History Awesome / TheWalkingDead

* Hershel telling Shane to shut up, saying that the only reason Shane's still on the farm is because Rick persuaded Hershel not to kick him off, but that he would if Shane pushed him any further.

* Rick quick drawing against the two creepy randoms from out of town. As soon as the first guy goes for his gun, Rick draws, shoots him in the head, turns and puts two in the big guy so fast he can only fire his shotgun in the air. Rick then finishes big guy off with a shot to the head.

''Season Two''

** What really makes the scene is ''how'' Shane demonstrates that the Walkers are dead, by repeatedly shooting one of the ones that Hershel is attempting to capture in what would be increasingly vital areas to a living human, almost screaming a demand to know why the Walker is still moving after every shot.

*** Especially to Atlanta natives. When was the last time you saw someone move that fast on I85, if at all?

* Shane finally breaks everyone out of their complacency in the mid-season 2 finale, showing Hershel that the Walkers are dead, killing all the zombies in the barn with the help of Glenn, T-Dog, Andrea, and Daryl, and [[spoiler: finally figuring out what happened to Sophia]]

** Earlier, when Shane is training Andrea to shoot a moving target, he angrily starts telling her that she needs to lock down her emotions or she'll never be able to make a clean shot. Andrea rebuts that he's losing control of his emotions too, so Shane draws, aims and bulls-eyes the swinging stump in less than a second.

** In the same episode, Andrea getting over her mental block regarding moving targets and mowing down several zombies until Shane has to yell at her that they can just leave now.

* Glenn gets one in the episode "Secrets", taking out a zombie solo with the help of a piece of store shelving.

** Just to elaborate, in 'Chupacabra' alone: [[spoiler: he falls off a cliff and gets impaled on a crossbow bolt, wakes up to see two zombies, beats one to death with a ''stick'', then pulls an arrow ''out of his own side'' and kills the other one.]]

* It seems like a pretty average zombie series until the last moments of the premiere when the hero, after getting surrounded by zombies because of his own stupidity (why were all those empty cars escaping the city?), hides in a tank. Over the radio, a voice says "Hey dumbass, you in the tank, are you feeling cozy now?" Music plays as it cuts to a camera above the tank moving up to show just how many zombies are around it.

* With his snarky attitude, cool head in intense situations, badass crossbow, and being ''just'' crazy enough to be useful in a zombie outbreak, Daryl has proven himself to be a HUMAN Of Awesome, including his actions in the episode "Chupacabra".

* In the No Way Out arc, Rick is holding of the zombies alone so that [[spoiler:Carl has a chance.]] He's being overwhelmed. Cut to each of the members of the group seeing him fighting alone, and each one of them going out to help fight them. [[spoiler:They win.]] In a series devoid of optimism, this doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* Lori's defense of Rick after some of the others start to question his leadership, asking if any of them think they could do a better job.

* Proving that even racist, dickheads can be awesome, Merle cuts off his own hand to escape, climbs, bleeding down the outside ladder then ''cauterizes his wound'' and finally makes it out of town. Double the awesome when [[FridgeBrilliance you realize he would have had to do this all quietly]] so as not to attract zombies.

* Glenn racing out of Atlanta in the sports car is certainly awesome.
