The Walking Dead - 2x09 - Triggerfinger

    Rick, Glenn, and Hershel are all still at the bar, where they're trying to deal with a group of survivors that are attacking.  Lori wakes up from her accident, and eventually is found by Shane.  In escaping the town, Rick and company save a guy who was injured, and bring him back to camp to get fixed up.
    While this episode starts off well, the second half of it slows down a lot.  We get a bunch of scenes of Lori being scared of Shane's behavior.  Mostly, by being warned by Dale, now Lori has started to be more nervous about what he does.
    Mostly, everyone seems to be a bit insecure in this episode, except Shane, who is still convinced that he's right.  I did like that Andrea gave him reasonable advice.  Making it clear that Shane is doing the right thing, but he's not being persuasive about it.
    There have been a few scenes over the last two episodes which deal with Carol and Daryl.  Daryl suddenly is left without a plot to follow without Sophia to look for.  Carol no longer has a motivating force either.  In a strange way, I'd like to see the two of them become a couple.
    This is also the last episode that I've already seen.  The rest of this season is new to me.

    I've also been holding onto this thought in the meantime.  The picture quality of this show has gone downhill.  The first season looked great on Blu-ray.  This season looks overly grainy, the colors seem more washed out than usual.
