FULL IN-DEPTH REVIEW HERE: http://www.ign.com/blogs/ao66 He's back!!!!! All of the episodes this year have been excellent, but nothing else comes close to "Internment". This was simply one of the greatest if not the greatest episode of the entire SERIES, let alone this season. Tense action, the near-deaths of major characters, and character-defining moments made this episode truly special. Television really doesn't get much better than this.

From the first shot of the episode it was easy to see that this would be some deep material. Rick's thoughtful drive had a lot to ponder. Then we were plunged right into the struggles of Hershel, Sasha, Glenn, and the rest of the sick. Thus the table was set for the major character of the episode: Hershel. This week was truly his finest hour, even before the chaos erupted (don't worry, I'll get to that later). They did a fantastic job of immediately showing the horrific state of those in the cell block. It doesn't get much worse that having to pump over and over again to keep someone alive (though it did get worse). Despite the circumstances, Hershel did all he could to keep hope. However, he wasn't just preaching to others that they needed to keep hope despite being sick. When things got tough for Hershel and he almost lost everything, including his own life, he didn't lose hope. More importantly, he didn't lose faith in what he believes, as evidenced by his reading of the Bible towards the end of the episode. The very relevant and well-written quote about hopelessness being worse than sickness was something Hershel really took to heart. There were just so many phenomenal scenes with Hershel: rolling out the dead and killing them out of sight, his conflict of views with the doctor, and so on. There isn't a character on the show more understanding than Hershel. He knew seeing Glenn would crush Maggie, so he made sure he didn't see her. While he would be the "hero" later on, I thought his most telling character moment was when he saved Sasha. Carol would have killed her right then and there, but Hershel isn't like that. He absolutely refused to give up on her, and as a result, she lived. Sasha said it herself: what Hershel did is what many would define as "stupid", and he did tons of "stupid" things in this episode. But if stupid is risking your own life to save others, then I certainly think Hershel wouldn't mind being labeled as such. Words really don't do Scott Wilson's performance justice. A showing like that is what wins people awards. While those around him made sure they weren't completely overshadowed (Steven Yeun, Sonequa Martin-Green), he gave the standout performance of the season so far for ANY actor. It wasn't just him that made this "Hershel episode" so special, it was the writing. The writing was superb throughout, and honestly it was the best all season, which is really saying something considering I have said this is the most well-written season thus far. Every single line was not only pertinent, but deep and meaningful. Before the first shot was even fired this was shaping up to be the season's best episode.......continued at http://www.ign.com/blogs/ao66

You are getting an average response from the season and wish for something that reincarnates your love for this.Watch this Episode!!!!!One of the Best or just the best Episode of all the episodes.From the first shot to the second last,your nails are in your mouth!!!And when you watch the last 20 seconds,you will just rip them off!!!!The episode revolving around Hershel,Glenn,Maggie,Rick,Carl and the victims of the flu.Glenn and all other are dying......Hershel burning mid night oil to hunt a cure......Maggie in extreme tension for Glenn..........Eventually the fences give off and comes the huge forces of brutal blood thirsty zombies!!!!!!!!!!!See how Rick,Carl and Hershel eliminate both of the threats till the last minutes and when they do......Oh,whose this????? THE GOVERNOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has to be one of the greatest Walking Dead episode ever. This season keeps delivering awesomeness. Now that we have Carl gone(very sad) and Glen being the worst state as possible wow my heart was pumping. The zombie flu can now be cured now but death awaits for those who didn't make it in time. I love how Rick and Carl get their connection shooting some zombies down. Hershel on the edge willing to save anyone as possible while grabbing a shotgun mowing zombies one by one. On Glen's part it was a really tough to see him almost die making me cringe watching the blood flow out of his mouth. But the ending is what made go UH OH!! Someone we know is back!

This episode succeeds in delivering a critical element which I thought has been missing in the entire series on a large scale. There have been some great writing in the series prior but nothing does justice to scenes; moody or otherwise like a good score. One might fail to notice some memorable scenes in season one of this series due to lack of a score that draws you in. This has to be one of the very best episodes in the entire show for this reason and...

Oh God bless Hershel. Internment means a group of people confined in a place in periods of crisis. But the interned individual for this episode has to be Hershel. True character defining moment, one that creates grounds between hopeful or deliberate, foolish & stupid or smart & cautious decisions. He does come out tops while displaying true faith & hope. We also have a very well placed score to make his moments more captivating. We could have lost Glenn, we could have lost Sasha....

