The Walking Dead Season One Episode Five

Episode Five: This episode starts with Rick on his radio trying to get a hold of Morgan letting him know not to get to Atlanta, that it is dangerous. We also see Andrea mourning the loss of her sister and having to killer her. The men of the group are making sure all the walkers are dead and burn them.

 We see Glenn get emotion about not burning members of the group who were attacked by walkers. Jim appears to be bite and this sets the group on edge. The group tries to decide where they are to go and get help from Jim. They decide to head towards the CDC, since they should be well armed, have food, shelter and other needs.

 Shane and Rick are still at odds with each other. Trying to figure out who is alpha male in the group. Even so the group still moves on towards the CDC in hopes of safety. The RV cannot go any further and Jim is getting worse. He cannot take the ride and asks to be left on the side of the road. The group talks about whether to honor Jim’s wish or not. After they leave Jim, we meet a Doctor who leaves his own videos on his experience. He seems to be working for the CDC and trying to understand the virus that has the whole world mad.

 The group makes it to the CDC finally and finds walkers everywhere and no access to the CDC. They have to walk quietly in order to get to the doors. At first they are not allowed in, but after Rick pleas with him, the doors open.

 Review: This episodes really plays on the human emotion. Loosing love ones, how to deal with someone who is clinging on to a dead love one and how to keep surviving when so much is going wrong. To be honest I would never think of going to a place like the CDC, but maybe if I knew it was a virus or something biological I might. I guess if it was mentioned on the radio and whatnot, it would make sense. I think this episode builds up to the end of the series very well. We know that things will never go simple. Murphy's Law as we know always plays into affect in situations like this.
