AMC's The Walking Dead

Set your DVRs. The Walking Dead returns tonight.

 

It hasn't aired yet...but I'll get in front of the people who want to complain about how slow it was and that it didn't have enough zombies.

 

Was anybody else thinking how stunning it would have been for a walker to take a bite of of the character outside the house as the episode ended?

 

Gotta admit, I was hoping Carl would get a hunk taken out his calf.

 

That was intense and creepy. Well done.

 

Was wonderful how Michonne found who she was looking for in the first house she checked when the Governor and his army couldn't find the gigantic prison for months without being led there.

 

1. We don't know that was the first house she checked. All we know is she found the empty pudding can
2. Michonne is a fucking Ninja
3. As Walking Dead plot holes go, that's a very minor one.

 

There were plenty of Zombies.

The show did however move rather slowly.

 

I don't know if this is something I would pick on. For all we know, it's the first house she looked in sure but it could also be the first house Rick and Carl found and decided to stay at. Seems like it was a straight road and then, boom, neighborhood.
As for plot holes, I think Rick acting like a walker would be a bigger one. He knows what that world is and he knows what Carl would likely be thinking if he was making those sounds so why wouldn't he lay on the couch until he could talk and then talk? He was risking his life for ...?
Great episode overall though. Loved seeing Michonne and Carl's development. Love those characters.

 

Gee, would have liked a little more time with and lingering shots of Hershel's head.

 

Next time you're delirious from terrible injuries let me know if you know what you're doing and how you're acting.

 

I liked the episode.

We got more backstory on Michonne, met her zombie "twin," saw her almost lose it and then come back by wiping out a herd of walkers, and saw Carl give a nice little speech that summed how a lot of fans felt when Rick was playing farmer. The last 10-15 minutes with Rick and Carl were excellent, and I especially loved the nod to Shane after they found the house.
