The Walking Dead continues to be one of the least consistent (if, always
enjoyable) TV shows currently airing. Many episodes are haphazard, with
some scenes a tad too long or moments of action and fore perhaps too short
for what fans want and expect. Episode 1 of Season 4 had a sporadic scene
of zombie-infused madness and weapons shooting, hacking and stabbing, not
quite as nail-biting as previous episodes. The episode did, however, end on
quite a spectacular cliff-hanger, for an episode still quite hit and miss.
Major spoilers follow
Vincent Martella’s Patrick had a pretty brief stint in the new season. It
makes sense for a show where more people die than Game of Thrones; Patrick
got the sniffles instantly signalling his demise. At the end of “30 Days
without an Accident” the poor lad dropped dead with his eyes bleeding.
“Infected” doesn’t actually start with the boy shuffling around the prison;
it has one short prologue, and a quiet scene that leads up to it.
As if the tension of knowing Patrick lurks around the sleeping prison
wasn’t enough, director Guy Ferland starts the episode showing an unknown
figure feeding the zombies at the chain fence (a gruesomely realistic shot
showing a rat get devoured). It’s unexplained and concise in its screen
time, an enigma that so far isn’t resolved.
For a show that isn’t too focused on scares, “Infection” starts like a
clichéd horror film. Karen and Tyreese are enjoying each other’s late night
company when Karen insists she go back to her room. Tyreese’s “Under my
Skin” crooning wasn’t smooth enough it seems. On Karen’s walk back – in
absolute darkness – the torch she’s using begins to lose its power. A
knowing audience will see this as a very common trope in horror, so far
absent in The Walking Dead. The clues just keep on comin’ after that, too –
sudden noises to rouse Karen’s suspicions, shower curtain upon shower
curtain hiding all kinds of possibilities, and, of course, the foolish
protagonist who goes investigating into the darkness. Despite all this
anticipation, Patrick does not uncover himself until Karen leaves. A
perfect way to finish that build-up, it only leaves Patrick undetected,
able to do more damage.
The Walking Dead Season 4 - Episode 2And damage he does. Killing off one
character has a domino effect where nearly all of Cell Block D are infected
or dead. Meanwhile the walkers outside are clawing at the fence, putting
pressure on the basis of their security. As we don’t see what’s happening
in D for about 10 minutes, there is profound dread felt by the viewer as we
wait for the chaos to be noticed. When the alarm is sounded, the sanctuary
becomes a battleground.
“Infected” sums up the episode better than most of The Walking Dead’s
titles. For this episode, not only do many of the team suffer an infection,
but “infected” also relates to the virus spreading into the refuge.
Michonne coming back to help after hearing gunshots is nearly bit when a
select few walkers follow her in. It’s a minute mishap but it speaks
volumes for how bad things are getting. Michonne’s rescue also alerts a ton
of the undead. Even with the Governor vanished there is still enough terror
lurking all around.
Inside Cell D wails and walkers fill the scene – it may not take long to
kill all the infected but it leaves a lot of destruction in its wake. This
is where the episode starts to lull. Fans are prepared for this and
solemnly let it slide. It isn’t all terrible and having the group find out
and ruminate over the new disease is interesting. They are without any
proper dilemmas currently so throwing a flu-like, deadly disease into the
mix helps with the dramatic impact.
Council meetings, deliberations over death (Carol helping two young girls
kill their father before he turns) and Michonne’s fear of babies makes up
most of the remaining episode. It’s nothing special or exciting, but after
the first 20 minutes, thought (and lots and lots of dialogue) is required.
The writers may have been aware of this respite in action and so throw in a
walker breach (well, a near-breach where the fence almost gives way to the
mass of biting, snatching monsters).
The Walking Dead Season 4 - Episode 2Perfectly in keeping with the theme of
the episode, the close-collapse of the fence leads to the piglets being
sacrificed as bait (a diversion away from the fence). With the group
pushing against the force of the walkers puts enormous pressure on the
decaying bodies of the undead. Every episode has one stand-out example of
make-up/effects (henceforth known as “Walker Win” for weekly reviews) and
“Infected” it is unquestionably the shot of a walker’s head pushing through
the chain face, with its face slicing through the grid. It’s all too much
for Rick et al, giving them the idea of using the piglets. As their mother
had died (from unknown reasons) it’s also a reason to get rid of what could
be a litter of infected bacon. Animal rights activist would surely not
approve but it does the job. Played out with the long, grave song of a
violin, it’s a powerful scene highlighting the show’s best facet – the
melancholy spurring out of seemingly unimportant events.
Ending in a similar vein to episode 1, Tyreese finds two burnt bodies on
the roof. A self-sacrifice/suicide, it’s another two bodies in the prison
dead and gone. If Season 3 marked a larger world uninfected, Season 4 is
slowly killing them off.
