![]() In the aftermath, the survivors are scattered, but most eventually reunite on the road - another well-handled sequence that manages to be uplifting, rather than saccharine. What is surprising is that the siege on Hershel's farm only takes up the first half of the episode. Though given the double whammy of Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) and Shane's deaths, it's perhaps unsurprising that Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman was indulging in a little hyperbole when he promised us major deaths in this finale. With all this action and emotion, the only thing 'Beside the Dying Fire' is really lacking is a significant character death - Jimmy (James Allen McCune) and Patricia (Jane McNeill) were never anything more than background characters. The viewer can't help but feel for Andrea (Laurie Holden) as she's cut off from the others, or for Hershel as he watches his family home burn to the ground. The destruction of the farm, and the group being torn apart, is also surprisingly moving. We're treated to a number of fist-pumping moments - a shotgun-wielding Hershel (Scott Wilson) defending his farm, Glenn (Steven Yeun) exerting some authority and taking charge, Daryl (Norman Reedus) riding to Carol's rescue, and more. Given all the internal conflicts we've been witness to in the past, it's strangely heartening to see the group working together as a team against the oncoming threat. The siege then begins in earnest, with a string of exhilarating and intense action sequences - Rick goads the walkers into the barn, before incinerating them, while the other survivors arm up and blow the flesh-eaters away. Considering events from earlier in the season, there's a nice irony to the pair being trapped there, with walkers trying to get in! As an opening sequence, it's effective as hell.īefore Rick can explain to Carl (Chandler Riggs) how Shane (Jon Bernthal) died, the walkers are on top of them, leaving father and son trapped in the barn. The inevitable finally occurs in the season two finale, as dozens upon dozens - possibly hundreds - of walkers shuffle and stalk closer and closer to the farm, just in time to hear Carl's gunshot. Nowhere's ever really safe in The Walking Dead, so it was inevitable from the moment that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and chums rocked up at Hershel's home that the farm wouldn't be long for this world. With the farm suddenly in jeopardy, the group finds themselves split up and fighting to survive. Following Rick and Shane's fateful clash, an army of walkers descends. It's also worth mentioning that She looks more angry and determined in the beta diorama, rather than afraid and helpless in the final version.This Week. This is also implied by the position she is holding her arm in. It's been speculated that this is most likely because she would have been shot by Winston instead of getting bitten by the dog. In the beta diorama for All That Remains, Clementine has more blood seeping out of her arm than in the final version. A user from the Telltale forums named SargeantMario101 made side by side comparisons of all of the dioramas for Season 2, which can be found here for easy viewing Someone managed to save all of them before they were removed.
