There have been so many other inconsistencies that it seemed foolish to hope that the show would ever remember to address this loose end. I gave up hoping for the return of Morgan at the beginning of this season. Rick lifts his mask off and it is Morgan. The guy is wearing a bulletproof vest, though, so he’s alive. Rick fires at the guy, but it’s Carl who takes him down. They start picking their way gingerly through, but then they’re fired upon by a guy in body armor and a helmet up on a roof. Spikes and barbed wire and caged rats being used as bait. They decide that’s better than nothing and start walking through the town, except almost immediately they come across all these crazy booby traps. Rick’s former police station has been looted of all guns and bullets, but he remembers a few isolated ones that were stashed in local businesses.
It turns out that Rick and Carl have returned home. Rick, Michonne, and Carl drive into a little town. He’s like that big, shaggy monster in The Muppet Movie who wants to go to Hollywood, too. They’re stuck for so long that the dude with the pack shows up again, out of breath, begging for their help. When I heard Carl say this, I had to pause the episode for a minute because I really couldn’t believe they were going to make us listen to this again. He also doesn’t trust Michonne, doesn’t think she’s one of them. He’s back on the “Rick’s a bad leader” thing. Michonne drives the car into the mud and it gets stuck, and while Rick tries to teach his son how to get the tire loose, Carl gets all snappy. They’re callous now, we get it, but doesn’t it occur to Rick that it’s a numbers game with the Governor and that a few more soldiers might be what they need even more than guns? Merle keeps talking about how outmanned they are. They pass a guy on the road who’s wearing a backpack and screaming for them to stop and pick him up. Rick, Michonne, and Carl are on an ammunition run. It’s gotten to the point where I’m more confused when the show is not bad than when it is.Īt first it seemed it was going to be more of the same.
All season long it’s been dragging its feet (and I’m not talking about zombies here) and then suddenly it delivers a very good episode like last night’s.
The Walking Dead may be the weirdest show on television right now.
