The Walking Dead - "Clear" (Mar. 3, 2013)


DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS
On this week's episode of The Walking Dead, Rick, Michonne, and Carl go on a supply run back to Rick's hometown where they have an encounter with an old friend.

The entire duration of the episode follows solely this trio. To keep things from being too repetitive, the action is split between Carl and Michonne going to get supplies for baby Judith and Rick collecting weapons from Morgan, a character we haven't seen since the beginning of season 1. I found the action between Rick and Morgan fascinating. In both dialogue and setting, we get to see Morgan's psychosis since Rick's departure in season 1. I hope we see more of Morgan soon because watching him in his crazed state alongside an equally imperfect Rick is a blast.
Not sure I can say the same for Carl and Michonne. The pair's biggest highlight saw them narrowly escape a restaurant full of walkers when Carl goes in to grab an old picture frame of him and his parents. They work well enough together to keep things moving, but Rick and Morgan clearly had the driver's seat this week.

As for next week, it looks like Rick and The Governor might finally get to meet face-to-face. With only four episodes left, the high tensions of season 3 are quickly approaching their boiling point. I can't wait to see what's in store.