And the Zombies have broken in while we have a limited amount of man power but thank God for ammo. In one of the more beautifully shot action sequences I have even seen, we have the Grimes face off against a yard full of zombies. If you have ever not known how to use a Mack-4, you should get some tips from this. The score for this sequence is well made as well.

A nerve racking episode & then we have the Governor. A huge setup for events to come.

This has got to be the greatest episode of the walking dead ever. After Carols departure from the group, i kinda wanted to see Daryls reaction but since him and his group don't arrive till later. that does not happen. Instead, all hell breaks loose on two fronts. First, the quarantine cell block run by the somehow healthy Hershel is getting worse. Dr. S and Sasha are on the verge of death. This was kinda sad for me as i really liked Sasha. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Glenn starts choking on his own blood and Hershel is caught up in a deadly battle between the walkers. This scene has your knuckles clenched the entire time hoping that one of the series most beloved characters wont die. Meanwhile, Rick and Carl are reinforcing the fences when the walkers break through the fence. All of a sudden in an epic battle between the Grimes' and 50 or so walkers, Rick and Carl mow them down within a couple minutes creating one of the most memorable scenes in The Walking Dead. Great Episode 10/10

First 4 episodes caught me a feeling that the series will slowly die off (like many people in the series actually do) but then it started speeding up again and finally bringing my sleepy eyes wide open with emotions going through my mind like enormous waves.

If you think of leaving the series- don't! The fourth episode will wake you up again.

It's that part that reminds you how unforgiving mistakes can be living in post-apocalypse world, how you should perish every single good moment in your life and how everything that will happen to you may not be in your own hands.

I've added a spoiler tag as this episode must be an unexpected event for you!

This episode 5 has a lot of fun for me. Mainly because of the fact that Rick and his people are surrounded by a lot of zombies, both outside and inside. Outside is the usual. Zombies keep coming to the fences and trying to get pass through it. This is so usual. What it's not is the inside. Inside the prison, people keep dying because of the cold and every time they died, they always die and hence, inside zombies. Inside the prison, cell block A is full of sick people, so, there's no one beside Hershell. And Hershell's condition isn't that much good for shooting guns. So, when they have to face with those zombies, they are indeed outnumbered. How they get out of it is what it gets me so interesting and exciting.

I love that scene where that little girl lured that zombie (which recently turned) away from Glenn. If it wasn't for her, Glenn would've been bitten. Glenn is alive because of her. He should've thanked her specially. That's when I was starting to love her.

The last scene is really interesting. That damned governor guy is reappearing. I really want to see what kind of bad things he would do next. Although I already knew that he's going to do bad things, I still want to see it. I hope I wouldn't regret it.

All in all, this episode can be said the best of the season 4 so far. I really want to see what happens next. I really want to see Glenn survives all of that. So, I'm going to keep the next and next episodes to know what's gonna happen.

I'm a bit ambivalent about this one. Action-wise, it was very intense. But, I must say that I wasn't happy to see the entire episode being focused on Hershel. It felt weird to see him take center stage - unlike Rick, Hershel's actor doesn't have the charisma needed to carry all 40 minutes by himself. This can also be said about Maggie, who I think had 3 lines so far this season and suddenly returns, feeling out of place.

I'm not saying this episode is bad but I think the writers wanted it to be 100% drama, 0% plot,and in that sense, they got what they wanted. It's the most dreadful-feeling episode since season one.

Since there wasn't much plot to it, there is little I can add. However, the return of the governor is an interesting change. Since the previous season wasn't good, I am a bit nervous about this direction and really hope the guys are gonna take him out this time. I don't want to see this plot line getting dragged and abused again!

This virus and the group randomly getting sick and zombifying ... um k. Why?

Obviously the governor is hanging around sabotaging things; um k.

When they found out that someone had been feeding the zombies at a specific point in the fence, wouldn't logic dictate that you'd put more of an effort into surveillance to find the culprit?

Instead, they allow a huge amount of the zombies to amass at one point of the fence without trying to dissipate them along the length of the fence more evenly or kill them or fortify that small portion of fence.

And this group survived this long how exactly?

