My only possible justification for her reaction would be she was shocked to hear him pretty much say that "I killed him and I am glad I did it".For all of her messed up personality(I am trying to be gentlemanly here) she knows that Rick is a decent person and his career as a cop aside,he is not one to kill in cold blood.And although he (imo) did not perpetrated cold blood murder,to her may have been shocking and perhaps horrifying to know how far he could go.But even so such justification can just go so far as to excuse her attitude.

But before Rick said that he was "glad it was over," he explained that Shane took him out into the woods with the intent to kill him. He explained that he kept giving Shane the opportunity to turn around and head back but Shane kept taking him further and further away. Like he said, there came a point where he knew that only one of them was making it back to the farm that night. This isn't even taking into account the 2 other times that Shane tried to kill Rick that Lori also knew about. This isn't like Rick suddenly decided that Shane was too dangerous and took him out back to put a bullet in his brain and then rejoiced because it was over. Rick was exhausted both physically and mentally because Shane left him no other choice.

On the Talking Dead, both Robert Kirkman and Glen Mazzara admitted that Lori wasn't even mad at Rick, she was mad at herself because she knew that it was her fault.

But despite all that it seems like she was pretty shocked to realize how far Rick is really capable to go.Which can be indicative that things in Rick and Lori's marriage wasn't going all that well pre-zombie outbreak.In fact she seemed like a person who lived inside a bubble that kept her away from the realities of Rick life as a cop or the current realities of him being their leader.

I wanted Andrea to slap her when Lori told her she should be cooking and cleaning and let the 'men folk' take care of everything.

I wanted to smack all of them when they bitched that Rick hadn't told them that they were all infected. What the hell difference would it have made if that particular nugget of info came out right after they left the CDC? They got all pissy and indignant..."You had no right to keep that to yourself"... bitches, please.

That said, yes, she's a pretty big vagina.

Lori sucks. Wish they would kill her off but I don't see that happening.

It didn't seem like she got really mad at Rick until after he said that Carl put Shane down. The way Rick told that part it seemed as if he let / told Carl to shoot Shane, and he never told Lori that he didn't know Carl had followed them.

I agree, she sucks, but Rick could have done a much better job of telling that story, even when he told the group he told it inside out. Rather than starting with "Shane tried to kill me" he said "I killed my best friend for you people... You saw how he was..."

Watching season one on and off again on Netflix, I still say her performance as an actress on the series is weak.

What's funny is that on a forum where people's tone and intent are constantly misconstrued, we can't understand how it could possibly happen such as in this case.

Lori is a pretty terrible character. I accept that not everyone should be making rational choices in the face of a zombie apocalypse, but she goes pretty far into crazy territory.
