Two episodes in and The Walking Dead is continuing its progress of slow build up. We know something is going to happen very soon and it makes us want more which is a very good thing. I have never read the comic books before so I have no idea what's going to happen but I feel something coming soon.
"Bloodletting" was a good episode from start to finish. There wasn't a lot of zombie killing at all during this episode; it was all story driven. The episode opens up with Lori being told that Rick was shot back in the first episode. Then it immediately goes back to Rick running towards a house with Carl dying in his hands. We learn that a hunter didn't see Carl behind the deer and the bullet went through it and hit Carl in the stomach. It was great acting by Chandler Riggs who plays Carl. Even though he didn't say a word this episode, his pain acting was pretty good for a kid his age. Not bad kid, not bad. Andrew Lincoln as Rick was better this episode than the first. He was shaken up this episode and it showed.
Other than the Carl storyline, Lori and the others continued to look for the little girl who just ran off into the woods because that was the smartest thing she could do (sarcasm by the way). But when they return to Dale and T-Dog, they find T-Dog suffering from Blood poisoning after tripping and opening a vein in the last episode. It was pretty funny that the show spoofed Breaking Bad with the blue crystal meth inside Daryl's drug bag while he was looking for pain killers.
The ending was pretty good as well especially when Shane punches a zombie in the face . . . that was awesome by the way. One punch and it goes down to the floor . . . bada**. The ending in this episode was a little better than the previous episodes. I want to know how the hell they get out of that situation really badly.
Overall, "Bloodletting" was a solid episode. It wasn't brilliant but it wasn't average either. The story is progressing and little zombie killing is being made so far - I think only one dies this episode. But it was a solid episode that left me wanting more - something that was missing from last episodes ending. 7/10
