He stabs the zombie apart, delves into its stomach, then spends some time making imaginary phone calls in the basement. Despite the face that things weren't going great for them, Rick is understandably upset, especially as he finds his wife's body has been eaten by a walker.
Thus begins Rick's 'beige shirt descent into madness' phase.Ī few episodes later, Lori dies in the process of giving birth. Rick, clearing the tunnels, machetes a prisoner who 'accidentally' swings for him. The walkers now pose no threat to the group of hardened zombie-killers.
Deciding against eating dog food to survive, they clear a prison as a single, efficent unit. Taking his son to Hershel's farm, Rick displays obsessive levels of dedication by insisting he alone provides the juice for Carl's endless blood transfusions - a sign of the lengths Rick will go to in order to protect those close to him.Īfter escaping the firey, zombie-infected detritus of Hershel's farm, Rick gathers the surivors and steps up to inform them 'this isn't a democracy anymore', spawning a thousand ' Ricktatorship' memes.Īfter weeks in the wilderness, Rick and co are looking feral and hungry. To top off an already bad day, Carl The Kid goes and gets himself shot. When Carol's daughter Sophia runs off into the woods, Rick is the man to try and save her, sparking the show's most tedius storyline to date. Things don't go well for the group at the start of season two. As season one ends, Rick is still a hero. When the group is attacked and later finds itself locked in the CDC, it's Rick who steps up as their leader, learning confidential info from government scientist Dr Jenner and ultimately saving the lives of the group. His mission to return to Atlanta and collect the back of guns he dropped before doesn't sit well with his wife, but Rick puts the 'greater good' over his wife - a precursor to the larger group becoming a family in later seasons. The remaining episodes of season one's limited run pass with Rick generally being a 'nice guy' and looking out for the group. Thankfully all these ‘feelings’ are set aside when the duo are called out to a gunfight with a car-full of bandits… Rick, we learn, is upset that his marriage isn’t going to plan, but while Shane’s view of women is a bit 'Don Draper', Rick seems genuinely hurt that his wife can sometimes be cruel. It all starts with Rick as a straight-laced sheriff’s deputy talking women with best friend and fellow deputy Shane Walsh. Here’s a look at how Rick went to clean-cut do-gooder to homicidal tyrant (via bearded woodsman) over the space of five seasons. Basically, if you thought Breaking Bad was over, think again it’s just been re-packaged with zombies. The days of clean-cut deputy sheriff Grimes are long gone - over five seasons Rick's slowly become the zombie apocalypse's anti-hero, despite finally getting back into a police officer's uniform again. Having your wife eaten by zombies, killing your best friend and having to save your family from cannibals can't be that much fun, especially if you're Rick Grimes who, days away from the season five finale of The Walking Dead, has never looked worse off.
