The Walking Dead: This Week’s Five Best Moments

What were our favorite moments from this week’s episode of The Walking Dead? Read on.The world outsideThere was something really haunting about watching a new group of characters suddenly coming to the realization of what the world is like outside. We haven’t seen anyone genuinely surprised by it since Rick woke up in the pilot, with every character we’ve encountered along the way having some degree of hands-on experience with walkers. The prisoners, meanwhile, are being told all of this even farther down the line–and while it surely makes sense to them on some level (even before they’re told that everything has gone to hell, Tomas says something along the lines of “I think there’s nothing out there to go back to”), it’s fascinating to see the bits of doubt and denial ripple through the group.Aim for the head.After having told the prisoners a number of times that the way to kill walkers is to aim for the head, ignore center mass and don’t brawl, when the time came for Rick to take down Tomas, their hot-headed leader, he heeded his own advice to fairly spectacular effect–a machete directly to the crown of his adversary’s skull.CPR attackWhen Lori decided to give Hershel CPR after he stopped breathing, the end result was one of the show’s scariest moments as his body jerked back to consciousness and he appeared to be attacking his rescuer. It was only a couple of second before Lori pulled away and Hershel resumed his coma–but it was a tense scene, as the nine-months-pregnant wife of the main character found herself apparently attacked by a walker onscreen.
