The Walking Dead: 6 Things "What Happened And What's Going On" Got Right (And 4 It Didn't)

Hey look everyone, The Governor's back! Sort of.

And...we're back! Hopefully by now viewers have managed to get through the five stages of grief when a TV character dies €“ they are, by the way, denial (they can't kill off Beth!), anger (oh, way to spoil it, AMC's Facebook page), bargaining (quick, make a petition!), depression (yeah, it's The Walking Dead, innit) and finally acceptance €“ and are ready to move on with the second half of season five. Those sadists at The Walking Dead certainly dropped a bombshell with that mid-season finale, but surprisingly, €œWhat's Happened And What's Going On€ didn't spend a whole lot of time rummaging through the wreckage. Instead it's almost like business as usual for Rick Grimes And The Funky Bunch as they look for their next €œsecure€ hide out. A lot's happened since the show was last on. Not only everybody kicking off about Beth but also all that casting information about upcoming characters, rumours, and the script leak for the spin-off series tentatively titled Fear The Walking Dead. All fans really have to work with, though, is what's on screen. So, is everything up to the standard of The Walking Dead's fifth season so far? Is Daryl as shook up as the shippers would want him to be? Why does everybody hate Noah? Here are six things What Happened And What's Going On got right...and four it didn't.
