TV Review: "The Walking Dead" Season 2 (up to episode 11)

So, I just finished watching the 11th episode of "The Walking Dead," where a major character died. And it sucks, because he was one of my favorite characters. When the majority of people were against him, he stood the moral high ground, and adamantly did not want the kid killed. But I had a bad feeling, a feeling that he was going to die at some point this season. Plus, I knew a major character dies, so it makes sense. Although, who knows, more people may die. The strength of this show is its characters. We really grow to like them. The season did start out a bit slow, especially with the constant search for Sophia, but this second half has really picked up. And introduced a new threat: the living. Dale stood for the old world, the civilized world, and with him gone, there's no true moral center. Rick tries, but he is folly to the sways of what he feels is expected of him, regardless of his own beliefs. With Dale gone, who knows what's going to happen now. And Carl is turning into a brat and a threat. The kid doesn't listen repeatedly, he brought the zombie over to the farm, and inadvertently got Dale killed. Ugh. The show is getting really good, and I love that the main focus is truly on good, strong character development.
