THE WALKING DEAD
November 24, 2013  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Last week’s episode was a highly dramatic entry from left field. It was a flashback episode devoted solely to a currently dormant recurring character, David Morrissey’s The Governor, showing what happened to him after the destruction of his seemingly idyllic city (which was anything but).  Basically, it was a stand-alone futuristic episode of The Fugitive, with the Governor as a worn-out Richard Kimble, wandering around eluding zombies instead of a persistent Lieutenant Gerard. The episode ended with the same image from the end of the previous episode, with the Governor outside the gates of the prison fortress housing our regular “family” of zombie fighters. But is he there with ill intent, or seeking protection and absolution? Or, given this show’s chilling history, is it a little of both?
