The Walking Dead - S4 • E6 Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
By adopting a storytelling style more akin to season three episodes like "Clear," the fourth season of The Walking Dead has a little more breathing room for character development
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
We were captivated for the whole hour, but we really don't want much more of this direction in the story.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
It will take another week to discover if this midseason diversion pays out any real dividends, but given the structure of 'Walking Dead' seasons, that only leaves a solitary episode to set any kind of stage for the second half of season 4.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
As seems to be the standard this year, zombie action is kept to a minimum and, in place of the usual bloodshed and mayhem, we're handed another in a string of moody and fascinating character studies.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
This trip through the last few months of Philip's life were interesting in the sense that we were presented with a man who was broken, had hit rock bottom and through some wild twist of fate had been given an opportunity to slowly climb his way out.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
Guess this was more of a way to see the Governor's state of mind and set things up for the next episode.
What Culture
Laura Hurley
An episode that is one hiatus and half a season away from [the Governor's] last appearance and based entirely on his character was going to be a risky, hit-or-miss venture. Unfortunately, there was much more missing than there was hitting this week.
TV Equals
Luke Gelineau
While "Live Bait" was a well acted and well directed episode of television, I can't help but feel like it just muddied the waters.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Richard Rys
Parts of the Governor's tale worked, but overall, it was a bit slow and one note.
TV.com
Tim Surette
It was a dazzling opening and a bold, artistic step forward for a series that once closed a hatchback car door on a zombie and featured Rick talking into a phone that wasn't plugged in...But then the rest of the episode happened.
Grantland
John Lopez
The Governor is back! And for those of us who'd grown a tad weary of the West Georgia Correctional Facility follies, El Guv strode through last night's episode like our own one-eyed savior, providing a radical change of pace.
Slant Magazine
Ted Pigeon
Apart from being the first episode of the series not to feature a major cast member, "Live Bait" is notable for its uniquely lived-in quality
TIME Magazine
Nate Rawlings
When the new, somewhat happy family left the apartment building, the momentum change was apparent almost immediately, even if the travel scenes felt a bit tossed together.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
Tonight on The Walking Dead, the villain who makes JR Ewing look like a Boy Scout returned, but not exactly as you might expect.
IGN Movies
Roth Cornet
This episode offered a new layer to what was already one of the more dimensional characters on The Walking Dead, though a somewhat controversial one.
Zap2it.com
Terri Schwartz
This is a great way of giving The Walking Dead a "Rise of the Governor"-type arc while also making it entirely new and fresh. So bravo, Scott Gimple. Good work.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
"Live Bait" wasn't a particularly exciting episode of The Walking Dead, nor an especially subtle one in the way it beat us over the head with the parallels between the Governor's dead little girl and the live one standing in front of him.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
To give everyone involved credit, this new version of the [Governor] character (who introduces himself as "Brian" to the small group of survivors he meets and befriends) is at least more focused than the last one.
