The Walking Dead Recap and Review Season 6 premiere, Episode 1: First time again
After months of anticipation Walking Dead fans everywhere watched the season 6 premiere last weekend, beating the football viewers with a total of almost 20 million viewers. I absolutely love how much this show has improved the geek culture and drawn in fans across the globe. Last season we watched all the drama in Alexandria go down, and see several people get killed. This season is about the group being able to come together and work well with each other.
The Season 6 premiere was very creative in the sense that we were watching flashbacks of what had
happened after this episode and what was currently happening. All the flashbacks were done in black and white, and what was currently happening was in color. This was Greg Nicotero's way of showing the fans what was currently happening and what had happened after the episode from last season. At the start of this episode it shows Rick and Morgan going to bury Pete Anderson in the woods dut to people didn't want to bury a "killer" inside the walls. Morgan made an excellent point when he said that they were "all killers". One thing I have always loved about Morgan is that he isn't afraid to speak up when something is morally against what he believes in. Rick didn't even want to bury his body he felt that he deserved to just be left in the woods and get eaten. As they were burying him, Rick discovers thousands of walkers stuck inside a canyon and realizes there is nothing but a semi holding them back from getting into During this time he also discovers that Pete and Jesse's son, Ron decided to follow them to see where his dad was buried. Rick got on his case about leaving unprotected as well as saved him from getting eaten. Later in the episode Jesse and Rick who developed a relationship with last season got on his case about him being the one talking to her son. It doesn't seem that after he shot her husband that their relationship will be the same or that they will continue to be able to have a romantic relationship. He knew that it wouldn't be long before the walkers were able to get through and headed strait for Alexandria. Then Rick and the others devise a plan to route the walkers in the other direction. The whole episode shows the group getting the walkers in the other direction and each taking their part to make sure its done correctly. There were several things that happened and Carter gets his face chewed off by a zombie, and then wouldn't stop screaming so Rick put a knife in the back of his neck and then ends his life. You could see the disappointment in Morgans face, but in reality after that bite there was no way to save him. He was in excruciating pain and then he would have turned to a walker within a day or so. As things were getting planned with the group at one point Glenn and Maggie agreed that she should stay behind At the end of the episode someone blares a horn and steers the walkers right for Alexandria. Who do you think blared the horn? Was it the Wolves? We will find out in tonight's episode what the group is going to do with hundreds of walkers headed towards, and maybe who blared the horn and turned their home from a safe camp to a walker feasting camp.
This episode was absolutely incredible. I love how this show grows every season and gets better and better every episode. The creativity and character development is better than any show I have ever watched and every weekend this is what I get pumped for. I would rate this epsiode a 10 out of 10, I don't think they could have made this episode better than it was. One thing I love to continue to see if Rick and Morgan's relationship. Since the beginning of the show we see their relationship get confrontational at moments but we also see it grow so much in a positive way. They teach each other when the other person is wrong, and their brotherly relationship is always amazing to see as their characters develop.
The Talking Dead is always something that I enjoy watching, they usually have some great guests on
there that most of the time will give us a behind the scenes perspective. This week Greg Nicotero, Scott Gimple, and Ethan Embry (Carter) were all on the show. Nicotero and Gimple gave us some great behind the scenes details as well as how they made this episode and their creative work behind the episode. Ethan Embry was also on the show and had some great things to say. I have always enjoyed his work and he is a great actor. As much as I like him, it was a relief to see his character go. Stay tuned for the next episode tonight, and keep up with our reviews on The Walking Dead, other tv shows and book reviews.
