The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 9 “Triggerfinger” (B+)
In terms of strong openings, the shot of Lori lying unconscious in the crashed car and awakening, screaming, to the sight of a walker trying to crawl into the car only feet away from her face was definitely up there. I’m glad that Shane found her quickly, since this could have turned into a whole new Sophia situation. Shane lying to her about Rick being back at camp was important, however, since she now realizes that Shane is too far gone to stick around, and the episode’s closing conversation implies that she wants Rick to kill Shane before he kills Rick. The aftermath of the shooting at the bar was quite intense, and both Hershel and Rick are far too good to leave behind a dying man to suffer an awful fate. Bringing back Randall, played by Michael Zegen of “Rescue Me” and “How to Make It in America,” was kind but is likely to incite much infighting among the residents of the farm. Shane managed to spill the beans about Lori being pregnant too, and that’s most notable for how inquisitive and excited it made Carl. Glenn being upset at himself for not wanting to die so that Maggie wouldn’t be sad was sweet in its own way, but I imagine that it’s going to work against their relationship rather than for it. Hershel seems okay with letting them stay on his farm longer, but I suspect that a sharp division is coming soon thanks to Shane, and it looks like Andrea’s going to be on the wrong side of things.
