Episode Two starts to show us exactly
how dysfunctional this new group is. There's distrust, an
unwillingness to accept the way the world now is and members that
can't do anything right. Really though, the highlight of the episode
is the cat and mouse between Clem and the man that appears to be this
season's antagonist. Once again Clementine shows why she's the best
child in the various incarnations of The Walking Dead.
The action sequences in this episode
don't seem as forced as some of the previous episodes, they actually
serve a purpose in showing new acquaintances what Clementine is
capable of. Clem strikes up at least one new friendship that
promises to evolve in interesting ways as the rest of this season
progresses.
The second half of the episode is chock
full of surprise appearances and events that will leave you with
mixed feelings for just about everyone you encounter. The climax
changes the direction you're going completely, and the outlook is
bleak. The defiance in Clem's eyes should let you know that all is
not lost, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Conclusion:
I felt that this episode was incrementally better than the previous
one. We really get to the meat of the conflict this season, setting
up for what should be explosive future episodes.
