The Walking Dead: Season 5 [Blu-ray]

** WARNING SPOILERS **Brutality aside, this is just the best dramatic study of human reactions to unfathomable situations that you can get. I'm no fan of gore and violence, and the sheer brutality of the scenes in the opening few minutes of this episode leave you reeling with disgust. This has been a calling card of the series, though, and it's what makes this series such an amazing rollercoaster ride. I think about how I gasped and looked away in horror at that scene, but how much I rooted for Carol with her almost Terminator calm creating a diversion and exposing Terminus to vulnerability and then striding in there and taking out the baddies with as much cool as Clint Eastwood in any of his movies, and to the end where so much emotion wells up when you see the badass Darryl run up to Carol like a little boy when they are reunited. Even my husband looked like he was going to cry (to his credit, he didn't, but Darryl does that to us; he's like the hardest nut on the outside, but we all know he has a delicious gooey center).As others have said, the character development is so spot on. There's a whole scene of psychomanipulation between Tyreese and one of the Terminites, who is trying to get under his skin and scare him into leaving. Bob Stookey, one of the thinkers in the group, also makes an attempt to communicate with their captors and reason with them, not manipulate. Thankfully, it buys them time, because otherwise at least Glenn would have been bleeding out before Carol caused a ruckus. Even though all our guys are pretty badass, a lot of luck happened or they would have just been the Terminites' next meal.Little details made me think, like why did Carol not tell Rick about Judith instead of saying "you have to come with me." AT first I thought it was just a dramatic device, but then it hit me; better not get his hopes up. A lot can change in a short time in post-apocalyptic zombie land. And why didn't Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita all hop in that working car at the shed and head for DC? Instead they opted to go on foot in whatever direction the group was going in. Abraham told Rosita they would talk to Rick, but "not now." Why pass up the car and their mission? I think we all know the answer. Abraham has seen the strength of Rick and his group now and I think he likes his odds better with them than without them.I'm excited to see the rest of the season. I think one thing we all can be sure of though, is that there will be more zombies and there will be more bad humans. The zombies are what keep them on their toes. The bad humans are actually what really tests our group who is trying to keep some of their human dignity in the face of all these formidable challenges, and the bad humans are actually the true source of conflict in the show. One thing I've noticed about our group is that they are all adept at taking out zombies hand-to-hand (...or should I say hand-to-brain?) with the exception of Eugene, and that the bulk of other survivors were mostly relying on their guns. Our group tends to save their bullets for the more serious threat: Other humans. Smart move. But all that hand-to-hand with the zombies has given them practice at taking out humans that way too when they need to, and Rick has now had to do it on more than one occasion with whatever (his teeth?) was handy, so they are definitely being primed for taking on even tougher baddies in the future.

Great show

I love this show and I am so excited for season 5!! The Walking Dead is truly one of the best shows ever made. I hesitated to even watch the first Episode of Season 1 because I am simply not interested in "Zombie" shows or "Scary" shows in general. Until one morning when I was bored and decided I would try it on Netflix and figured if I didn't like it I would just turn it off. Three days later I came out of what can only be described as a "The Walking Dead" coma. Eager for more I soon found that I could watch Season Three episodes the day after they aired here on Amazon. I cancelled my other subscription and have been avidly following it here ever since. For anyone who thinks this is simply going to be another "Zombie" show. WRONG. This is one of the most brilliant human interest epics of all time. I seriously recommend checking this show out. It's unlikely that you'll be disappointed. EDIT: Just got done with Episode 1!! WOW!! What a way to start Season 5. If you are not familiar with this show, start at the beginning, as it truly needs to be watched from that point. Thank you so much Amazon and AMC for streaming it here. I am 100% OKAY with waiting until the next day to watch the new episodes.I also LOVE the new Season Pass option (previously a season pass automatically bought each episode at a discounted price each week). I'd rather just pay for the season pass up front and have it out of the way, rather then have it deducted each week.FYI to all the people complaining. The "24hr" wait, which is in reality a 6-12hr wait is AMC's doing, not Amazon. The cable channel is doing a cool thing even letting their new content be streamed here, but you can bet money that they aren't going to fight for ratings on their cable channel with an online streaming service when their new episodes air. That would just be bad for business.Also, the new episode won't be available until tomorrow, so there is no episode to buy yet. Once the episode is available, then you will be able to purchase each available episode individually if that's your preferred method. If you buy the season pass you will already PRE own all the episodes and be able to watch them as they become available without any other purchases (no, you cannot watch the whole season before its aired on T.V. through this service). So, I repeat, you can STILL purchase each episode individually as it becomes available for viewing (though the season pass gives you a pretty decent discount off the total price vs buying them all separately). Which seems like it would only require basic logic to understand.You do also realize that negatively reviewing the season pass and viewing delay only brings down the ratings for the show and has no impact on Amazon or AMC's policies right? If you don't like their service then contact their customer support department and complain.

Everything's ok.
