The (different) members of group attended the memorial, though they burned Dale’s body rather than simply lay him in the ground.ĪMC: During the montage of Dale’s funeral, we observe Shane, Andrea, Daryl and T-Dog riding out to vent their frustration on some errant walkers. THE COMICS: Of course, Dale died much later in the comics, and under very different circumstances. ![]() Check it out, and let us know your opinions of The Walking Dead‘s “Better Angels” in the comments below!ĪMC: After the surprising and heartbreaking twist of Dale’s death, the survivors all attend his funeral “service,” buried alongside Sophia and the others of Hershel’s family, with Rick presiding over. and its own developments, we’ve compiled an in-depth guide for fans of the comic as well as AMC’s The Walking Dead to enjoy. So what’s next for The Walking Dead?Īs AMC’s incarnation weaves in and out of storylines from the books and adds its own original characters. It helped keep things from going too far over the top, and the emotional sweetness was a good counterpoint to some of the brutality on display, both to the skull of the walker in the opening and at the very end of the episode.The Walking Dead season 2 shambles out its latest entry with its twelfth episode “Better Angels,” but how does it hold up to the comic book continuity? The tensions only escalate as Shane concocts a plan of his own to kill Randall (Michael Zegen) and Rick, while Glenn and Daryl make a troubling discovery outside of the camp. While the musical cues were uncharacteristically heavy-handed, the acting actually was a bit muted. Some credit also goes to director Guy Ferland as well, for putting both the emotional Rick/Carl and the emotional Glenn/Andrea scenes back to back. Or maybe he’ll just continue to function as comic relief when he’s not smashing zombies with a mallet. It’s also rare, and I think that since he’s been something of a cypher due to the growing group, he’s also one of the few characters who doesn’t have any baggage and can be used freely in season three and beyond. Strangely, I really like T-Dog as a character, if only because he’s the only one who doesn’t give long-winded speeches at the drop of a hat. I also like some of the more subtle changes that have happened with characters in the past few episodes, such as Hershel taking Rick’s people in as actual working members of the farm and the fact that T-Dog both gets jobs to do and lines in the same episode! I think this episode is the most action T-Dog has gotten since the first season of the show. Glenn’s reaction is very understated, but also very moving. Considering they were the two characters closest to Dale, this is very appropriate. There was a nice bonding moment there between Andrea, Glenn, and Dale’s old RV. Some moments didn’t work at all, such as the father/son talk between Rick and Carl in which Rick gives the most depressing pep talk ever before handing his preteen, obviously-upset son, a loaded weapon. ![]() There’s serious exchanges handled well, some intentional comedy, some more of Lori being evil and manipulative, and some shocking, sudden violence. Reilly and Glenn Mazzara should just write the whole show next season, if only because they’re the only two writers on the staff at the moment who seem to be able to handle scenes needing gravity and reasonable dialog exchanges. Then again, when you’ve got an action man like Shane hanging around, situations tend to get resolved even when nobody’s ready for that to happen.Įvan T. The group is getting nervous, and Shane is growing increasingly more volatile.Īlthough, from the way more walkers seem to be finding their way to the farm, the volatile situation is only going to get worse for all involved. They’re wandering the farm, they’re checking fences, they’re killing groups of roamers who get too close… it seems as though the frying pan of Hershel’s farm is getting a little hotter. The conscience and the group’s counterpoint to Shane is now gone (thanks to a very impressive zombie gutting scene and a bullet to the head from good old Daryl), but the zombie strike has scared the group straight. As you saw last week, poor beloved Dale is now on the other side of the grave, thanks to the very same walker that Carl freed from the swamp bog. ![]()
