In Short: Merle tries to end the prison/Woodbury standoff on his own by delivering Michonne to The Governor.
Recommended: Hell yes!!!
DARYL: Not saying this was the wrong call, but this is definitely the right one.
This show hurts my soul in all the right ways. “This Sorrowful Life” cranked the tension up to ten right from the first scene, then took us on a ride that was equal parts zombie killing and character growth, before brutally killing off one of …

In Short: Rick, Michonne and Carl go on a supply run, where Rick runs into an old friend.
Recommended: Kind of.
MICHONNE: They deserved what they got. They weren’t human to begin with.
I ended up watching this episode a day late, which gave me plenty of time to hear other people’s opinions of “Prey”. Some people thought it was fantastic, and others were downright bored. Personally, I’d been hoping for an episode where bored wasn’t even a possibility, so …

In Short: Rick and The Governor meet for peace talks.
Recommended: Yes.
ANDREA: Save the bullets for the real threats.
That’s it! I’m officially sick of character building. Okay, maybe not, but at the very least I’m definitely craving a little more threat from the zombie menace the show is named after. In this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and The Governor (David Morrissey) met after Andrea (Laurie Holden) decided they needed a sit down to work …

In Short: Rick, Michonne and Carl go on a supply run, where Rick runs into an old friend.
Recommended: Hell, yes.
RICK: Do you know who I am? Do you see who I am?
MORGAN: People wearing dead people’s faces.
Not too long ago, we heard the news that The Walking Dead’s current show runner Glen Mazzara would be leaving the show due to “differences of opinion” in where the show should go with AMC. Understandably, this made a lot of people …

In Short: This Romeo and Juliet adaptation follows a zombie as he falls in love with a human girl.
Recommended: Yes!
R: What am I doing with my life? I’m so pale. I should get out more. I should eat better. My posture’s horrible. I should stand up straighter. People would respect me more if I stood up straighter. What’s wrong with me? I just want to connect. …

In Short: The Governor kick-starts the prison vs. Woodbury war, while the group tries to find a new balance without Rick or Daryl to take the lead.
Recommended: Yes!
BETH: Why are we so sure he is going to attack? Maybe you scared him off?
MICHONNE: He had fish tanks full of heads; walkers and human… trophies. He’s coming.
Just what the doctor ordered, an unexpected character death. While this week’s episode may have started off with a lot more talking, and moving …

In Short: The dust settles after Rick’s group invades Woodbury as Daryl and Merle are finally reunited, and Rick must decide how to proceed.
Recommended: Yes
TYREESE: I must be the first brother in history to break into prison.
The Walking Dead is back! Unfortunately, it looks like the fan base may have been over-hyping this show’s triumphant return. “The Suicide King” ushered in the second half of the season but with none of the flair or dramatics we’d been expecting. …

In Short: Rick gets a taste of what’s been going on in Woodbury during a rescue attempt. Back at the
prison, Carl meets a new group of characters.
Recommended: Hell yes!
GLENN: Rick, I’m sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn’t hold out.
RICK: Don’t. No need to apologize.
The episode opens with a pretty standard zombie-hunting forest scene; crashing through the woods, killing zombies left and right. It’s… some people we haven’t met yet. Huh?! This is it, the long-awaited …

In Short: Glenn and Maggie must withstand torture in Woodbury and Michonne and Rick are finally introduced back at the prison.
Recommended: Hell yes!
DARYL: Stay safe.
CAROL: Nine lives, remember?
Not Maggie and Glen! “When the Dead Come Knocking” was a slow burner of an episode designed to setup the big confrontation for next week’s mid-season finale. It wasn’t the most jaw-dropping or action packed episode of the season so far, but it still managed to ooze tension from beginning to end. …

In Short: Andrea hooks up with The Governor while Rick’s sanity reaches a breaking point.
Recommended: Hell yes!
MERLE: Look at this. She sent us a biter-gram, y’all.
After a slow episode last week, The Walking Dead followed through perfectly. “Hounded” focused on constantly building tension in every area of the show. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is still rolling in the crazy, while Daryl (Norman Reedus) continues to re-clear the prison. Everything about this episode was meant to begin setting up …
