The Walking Dead: 6 Things "Slabtown" Did Right (And 4 It Didn't)

Come on, get down with the sickness...

It€™s about time they gave the audience a break. Since the cliffhanger ending to season four, with the group of rag-tag survivors trapped in a train car by another faction of zombie-killers who may or may not have been cannibals (FYI they totally were, which was a weird relief), and the trailers promising more death and destruction than ever before. Then stuff sort of settled down after last week€™s Four Walls And A Roof - relatively, anyway - and now for something completely different. It€™s time for a Beth solo episode! Remember Beth? Possibly not, since she€™s been absent from the show since the latter half of The Walking Dead€™s last season, where she got spirited away in a black car with a white cross on. Her on again/off again love interest Darryl tried his best to keep up but, awesome though he is, he€™s not as fast as an automobile. He didn€™t even try and shoot it with his crossbow. So whilst Rick€™s group are in a sort of limbo - albeit a safe one, having dealt with the immediate Terminus threat - the gears were shifted for the fourth episode of season five to take a look at what Beth€™s been up to this whole time. It was a mixed bag, both for her and the viewers: here are the six things that Slabtown did right, and four it really didn€™t.
