The Walking Dead - Episode 4.06 - Live Bait - Preview

Live Bait starts off where last season’s finale left off, only this time we’re following the Governor. I can’t give away too many details – where would be the fun in that? – but let’s just say the Governor is a little different than what we’ve seen so far.

This is an episode that’s lighter on action and more on telling the story of a character’s emotional journey. But I will say this - the second to last line is “Holy shit.” And I can almost guarantee you won’t guess the circumstances around it.

We see a new town and meet a few new characters and learn how they coped after the world turned. They had a very different experience than our prison group and are in a different place emotionally. We also get a glimpse of what became of Woodbury.

Although the phrase is not said, the theme of “coming back” is once again explored from a different perspective.

I commented recently that I wasn’t ready to see the governor back because I was ready to put last season behind me. But I take that back now. The show has once again proved that it can put a fresh twist on the continuation of an old storyline and make it something very different.

Hope you enjoy it. I did.

Live Bait airs on Friday, Nov. 22, on FOX in the UK, and on Sunday, Nov. 17, on AMC in the US.
