The Walking Dead: 5 Things We Learned From The Mid-Season Premiere

3. A Visit From Friends... And Enemies

While Tyreese sits alone slumped against the wall - the undead virus coursing through his veins - he begins to see visions of people no longer with us. He sees Lizzie, Mika - two deaths from which he's never recovered - Beth, and his sister's lover, Bob. One can't help but wonder why he never had any visions of Karen considering he was so torn up over her death despite them spending about 11 seconds together onscreen. Regardless, his friends take turns telling him things will be okay and tossing various other platitudes his way. Conflicting with the conversations he shares with his friends are his visits from the cannibal Martin and The Governor. These two men berate Tyreese, with The Governor telling him he still has a debt to pay and Martin reiterating what he told him during their first encounter, that he wasn't cut out for the way the world is and it would soon cost him his life. This entire sequence played out like a George Romero acid trip and was a little unsettling, but served mostly as filler to get from one commercial break to the next, although it was nice to see The Governor again and to notice how much Lizzie and Mika have aged in the afterlife.
