THE WALKING DEAD
AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET
This show usually leaves me reeling with its sudden bursts of violence and its often unexpected deaths – but last week, in an episode with more than its share of gore and dread, the image that stayed with me the most was of the Governor’s damaged eye. The Governor (David Morrissey) removed his eye patch and put a match right up to his punctured eyeball, hoping to see something – anything. It was a quiet, powerful, moment, and as gory, in its own way, as any of the imaginatively rendered undead that now seem to be everywhere.
