RECAP
There's no surprise at all, how The Walking Dead's midseason finale (the 8th episode, titled "Make Me Suffer") tops the list of the best episodes of the entire series. After all, creator Robert Kirkman written it, that made entrance to a new favorite character from the comic, Tyreese (played by Chad Coleman). Kirkman doesn't waste a frame in the episode, characters are dramatically developed and the tension swiftly escalated.
In the episode, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) commences an assault in order to rescue Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) who are held captive in Woodbury. The mission's objective was to infiltrate the forfeited town and the military-grade walls that surround it, retrieve the allies and then go straight back home to prison. This is proposed by the at-fucking-last talking Michonne (played by Danai Gurira), who until two episodes ago, were all-glares and suspicions. She was startling back then, now she is (permit this should it sound exaggerated) astonishing. Her sequences by the equally unnerving but miles creepier Governor (David Morrissey) is frankly the highlight of the finale.
The Governor and what he stands for, in a swing of Michonne's samurai are all gone. His daughter Penny, a walker who he keeps hiding from the townspeople of Woodbury, is discovered by Michonne, found Governor in shock and...SLASH! The daughter is impaled by a well-weilded Japanese sword. The father builds up to an uproar and bursts out to a rage making for a very tense and impressively filmed action scene. Merle (Michael Rooker) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) are to find each other in here, thrust to the center of the finale's painful cliffhanger that you want to kill the month of January if it is in any reality palpable enough to be killed, so February is a month earlier.
Tyreese brings along a band of suvivors, including his wife, a bug-eyed husband and his bitten wife and his lonesome son. He runs across the remainder of Rick's group which currently has Carl (Chandler Riggs) lead. The gore in this episode is fittingly upgraded featuring delicious zombie kills that may be considered as one of the best among those of all zombie mediums of the year.
Some minor things revealed in the episode are, 1.) Andrea (Laurie Holden, Silent Hill) is not entirely a bitch after all, 2.) Carol (Melissa McBride) is not a lesbian unlike what others think, or so only the other convict, and 3.) Beth (Emily Kinney) seem to be destined to be a backdrop character in the entire show (which I hope not, shine some light to this girl, will you?)
Everyone who can't wait until February next year, throw up your hands? See? 15.2 million hands were raised, one of those were mine.
