    In the first thirty minutes of "Triggerfinger", I was biting my nails, on the edge of my seat, and always full of suspense. This shootout was one of the best moments in "The Walking Dead".

    The episode didn't take any time at all to get started. From the start Rick, Hershel, and Glenn find the rest of Dave's and Tony's crew who begin to search for them . . . guns loaded. When they try to enter the bar, Glen pushes the door close and then starts a chain reaction of suspenseful scenes. We also see a new Hershel that we didn't even know existed. He knows how to shoot a gun and even shoots a man down when they begin to attack Glenn in the streets. We also see Hershel not help the person he shot when three walkers begin to eat him alive. Even when they were trying to help a person who has an impaled leg on a spike, it was done very well. Rick automatically takes out his knife and asks Hershel, "will this cut through the bone" but at last second pulls the legs out of the spike. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but when there are numerous walkers around them and little to no ammo, that is the definition of suspense. The shootout wasn't only the most suspenseful part though. After getting over the ridiculous situation with Lori and the map, the walker slowly pushing through the car windshield was fantastic. The addition of seeing the walker's skin getting peeled off from the glass was a nice touch.

    Although the first half of the episode was masterful, the second half was a step back. Glenn, after being shook up from the fight, went to Maggie and said that when she said, "I love you," and the bullets began to fly, he was unable to help Hershel and Rick because if he died, he couldn't bare the thought of seeing Maggie upset. First of all, that was a weak answer that the writers thought of especially after the unbelievable scene where Maggie runs past Hershel and hugs Glenn instead . . . that would never have happened in real life. So it looks like their relationship is all but lost . . . but who knows. There was also a good scene with Carol letting Daryl vent at her because it looks like he is very upset with the outcome of Sophia. Carol also finds the ears of the walkers Daryl took which was a very nice touch.

    But the best scene of the second half was Lori telling Rick that she believes Shane killed Otis, that he thinks the baby is his and that Lori is his. This is the spark that will bring Rick and Shane into a confrontation that has been anticipated since Shane aimed at Rick in Season 1.

    "Triggerfinger" was a brilliant episode. The first half was unbelievable and even though the second half didn't have that big of an impact, it still was enjoyable to watch. There are four episodes left and it looks like they will have their hands full. It will be fun to see the outcome of Rick and Shane . . . all we do is have to wait until next Sunday which I can't be more excited about.

    Lori is attacked in her broken car by two walkers but she succeeds to kill them. Meanwhile, Rick, Hershel and Glenn are ready to leave the bar but the friends of Dave and Tony arrive in the town seeking their friends out and they are trapped in the spot. Tony tries to negotiate truce with the guys, but there is a shootout that attracts many walkers to town.

    In the farm, the survivors find that Lori is missing and Shane drive a car to seek her out on the road. When he meets Lori, he lies to her and tells that Rick is safe and sound in the farm. Later he tells to her that he did it to protect the baby and Lori.

    When the walkers arrive in the town, the strangers flee and leave behind one of their friends that is injured. Rick brings the guy to the farm and Shane is worried that the strangers find the farm. Lori decides to tell to Rick that Shane is dangerous and believes that her baby is also his.

    "Triggerfinger" is probably the tensest episode of "The Walking Dead". Lori's situation in the car; the fight of Rick, Hershel and Glenn against the violent strangers; the guy left behind surrounded by walkers.

    The dialogs between Andrea and Shane first and Lori and Rick later seems to be the promise of more tension in the relationship of the survivors in the next episodes. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Triggerfinger"

    Note: On 10 April 2016, I saw this show again.

    Had heard nothing but great things about 'The Walking Dead' from friends and IMDb reviewers. It took a while to get round to watching, both from being busy and also not being sure whether it would be my cup of tea. Finally getting round to it a few years ago and slowly working my way through it, having had a very long to watch and review list, 'The Walking Dead' turned out to be very much my cup of tea and as good as the hype made it out to be, have found it extremely addictive.

    "Triggerfinger" is another terrific episode to Season 2. Really appreciated the poignancy and the darker tone, foreshadowed in "Nebraska" and the tone is present here and of what was to come. And a strong reminder of how Seasons 1-5 of 'The Walking Dead' to me were absolutely brilliant and seeing the show in its full glory days (Season 6 was uneven, Season 7 was a huge disappointment and am still debating whether to watch Season 8). It is as emotional, complex and as tense as one would expect, at the same time it has adrenaline and guts.

    It still shocks me at how an intelligent, well-made (so much so that it is easy to mistake it for a film) show about zombies could be made when so many films have tried and failed abysmally to do so.

    Sarah Wayne Callies still doesn't do much for me and the way Lori's role and subplot here is written are frustratingly contrived like in "Nebraska".

    Like all the episodes of the show, "Triggerfinger" is incredibly well made in the production values, with gritty and audacious production design, photography of almost cinematic quality, effects that look good, have soul and are not overused or abused and pretty frightening make-up that make the zombies even more terrifying. The music is haunting and affecting, having presence but never being too intrusive.

    The writing generally is intelligent and thought-provoking, with lots of tension and emotional resonance and already showing signs of character complexity and multiple layer storytelling. The more eventful scenes are thrilling and terrifying as well as uncompromising.

    Appreciated the ever strong and still progressing story and character building, which the episode has a bigger emphasis on, and that the pace is never dull or rushed, the fight with Rick, Glenn and Hershel has a lot of tension. The character writing, the character interactions, Shane's development and the unbelievable tension shown throughout the first half are what are particularly great here.

