This new season of the Walking Dead has started out pretty
well. There were some surprises as well as some signs of things to come. If you have not seen the first episode yet then I suggest that you stop now and go watch it as I will be giving spoilers.
Prison is Getting Organized
At the end of the last season Rick and the group had acquired the survivors of Woodbury. It appears that during the time between seasons they have made themselves a community. Some of the characters in the episode mention a Council ,which we never see in action, who deliberate what has to be done. Apparently this Council is made up of the members of Rick's original group. The organization does not just stop at a semi government in that they also have built onto the prison. In the episode you could see several buildings they had built in the field in front of the prison. They even built a stable and a pig pen. You also see Rick attempting to farm the growing garden they had started. This is where he finds a gun buried in the ground which made no sense to me but maybe we will find out why it was there.
Relationships Changing
During the episode there were some relationships that had either formed off screen or there were hints at something that may form. Beth apparently had gained her new boyfriend Zack off screen at some point. That kind of threw me off guard because I did not picture her getting into a relationship. Glenn and Maggie's showed signs of changing in the episode. Maggie apparently was thought to be pregnant, which you later find out is false, much to Glenn's happiness. It seems like he did not want a child to be born in the zombie apocalypse which is similar to Lori's predicament. Later in the episode Maggie tells Glenn that she is "not afraid of living" which leads me to think she will try to have a child at some point. There was also a glimmer of a relationship forming between Rick and Michonne. The way that Rick seemed concerned about her leaving the prison and her being more friendly with Carl makes me think something will develop.
Raining Zombies
During an outing to a big box store the group of Daryl, Michonne, Zack, Sasha, Tyreese, and new guy Bob try to find necessary supplies for the ever expanding group back at the prison. During the event Bob, who we find out was a medic before all of this, picks up a wine bottle off the shelf. During this it seemed like he was going to take it with him but he sets it back down. This act leads you to believe that he truly does want to earn the trust of the group. When he sets it back down everything just goes chaotic. Zombies are falling through the ceiling and Zack gets killed. When they get back to the prison and tell Beth of this loss she just kind of shrugs it off. This struck me as a little cold but maybe the kids are dealing with the apocalypse better.
Where is the Governor?

Where is the Governor?
There was no sign of the Governor which kind of disappointed
me. He was such a big threat by the end
of the last season and now he has disappeared. At the end of the last season he killed a lot of his people and just took off. Where did he go? Here is hoping that we see him again at some point this season.
Rick and Clara
When Rick had found Clara stumbling about in the woods it looked like she was a walker. This is where you find out about Rick's three questions. As she leads him into the woods it seemed a little fishy. She never really gave any definite answers. Then she takes him to her camp and you find out she has a head in the bag. It looked like she was doing what the Governor did with keeping zombie heads. She then kills herself because she cannot take what she has done. Rick seemed kind of emotional about it and starts to question what he would be like without his loved ones.
New Strain
The big topic of this episode is the death of Patrick at the end of the episode. He was not bitten yet he still died and turned. You also see earlier on a zombie with blood coming out of its eyes which was similar to Patrick's ailment. Is this something new that can affect the survivors through the air? They will not only have to watch out for walkers but each other as well.
