Shane and Lori were already evacuating to Atlanta. Neither of them could have cared for him. I think he was only out for a day or so at most. Maybe three depending on how many IV's he had running. Once those ran out hunger and thirst would have awoken him. Or pain if he had run out of Iv pain meds.

My guess is he came two a day or so after he was given up for dead. Then he just had to play catch up.

The human body could possibly survive for many weeks without food. But without fluids? A week at the most.

True, but how long do you think you could sleep with a gunshot wound? With no pain meds? Plus the body burns way more calories recovering from a traumatic injury. Than say someone holding a controlled fast. Thats the fun part about stories like this. Each person's unique imagination, can creates such differing, yet plausible explinations for so many differing outcomes

I dont think the pain from a gunshot wound would awake someone from a coma, I may be wrong but i imagine it to be very different to being asleep. as for calories I dont think it would be such an issue because the body can survive without food for a long time and the fact Rick is not moving at all means all his bodies resources are being used to heal his wounds. I think he would wake up a lot skinnier than Andrew Lincoln looked in the show though

As for the sticky situation of fluids as mentioned by Lars80 I imagine he has fluids being fed through a drip. they dont always run on electricity so its possible that it still continued to supply fluids even after the power went.

Ricks coma may have lasted around month but was that a month since the zombies or a month since he was admitted to hospital. I'm unsure myself.

Either way, there's no time for Lee's group to have run into Shane, unless they did it really quickly sometime in between Episode 1 and Episode 2.

[Funkknuckle]

Given the distances, the size of the groups, and the fact that they would be trying to avoid contact. However Macon isn't all that far From Atlanta. Maybe they somehow get a radio call from Glen. Then that way they could maybe briefly meet up with him, before he Glen joins TWD cast. That way there is a possibility for a meeting there maybe? Maybe work it so that a conflict with someone in Lee's group and Glen then, leading to him grouping with Shane? Maybe he was going to lead our group back to the quarry when he ran accross Rick, and what was left of his horse. He never gave back the radio. Maybe that's what he used to get ahold of rick in the Tank.

There are other Characters that I think would be better to have in the game than Shane, He only plays a smalll role in the story and although important in the beginning is less so as you get further through the story. Characetrs I'd like to see would be....
Andrea/amy
Dale
The Governor ( I think this is a possibility because of the cast of ep1 )
Would be interesting to see billy/ben running round playing together
Michonne..
etc

When Rick wakes up from the coma, he meets Morgan who tells him that all media has been shut down for weeks.. when he meets up with Glenn, or shall I say, when Glenn saves his ass in Atlanta, he asked him where he's been for the last month. When he's talking to Lori later at the camp, she says the hospital shut down less than a week after the outbreak occured. So I guess the rest is just speculation. But I'm sure I can safetly say we won't be seeing Shane in the game. I did however hear a little rumor that you might come across Woodbury. I'm sure anyone who's read the comics remembers Woodbury well! I think it'd be cool if they came across Woodbury after Rick's crew's been run out of the prison, just so we can see what's become of those pieces of sh*t! Hopefully it ain't nothin good! lol

Yeah I agree with the majority here that there is just no way in hell anyone is going to run into Shane (plus in the comics he was a pretty dull character anyway). However I am very worried that Telltale will just straight up softball 'The Governor'. If you've read the comics you know exactly what the Governor is capable of and exactly what he did to Michonne..I honestly don't think Telltale, despite the 'death scenes' has the stones to cross over into Woodbury territory. There are some part of the apocalypse that video games are too afraid to touch..even though comics ALWAYS deal with it.

[CapnJay]

Theres alot of issues TWDG wont deal with.

Episode 3: Long Road Ahead

After the events of "Starved for Help", the survivors may possibly encounter the infamous town of Woodbury and will, at one point, obtain the controls of a locomotive.

That's what TWD:TG Wiki says.

You already know the show won't touch the Governor-Michonne thing. And if they do it'll be nothing like the comic! If Lee's group does come across Woodbury it'd probably be early-on. Rick's group doesn't find Woodbury until around a year after the zombie outbreak. I guess we just have to wait to find out what they do!!!

p.s. How do I get a fancy signature thingy??

Well, the gunshot wound wont be causing pain over a long period of time unless it get infected. In this case it didnt. It was healing, and he was in a coma. I am guessing the doctors put him in that coma to allow his body to rest. So body was resting and not spending as much kcal. But that doesnt change the fluid situation. Perhaps a little bit but Rick was in bed, without assistance for a week. At most.

[Duck Zombie]

I kinda would be surprised if AMC didn't show The Governor, and Michonne. I don't think it can go into such gory details as the comic, but that has more to do with TV standards in general, and I kinda don't like to see living humans tortured as opposed to a few comic pages of it. I want our group to bump into Abraham,, or Merl.

Abraham, hmmm.. maybe... Merle... I heard he's gonna be in next season of the show.... think they'll make him in the Woodbury crew? Who knows what they'll do with the show... a lot of stuff has been waaaaay different (*possible spoilers!*) and I don't much like it.. how they make Rick seem like such a pussy in the beginning.. Carl learning to be a badass from Shane instead of his dad, Andrea being some bitch instead of the awesome chick she is... they killed off Sophia who is still alive and well in the comics! They've already killed off Dale.. But anyways... as far as meeting Merle in the game, I don't see that happening as Merle is a tv show character and the game is supposed to be based of the comic. However, Glenn rolls off with Clem's walkie-talkie in the end of episode 1 of the game, ya know.. but he doesn't have a talkie in the comic.. but he does use a talkie to save Rick from Atlanta in the show... hmmmm.

No he won't, Shane is with the survivors (Dale with his RV and so forth) outside Atlanta where Glenn has gone now, I doubt Lee will go near Atlanta again, could be, but i bet by the time he gets there Shane and Rick will have taken the group further away from the city. Shane didn't die at the camp site as far as i can recall, he died between the Camp site and the prison.

Nah, Shane died at the camp site.. only a few days, maybe a week, after Rick showed up. Rick and Shane are fighting, cause Rick wants to move camp.. Shane is losing it.. tries to shoot Rick... Carl is witnessing it all and shoots Shane. "Don't hurt my daddy again!" Bye-bye Shane! Later after they find the prison and Rick finds out that "we ARE the walking dead!" He takes a trip back to the old camp site, digs Shane's zombie body up, and shoots it in the head. This happens, I'd say, about nearly 2 months after the beginning of the apocalypse, and they say the next episode of the game is gonna be 3 months after the beginning, so I'd say we can scratch Shane off the list of people Lee might meet

[The Real Jaybles]

Ah, yes, looked it up again has been quite a while since i read the early comics... He gets killed like right before they leave the Atlanta camp site.

As an award i'm leaving you the memorable scene you quoted with Carl!

[Web Head]

Lee and Rick are fine lol..The best I can say <3. Shane died anyways.
