Still

Daryl and Beth search for some alcohol.

This is another reflective character driven episode that focuses on Daryl and Beth. Much like the episode 'After', I think you need to have an interest in the characters to appreciate it.

I think it starts fantastically with a great sequence set in the trunk of a car. This is a very effective use of sound and limited visuals to make a scene work well.

As the story unfolds on we get deeper insights into both characters and their current state of minds following everything they have experienced. Some of the more emotional moments feel slightly forced for the purpose of generating drama, however it does give insight into their backstories and put in the context of their current situation and future.

The privileged society imagery associated with the golf club juxtaposed with the redneck hootch cabin is a great idea, particularly as they are both at the same level of gruesome dilapidation following the zombie apocalypse. These settings work well alongside the histories of these two very different characters.

Daryl for me is generally a more likeable character than Beth. However, I think the stronger performance of the two actors in this episode is Emily Kinney. I think she does emotion in a more natural way, whereas Norman Reedus appears to be forcing it out at times. As ever, his delivery of Daryl's cynical one-liners are the best aspect of the episode.

If you've watched the show from the beginning until now, you know what the characters have been through. Watch this episode again and you'll see what it means. Daryl will be the last man standing and this episode should be ranked highly in the fandom of his character.

My favourite episode of the second part of the season so far. Criminally under rated on here.

I always do a plot in a paragraph, but this episode could be summed up in a sentence. So here is my plot in a sentence.

Plot In A Sentence. Daryl and Beth bond, as they continue their journey.

Both Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney totally knock it out of the park in this episode, putting in superb performances as they both fight and bond with each other.

The episode only features the two actors, the first time the show has had such a small cast.

I'm amazed that this episode is rated as the worst episode ever of The Walking Dead as this reviewer loved it.

Easily one of the highlights of the 4th season. It's not big on action but it's such an important episode for Daryl and Beth as characters - one of the strongest character development episodes of the series.

I thought this episode was great. I never thought that any kind of character relationship would work with Daryl and Beth, I always thought their personalities were too different, and this episode showed that. But the great writers of the walking dead, made it work, and turned it into one of my favourite character bonds in any series. My only disappointment is how underrated this episode is, people are complaining about the fact it was just Daryl and Beth, and that there wasn't much action, but I still found it one of the most entertaining episodes since the mid season premier.

Fantastic episode
