First off, I am happy to report that "The Walking Dead" has been picked up for a second season of 13 episodes. This first season will only be six episodes, so we only have four left to enjoy (the finale will be on December 5), but it's great to look forward to a second season. Now... onto this weeks episode.
This one was rightfully titled "Guts," bringing forth an extreme amount of zombie when a couple of our leading survivors smear themselves with blood and guts of hacked up zombies to trick the "walkers" into thinking they are not amongst the living. They not only have the guts smeared on them, but pieces hanging off their bodies, and they walk through the streets in search of weapons and other necessities to get out of Atlanta.
Out at the camp of safety, we find Rick's wife having an affair with his once deputy and close friend, Shane. The writers didn't spend too much time elaborating on their relationship - they connected in a time of grief and loneliness - and we can see the foreshadowing of future problems with this relationship.
You wait to find out what will happen with the racist angry man (Michael Rooker) left handcuffed on the roof, with the handcuff key falling down the drain. Without giving a spoiler here, I'll say the blood spilled is not caused by a zombie.
This show is so intense and by the time it finishes, I can't believe an hour has passed. This weeks episode was only an hour long, instead of an hour-and-a-half like last week, but filled up every moment with a quality program. This weeks episode was watched by over 4.7 million people (no wonder there will be a second season, right?!).
