SPOILERS: This week on The Walking Dead...
Rick continues his plunge into psychosis with more visions of his deceased wife, Daryl and Merle have a falling-out after they help defend a family from walkers, and The Governor plans an offensive against the prison.
This is my favorite episode in recent memory. Layers of human drama and exciting zombie action kept things moving along briskly, which is a change of pace from last week's relatively slow debut. I'm hopeful that Rick will overcome his psychotic visions of Lori and resume his place as the head of the group. Having said this, it's nice to be reminded that our hero isn't invincible. I also like seeing Glenn start to assert himself as a leader in Rick's absence. He brings a level of passion that's similar to Rick's, but it's refreshing to see another character fill that role.
Probably my favorite moment of the night was when Daryl and Merle fought off a pack of walkers while trying to protect a stranded family. "Zombie Kill of the Week" goes to Daryl for slamming a zombie head in the trunk of a car. Bloody awesome.
I'm looking forward to next week as Rick begins to come back to terms with reality and plans for a counterstrike against The Governor start coming to fruition. No doubt an all-out war will begin by season's end.
