The Walking Dead episode Hounded is not a bad episode. The main plot device is when Merle comes across Glen and Maggie. The viewer knows the Merle event is the crux of the story, because the meeting makes the conflict between the Governor and Rick will be inevitable. The characters in each other's camps will stir up the drama. The way Hounded ends leaves the viewer wanting to know more. If you are going to miss a episode of the Walking dead Hounded is not the one. I give Hounded a six out of ten. A good storyline but not much in crazy science fiction action. The viewer can not wait for Merle and the Governor to get their just desserts. I hope the two will get eating by zombies.
