The Walking Dead Season 2....so far.

So I think we can all agree(or at least I believe so) that this season of The Walking Dead has to be by far the best one. I felt like the other season just dragged a little bit..while on the other hand this season seems to contain action in every episode.

I'm also not sure if they did this last season but I love the Story Sync feature on AMC's website where you can follow this interactive storyline with the episode as it's going on. You can learn trivia on the show, answer polls, and even join in on a Walking Dead discussion. 

One reason why I love this season is the characters in this season and how much they have changed. This season we are truly starting to see what the apocalypse is doing to them as far as changing their values and priorities. We see a lot of people's personality's changing as well...and shall I say that a lot of their "true colors" are beginning to seep through.



When it comes to Lori, we begin to see just how much of a trained housewife she must have been back before the walkers invaded. She's very old fashioned and you learn this in this season when she confronts Andrea about not doing her part of the household chores like laundry and cooking...because you know clothes that smell like snuggles really works at keeping the walkers away. Andrea of course rather stand watch for walkers but Lori on the other hand feels like supporting them by slaving away at home which to her is being much more productive. I'm sure she changes her thoughts regarding this however after Dale's death.

Dale's death was a shock to my system as I'm sure to yours. It was un-expecting and it seriously reminded me that this world was very vulnerable and that no character was safe. I kind of forgot that as the episodes continued with no deaths of main characters. However, after having him die && then immediately having the next big death appear in the next episode I had to take a a big step back mentally and just think, Woah. Dale's death was so emotional for me though because he was a strong character. To me he was the one who kept the walker's world from crossing the figurative boundary into the groups world. He tried his hardest to keep what ever they had left from the old world from disappearing, and he was the only reason Andrea is still alive today. It sucks to lose one of the root characters like Dale. I mean who else is left to give advice to Glen or anyone else in need of some wise advice from the old???

Moving on to Carl. Well he's just a lil f*ck isn't he? Man this kid has pissed me off so much this season..that was until tonight's episode...(more on that another time). He has grown up A LOT this season and really QUICKLY too. However, instead of following in Rick's footsteps he's following in Shane's. Which may be a smarter survival tactic, though you could lose your sanity in the process. You can see his mind and attitude start to change a lot. He tries to use guns whenever he can(or at least attempt to), he tries to find reasons to be at the executions of others, && then the way he coldly told poor Carol that Sophia isn't in heaven =[ was terrible. This all was bound to happen though given the world they live in and the fact that his whore of mother decided to bring another baby into this world. He had to grow up someday, and I guess this was his time.



I won't reveal anything that appeared in the episode that aired tonight, but someone however did die. && as a lil hint to those who read the comics...Carl finally gets to complete his comic book destiny, && that pivotal scene that we all thought was overlooked...ISNT.


Again let me remind you all that this show is far from predictable...&& you have to remember that what you thought should have, could have, would have happened...just may NOT.


As far as answers being revealed in this season, as of yet, there has been none concerning what was said at the CDC. However we do see a new evolution in the disease, as it begins to change and strengthen it's virility(meaning it's spread much easier now). When Randall dies @ the hands of the crazed-one aka Shane, it's revealed that you DON'T have to get bitten to become a walker...you can become one by simply dying. This is a game changer for both us and them, and it proves to everyone that this virus is still very much alive and evolving with time.

I believe that this whole seasons changes from focusing on the walkers and more on the people living in this world.You see a lot of your favorite characters become your most hated...&& you watch some of your favorite characters die.

Here's a spoiler line from tonight episode..I'll talk more about this episode after everyone has for sure watched it:

"This was you not me"

Mid-Season premiere of The Walking Dead! 2012

So we finally return right where we left off....

 the barn massacre. 

&& the first problem we must solve is the Sophia issue..&& whether Hershel has been keeping her zombified body a secret or not....well..he WAS. Everyone on the farm knew...but like Glenn said.."Maybe this is for the best" According to him, Sophia's disappearance was different than the rest of the missing survivors...it's for this reason they end up giving her a proper burial(poor Andrea..her sister didn't get the same red-carpet treatment)

In other exciting news, b/c of Shane falling off his rocking chair last season....THERE OUT OF A HOME or a piece of LAND shall I say. Or @ least Shane is....ohh && Dale STILL hates Shane "I knew guys like him...Sooner or later he's gonna kill somebody else". Though..we shouldn't jump the gun on Shane folks...he still has a heart && he shows it in this episode.."I'm just trying to keep everyone safe".

As far as Rick, he is starting off this season still uneasy about his leadership abilities and whether he has what it takes to lead. With all the recent disasters happening in the group, he is beginning to blame himself, && lose faith in the drive that got him to where he is now.


In the meanwhile...in the background..one of the residents at the farm goes into SHOCK...&& Glenn's got 99 zombies and the live one's the issue... 

WhErE's hErShEl?!?!?

Drinking his "miracles" away..according to him the group played him for a fool. "You guys are like the plague!"

"Stop running around solving everyone else's problems! Your son needs a father who is ALIVE!"-Lori
"We NEED Hershal for the baby!!!"-Rick

 

"Oh"

Of course it is shortly after this that Lori decided to grow a pair of non existent rubber balls and follow Rick and Glen into town...when all of a sudden..predictably...BAM! She crashes(I swear the previews didn't already give this away =p) So time for a hypothetical question: Does Lori die or get saved? We must wait till next time for an answer.

Also...NEW PEOPLE stop by for a lil bit..&& then leave in a rush =\  One of the strangers left us with a quote to ponder on.. "Ain't nobody's hands clean...we're all the same in this world". The strangers main motives: to get a place on the farm for their group...unfortunately given the day that Rick has been having he has to decline their offer to pull in resources.

As the show ends we see a new side of Rick that paints him as more of a leader. He does a first during this episode that he has never had to do in this new world before, but I'll leave you to watch it yourself.

We are left with a cliffhanger this week, wondering if what the hell happened to Lori?...Stay tuned next week.

Some funny pictures to leave ya'll off with.

Prediction for this season: It's gonna be worth watching every week.
