S07E01 - Thriller, horror, terror and excitement. Leading to sadness, anxiety and resentment. So many emotions aroused. This was the walking dead at its finest. When it's on form it shines and there isn't much to match it on TV. There is a flip side to this though. It seems to me that after we get a great episode we are then punished with an appallingly bad one. As the focus switches to Carol we are introduced to the utterly ridiculous and laughable Ezekiel- King of the Kingdom. Which incidentally (the kingdom) has been done in almost every season predating this one. For no apparent reason the ridiculous king wants to help Carol and keep her in the kingdom. Carol aimlessly wanders around for a bit talking to this ridiculous king and then the show ends. Wow that was bad my wife and I mutter. Utterly dumbfounded after the amazing entertainment last week. Why is this show a 1 or a 10! I understand they can't blow the budget on every episode but seriously- this?!
