Better episode, although it's almost like they tried to cram too much into 45 minutes after drawing too little out of last week. Even so they did re-introduce everyone pretty well, and I'm intrigued by the new folks at the end. I'm not a reader of the graphic novels but from what I understand they are a big part of that world and you can assume they will be central to this season going forward. Something new is welcome.
The child-characters are starting to wear thin. Maybe it's the acting, but I'm not buying into the characters and they just annoy me whenever they are on the screen. Although Lizzie borderline suffocating Judith (who I didn't even think was Judith at all until someone said it) was tense.
More and more characters are getting more and more complex. Darryl's sulking, Beth's wavering back and forth between hope and despair, Carol's apprehension about joining with Tyrese, the Doc's optimistic turn, and Michonne's partial backstory last week are creating an interesting weave.
