Walking Dead: 18 Miles Out

     Okay, for the first time I am starting to get a little annoyed with The Walking Dead.  How much of Shane is rick going to put up with?  It seems like it is already long past the amount any of us would have taken.  Shane continues to be a loose cannon, all his behavior is out in the open, yet Rick still keeps him around.  I understand that it is part of the character they are trying to paint, that Rick is less willing to make the hard decisions and let people go, but his relationship with Shane has reached the point of absurdity.  No rational human would still be dealing with the psych, no matter what their history or friendship might be.  He slept with his wife, he shot a man and let him get eaten to save himself, he let out the barn zombies and shot them even though Rick told him not to, now he attacks Rick and tries to kill him.  I don't care how nice a guy you are or how much you are struggling to maintain humanity, you leave that guy in the bus to be eaten by zombies.  There is a lot I'm looking forward to in this show, but they have to resolve the Shane issue fast because I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that everyone would keep him around.
     Best moment of the episode... Rick killing a zombie by blasting through the head of a dead zombie laying atop him.  Very cool.
