S4 E1: 30 Days Without An Incident
I found the season premiere a whole lot better than Season 3's premiere. Yes it's cool to watch zombies die in awesome ways, but we can use more character story and development for the show, and the premiere this time delivered both awesome zombie kills and character development.
It's been somewhat 6 months after the events in Woodsbury as Rick and the rest of the survivors are shown raising this new community and life in the prison. With more than 30 people living in the prison as a shelter, we begin to see conflicts arise and these conflicts will sure cause quite a stir later on, but unlike previous seasons, we are immediately introduced the main conflict for this season: illness. The premiere as well had its fun moments with the whole zombie store scene as it completely captured the good ol' zombie genre we all know and love, minus some of the bad CGI and special effects. The makeup in the show is always amazing and beautifully as it shows its full glory in that scene.
VERDICT: 30 Days Without An Incident was somewhat a strong opening to what will be a strong season. As each new storyline is established, it's hard to tell what else is to come.
S4 E2: Illness
Episode completely raises the bar as of now for Season 4. This episode felt like episode 4 of last season (Lori dead, T-Dog bitten). This episode finally showed the main conflict in action (illness). This as well is the first time we ever see the community under attack as we watch how they handle the situation, in which case, isn't handled very well because 15 people died due to a Harry Potter look-a-like getting sick and becoming a zombie. This episode was the perfect way to add on and explain how serious the issue of this virus is and as well, explains a traitor is amongst the group.
