A fine, intense as always, yet in parts endearing TheWalking Dead 2.2 Sunday night, with most of the action centering around an oldcountry doctor – actually a veterinarian, much to Lori's distress – doing hisutmost to save Rick and Lori's son.
Carl was accidentally shot in last week's episode, by a hunteron the other side of a beautiful buck Carl was wondrously approaching in theforest. Lori hoped that when thedoc said he was a "vet" he meant veteran, but no such luck. She's of course desperate that Carl pullthrough, and good manners towards the doc are the last thing on her mind.
Rick almost loses it, as does Lori, but they hold ittogether so the doc can work. Rick's blood type is the same as his son's – a piece of luck – but Carl'scondition is still critical, and requires Shane to go off (with the hunter whoshot Carl, who feels terrible about this, and volunteers) to find proper medicalsupplies.
Shane has one his best episodes in the whole series so far,not only thinking more clearly than Rick (understandable), but getting him tofocus. Shane's foray with thehunter to get supplies runs into zombies. No surprise, it's getting dark, but Carl's life hanging in the balance makes thisencounter – not decided at the time the episode ends – all the more harrowing.
Meanwhile, back at the convoy, T-Dog's developing a fierceinfection from his wound, which he could die from, just as surely as from thezombies. He appreciates thisirony, and, fortunately gets antibiotics (part of Daryl's stash) pretty much in thenick of time. Antibiotics may beno good against the zombie-generating plague – nothing is, so far – but theycan at least dispatch a bad old-fashioned infection.
So far this season, there seems to be a little more emphasison the human than the zombie – though Andrea nearly narrowly escapes succumbing toone (she was deprived of her weapon last week, because she tried to end herlife last season). I'm liking thisslightly more human tilt a lot, so far.
