In Tell It to the Frogs, we start off by seeing the mental deterioration of Merle Dixon and see him at his worst. He looks weak and is merely a nobody to the ungodly world he is now living in. This opening scene displays what the apocalypse can do to even the worst people.
Rick reuniting with his son, Carl, and wife, Laurie back at camp was so sweet to watch. It was an emotional moment played out in a great way.
Most of the episode is decent. Other than some interesting and awesome moments like Shane teaching Carl to catch frogs or Shane beating the crap out of Ed, the episode did not have to much value.
Shane and Carl's relationship is clearly developing and as a child Carl probably expects it to be a good mutual friendship. However, with a character like Shane, it is hard to tell if he is genuine as well.
Ed's comeuppance for being a jerk around camp is one that I enjoyed viewing. Although I wish there was a better and more deserving lead up to it, it still felt justified from what we have seen so far in the episode.
The episode mainly focuses around conversations of heading back to Atlanta to get Merle of the roof of the building he was handcuffed to and there isn't too much else to it.
Overall, this was still a very enjoyable episode that had some cool moments in it. Even though some potential for more drama was washed away in conversation, it is to be expected as sometimes we need to get to know our characters more. It is basic world building that we need to accept and hope it doesn't drag on. For those reasons, I give this episode an 8/10.
