The Walking Dead, Ep. 2.09: “Triggerfinger” not nearly as exciting as its title
The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 9: “Triggerfinger”
Written by David Leslie Johnson
Directed by Bill Gierhart
Airs Sundays at 10pm EST on AMC
Especially given that we got a glimpse of some above-average writing and acting in last week’s shootout at Hershel’s bar of choice, “Triggerfinger” represents a pretty major stumble for the show. After a relatively exciting cold open (featuring some of the nastiest zombie effects yet seen on the show), we get an episode heavy on one-on-one chats, most of which either serve to repeat familiar beats, or to complicate relationships that didn’t need to be complicated. It’s not a good look for The Walking Dead.