    Everything is tautly paced without rushing through the more important or action-oriented parts. The world building is already stunningly immersive and effective. Direction is smart and atmospheric while the show throughout has been strongly acted. Andrew Lincoln is an excellent lead though the entire cast apart from Callies are on fine form.

    Overall, terrific. 9/10 Bethany Cox

    This week, on "Days of Our Post-Apocalyptic Lives"…

    …but seriously. What has happened to the writing and story lines in AMC's "The Walking Dead"? A show that started its first season with six action-packed episodes of survival, zombie hunting, and exploding buildings, "The Walking Dead" has turned itself into a primetime soap opera that just happens to be set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world.

    When "Triggerfinger" opens, we find Lori still stuck in her car after the accident, Rick, Hershel, and Glenn trapped in the bar as the Philly boys turned out to have friends, and Shane and the gang on the farm sit to for dinner to find that Lori is missing.

    Before I talk against what this show has been doing, let me just say that there is no problem with a little melodrama in this series. There needs to be some inner-conflict with any group in a show, especially a show about survivors of a zombie apocalypse. However, there is a line, not even that fine of one, between melodrama and soap opera…"The Walking Dead" has definitely crossed it.

    In this single episode, we deal with an unbelievable amount of over- dramatic story lines. It all starts when Shane lies to Lori when he finds her, telling her Rick and the guys already made it back to the farm. Upon arriving back, Lori realizes Shane lied and gets ready to berate him on his morals and how he had no right to lie when Shane quickly jumps in to yell out how he knows she wouldn't come back if he hadn't lied and how he has to think about the baby. Discretion has been thrown out the window, as the entire group (including Carl) now knows that Lori is pregnant, to Lori's dissatisfaction. Way to go Shane…lie to the woman and then out her pregnancy to everyone all within the first few minutes of this episode.

    Meanwhile, Rick, Hershel, and Glenn get in a bit of a firefight and end up adding a member to their party when one of the guys shooting at them is left for dead by his buddy. With a sharp fencepost sticking straight through his leg and a horde of zombies approaching, Rick rips the leg off the fencepost and we cut to commercial. The next we see of the men, they have blindfolded the kid, brought him back to the farm, and plan to do surgery on his leg. The group is stunned by the story Rick gives of the men in the bar and their events in town, and many feel that they should just get rid of their new guest right away…most vocally Shane and Andrea.

    This is, essentially, the only events of this episode. The rest of "Triggerfinger" is packed with obnoxious and melodramatic conversations between literally EVERYONE (except T-Dog, who isn't involved in anything anymore): Shane telling Lori he thinks they should still be together; Lori telling Rick that Shane isn't safe; Glenn telling Maggie that her telling him that she loves him caused him to wimp out in town; Maggie yelling at Hershel for leaving; Daryl yelling at Carol for losing Sophia and trying to comfort him; Dale telling Andrea that she shouldn't trust Shane; Andrea telling Shane that she trusts him and agrees with him, but he is a little too harsh about how he does things….it's getting ridiculous.

    The worst part about all of this is that lines have been drawn in the sand and the audience already knows which side it is on: Rick's. I mean, can anyone out there HONESTLY try to tell me that they are cheering for Shane to get back with Lori, raise the baby with her, and lead this group to a better life? Take a look at a well written show on AMC (the same network) called "Breaking Bad" (which just won the two big awards for drama series at the Writers Guild Awards last night). When lines are drawn on that show between Walt and Jesse, there is no clear cut favorite to cheer for. Walt is the protagonist with many flaws and faults and Jesse is the supporting lead that comes from a troubled past, but is starting to turn his life for the better. This is a decent conflict. The problem with "The Walking Dead" is the show has completely labeled who each character is and what they will do in a given situation (see last week's review of "Nebraska"). We know who we like and who we don't in the group. Instead of throwing a wrench in our perspective by changing the characters a little bit with every conversation, the show only further validates the perceptions we have of each and every one of these characters. This show is not going to be able to continue like this if it wants to be captivating television that the audience won't shake its head at. The story lines are over-dramatic and lame, the characters are obvious and forced, and the show is going nowhere fast.

    Daryl is broken and put people aside, but Carol want him back and recieve every word punch directly. Shane is more and more obsessed with Lori and show an agressive personality that could end in violence. But keeps his cool. Andrea tells him that he should be the one to guide the group, his presentation is what's lacking. Meanwhile Lori talk Rick into making Shane the villian and a danger for her family and their relation. And as such she seems to expect Rick to kill Shane or setting things up with him.

    Plot In A Paragraph: With Rick, Glen and Hershel under attack in a bar, Shane goes in pursuit of Lori who has got herself in to trouble.

    Laurie Holden as Andrea continues to be the most blind and naive person on the show, whilst Sarah Wayne Callies Lori is annoying and Shane is hot-headedly unstable

    The episode started off action packed and then went in to full on character building for the remainder. Lori is playing a dangerous game with the things she is saying to Rick at the end. I'm not saying the things she said are wrong, but the manipulative way she put it to Rick annoyed the living hell out of me

    I'm glad we are getting more episodes this season. Which is just as well given all the new additions to the cast.

    This is the ninth episode of the second season of Breaking Bad and it's a great episode that has a rather appropriate title. I say that because there are many events here that triggers what is to come. This has a fine mix of dramatic and action elements and this makes for an exciting episode.

    In this episode, "Triggerfinger," Rick, Glenn, and Hershel becomes involved in a shootout and when the walkers attack, they end up saving one of people shooting at them from the walkers. Meanwhile, Lori believes that Shane is becoming dangerous.

    Overall, this is an excellent episode and I can most certainly praise the character development here, especially with Shane. We can truly see the monster Shane is starting to become. I rate this episode 9/10.
