![]() ![]() This is what makes The Walking Dead work so well. Yet compassionate enough to take in the remnants of souls that were NOT SHOT by the Gov as he fled like a spoiled kid. In the end, the prison stays with the occupants that took it in the beginning of the season. "I'm not you're Governor." And it is the groups decision to stay and do final battle with The Gov and his merry band of idiots. But isn't this a reflection of real life? The tough guy's who make loud noises tend to do so over and over again? And when they don't get their petty ways, they ready for war?Įventually, Rick decides to NOT decide for the group anymore. As this Season progresses, the growing tension between The Gov and Rick leads to more than one showdown. Target practice and throwing the first volley. They are here to stay! The Gov uses them to his advantage as well as sport. Not as easily drawn away by some diversion. For good reason!Īll through Season 3, we see the most bloodshed and violence. In every way! And as soon as The Gov learns of Rick and his group, no matter how small in headcount, he feels threatened. He would have a statue of himself in the center of town were it feasible. As long as the town folk follow his commands, he is a God unto himself. Leave that to "The Governor." A man whose head belongs inside one of his many fishtanks of heads! He is utterly ruthless, maniacal, certifiably crazy and absolutely okay with it. Living as though THEIR world has not changed. In the worst possible way!Ĭut to Woodbury. ![]() He knew the alternative and at that moment, we see a boy grow into manhood. It was a real tear jerker when Carl had to step up and shot Lori after child birth. Fabulous casting places these "survivors" in situations, making choices and doing deeds they could never have accomplished in the 1st Season! Outstanding teamwork and artful thinking gets them through step-by-step. Yet this amazing ensemble cast has come together in ways that have their wits make up for lack of numbers. Just when you think how else can a Walker be fought off, they show up as prison guards in riot gear. Besides the Walkers that surround the prison, within the gates and out, they must contend with whomever might still be lurking inside. Yeah! Action again! Of course taking the prison will not be easy. And the Season finale was a jaw dropper! After Rick declares that "this isn't a democracy anymore", low and behold, the prison looms just over the horizon. Reading the graphic novel, I knew of much more to come. ![]() Besides the runs to the pharmacy, (why not raid the entire pharmacy all in one big raid?), there was little Action! It became more of the "love triangle drama" more than it's namesake. Were it not for the fruitless search for Sophia, nobody had much reason to venture out. ![]() Almost the entire 2nd Season had action, (if much) come to the farm. I did get a bit frustrated with the slowed pace in character's and plotline while on Hershel's farm. ![]()
