The Walking Dead ( week 3 )





Another fantastic week, I can't believe we are at the half way point of it's already short season of six episodes. Thankfully for us it has become a big hit and has been signed on for another season, Hallelujah for the T.V. gods. What a powerful emotional beginning to last night's episode, I could feel my eyes being slowly lubricated from some alien fluid that some how found it's way into my eye sockets, it takes a powerful moment from a television show to make this happen. But when Rick exited the truck and little Carl And Lori turned their heads up to see him, and that music by Bear McCreary you could actually feel how ecstatic they both were with his appearance. At the same time you can see Shane's little fantasy world come collapsing down around him.With Rick's arrival it's becoming an emotional battlefield out there. We are starting to see how much of an asshole Shane really is, telling Lori that Rick was dead, but man did she put him in his place, letting him know he is off limits to her family. Shane didn't take this so well, and took out his frustrations on poor Ed,beating the piss out of him after treating the women disrespectful. As I was watching Shane punch Ed in the face several times with no sign of letting up, I couldn't help but think Shane was wishing it was the face of Rick's he was beating to a pulp. And Rick thanking Shane for taking care of his family , is he really that nice ? or that naive ? I'm guessing, that nice, especially wanting to go back to rescue that red neck prick Merle. Considering the circumstances with a city full of undead citizens, a wife and child he has just reunited with, why bother?


Any how things are getting even more interesting with the small rescue team including Merle's brother Darryl reaching the roof top where Merle had been left hand cuffed, finds the roof empty except for a dangling pair of cuffs, a hack saw and a hand. Merle will not be taking this lightly, and I'm guessing will want to avenge his abandonment.


What says you?