The fluey virus they are all coming down with is a boring twist. What happened to the governor and his aquariums full of heads? Was that just for his entertainment?

Remember in a previous episode the woman trying to keep her zombie partner alive, she said he was "slowing down". Shouldn't they all be slowing down about now? How is a rat now and then keeping that huge group at the fence alive for so long?

Also, there seems to be this over-abundance of gas / petrol for the cars. Petrol has a relatively short shelf life.

Finally the most important question of all ... do zombies ever take a damned dump?

Zzzz watching it in hope.

This is a really good action episode indeed! I like these battle scene shooting scene with Carl and Rick.

It is a good decision to keep Glen and Sasha!

The end scene is like a announcement of the future development, almost in the tradition of Hitchkock. The Zombies are very well shown with a bit of splatter scenes, but not to much. This episode is a containing action we love!

Final thoughts: Hershel: A Glen: A Maggie: A Carl: A Sasha: A minor roles: B. I would be surprised if we can see another epic episode like the very first from season 1.

Please more episodes exactly like that! To me it feels like a 20 min episode and this is a good sign!

An episode this good deserves more than an 8.7 rating. First of all, this was a smart way to clear out the prison. Most of the sick people exited the show in a exciting way. Each had a scene for death. You could see the focus on attention to Glenn more than others. All the background extras were shown dead or reanimated. There were walkers everywhere and loose people and sick people, people dying. It was just a lot of action. And then, when you add the Carl and rick shooting seen, it gave us the season finale feeling. This is my all time favorite episode.

By far the best episode of the season. One of the best episodes of the whole series and the scariest episode since the Pilot of this show! This episode had my face constantly cowering in fear behind my hands, not because of the walkers, but because of the possible and almost certain looking, deathly outcome for our main characters. Usually when a character gets a lot of screen time in an episode, they die. Which is why I was so certain Hershel was going to bite the dust. I'm glad to see Glenn still alive and I guess it couldn't hurt to still have Sasha.....for Tyreese!

The flu has temporarily been taken care of, and so now we need to make room for another story arch. The beginning of something that made this episode as scream worthy as it was.

The Governor is back...

I'm so excited as I thought he was a great character and was excellently portrayed by David Morrisey. The biggest cliffhanger the show has left me on!

Internment asks the question should Rick have kicked the nurse of death, Carol, out? Well the zombie flu did hit the prison hard. The sick should have been locked up. Some did survive. I believe Rick made the right decision. No one would have trusted the nurse, and there would have been some bad payback/revenge in the camp. Now Daryl (who cares for the nurse) and Rick will have problems! I wonder about the show! The Zombies over ran the fence and were all killed. Why did they just not shoot the zombies earlier is a good question? They were probably trying to conserve their ammo. What makes Internment interesting is we see The Governor probing and doing reconnaissance of the prison. The viewer knows The Governor wants payback/revenge on Rick. I give Internment an eight out of ten. Rick will have his hands full in the next couple of episodes.

Internment = The confinement of large amount of people with no reason

I've been writing reviews to this series very often. After 4 episodes, the script writers decide to pace up and also add some twists by adding some exciting characters.

Just when I felt the sickness is so sick and the strategies of Rick and Hershel are about to faint, Dixon and his team contribute to the group. This episode also increases the intensity of bond between Rick and Carl and the way they work. One loop-hole is, why the crew of the prison have not given enough attention to the bunch of walkers falling on the prison gates.! They could have well cleared the herd before hand, but for no reason pile up the walkers, making it difficult for themselves at the end

The name of the episode does justice to what it means. And unlike the previous four episodes that focused in developing an intense environment for the upcoming episodes, this episode bursts open with lots of action and some unfinished stories are out there.

The next episode is gonna be one hell of a ride.

Rating: 8.3/10

I have read most of the reviews here stating that this is one of the best episodes yet. But I beg to disagree. I did not want my time taken up with two weeks of sickness and under lit scenes. I would have devoted half an episode to the sickness and got on with the story.

I knew the Governor would show up. These survivors show they are really unprepared for things that happen, from the fence giving way, to the not locking the cell doors, to the Governor appearing. What, did they just forget about the Governor?

They really seem to be hapless in their approach to things at the prison. They react to things. They do not anticipate things. Their utmost safety is their biggest concern yet they ignore obvious problems.
