The Walking Dead - 2x05 - Chupacabra

    Daryl gets thrown by his horse while he's out looking for Sophia.  He hallucinates his brother picking on him to motivate his way out of his situation.  Maggie and Glenn have some awkwardness, then she decides she likes him, leading to Glenn entering Hershel's barn.  Shane tries to persuade Rick that it's not in their best interest to focus their resources on finding Sophia.
    While this episode isn't evenly great, it does play better than many of this season.  Daryl's situation is interesting, and his ability to get out of it has more tension than many of the other situations of the seasons do.  It's nice that it doesn't come across as a manufactured situation.  He doesn't make any obvious mistakes in handling himself.
    And his getting shot by Andrea on the way back plays out very well.
    On the other side of things, all the other plots are uninteresting.  Lori is still being overly emotional, Hershel is still being weird.  At least Dale doesn't come across like a jerk in this episode.
