In my opinion, the second season of AMC's 'The Walking Dead' was a huge improvement after a great but not incredible first season, despite a fantastic pilot episode. The last few episodes of this series have been packed full of blood, deaths and startling moments, but I believe the season finale takes the top spot.

After Rick had no choice but to eliminate his best friend (Shane) as Shane was planning on shooting him, the survivors were all eager to fully understand what had happened. In the penultimate episode, Dale's brutal demise was really unpleasant and emotional, which made Shane's death even more unanticipated and dark. Rick tells his wife Lori about the incident and says that in desperate circumstances sometimes you have to do what has to be done. Following his confession, Lori seemed relatively angry and upset about Shane's murder, although she was clearly relieved that she's now in a safer position. Rick later informs the entire group that he was responsible for the passing of Shane, which results in elation, but also sadness.

Previously, Andrea was my least favourite character, due to her appalling decision making (eg. Shooting Daryl), unnecessary attitude and evident weakness, however in this episode, she seemed to be doing a brilliant job taking down several walkers, which has changed my opinion on her slightly.

Hershel was practically forced by the others to unbridle his inner fighter, after the barn zombies (who he believed were just sick people who needed to be cured) were mercilessly slaughtered in the seventh episode of the series. It was really powerful to see such a substantially religious man helping everyone out with killing to defend the farm, even though they were the primary reason his home was destroyed.

At the beginning of the episode, I thought it was cool seeing how the walkers managed to reach the survivors and invade the farm in the first place by following the helicopter in which Rick was also using for navigation in the first moments of the series. The episode was one of the most thrilling and action-packed of them all, as the main storyline is just one epic final battle against the walkers, as Hershel's farm becomes increasingly destructed.

The end of this episode sees Rick aggressively speaking to his team and reassuring them that they will stay alive as long as they stick together, but Andrea has just encountered a mysterious figure in the forest, with two armless people after they saved her life. Upon hearing Rick's ideas, Glenn and Carol have differing thoughts, which an assertive Rick immediately dismisses. This lines up series three to be a really exciting and strong season and I am confident that it will be.… Expand
