The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 7 - Pretty Much Already Dead

After a troubling sequence of episodes, The Walking Dead regains its audience to do what she had been asking since the beginning of the season: dare. Insisting pace poorly architected, the series continues releasing very little of his plot, but this time, the promise of great events in the next half of the season and the revelation of his ambitious climax to the storyline that served as the backbone for these seven episodes were enough to bring new life to the viewer begins to see that his patience was rewarded.

Early in the episode, with Glenn revealing the situation of the barn to the rest of the group because it showed me that here, the attitude of The Walking Dead about his story would be different from that adopted in previous episodes. The tension between the group and feel the excitement, something-is-about-to-happen, showed awareness that the writers had the expectation that was created over this time.  Midseason finale is no time for detours, not only the responsibility carries the episode, but in the case of this series, so she built with so quiet during the other six episodes: the role of  Pretty Much was reaping the fruits planted by his predecessors, and did not, would be the biggest frustration as provided by the show.

The whole episode followed this measure changed, but that never failed to allude to the dull moments of Secrets or Chupacabra . It is as if this show could never quite overcome their problems and their text medium pace. We went through some moments of mediocrity, as the scenes that established once and for all the antagonism between Shane and Dale (he stole the weapons and was hiding in the bush? And no one said "people, wait a minute" when this idea was suggested in the room of writers?) or empty talk between Shane and Lori (the script itself - whose objective was precisely the opposite - that triangle is an impartial, it's impossible to get involved), interspersed amid scenes of dramatic quality superior to what we see in the series.

The conflict, however, still did not seem strong enough. Zombies in the barn? As long as they remain there, okay. Hershel  group wanted  Rick  out? Ten healthy people with experience in survival and combat, that could work for him and defend him from attack, why send them away? Conflict  -Rick Shane, Lori ? What conflict, if  Lori  did not want to go back to  Shane and Rick  agreed to create a child who may not be his?  Maggie  is upset with  Glenn ? This is not relevant enough to enter the list of conflicts. Everything always rather vague, without that element that makes it more critical, more volatile, more tense. And  The Walking Dead  found this element in the drama.
