This week on The Walking Dead, Rick and The Governor meet to hopefully come to terms on a peace agreement. Later, Rick seeks advice from Hershel.
In terms of emotional content, this episode is rife with it. The interactions between Rick and The Governor are on point. It's clear that the two despise each other and that their conference is just delaying the inevitable, but I like seeing the leaders in an intimate setting before having them square off on the battlefield. If you're looking for zombie action however, you've come to the wrong place. There's maybe a minute of interaction with the walkers where Martinez and Daryl do their best rendition (of sorts) of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better". Martinez has some gut-wrenching kills with an aluminum baseball bat, while Daryl uses his knife and crossbow. Aside from that brief scene, there's no zombie violence to speak of.
So, action seekers will be disappointed, but if you prefer lots of talking, (and love scenes that come off quite steamy for cable television), then "Arrow on the Doorpost" is the episode for you. Overall, a decent time this week as the dialogue sets the tone for the season's last 3 episodes.
