It was a one-episode deal with their option to bring me back for season five. It’s pretty shocking! There were a bunch of surprises. That was fast! Were you surprised how quickly Gareth was killed off? Read more ‘Walking Dead’ EP on the Show’s Dual Blow: Bob ‘Put Himself in the Line of Fire’ The Hollywood Reporter caught up with West to discuss Gareth’s early exit, filming the death scene and whether this is the last viewers will see of the good guy turned cannibal. It all leads to a brutal confrontation inside Father Gabriel’s ( Seth Gilliam) church that concludes with Rick ( Andrew Lincoln) killing Gareth with a machete - a vow he made when he was inches from death at Terminus. Gareth winds up returning Bob to the church group, where he’s forced to say a proper farewell to girlfriend Sasha ( Sonequa Martin-Green), who with Rick vows to exact revenge on the cannibals. West) and his goons that he’s “tainted meat” and had been bitten when he was pulled underwater by a zombie at the food bank, mirroring a major arc from the comic series. The zombie hellscape can be unpredictable that way.Rick Grimes made good on a major promise during Sunday’s The Walking Dead.ĭuring the third episode of season five, the zombie drama based on Robert Kirkman‘s comic series, made quick work of one of the show’s most disturbing new threats.Īfter kidnapping Bob ( Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), cutting off his leg and eating it, the story of the so-called Hunters - and Bob - came to a shocking end. Now, even though its lead character may be essentially gone, there are even more reasons to think so.
#THE WALKING DEAD SEASON TWO SUNSET HOW TO#
The helicopter itself portended a more advanced civilization out there, one that might have some clue about the science fiction dose the show has needed, namely how to cure zombie-ism.Īnd in the teasers for upcoming episodes, there was finally a hint of something else I’ve cried out for to make the show more interesting: The zombies might just be evolving in ways that would give their snarls actual menace.Īfter a so-so season premiere, I and many other observers have felt “The Walking Dead” was already much improved this year as, ironically, its faithful fans seemed to be tuning out. There was a time jump, and suddenly Rick’s (Shane’s) daughter Judith was old enough to be killing zombies with a pistol. Is it a cop-out not to kill him? Unless the place he goes to makes the story more interesting, yes.īut a whole lot of promising things happened at the end of that episode. So Rick is off presumably being saved somewhere, but will no longer be part of the regular cast. And Rick’s people starting sobbing because their long-time leader and, in Michonne’s case, lover was gone.īut wait there was more! It turned out Rick washed up down river after somehow surviving the explosion - again, man of steel - and Jadis / Anne got him onto one of those helicopters she’s been talking with. Zombies started falling in the river like flaming lemmings. The bridge went kaboom, but louder than that. There were Rick’s people, who had shown up at the last minute to try to save him but simply didn’t have the numbers. This was surprising, because as a rule this series’ undead do not seem particularly discerning.Īlso surprising, at least to those of us who typically find dream sequences to be the worst thing in fiction: These moments of hyperconsciousness were affecting, even emotional, the back-and-forth banter with Shane, who Rick had to kill many seasons ago, the form of absolution from Hershel, the promise of a better place.Īnd then Rick was on the repaired bridge he had been trying to steer the walkers away from. He learned along the way, or we did, that zombies will ignore horsemeat on the hoof to try to get at a human inside a house.
