Info Post
The third season of The Walking Dead concerns the remainders of mankind, particularly Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the rest of the survivors who are forced to become a "fortified" unit in order to continue surviving the undead menace. The show, adapted by Frank Darabont (director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist), will also shine the light to some comic book characters like Michonne and The Governor played respectively by Danai Gurira and David Morrissey, in this season.

RECAP

On the surface of things, the episode appears just like any other, groups gradually settling in, and in one moment, fate takes it all away. But wait 'till the end - nothing could have prepared you for it. In "Killer Within", or "By Far the Best Episode Yet", Rick's group find themselves on the fringes of sorrow and fright as walkers begin to infiltrate their temporal safe haven. Meanwhile, Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Andrea (Laurie Holden) starts to pack things up and leave Woodbury.

I'm well aware that this might sound less masculine, but this week's episode just broke my heart into pieces. Director Guy Ferland (Sons of Anarchy) masters the parallel storytelling after doing last week's "Walk With Me" which took us a leave on Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group to accompany Michonne and Andrea. Every character is shone enough light to be remembered and the kills were sustained to an unnerving degree of grotesque and inventiveness. It's not a task to call this out as one of the series's best.

Andrew Lincoln deserves some recognition on indiscretion of something more that I haven't seen on him in awhile. He's arguably a very good actor and it's heartbreaking to think what his character Rick will have to face in the next episode. Chandler Riggs, as Carl, unsurprisingly takes part of one of the major events in the series and you've got to give it to the kid. Andrea, who's such a flirtatious bitch, on the other hand, is tangled between Philip (David Morrissey) - yes, that's the governor's name - and her salvation, Michonne.

This is the most delicate, tense and heartbreaking episode I have seen so far, and I'm at hope that more are on their way. From the quibble-filled third episode, the quality just skyrocketed. If this is to make amends for last season's mishaps, then I'm just glad season two turned out that terrible. The series is faring a very good journey and I'm most enchanted that I have come aboard.

NEXT WEEK'S PROMO

Next week on The Walking Dead, in the fourth episode, "Say the Word" the shocking events will lead the survivors on a very difficult end. Here's the official plot: "Rick struggles after experiencing another loss; Michonne has her suspicions about the governor, who throws a party for the people of Woodbury, but gives it an unusual twist." The next week's promo is right down.
