Watch Now: New Trailer For Second Half Of ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2
Posted by Cinemumra | January 27th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Can’t wait until February 12 for the final six episodes of the second season of AMC’s The Walking Dead to get underway? Well, a new trailer for the upcoming capper collection has hit and it hints at some wicked stuff coming this way.
It’s only a thirty-second spot, but what you get includes a cavalcade of gun shots, car crashes, and the hordes of zombies looking to make Rick and his crew their dinner. Watch it here below.
Personally, I adore this spot. I haven’t been keeping up to date on the show, but I have seen a few of season 2’s episodes, and I must say, it’s rather fantastic. I love the blend of horror and faith that the show does so damn well, and it looks as though Rick’s decent into madness is going to be the main focus here. Toss in rumors that a certain character may get offed, and this is one hell of an anticipated series of episodes.
Episode 8: “Nebraska”
The episode starts at the exact same spot the previous one left off. One of the walkers who got shot (the stepmom) tries to grab Beth (Hershel’s youngest daughter), but is killed by Andrea with a swift hoe through the head. Shane shouts some more and Hershel tells the group to “LEAVE MY FARM!” for the umpteenth time. Maggie finally slaps Shane right in the face and things cool down somewhat.
Sophia is buried along with Hershel’s dead family members from the barn. T-Dog, Andrea, and Shane pile the other corpses on a truck, drive to a nearby field and burn the bodies in a pyre. Hershel has something of a mental breakdown as he slips out of the farm and goes to a bar in the town to get shitfaced. Beth goes into catatonic shock from the ordeal at the barn, so Rick and Glenn head to town in order to bring Hershel back.
Meanwhile, Dale tells a skeptical Lori about his suspicions that Shane killed Otis and his belief that Shane will sooner or later kill someone else. Daryl snaps and shouts at Lori when asked to bring Rick and Hershel home quicker, stating he’s “done looking for people”. Lori heads out by herself, hits a random walker on the way and flips the car into a ditch. It’s not shown what happened to her. That’s the second (and the last) actual walker we see in the episode.
Glenn and Rick find Hershel in the bar. After a five-minute rant by a drunk Hershel, two dudes (Tony and Dave) enter the bar. They are bad guys. They inform Glenn, Rick, and Hershel that Fort Benning is overrun and they’re heading for Nebraska, which is supposedly safe. “Low population, lots of guns,” as they put it.
The two quickly deduce that Rick and company must have a farm nearby and want to go there because “they’ve got people to look out for”. “That’s not gonna happen,” says Rick. There’s a tense situation, since both guys are armed and threaten to take the farm by force. This culminates with a Clint Eastwood-style gun draw and Rick shoots both guys dead. The scene then cuts to bodies of walkers burning in the pyre. End episode.
