Tell It to the Frogs

After two tense first episodes where our characters had to figure out how to surrvive and escape, we slow down for a bit and focus on our characters!

Despite its slower nature, i still enjoyed this episode as it contained some heartwarming and emotional moments and introduces one of the BEST characters in the show.. Daryl Dixon! This guy steals the show from his first scene!

This episode stands as an important episode for Rick as well as giving us the first glimpse of the path that Shane will go down!

The end was satisfying and I really enjoyed the soundtrack!

Overall a slower but still strong episode!

After two action packed episodes, we get a more character driven episode. There is a lovely scene when Rick arrives at the camp. Lincoln has already shown he can be tough, here he is vulnerable.

We get a better look at the people in the camp, we get new characters such as The timid Carol, her abusive husband Ed and their daughter Sophia. We also get introduced to Merle's brother Daryl Dixon (who seems to be as hot headed as his brother) and we see Morales has a family too. Characters like Dale and Carol clearly are good people, and we see Ed is the rotten apple of the group, whilst Daryl is understandably furious about what has happened to his brother.

Lincoln is still the top performer, Jon Bernthall is given more to do as Shane here and Jeffrey DeMunn shines as Dale, while Daryl's anguish at the end of the episode was great, well done Norman Redus.

One of my problems with the cast is Sarah Wayne Callies. I didn't like her in performance in "Prison Break" and again, I find her unlikeable again here too.

The third installment is another great episode with solid character development and emotional revelations that fans wanted to see. Daryl Dixon and the great Carol Peletier made their first appearances, and Rick reunited with his family with a silent conflict at hand.

The Walking Dead gains traction as it goes deeper into the story. After the last episode, things slows down a little bit but not the intensity. We see some more heartfelt emotion especially the scene in the beginning where Merle is delirious due to exposure and the reunion scene between Rick and his family.

"Tell It To the Frogs" has Rick finding his family again due to the dismay of his best friend, Shane. After telling Merle's brother the bad news, Rick and some others head back to the city to rescue Merle. But a little surprise is in store for them.

Overall, this is still another good episode despite some slowness. But the slowness is good because we can see the way the people live in times of disaster. The shoe is getting better and better with each episode. I rate this episode 9/10.

Rick and the survivors return to the camp and he meets his wife Lori and his son Carl. Lori does not tell him about her affair with Shane and is upset and angry with Shane, since he told her that Rick was dead. The survivors have to face Merle's brother Daryl Dixon, who is also a violent man, to tell him that his brother was left behind. Rick decides to return to Atlanta to rescue Merle and his bag of arms and ammunition with Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog. However, when they reach the rooftop, they only find Merle's hand.

"Tell It to the Frogs" is a dramatic episode of "Walking Dead". Lori's embarrassment with the return of her husband that was presumed dead and Merle's despair are very dramatic situation. Shane is emotionally lost and frustrated with the arrival of his best friend and husband of the woman that he loves. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Tell It to the Frogs" (1.3)
