The Walking Dead SPOILER Recap – “Crossed”


walkjingdead_crossed.jpg

‘Twas the penultimate midseason episode, and all through, um, Abercrombie…

Lotsa creatures were stirring, including some zombies.

-Classic “Out, damned spot!” moment. At which point, anybody observing ought to know there’s something going on in that priest’s head.

-Okay, so this an episode of obligatory catching up with everybody to prep for the big cliffhanger. Got it. Don’t have to dig it. Some of these folks are just dumb.

-Speaking of dumb: Andrew Lincoln’s new fake beard looks particularly fake this episode. Is somebody not willing to sacrifice eating soup for a whole season?

-Abraham the lazy, not water-suckin’; crazy. Promise he’ll rally…We’ll rally that canny brat.*

-You have all the time in the damn world, and “GREATM” is the anagram you come up with? Like, isn’t “GAMERT” or “MAGRET” easier to say?

-That priest is going to die, probably in a way that screws everyone over.

-Melty asphalt zombies. Yum.

-And skull-fu by Daryl! Moment of the night.

-Aw shit, Beth insulted a guy’s DVDs. Didn’t they ever tell you not do that NOWHERE, ever?

-These cops’ plan is classic good cop, bad cop, woman cop, in that the woman is a complete token, saying stuff the “good cop” could have said. But remember, there haven’t been TV shows for a while, and that may explain why anybody would fall for it.

*Yes, I made an Aristocats reference in a Walking Dead article. If you caught it before I told you, nice work.
