Director Ernest R. Dickerson does everything he can to make this episode of The Walking Dead work, but a weak script undermines the dramatic twist that I think just about everyone saw coming.
The popularity of the walking dead has done nothing but grow since the initial 1968 release of George A. Romero’s seminal Night of the Living Dead, with zombies infiltrating nearly every level of our pop culture
I honestly don’t think there’s another show running currently with this approach to scripting and it’s one of the reasons I love Gimple’s run on The Walking Dead.
Instead, what we have is a fleeting glimpse of an original living dead idea, brought to life with talent and grace that still failed miserably in the marketplace.
