<P> Regarding the television adaptation of the character, Lori has received generally negative reviews, with Sarah Wayne Callies' performance receiving a mixed response from critics . Critics were polarized with the characters' reaction to Lori opting for an abortion in the episode "Secrets". Writing for The A.V. Club, Zack Handlen criticized the character's opposing views on the matter, and stated that their reasoning was invalid . Handlen wrote . "I'm not even sure it would be possible for her to abort the pregnancy at this point, but the show's working on the assumption that having a child in a world where death literally lurks around every corner is an unequivocal good . The only person who's been anti-pregnancy is Lori, and the show hasn't managed to cast her in a very good light, so it's not like her arguments hold much water--which is also ridiculous, because ultimately, her opinion is the only one that matters ." HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall reflected similar thoughts, and stated that Rick's arguments against Lori's attempts were obsolete . </P> <P> The love triangle involving Lori, Rick, and Shane, however, was commended . Meslow felt that the interactions between Lori and Rick possessed "as much rawness and honesty as could be hoped for ." </P> <P> Commentators criticized the character development of Lori Grimes in the episode "Nebraska". Eric Goldman for IGN was angry upon viewing the crash sequence, avouching that it stunted any development intended for the scene . He stated, "The Walking Dead really needs to work on strengthening its female characters, and it doesn't help when Lori has a major accident for such a stupid reason, getting distracted as she looked at a map while she drove . Yeah, yeah, there was a zombie in the road, but it could have been an animal (...) just as easily, and it really undercut the intended drama of her situation when it just seems so stupid that it happened at all ." Zack Handlen for The A.V. Club thought that the foundation set up for furthering the storyline progression was contrived, while Aaron Rutkoff of The Wall Street Journal said that the premise of the dilemma made no sense . </P> <P> Critics were divided upon the interaction between Rick and Lori after she discovers Shane had died . Commentators were critical of the performance of Sarah Wayne Callies . Although The Huffington Post's Maureen Ryan reacted positively to Lincoln's performance, she affirmed that the contradictory nature of Lori almost ruined the scene . Similarly, New York's Starlee Kine criticized Callies' facial expressions during the sequence . Josh Jackson, who writes for Paste wrote, "If that was a challenge from the writers, though, Sarah Wayne Callies has to feel like they're just messing with her at this point . Her character, Lori, basically tells Rick that Shane needs to be put down, and then treats him like a monster when he's forced to follow through with it ." </P>
