The Governor takes care of Maggie’s interrogation after Glenn’s proves useless. The Governor removes Maggie’s handcuffs. He then instructs Maggie to take her shirt off, then her bra. He takes his belt off and walks over to her. He acts like he is going to rape her if she doesn’t tell him where the group is. Luckily, he is just bluffing. He then brings Maggie into Glenn’s room and threatens to kill one of them. First, he holds a gun to Maggie and then holds a gun to Glenn. Maggie gives up her group’s location,and the Governor leaves Maggie and Glenn together in the room. Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and the two inmates set out for their trip to Woodbury, leaving Carl behind. They get to within a mile of Woodbury and then decide it is safer to walk through the woods. They are attacked by a swarm of zombies. The crew finds themselves retreating and hole up in a house in the woods. Within the house, they find a man alive. He is too loud, so Michonne decides to kill him to save everyone else. The crew then decides to use the man as a buffer between them and the zombies surrounding the house and so feed him to the zombies while they make a run for it. The Governor brings Andrea to see a man named Michael Coleman. This is an eerie scene–we don’t know what is going on here. It appears that the old man is dying. The scientist asks Andrea to play the first song on the record. Then starts asking a series of questions about the old man. The scientist reveals to Andrea that he is trying to determine whether or not there is a conscious mind after the transformation. Andrea warns the scientist I’d like to see some more character development with Beth. As of now, she really hasn’t had much of a role within the group or on the show at all. ’d like to see her step up, now that we have seen some characters die off this season (r.i.p. T-Dog and Lori). I noticed a recurring theme each week during the AMC’s story sync–which I love, by the way. Each week, the question is asked, “Who kills the most walkers this episode” and the winner is always Michonne by a vast majority; clearly viewers think she is the most vicious. Overall, tonight’s episode was a great buildup to next week’s mid season finale. The episode was filled with some memorable zombie kills and fast paced progression of the story; it was hard to keep up–almost. Tonight’s episode is well deserving of a 9 out of 10 rating,and definitely leaves us on the edge of our seat for next week’s mid season finale.
Gore Meter: 8/10 for gore this week.
