With
Sunday rising we all know what time it is… The Walking Dead time. This week’s
episode has been a slow but exquisite one, with twist and turns everywhere.
Abraham, a skilled
killer for most, and an upright soldier who always brings his missions to an
end. But what is behind all that has brought him to where he is. This episode
has it all, though vaguely, explained; it does a great job of continuously change
the episodes climax, focusing on 2 different timelines has a lot explained.
Abraham
was once a family man who served his country good. When the dead started rising
all he could do was take them out. Unfortunately, his family didn’t quite see
it that way, when they decided to leave him they were slayed upon learning the
threat they avoided thinking of as a threat is indeed a threat. When nothing is
left for him and all he could do was to take his own life, a new hope shines in
front of him, or at least he thought.
Eugene
is a scientist, with a knack for detail… and lying. As scared as he was he had
to make a choice. Now he has a convoy of personal guards, all with the
objective of protecting him and bringing him safely to Washington D.C. so he
can work out a cure for the disease that’s turning the dead into living, if it
costs them their life. In one event Abraham was worried more about Eugene than
the woman he was sleeping with.
Eugene
was accompanied on his journey by Abraham and the beautiful, young Rosita, when
they stumbled upon Rick and his group; from there the all have joined together to
resist the apocalypse and get to D.C. At this point Abraham has to follow his
mission which Rick and the rest of the group, but Glenn and Maggie, is not yet
ready to fulfill. Those who are will leave at once and come back as soon as
they are able to get safe to D.C., or as close as they can get to safe.
When
cornered, and with no way through a town full of walkers Eugene had no other
option but to tell the truth. Eugene doesn’t actually know how to stop the cure
and he isn’t actually a scientist; he just said what he said because he doesn’t
have any actual strength, or ability, or anything that could help him out in
any apocalipsal scenario… except his knowledge, which he uses to create a human
shield around him, all with the same purpose.
Everyone
is pretty pissed at Eugene, crushing their dreams of waking up from the
apocalypse of the dead. Abraham snaps and knocks out Eugene who therefore falls
on the ground and takes a pretty big hit.
My
Verdict
This episode took it pretty easy except for the
discovered truth about Eugene. We also got to find out more about the origins
of Eugene. We didn’t see any of the old team and no real progress was done on
the story. There also were pretty slow scenes which made you want to pull out
your phone and tweet.
Final
Score
7.5
