The Walking Dead returns for season 5

Our buddy Glenn wishing he'd practiced restraint escapes...
If the first few minutes of last night's season opener didn't give you good motivation for practicing urban E&E/escaping from restraints, then you're probably in the wrong place. Some hard to watch stuff.

Good improvising of weaponry by Team Rick, too. With a little work, a belt buckle becomes makeshift Wolverine claws.


A standout scene for me was the conversation between with the captured baddie and Tyrese. The scumbag straight up points out how illogical it is that they haven't killed him yet--"Why am I still alive? How can that help you?" It shows TWD is aware, at least at times, of the character's seemingly senseless survival decisions. In the zombocolypse, you don't have the luxury of taking prisoners. Kill all those bad guys and let God sort 'em out.

Overall, solid, tense episode. Several great ass kicking moments from the good guys, and the show continues to have me on the edge of my seat waiting for characters to die at any moment.

What did you think? Did the episode get you thinking about anything? Let us know in the comments.
