It's rare that The Walking Dead will ever try anything too out there with their scripts or directing choices it's a populist show made for a wide audience, so it's not really in their purview but they have been a little more daring in this fifth season, from the decision to split up the characters to the positively trippy prolonged death scene for Tyreese in the mid-season premiere. They gave another brief platform for some experimental (for them, anyway) filmmaking with the opening of Try, however, half-inching the format of Akira Kurosawa's endlessly imitated Rashomon. Like that feudal Japanese courtroom classic, the truth was a malleable thing. Cutting between Nicholas and Glenn's separate, entirely divergent retellings of what happened in the last episode that saw several of the group including Noah meeting their gory ends did well to hit home the similarities and differences in their stories, and in the character's motivations: self-preservation, and the truth.
