The Walking Dead: Welcome to the Tombs (2013)
Decisions, Welcome to the Tombs
It is time for the Governor's second raid on the prison. Enter the Governor beating a random person, who is revealed to be Milton. Milton revealed he burned the walkers and the Governor decides that he should kill Andrea, who is locked up. Milton refuses and the Governor stabs him repeatedly in order to torture Milton and ensure he returns to eat Andrea as a walker. As the Governor leads his soldiers into Woodsbury, Tyreese and Sasha pull out and state they will defend the old and young left in Woodsbury while the Governor attacks the prison. The Governor then heads to the prison and Martinez and other henchmen open fire. They search the prison ground and killing multiple walkers and are blasted by flash bangs. Glenn and Maggie in riot gear fire at the Woodsbury members and run them off. Meanwhile, Carl decides to kill the remaining Woodsbury member who was disarming himself. Rick is informed on this by Hershel who decides that it was not self-defense. When Rick confronts this, Carl reveals he blamed Rick for not killing Andrew, who got Lori and T-Dog killed and the Governor, who killed Merle. Rick heads out and learns the Governor executed his own men, including Allen, but excluding Martinez and another henchman, from Woodsbury survivor Karen. When Rick's group arrives at Woodsbury, they inform Tyreese and Sasha, with the help of Karen, of what the Governor did. Tyreese also learns that people are held captive in a layer of Woodsbury, where they find Andrea, who was bitten by Milton and then murdered him as a walker. Andrea explains she returned to Woodsbury to execute the Governor, but could not because she did not want to see others die. Michonne cries as Rick gives Andrea his pistol, to ensure she will not return as a walker. Rick's group then takes the remaining Woodsbury members, assisted by Tyreese back to the prison. A decision only objected by Carl. Rick realizes that he no longer sees Lori, and off in the background we see a grave, either of Merle, Lori, T-Dog, or Andrea. Merle would be connected to Daryl, Lori to Rick, Carl and Judith, T-Dog to Carol and Daryl, and Andrea to Michonne, and the rest of Rick's group. The grave also is symbolism of the title, Welcome to the Tombs. Till next season.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Great show with a few flaws
Certainly one of the best TV shows, I have seen in a long time. Focusing on the world, after the dead have risen back to life, this show also features how people in that type of world would do almost anything to stay alive, at any costs. I'm a huge fan of the comic, and have to say the comics are a perfect blend of insanity, torture and the loss of hope. Although, this show is good, it misses key components that would make the TV series near perfection and as good as Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, etc. However, the show does have pivotal moments, like the Sophia walker and Lori's death. It also includes new characters, like Daryl, Merle, T- Dog, etc. I have noticed that all of the characters in the show have a role to play, but I would recommend not to get too attached as all are destined to die. I am looking forward to Rick's speech, if the show ever picks up, about how all of the survivors are The Walking Dead, living on borrowed time.
