The Walking Dead - 2x02 - Bloodletting

    Carl gets taken to Hershel's farm, where some emergency work is done on him.  Carl is surviving, but in order to get the remaining bullet fragments out, they need some medical supplies.  Rick has gives a few transfusions to help keep Carl alive, while Shane and Otis drive out to gather the medical supplies from a nearby high school.  In the meantime, everyone else makes their way back to the RV on the road, after not finding Sophia.
    Like every Walking Dead episode, it's a real mixed bag.  This one is pretty dull, although it ends on a high note.  Lori remains incredibly useless.  She exists to over-react.  She's surprisingly unappreciative of Hershel, who already saved her son's life.
    I noticed one other thing that I didn't like.  Shane is being a jerk to Otis when they're running to the farm with Carl's body.  I suppose I can't expect a cop to know how to motivate people without being a jerk.
    Andrea is still a pain.  She gets another scene with a zombie, and seems much more helpless than she should be.
    And Dale is bug-eyed and less fatherly than he should be.
    But as I said, the episode ends on a high note.  Shane and Otis have gotten the medical supplies that they need, and are now stuck behind a security gate with lots of zombies trying to reach them.
    Yeah, TV is pretty stingy with the action.
