Review of Sick

The Walking Dead: Sick (2012)
Season 3, Episode 2
8/10
Strong Follow Up To Great Season Opener
30 October 2014
Plot In A Paragraph: As Hershel's health deteriorates, Rick is convinced the prison is their new salvation, but they have already encountered surviving prisoners and walkers.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is confronted with decisions he doesn't really want to make. Mainly what to do with some surviving (and quite clearly dangerous) prisoners still in the prison. That is one of the great things I love about The Walking Dead. It doesn't present a clear answer to these questions.

The diplomatic Rick tries striking a bargain with surviving prisoners. It's obvious from the start this is a mistake. We know as viewers it's not going to work out.

This episode has loads of action but it offered some real emotional moments too as Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Beth (Emily Kinney) deal with the possible death of their father. It goes back and forth between the near-death Hershel (Scott Wilson) and Rick, Daryl (Norman Reedus), and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) dealing with walkers and prisoners.

We didn't see any of Andrea (Laurie Holden) or Michonne (Danai Gurira) in this episode. It never leaves the prison, which is a shame as I was looking forward to seeing more of Michonne.
