WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
The Governor is back, and he is participating in no-shave Movember.
This episode of a fine season of The Walking Dead focuses entirely on the Governor (David Morrissey). Last week, the Governator is seen standing in the shadows outside the prison. This week, we are treated to a flashback of what happened to the infamous psychopath immediately after his defeat (and mass murder) at the prison last season.

"Cleanup in A-Block!"
Meanwhile, back at the prison ...
This episode is the companion of last week's "Indifference". While "Indifference" focused on Darryl and gang's search for antibiotics, this week's episode shows the struggle to stay alive until the cavalry shows up with the drugs.

Walking Dead, S4E3
WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
Carol is the new Carl.
The one character that has never been given a compelling story arc is Carol (Melissa McBride). In Season Four, Carol has not only been developed further as a character, but she has exhibited some good old-fashioned badassery. Last episode, she was teaching children how to use knives and having two young girls help her put their flu-ridden father down before he turned, even remarking that the inability to put people down after death, in order to prevent expanding the zombie population, is a sign of weakness.

Walking Dead, "Infected", S4E2
WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
There will be no BLT's on The Walking Dead.
There's a prevailing theme on The Walking Dead. Everyone will die a horrible death, and no one gets out alive and happy. Sure, there are moments when the characters forget their plight, and smile, but that fleeting happiness is often interrupted by a scream, signalling the return of the threat of death.
