By JD DeLuzio The Walking Dead stumbles a bit this week, but “Prey” arrives at a chilling conclusion.

Title: “Prey” Cast and Crew Directed by Stefan Schwartz Written by Glenn Mazzara, Evan Reilly Laurie Holden as Andrea David Morrissey as the Governor Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes Danai Gurira as Michonne Dallas Roberts as Milton Chad Coleman as Chase Tyreese Sonequa Martin-Green as Sasha Jose Pablo Cantillo as Martinez Daniel Thomas May as Allen Tyler Chase as Ben

Premise As Woodbury prepares for war, some of the Governor’s supporters begin to question his motives, actions, and sanity.

High Points Although some of the plot and character developments seemed forced and made-for-tv, the episode featured a number of creepy, suspenseful moments. While the special effects helped, the best moments resulted from effective direction.

Then there’s the final shot.

Low Point

1/2

The Governor has extensive experience with walkers, so I’ll accept that he survives the Deadly Room of Zombies However, I don’t see how he could possibly have caught up to Andrea. The writers knew how they wanted to end, and they had a powerful and disturbing ending in mind.

They needed to arrive more convincingly at that conclusion.

The Scores Originality: 3/6 They actors handled the conflict well, but fights in abandoned, warehouse or factory-type buildings aren’t exactly new in the suspense genre.

We did learn a bit more about the Walkers, and it seems a little fire doesn’t kill them—though it slows them considerably.

Effects: 6/6 Anyone for a Flaming Zombie?

Story: 4/6 This week’s episode had an uneven script, but it took us to a suspenseful and dramatically interesting place.

Acting: 4/6 We spent the episode at Woodbury, where the supporting cast lacks the rough polish we usually see. Even Chad Coleman, who has been credible as Chase Tyreese, seemed a little forced in his performance this week.

Fortunately, we spent a lot of time with Andrea and the Governor.

Emotional Response: 4/6 We knew exactly what the Governor meant by “I hope not,” before we saw the final shot.

Production: 6/6 Overall: 4/6 In total, “Prey” receives 31/42
