Awesome clip! The only thing that I think could have made it better would have been a clip from the Shane vs Otis scene. For me that scene was a huge turning point. A former cop and a hero in the old world, and also a hero in the new world teams up with a stranger to try to save a young boys life. The selfless heroic mission takes an unexpected turn when the former "hero" decides to save himself by shooting his new partner and leaving him to be eaten alive by the zombies.

It wasn't just great character development for Shane but for mankind in general. Since then it seems that an ongoing theme has been about what horrible things people are capable of when faced with desperate sitiuations. They didn't all start from the same place as Shane but it seems as if characters like Phillip, Andrew, Allen etc. all took similar turns. Characters like Rick, Morgan, Michonne, Carl, and maybe even Glen seem to be at the early stages but still have hope. Characters like Daryl, Dale, Hershal, Milton, Tyrese, T-Dogg, and eventually Andrea try to avoid it all costs.

Speaking of Otis, I think he is one of the few places where the show did BETTER than the comics. Otis was basically a throw-away character in the comics, but is totally memorable in the show. He was used to show your point EXACTLY.

They are introducing Bob Stookey to the TV show? As a regular? Talk about obscure. I had actually totally forgot him.

I guess there is some human-interest potential with the character, and I will guess that he will be a composit of Stookey, Stevens and Alice. Fills a needed roll for Team Rick.

Its a good actor playing him though I am sure some will complain.



Please please make a James Bond movie with Idris Elba (like rumored) just so I can listen to some people bitch.

I also think they are planning on merging Alexandria and the Prison into a single location. That probably means that Douglas will either be ignored, or he will be a minor-ish character within the Woodbury refugees.

That could also mean that the crew that Rick killed at the bar will turn out to be a scout team for the Saviors.

without giving it away, has it been revealed whether he will have the same "issues" he has/had in the books

I have not heard anything about it outside of this article. I would assume, though, that is the entire point of his introduction, other than his similarities to Alice and Stevens.

It depends on where they go with the character. If they concentrate on the Alice/Stevens/Stookey merge, then people could complain that making him black makes him too different from the comics.

If they instead stay with just Stookey, then they could complain that it was racist to make him black.

Personally, I don't think that any part of the character/characters were dependent on race, so any conversation about it will be either racist, or injecting a racial complaint where it isn't needed.

JMHO
