I had to avoid all social networks before I could find this episode online to watch. I had several people tell me to avoid them because they saw spoilers before they could see it. I know people get excited to talk about it but why post spoilers when it's only aired for half the country? Stop spoiling shit if you are one of these people.
I will let you know my recap is pretty long so spoilers below.
This week's episode we had both groups shown and it worked I think. The only issue I have is because we don't know much about the Woodsbury group for it to make sense.
Prison Storyline
We get a glimpse of someone bringing walkers into the prison. Not sure who but it looks like one of the prisoners. Hershel is using crutches and we see some more tension between Rich's group and the prisoners.
Walkers get into the courtyard area they had cleared and Carl, Lori, Beth and Hershel are running to get away. Someone is causing trouble and Rick now has to trust the prisoners. T-dog gets bit and Lori goes into labor. The group is split up and Carl and Maggie are the only ones with Lori. They are in some electrical room. T-dog sacrifices himself to save Carol. The alarm system is set and Rick takes Glenn, Daryl and the two prisoners to shut it off.
Out of nowhere Andrew shows up and tries to attack Rick. Oscar hugest Ricks gun and shoots Andrew. Lori begs Maggie to do cut her open so her baby can survive and knows she won't. She has to convince Carl its ok and that he'll do what feels right and that Maggie has to kill her and it cannot be Rick. Maggie performs the c-section and pulls the baby out. The baby survives and Carl has to kill Lori before she turns. They flash back to the farm with Rick telling Carl no more kid stuff. Maggie leaves with the baby and Carl shoots Lori.
Rick, Glenn and Daryl come across T-Dog's body being eaten by two walkers. They meet back up with Beth and Hershel when Carl and Maggie come out withe the baby. We end the episode with Rick's cry when he realizes that Lori is dead.
Woodbury Storyline
Michonne us looking over the humvs from the guard and isn't convinced of the Governor's story. Andrea and Merle have a talk about the old gang and where he could find the farm. He convinces Andrea that the Governor is a good guy because he took him in. Merle tries to convince the Governor to let him go look for his brother. Andrea talks to the Governor about leaving and have a toast. And we learn that the Governor's name is Phillip. Andrea tells Michonne that they should stay a few more days.
Review:
The episode was very good and done with once again a little drama but not too much. I separated the two story lines for a good reason. I felt like the scenes of woodsbury were just a little too short. The only one that was a decent length was Merle and Andrea talking. The others just didn't seem to end as smoothly. I also expected another scene or two, but nothing every happened. I guess we're suppose to be okay with Andrea and Michonne deciding to stay.
The prison and all of that was really action packed and again what I expect from the show. There was a few things that bothered me. Mostly how Lori died. It was so quick and subtle. I was waiting for Maggie or Carl to want to make sure she was really dead before he shot her. Maybe we'll see more next week. The other thing that bothered me was Rick's crying. I am not sure if that is how Andrew Lincoln cries or what, but it seems so forced and fake. Like a little kid crying for attention or to get their way. It's not real, but they know it will draw attention. It's almost like he's trying to show everyone he did love her and what not.
So overall a good episode, better than the second episode.
