The Walking Dead Season Two Episode 2

The episode starts off, with a flashback of Lori's. She's talking to another woman about her and Rick's relationship. This is when Shane tells Lori about what happen to Rick when he got shot. Then we come back to the present and see Rick running with Carl for help. We Rick so shaken up he's unable to think properly. 

Rick finds out that the bullet has separated into 6 pieces and they need standard medical equipment to try to save Carl. Shane and Otis (the man who shot Carl) got to the local high school to find the supplies. Lori gets to the house and finds out that the man treating her son, is not a doctor, but a veterinarian. 

While trying to get the medical supplies Shane and Otis are surrounded by zombies and have to lock themselves in the high school. Carl doesn't have much longer to hang on and needs the surgery soon. 

Opinion: This episode was just okay in my opinion. It seemed very scattered and the fact that both the children in the group are suffering makes it just messy. I have a feeling that the lives of the two children will be the focus of this season. Even worse is that I am a mother and usually things like this pull at my heart strings. In this case I am not moved at all.

 I am hoping that as that the rest of the reason gets better. Remember there is only six episodes per season and they are up to number 3, but I haven't seen that one yet. Even Darryl in this episode has done a 180 from the last. It's almost like different people wrote the two different episodes. 

Supernatural Season Seven Episode 2

The episode continues right where the first one left off. Sam is dealing with Lucifer, who claims he's still in hell and Dean and Bobby watch Cas, or the Leviathans leave and enter a clean water supply for the area, which they can get to anywhere or anyone. 

Sam, admits to Dean and Bobby about what he's dealing with. How he is not sure he knows the difference between what's real and not. As he tells them, he sees Lucifer feeding him information. This makes Dean uneasy and he doesn't trust Sam. 

The boys look up for signs of the Leviathans are attacking people. They find a sign in Kansas that might be them. Dean goes alone with Sam stays with Bobby, since they cannot trust Sam with his issue. Dean investigates and finds that there are Leviathans starting to reek havoc on the world. 

Sam tries to understand why Lucifer still toys with Sam. He says it will all end when he cannot take anymore. This make it hard as Lucifer keep toying with him. Bobby leaves when fellow hunter calls to say her surgeon is going to eat her liver. The beast decide to take over medical staff of a hospital. They are more than just two and Dean comes to Sam to help Bobby out. Sam was only going to keep the car running, but since there is 5 of them, Sam has to come help. Dean gives him a lecture about how he cannot be seeing Lucifer. 

Turns out it was Lucifer bating Sam to a warehouse to get to the final chapter. The real Dean shows up and Sam doesn't know which one is real. Sam has a gun pointed at Dean and is very confused. Dean tries to tell Sam that the torture felt different in hell than in the real life. Bobby interrupts telling them he has a live Leviathans and they are needing to figure out who to kill them. They show up at Bobby's and the house has burnt down. 

They come face to face with one of the Leviathans and fight him. Both Sam and Dean are taken to the hospital. We don't know if Bobby is still alive or if they really killed the Leviathan.

My Opinion: This episode was pretty good. The story was good and I really like the aspects of Sam's dealing with Lucifer. It's a interesting concept to think that much of this is all made up and how would one act. I do find it interesting that they never once say his name. I am not sure if there is a reason for this or not. 

I think the story of Sam dealing with his demons took the front seat and dealing with the Leviathans was just a side affect to give the boys something to do. I am still waiting to see what all of this means for the boys. 

I am still not into the whole heaven and hell aspect of the show, but it's starting to get back to its roots. I also didn't even notice the music in this episode so I think it might have been only one classic rock song. I like it when they have a few, it just seems to fit the mood of the show better. 

The Walking Dead Season One Episode Two Recap

Episode Two:  This episode lets us meet the group of survivors.  We see that some kind of relationship between Lori and Shane have taken place, though it’s one of lust. We also start were episode one left off, Rick being stuck in the tank while a voice from the radio helps him make an escape plan. Once Rick is free and meets a separate group of survivors who are not happy about Rick’s arrival.

Now our group is trapped and has nowhere to go.  Plus, there are already tensions between the members of the group. We meet Merle Dixon who cannot leave his racist opinions to himself and he suffers for it. Rick handcuffs him and he gets left behind. The group tries to use the sewers to escape. Glenn, our mystery voice and another survivor inspect the sewers while everyone, but Merle keep an eye out on the main level for walkers.

The walkers break through and the sewer is closed off.  So Rick, being the hero he is and coming up with crazy plans decides that in order for them to smell dead they will cover themselves, from the neck down of course with walker… pieces. They test it walking to the construction site to get a truck and it works pretty good… until it starts to rain.  They make it to the truck and come up with another plan to get the walkers away from the store. This of course means hot-wiring a Dodge Charger with the theft alarm sounding off.

In a hurry to meet the truck they are torn with whether to let Merle free or not. The key is dropped and Merle is left behind with walkers closing in.  They do chain the door so that hopefully Merle will not have any walkers find him on the roof.  The group pikes into the truck with seconds to spare and flies down the road back towards the camp. The episode ends with Glenn Driving the Charger back to the camp enjoying the ride. 

My Reaction:  This episode I like a lot because of the action of it. Who would think to take a walker chop them up and then slather those pieces on them so they do not smell like a human? I've seen shows or movies where people will tried to act like a zombie to get by, but never this. 

I also like how Rick is always coming up with ideas to get the group out. You can see how he is trying to get out so he can see his wife and son again. No one seems to know that his family is part of their group back at the camp site. 

I will say to go from the 90 minute season premiere to the 50 minute second episode is kind of a let down. I know shows do this a lot, but when you watch it episode by episode it takes something away. I didn't notice this the first time I watched this, but we watch the entire season is on sitting. I am doing it episode by episode so I can write these recaps. 

So this is a good episode, with some crazy gore and scary walkers. The scenes with the group back at the camp site seem a bit pointless, but I think there is a point to them. It gives you an idea of what people are doing when they are not face with the threat of walkers.
