And youre back in the room. Or actually, maybe not: last weeks Slabtown seemed like a break from the main narrative of The Walking Dead, and that the show would presently be returning viewers back to the ongoing survival of the Rick Grimes Experience. Yet as time goes by it looks like the groups are getting more and more fractured, with Beth off having a grand old time in that weird high-rise police state, whilst Abraham leads a splinter faction that departed from the holy safe haven the group bedded down in after the Terminus debacle. So Self Help again moved the focus away from the "main" characters of The Walking Dead - that bloke from Love Actually and his kid with the tiny head - and instead settled on some other members of the ensemble for a change, as the volunteers headed out on Eugenes supposed mission to save humanity using his resources and genius as part of the Human Genome Project, based out of Washington DC. All is not as it seems, however. Is it ever? At least there were some jokes to tone down all the misery this time. Here are five things self did right, and five it didn't, as the fifth season of The Walking Dead keeps on truckin'. Or bussin'.
