The fourth season of the successful series The Walking Dead was having a great beginning, which has left he quite in shock - you know I'm not that a defender of the series -. We were in the prison, where an epidemic had started that killed everyone in 48 hours - great idea to get rid of those expensive extras! -. So far so good. But we know it's difficult for TWD not to fuck it up during more than 5 episodes.
Tras conseguir por fin los medicamentos para curar la epidemia - y salvar a Glenn, el único personaje que nos podía preocupar que muriese -, la trama de la prisión pierde la intriga por completo. Por ello, al final del capítulo S04E05 vimos en las puertas de la prisión al "temido" Gobernador, acechando a Rick y los suyos. Y claro, uno se espera que la líe, que intente a cargarse a dos o tres y que Michonne y Glenn intenten tener su venganza. Pero no.
After getting the meds that would cure the epidemic - and save Glenn, who was the only character we were worried about -, the plot in the prison lost its intrigue. This is why, at the end of the episode S04E05 we saw at the gates of the prison the "feared" Governor, stalking Rick and his crew. And of course we all hoped he did something awesome, like trying to kill a few and let Michonne and Glenn take their revenge. But he didn't.
En el último episodio, S04E06 "Live Balt", hemos tenido lo que se podría calificar como "episodio de relleno estándar". La trama principal no solo no avanza, sino que desaparece por completo. Nos hemos encontrado con un capítulo en el que sólo aparece el Gobernador y en el que nos cuentan su historia desde que lo vimos por última vez la temporada pasada. Lo que yo decía, de relleno.
The last episode, S04E06 "Live Balt", is what we can define as the classic episode without any interest that the writers put just to fill the 16 episodes they have to do per season. Not only the main plot doesn't go on, but it doesn't even appear in the episode. We have watched an episode in which the only known character was the Governor and in which they tell us the story of what happened with him after we last saw him last season. What I was saying, no interest.
Nos relatan la historia de una familia completamente ajena al mundo zombie, que ha conseguido sobrevivir encerrada en su apartamento durante todo el apocalipsis. Tras la muerte del abuelo, deciden que no quieren seguir quedándose en la casa - que yo me pregunto, si habéis sobrevivido tanto tiempo, ¿qué interés tenéis dos mujeres y una niña en iros corriendo con un perfecto desconocido con pintas de que se ha escapado del manicomio? -, y se van de aventuras con nuestro adorable Gobernador.
They tell us the story of a family that is leaving completely out of the zombie world, that has managed to survive in an apartment all this time. After the death of the grandfather, the decide that they don't want to stay anymore in that house - which makes me wonder, why the hell would two women and a young girl want to leave their safe house to leave with a complete stranger that looks like he has just run away from a nut house? -, and they decide to go in adventures with the lovely Governor.
Realmente esto es todo lo que pasa en el episodio - a excepción del reencuentro con su antiguo compañero -, por lo que yo me pregunto si lo que pretenden es darnos a entender que el Gobernador ha recuperado su humanidad o algo. ¿Irá con la bandera blanca de la paz a Michonne y a Glenn a ver si les hacen un hueco en la prisión a él con su nueva familia?
This is actually all that happens in the episode - apart from the meeting with his ex partner -, which makes me wonder if they are trying to make us sympathize with him makes us believe that he has changed. Is he going to the prison with the white flag hoping that Michonne and Glenn had forgotten everything and let him leave there with his newly found family?
Como momento destacable, y que conste que lo de destacable lo digo por lo ridículo, las primeras escenas del episodio, con el Gobernador volviendo a Woodbury a quemarlo todo, dándonos esas "espectaculares" (detector de sarcasmo) imágenes de él con una casa ardiendo detrás. Muy macho men todo.
And the best moment of the episode, and with this I mean it was so lame that it was the best moment of the episode, the first scenes of it, with the Governor going back to Woodbury to burn it down, giving us those "spectacular" (sarcasm alert!) images of him with the fire behind. Really macho-men style.
En definitiva, deciros que me estaba encantando el progreso de la temporada de The Walking Dead, pero que con el último episodio he visto que en el fondo sigue siendo la misma serie que nos dejó paralizados durante una temporada entera en una granja. Esperemos que esto sólo haya sido un bache en el camino de la mejor temporada hasta el momento y que el próximo capítulo recupere la emoción, del que os dejo el trailer aquí - y por el que podemos suponer que aún tardaremos en ver la prisión y a Daryl enfrentarse a Rick de una vez -.
As a resume, let me tell you that I was loving the progress of this season of The Walking Dead, but in the last episode I've seen that in the end it still is the series that left us a whole season in the farm. Let's hope that it has been just a mistake in the road to the best season of the series and that the next episodes gets the intrigue back, whose promo I leave below - and in which we can see that it's going to take a while before we get back to the prison and to Daryl and Rick's unsolved issues -.
