Walking Dead review

It's going to be really hard for The Walking Dead to live up to its first season, but so far this season does not disappoint. It's been a perfect mix of story telling, character development and zombie assaults!

I'm glad that Rick seems to have sobered up a bit. I didn't like the tension being built by the unstable Ricktator; but art is supposed to make you feel, whether it's a positive or negative emotion. However, only about 1/4 of the current survivors have even seen Rick in leader-mode. I'm not sure how the newcomers would take to Rick just putting on his hat and saddling back up. 

Carol's character has certainly taken a turn down a dark road, one that her long-dead abusive hisband set in motion back in season 1. She just seemed to snap after Sophia's death. She'll now just kill anybody at any time. At first I was glad she seemed to be taking charge of educating the children, but now I worry she shiv one of them for talking back.
