Storyline

- TriviaThe antibiotic Bob was giving to the members of the group that were sick is Enrofloxacin, which is a broad spectrum antibiotic used in veterinary medicine. It is very similar to the broad spectrum antibiotic Ciprofloxcin (commonly known as Cipro) which is used for humans.
- GoofsIt took months of walkers leaning on and pushing against the outer fence for it to collapse and give in, yet when the walkers get through the outer fence they are somehow able to push down the inner fence in a matter of a few minutes. And the spot they push down is where the fence attaches to the guard tower, which would be the strongest part of the fence, unlike the middle which is where the outer fence gave way.

All the previous Season 4 episodes were for me very good to great. "Internment" is the best up to this point of the season and one of Season 4's very best, a return to the tense, action-packed and gutsy kind of episode instead of the quieter action-light kind of episode. It is yet again a strong reminder of how Seasons 1-5 of 'The Walking Dead' to me were absolutely brilliant and seeing the show in its full glory days (Season 6 was uneven, Season 7 was a huge disappointment and am still debating whether to watch Season 8). It is as emotional, complex and as tense as one would expect, at the same time it has adrenaline and guts.
It still shocks me at how an intelligent, well-made (so much so that it is easy to mistake it for a film) show about zombies could be made when so many films have tried and failed abysmally to do so.
Like all the episodes of the show, "Intermship" is incredibly well made in the production values, with gritty and audacious production design, photography of almost cinematic quality, effects that look good, have soul and are not overused or abused and pretty frightening make-up. The music is haunting and affecting, having presence but never being too intrusive.
The writing is intelligent and thought-provoking, not as talky as some of the previous episodes, with lots of tension and emotional resonance and shows signs of character complexity and multiple layer storytelling. The more eventful parts are thrilling and terrifying as well as uncompromising, lots of adrenaline and guts.
Appreciated the ever strong and still progressing story, where a lot happens and full of different strands without being confused or over-stuffed, and character building, which the episode has a bigger emphasis on, and that the pace is rarely dull or rushed, with a taut intensity in the more tense parts. The character writing and the character interactions are what is particularly great here, Herschel is especially well done.
Everything is nicely paced without rushing through the more important parts, much of it being very taut. The world building is already stunningly immersive and effective. Direction is smart and atmospheric while the show throughout has been strongly acted. Scott Wilson is particularly fantastic.
Overall, brilliantly nail-biting and a Season 4 highlight. 10/10 Bethany Cox
