupidity; both her and her hellspawn needs to become zombie chow like yesterday.
reading this; I just think back to the gaming side and how everyone is like "zombies are passe"; they're in everything now when reading threads about red dead zombies + yakuza zombie game.

I'll give the finale this. This spent a lot of money on those extras + zombie makeup. There was a couple busloads of extras dressed up as zombies. Quite literally where I think they funnelled the budget for the season. I mean, nothing else cost any money.

Also according to Talking Dead, in the finale the outdoor temp was such that you could see the actors' breath so they had to digitally remove it from the zombie actors since zombies don't breathe. Not sure how much trouble that involved, but glad they took the time and effort to account for that.
My wish for Season 3 is for the baby to die before it's born, turn into a zombie fetus, and eat it's way out, killing Lori in an agonizing, horrific way.
I think a big part of the problem with Lori is that too often she has been just a vehicle for theme/story the writers want on any given day, as opposed to being an actual consistent character.

Great episode. Damn had no idea they were gonna have a fucking ninja on the show? That character looks badass. Was anyone else hoping the grey haired lady was killed by zombies? I was kinda pissed when she got away and the blonde was left behind. Just don't like her character at all. How long will the wait be until season 3?

I agree, shes an idiot, always making trouble and getting others into trouble. Your right though, Shane was finally accepting it and moving on and she goes ahead and tells him she cares for him.....
Lori is a Plot Whore. Anything the plot wants her to do, she does it. Lose Carl? fine. Lady Macbeth? fine Freak out about Shane? fine. She gets down on her knees and does whatever the plot wants her to do. Shameless.
They probably figured they could easily cut the budget this season since it didn't need as high a budget. This whole arc in the comic was not any different and didn't really have much to splurge budget on. If anything, the show went beyond the comics with the amount of stuff they did. Next season though has some stuff that will require more budget if they follow the books.

Sad to see such genuine hatred in this thread for Lori... She's one of the most sympathetic characters in the book and even in the show, her actions aren't that crazy. Taking in everything she's been through and the culmination of her son not really being her son anymore and the fact that she's fighting just to have a normal life (as futile as that is)...

My guess is that they'll start S3 very softly, sans (maybe) for some Andrea/Michonne hijinks. Unless the prison is overrun with zombies, but then... what would be the point?
Edit: A flashback episode explaining what happened in the prison would be the tits.
I think she was angry at Rick because she realised Shane had just as much of a chance of being the father of her unborn child as Rick was. But that's not Rick's fault.
According to Mazzara/Kirkman on Talking Dead, Lori was mainly mad at herself for screwing up. But AMC, did have a poll asking if Lori was right to be mad at Rick.

She's mad at herself for what happened between Rick and Shane, since she feels like she's the cause of it all. She's also mad at herself for letting Carl get out of the house on her watch and being put in a situation to kill someone.
I don't think she's angry at Rick besides him losing his shit a bit. That speech he gave her about it being entirely avoidable but he let it happen probably scared her too.
ah yes, of course. The parental unit that is basically playing den mother (for her group, in pretty much everything they could possibly need) and loses grasp of her own motherly responsibilities. I get that she should be watching her son, but Carl has already been proving to be a lot more "grown up" (or at least the attitude) in the situation. So she's already lamenting the idea that she's lost her kid to the evils of the world, the fact that she's having to deal with Carol's mourning mother, Rick's "I don't know what to do attitude" (at least until last night), Shane's completely demented outlook and actions, then bringing in a new child into a world that is so full of complete shit that the very action of bringing a child into the world already is a bad idea.
She's got a lot of shit on her plate. Her actions during this entire ordeal haven't been completely odd at all. I don't know anyone that would function properly. Maybe the fact that Michonne is coming into play (and then
andrea becoming a badass hopefully
) will hopefully cool down all the hatred of the women in this show in that she'll embolden the other women to be as strong or even stronger than her.
That will have to wait till season 3 tho of course.
