Maybe I am crazy, but he makes more sense to me than the rest of the characters (except Hershel).

He thought he could kill Rick, who is his last and best friend, and Lori and Carl would just be his again and all that after he shot a guy who he didn't necessarily need to and then broke down in the bathroom while shaving his head. The ENTIRE point of the second season was watching him lose his mind. It's not some opinion some of us have, it's the entire driving narrative of his interactions with every single other character damn near this whole season. I'm not even trying to be a dick, just, it really is supposed to be that obvious to everyone and these writers are not what you'd call subtle.

Anyway, why did they even bother to do this? He answers only ten of the fourteen questions with an actual answer and the other ones are pointless anyway.

Will you deviate from the comics for Michonne, the Governor, the Prison, etc?
Yes, we have our own story to tell

If we are all infected, how did the people on the highway die in their cars?
Robert Kirkman answered this in Issue 95 of the comic.

I love it.

Fair enough. But to me, he got the meds to save Carl and Lori manipulated him at the end. And he was right about the barn full of zombies. I don't know, his actions doesn't strike me as that crazy given the premise they were in.

The point with the barn of zombies was that Rick tried to handle it in a way that kept them on the farm.

Shane might have wiped out the zombies in the barn, but what if it had got them kicked off the farm? He was hot headed and irrational and took out a minor threat even though the risk for doing so could have meant them on the road again.

Except, you know, plotting Rick's murder.
