I am extremely disappointed they didn't follow through with the end of Shane from the comics.

Two major differences that would make the show more enjoyable for hardcore fans (and probably alienate the mass audiences, which is why they didn't happen):

1) Rick is MUCH more hardcore/badass in the comic. Pretty much from the day he reunites with his family, he's willing to do whatever - and screw over whomever - to make sure his survives. That type of protagonist plays OK on an HBO/Showtime series. Not so much on regular cable.

2) Carl is, too. And HE FREAKING KILLS SHANE to protect his dad.
