| Andrew Lincoln in 'Walking Dead' |
We begin the 4th season of 'Walking Dead' with the third showrunner in Scott Gimple, but Gimple follows your lead of predecessor Glen Mazzara inside how he launches the first full season at the helm. Season 3 began using a time jump so we're able to see how much Rick's group had evolved into the efficient but desperate fighting machine efficient at conquering the prison. The modern season picks up well following your prison group merged while using Woodbury survivors, and again we've seen our people have gotten much better and smarter at surviving within the zombie post-apocalypse - this time in a more relaxing direction. Rick is any farmer now, who must be urged to strap on his gun even to search just beyond the fences to check the animal traps. You will discover organized meals, regular patrols and provide runs, and even a storytime for your kids - albeit just one where Carol (who's evolved approximately any character on the show) is offering zombie-fighting lessons when another grownups are not around.
Around the one hand, it's always heartening to determine the characters mastering the skills and routines that might be necessary to survive within a world like this. It's basic stuff that doesn't ought to be the focus of each and every episode, but it suggests a fundamental level of competence which makes it easier for us to pay attention to the interpersonal drama, your action, etc. Though I still don't understand why Rick would have chosen to relocate everybody into the prison in contrast to taking over Woodbury - from your story standpoint, anyway; from your production and budget standpoint, it makes perfect impression - '30 Days Without an Accident' did a convincing job of earning the prison at this stage feel like a good spot for a be, and of establishing a really different mood for your group (including smiles and also banter) as Rick targets on his gardens and the pigs while Hershel as well as the rest of 'the council' create the decisions. And anything devoid of the Governor in it - regardless of whether Michonne has been out searching for him - is a significant improvement over the back 1 / 2 season 3.
On another hand, the show can run into trouble while things are too relaxing, as we saw during the Hershel's farm arc. And though I appreciate the need to show how the group has expanded giving us all these brand new faces, they all - actually Larry Gilliard from 'The Wire' because former Army medic Bob - have the air of redshirts, there to be picked off individually, just like Oscar as well as the additional prisoners, while the almost all the main cast survives. Beth's attitude for the newbies - friendly, but not emotionally invested, so she won't feel bad when many of them inevitably die - could well be how Gimple expects us to experience them.
The action set piece at a supermarket, with zombies falling over the ceiling, was tense and macabre and weird in ways the show does wonderfully, and though I thought all along that Rick's brand new Irish friend wasn't telling him the full truth, the idea of this insanely lonely woman retaining her husband's zombified head within a sack for companionship illustrated just how important it is in which Rick has gathered many people around him, even if most of them are likely doomed to finish up like Zack, or the little one who coughs himself to death within the bathroom, creating a new walker in the prison walls.
Interesting start to this season, but that's never been the matter for this show, no matter who's accountable for it. Will Gimple manage to maintain a level regarding quality and consistency more than a long period? We'll have to delay and see.
