This was a great episode, I absolutely loved the story telling and lead up going on over the last few episodes.

Think back two or three episodes and the lone walking in the field, so clear now that it was foreshadowing of Shane. It was great how they "slowly" introduced the idea in the last half of last nights episode after he offs Randal and smacks his face into the tree. He was all bloody so now his face looked like a walker. The way he was stumbling through the bush with Rick, his breathing and body motions. Then into the open field, with the moon and fog (what a cool looking scene) Shane then dies and rises again as the lone walker in the field.

All of that combined lead up to the most dramatic conflict resolution the series has had to date.

I applaud the screenplay and writers for the way it was all presented.

Now onto the Zombie horde, I think that they just happened to be near the farm at the time, think back to the highway scene where they were just cruising along like a band of teenagers off to Chinook mall, no real aim or mission, just going.

I think that this was a similar case, that horde happened to be near enough to hear the gunshot(s) Carl and Shane's gun, and are now in main character eating mode.
EDIT: beaten by Kybosh on this view point

I think the season actually ended with this episode and the zombie attack in the "season finale" is just set up for next year. They will offload probably a lot of characters. I will predict the episode to end in cliffhanger fashion with Lori in a precarious situation which we will have to wait until October to find out her fate. The season opener will quickly finish the cliffhanger and the remaining few will flee the overtaken farm.

I do not think that we will find out what Ricks knows about the infections (via Shane rising and the CDC whisper) until the start of season 3, but IMO it has to do with the way the infection in spread, i.e. DON'T BURN THE BODIES! (In fact was Rick around when the bodies were burned at the farm?)

I do hope that they pay homage to the "zombie genre" and have a few scenes of everybody inside the farm house surrounded by Z's trying to get in.

And lastly I hope that at least one Zombie utters "Brains" at some point.
