Basic Plot: Rick continues to lead his group. Things change when Sophia gets lost and Rick (and gang) go to a farm to save Carl's life.

Sophia
Sophia really became the driving force behind this Season. Once she got lost things went forward this season. And finding out that Sophia was found to be a walker gave me two reactions:

1.) Extreme sadness. People were right in saying that Sophia was the group's hope. And with her death came the death of hope.

2.) Extreme happiness. Finally the series can get going again!


The Reveal About What Rick Was Told At The CDC
This was shocking (though I had been alerted about it a few days before the Finale, "Beside the Dying Fire"). Rick was told that everyone was already infected and therefore being a walker is something in humans. Why Rick held it back isn't clear at this point. I go with him not wanting to scare the group. Knowing that they're going to turn into walkers no matter what isn't useful knowledge. Besides, they haven't really had to kill humans before.

Slow First Half
The first part of this season was slow. I didn't mind it but, really, it did pay off. And by the end of the season everything was just more than awesome! We got to see lots and lots of zombie kills!

Lori
She didn't annoy me in season 1. Season 2 is a whole 'nother story. She just got more annoying over time. By the end of Season 2 I wanted to just slap her. She caused Rick to kill Shane and then she's mad at Rick for killing Shane.

Final Thoughts
This was a good season. Started out good and ended good. Were there problems? Of course! But I didn't miss a single episode. Dale's death made me tear up and nearly cry. When a show can make me do that it means something. It's shown that ANYONE can die and even the main characters aren't safe. But, I must say, can't believe T-Dog survived another season.
