"I was looking through for the latest consequence that had just come out and the possessor of the comic book shop came up to me and said, 'I see you're checking out The Walking Dead," she stated. "It's astonishing.' I said, 'Yeah, I'm a huge fan.' And he said, 'You know they're making a idiot box testify for AMC. It's supposed to be really good.' I kind of looked at him and I froze. I only went, 'I'll keep an center out for it.' And I ran out of the store."[4]

In the comics, Kirkman resolved the love triangle between Lori, Shane, and Rick very quickly, but in the Boob tube show, he decided to spend more fourth dimension exploring this relationship.[v]

Callies was in favor of Lori dying while in the prison, just like the comic character. In an interview, she stated, "I argued that it was necessary to kill Lori and I experience very strongly that for all of the other deviations we may take from the comic book, killing Lori does something to Rick that is vital for the story and can't be done any other way."[half dozen]

Reception [edit]

Critical reception [edit]

Sarah Wayne Callies' performance received mixed reviews while the character of Lori received generally negative reviews.

Regarding the television adaptation of the character, Lori received generally negative reviews, with Sarah Wayne Callies' performance receiving a mixed response from critics.

Society, Zack Handlen criticized the character'southward opposing views on the matter, and stated that their reasoning was invalid. Handlen wrote. "I'm not fifty-fifty sure it would be possible for her to arrest the pregnancy at this bespeak, only the show's working on the supposition that having a child in a world where death literally lurks effectually every corner is an unequivocal skilful. The simply person who's been anti-pregnancy is Lori, and the show hasn't managed to cast her in a very good calorie-free, then information technology'south not similar her arguments hold much water—which is also ridiculous, because ultimately, her opinion is the only ane that matters."[vii] HitFix author Alan Sepinwall reflected similar thoughts, and stated that Rick's arguments against Lori's attempts were obsolete.[8]

The love triangle involving Lori, Rick, and Shane, however, was commended. Meslow felt that the interactions between Lori and Rick possessed "equally much rawness and honesty as could be hoped for."[nine]

Commentators criticized the graphic symbol evolution of Lori Grimes in the episode "Nebraska". Eric Goldman for IGN was angry upon viewing the crash sequence, avowing that it stunted any development intended for the scene. He stated, "The Walking Dead really needs to piece of work on strengthening its female characters, and it doesn't help when Lori has a major blow for such a stupid reason, getting distracted as she looked at a map while she drove. Yes, yep, there was a zombie in the road, but it could accept been an animal [...] just as easily, and information technology really undercut the intended drama of her situation when information technology just seems and so stupid that it happened at all."[x] Zack Handlen for The A.V. Club thought that the foundation set up for furthering the storyline progression was contrived,[11] while Aaron Rutkoff of The Wall Street Journal said that the premise of the dilemma made no sense.[12]

Her character, Lori, basically tells Rick that Shane needs to be put downward, and then treats him similar a monster when he'southward forced to follow through with information technology."[15]

The fates of Lori and the character of T-Dog in the episode "Killer Within" garnered favorable reviews from television commentators. According to HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall, the moment when Lori and Carl share their goodbyes was the most heartbreaking consequence since the ending of the second-season episode "Pretty Much Dead Already".[16] Los Angeles Times columnist Laura Hudson felt it was a grim departure for a character who endured long bouts of grief for reasons across her control.[17] Erik Kain from Forbes found Lori'south death especially hard to picket, and was shocked by T-Dog's "sudden" death despite the fact that he "was never as prominent a figure" on the program. "As difficult as these deaths were to watch," Kain wrote, "they also give me organized religion in the evidence."[eighteen] Though he stated that T-Domestic dog died "a hero'south death", Michael Rapoport of the Wall Street Periodical concluded that Lori's "gut-churning" demise was the more memorable.[19]

Journalist Chris Kirk said that the segment was "utterly surprising", and pointed out that the writers beguiled viewers by shedding light onto Lori'due south crumbled human relationship with Rick.[21] In contrast, Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club in his review felt the episode "stumble[d]" in how [...] Lori [was] eliminated and in how the Woodbury storyline repeated what was already known. Handlen commented in his B+ review that "killing [...] Lori earned the show an immediate thrill, merely it as well meant crossing off [a] potential source[...] of drama, [someone] who had a history on the series, nevertheless thin or poorly developed that history might have been."[22]

Sarah Wayne Callies' performance in the episode was unanimously praised, however. IGN writer Eric Goldman commended Callies[23] Sepinwall added that Callies "absolutely sold" the portrayal of a mother saying "goodbye to the son who had to grow upwardly much too speedily".[8]
