It has been a few days since the Season 4 Premiere of the hit AMC drama “The Walking Dead,” and all I can say is that the show is picking up right where it left off.  I know what you’re thinking, the show seemed off a little bit.  While a few fans I have spoken to thought the episode was kind of boring (a thought shared by The Wrap who bring you the image above), I thought it was a nice set up to the coming tasks that our favorite band of survivors are going to be facing in the coming episodes.

First of all, “30 Days Without an Accident” had a few interesting moments, but the big one is the sickness that seems to be creeping into the prison walls.  So far, the only human casualty has been a younger boy named Patrick, (played by someone parents see or at least hear often enough Vincent Martella of “Phineas and Ferb” fame), by that is probably going to be changing.  After all, something is causing people to fall ill and turn.  This could get interesting fairly quickly.

Second of all is Michonne’s search for the Governor.  The guy is likely to pop up when things are at their worst, and while Michonne is pretty well equipped to deal with him it will be interesting to see if the series follows the comic on who actually ends the threat of the guy.

Next, Rick has changed quite a bit.  The whole not wanting to carry a gun issue could very much work against him, because I’m pretty sure Daryl would have not followed a strange (and crazy) woman back to her campsite.  The guy has had a pretty rough go (even among zombie outbreak survivors), but he is an integral part of life at the prison (not to mention the focal point of the show).  His transition and metamorphosis will likely be a key element this season, especially considering there is a foe inside the prison that no one can see.


In the end though, the Season 4 Premiere of “The Walking Dead” did exactly what it needed to do.  It set up a few interesting storylines and gave us a look at how callous everyone is becoming to the hardships facing their new lives.  The one thing the new hour really did for me though was build on anticipation of what is coming down the pipes for Rick and company, and it seems that arrows and bullets are not necessarily going to be enough.
