Review:

OHHMYGOD!! The Walking Dead’s third season has consistently delivered wonderful episodes and this is no different.

As the episode starts you might think that it’s a flash back to happier times, but NO! It is actually Woodbury and its party. People seem to be happy there. Then we see The Governor combing a little girl’s hair and then a piece of her scalp falls of and we realise that the girl is actually a Walker/Biter and is his daughter. That whole scene was twisted and sick and messed up…. In a good way of course.

This was Michonne’s episode. She doesn’t trust The Governor (Obviously!). I must commend Danai Gurira‘s acting. She brings out the true essence of Michonne from the comics, which I love! She nonchalant way in which she cuts those walkers is just amazing! She then leaves Woodbury after having an argument with Andrea. Andrea has become somewhat irritating and Michonne got away from her. Woodbury has its parties too. Drinks, merriment and for entertainment… gladiator fights with… Walkers of course… Which led to Andrea getting angry at The Governor.

Back at the prison, Rick goes on a mad rampage. He takes an axe and starts killing all the walkers in the infested cellblock. On the other hand, the baby need formula to survive and thus Maggie and Daryl go into the town to find it. And when he returns, we see an emotional side of Daryl. He feeds the baby, smile at her and cradles her. He also keeps a Cherokee Rose on Carols grave.

Andrew Lincoln is an awesome actor. His emotional breakdown in the previous episode and continued in this is amazingly played out. He converted his grief to an intense killing urge. Rick had no dialogue in the whole episode (except till the very end, where he says “Hello?”) is a nice touch. He actually pushes away Glen who tries to help him. The phone ringing at the end and Rick answering it raises a lot of questions.

I’m upset that they havent cleared the air aout Carol. It’s been bugging me.. IS SHE ALIVE OR IS SHE DEAD? The Walkers kills were amazing. Kudos to the graphics team. I’d say that the best performances in this episode were my Michonne, Daryl and Rick. The only problem is that Andrea has become dense. Otherwise, this episode is amazing, just like the rest of the season.

Final Verdict:

8.7/10
