‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2 Midseason Premiere Preview

The Walking
Dead season 2 is still a heavily-debated
event, with some fans praising the show for its slow burn drama
and character development, while other fans boo it as a simply
a boring show that is suffering from the dreaded sophomore
slump.

Despite the difference in overall opinion, it’s hard to deny
that
season 2 midseason finale, left us in a good (in this case
meaning awful and tragic) place, and in doing so, helped the
show redeem itself by both delivering cathartic payoff to the
overarching mystery, and setting the stage for some major
fallout.

Today we have a clip from the upcoming midseason premiere of
The Walking Dead - a clip that covers the first 3
minutes of episode 208, “Nebraska” which picks up just moments
after the midseason finale, with the camera literally fading
back in on the image of Rick Grimes pulling the trigger to blow
the brains out of little zombie Sophia.

Check the aftermath of trauma, anger, grief and all the other
chaos following the Hershel’s barn massacre, below:

The difference between The Walking Dead and your
average horror film (for better or worse) is that the impact of
the terrible events that occur is real and present in the minds
of the characters. Rather than speedily running from one
horrifying moment onto the next with little or
no discernible trauma (as the characters in horror
movie often seem able to do), death’s touch weighs heavy on the
survivors, and in that clip you can already see the cracks
between them starting to widen – wether in pronounced ways
(like Shane’s immediate accusations against Hershel) or subtle
ways (Carol pushing Daryl off her when he tries to comfort
her). While slow-burn psychodrama might not be what
everyone wants in a zombie horror show, there are
certainly many of us who appreciate the juicier fare.

Good news for those currently unhappy with The Walking
Dead: If the season 2.5 trailer is any indication, we’ll
be in for more zombies and more action as well.

The Walking Dead returns @9pm
