"Better Angels"

 

This is my most favorite, best episode of the entire series so far.

 

The "Shane vs Rick" alpha male showdown finally comes to a head. The "surprise" moment could've gone down a whole different way, but the storyline and the fans love Rick.  Truth be told, Shane would have been a much better leader.  He kept the group safe at all costs. I'll always be in the minority on that one.
 

From Shane's wiki page, "Shane better recognized the reality of the world after the zombie outbreak and was able to adapt to it in a more severe and arguably better way than other characters like Rick."

 

I miss Shane.
