The Walking Dead Season 2 New Trailer: 10 Eye-Catching Moments
10. What's In A Name?
A House Divided likely isn't an attempt to cash in on the slavery narrative boom that's been around the last couple of years with films like Lincoln and 12 Years A Slave, but most probably to do with the fact that the household Clementine embeds herself in during Episode 1 seemed about ready to tear itself apart even before she arrived. Non-threatening Luke and gruff-but-gentle Pete seem friendly enough, but expecting mother Rebecca is more than a little hostile and her boyfriend/husband Alvin is far too meek to stand up to her or for Clementine. The house doctor, Carlos, would be a great boon to our heroine, if not for the fact that she seems to have made an enemy in him by manipulating his daughter into helping her steal supplies from the house before she was officially made a part of it. And there's the small matter of Nick, the well-meaning but skittish farm boy (and Pete's nephew) who almost blew Clementine's face off with a rifle. The group's a powder keg ever before Clementine arrives, and her presence doesn't seem to help matters a great deal, but judging by most of the trailer, she's not the only thing that's going to test the mettle of her new companions...
