is The Walking Dead's Shane a good or bad guy?

does anybody out there watch The Walking Dead on AMC?

Chastity and i began watching the show last season. i think Chastity started watching it for the zombies and i started watching it for the pretentious feeling that you receive from watching an AMC show. we used to watch the show every Sunday and although we slacked off a little bit this year, we were able to catch up on all the episodes this week due to the fact that neither of us has to work until next year.

after 13 episodes of this zombie-obsessed show, i have only one question: is Shane a good guy or a bad guy?

Shane's good guy credentials are top notch. he's a cop, a provider and he's helped keep his crew safe.

in the seven episodes that have aired this season, however, he also killed an innocent man in an effort to save his own life, he constantly argued that his group should move on from its quest to find one of his traveling partner's daughters, threatened to kill the group's resident old man and he got a bad haircut. then there was that whole let's-kill-all-the-zombies-in-the-barn-of-the-people-who-are-lettering-us-stay-on-their-land-even-though-the-landlord-dude-specifically-told-us-to-not-kill-zombies-on-his-land-and-leave-that-barn-alone-because-it-contained-the-zombie-remains-of-his-wife-and-stepson-and-the-aforementioned-girl-that-the-group-was-looking-for.

Shane's performance this season also came a year after he was sleeping with his best friend's wife, tried to rape the aforementioned wife and thought about killing the aforementioned best friend. after getting shot down by the aforementioned wife, Shane also beat up an abusive member who was in his group, which could be considered something to be put on "good guy" sheet since the guy was an abusive jerk or the "bad guy" sheet since the husband and father of one was then rendered ineffective when the zombies attacked the camp a few episodes later and killed him.

so i don't know if Shane is a good guy or a bad guy. either way, i wish that he would just kill that Andrea chick because i can't stand her.
