Madison and Strand kill walkers in the bar from a couple of weeks ago. We hear Alicia call ‘Mom!’, as we did before, but we now see it from Madison’s point of view.  Strand is stabbing a walker as another one crawls over to them. They kill it. Madison breaks a bottle against the wall and calls to Strand. They both go into a little enclosure and stab a walker many many times, including in the head.  Then they reach into its stomach and cover themselves with guts. I guess Madison remembered Nick doing that. Strand and Madison walk back into the bar, and the walkers ignore them. They look at Strand and Madison but are quiet and docile, and meander about. Strand jumps over the bar and makes a bit of noise, but it barely phases the walkers. Madison climbs over the bar, carefully watching the walkers as she does so. Strand and Madison walk slowly away. Strand gently closes the door behind them, barricading it behind them. Now we know how the walkers got barricaded inside the bar area.   Continue reading “17.

The episode begins with a wedding reception in progress. The reception is taking place in the ballroom at the hotel where our group is currently fighting for their lives. We saw the sad aftermath of this reception a couple of episodes ago as Ofelia, Madison, Strand, and Alicia wandered through the blood-spattered ballroom. As our group wandered through the empty ballroom, they saw unopened presents, decorations, a lopsided wedding cake, and of course, blood. Continue reading “16.

The scene opens with a shot of blood on some bed sheets, and someone coughing. Nick’s asleep, again, but this time in a bed. He wakes up in the infirmary, due to the woman coughing. He looks over at the side of the bed and sees the blood. This is the third time we’ve seen Nick wake up during the series, including the very first episode. I wonder if it’s foreshadowing of some sort that he will eventually become a walker, or if he becomes special in some way.

Anyway, he gets up and goes outside into the camp.  It’s empty. Like deserted empty. Nick wanders around to see what he can see.  This camp also has a wall surrounding it, like other encampments we’ve seen on The Walking Dead. There’s even a guard posted on a platform on the wall, looking out for any approaching danger.  Nick climbs to similar high vantage point and sees a little girl. She’s crying, and when Nick asks her what’s wrong, she says ‘my papa’. Continue reading “15. Los Muertos, Season Two, Episode Nine. Original Air Date = August 28, 2016”

Nick, waking up. Definitely a call back to the very first episode when he woke up in the drug house/church.  He stretches, and looks around. He’s in a room with a couple of dead people. But of course.  I’m not sure where he is, somewhere on Celia’s estate that didn’t burn? Someplace nearby? The nurse from Celia’s walks inside the room. Nick looks out the open front door and sees a boy playing with a ball. Nick asks her where she’s going. She’s going south, and Nick should go with her, she says.  She sits down and asks him if he’s going to follow them. I think she means the walkers.  She says there is talk of other safer places, but there are bandits out there, and they’re dangerous. The nurse is looking for the boy’s father. “If he’s out there he (Juan, the boy) deserves to find him.” Nick gazes toward the corpses on the floor. Continue reading “14. Grotesque, Season Two, Episode Eight. Original Air Date = August 21, 2016”

The episode opens in a jungle with the little boy from the last episode. He’s looking at the river and it is filled with bodies. The little boy is Daniel.

Daniel and Ofelia wake up when they hear the shot (Strand killing Thomas). Daniel tells Ofelia they have to go. Ofelia can’t keep up when they run outside. Daniel says she has to keep up and then she scratches off her face. Then Daniel wakes up for real. Ofelia is still asleep in her bed, and thankfully, her face intact.

The group all discover Thomas dead in his bed. Celia is very upset, slaps Strand and says his soul is empty. She asks why Madison is there, and Madison says she’s Strand’s friend. Continue reading “13. Shiva, Season Two, Episode Seven. Original Air Date = May 22, 2016”

Inside a church in Mexico, with little alter boys singing – very Catholic. The background colors are all gold and brown, very religious. The priest is sitting by the alter, looking haggard. There are worried looking parishioners inside, listening to the service. In Spanish, the priest says the times we are living in are testing our belief. They all get communion. Where is our god and why would he test us like this? The priest says that he knows the answer. The god he knows wouldn’t do such a thing. This isn’t our god. This evil wants us to turn away from him and our faith. It feeds our doubt. Don’t give in to it. Do not feed it.  Everyone is getting communion while he gives his speech. They go outside and pick up weapons. Continue reading “12. Sicut Cervus, Season Two, Episode Six. Original Air Date = May 15, 2016”

We see someone cutting cilantro and shallots and garlic, salt, oil, peppers, and then he throws a chop of some sort into a hot pan. Connor, who is holding Alicia captive, is making food. He’s watching skiing on the TV. Pregnant woman walks in and observes. Connor says that his NY strips are what get people through the day. He made the NY strip for Alicia. Alicia wants to see Travis, but Connor wants to get to know her first. Connor thinks she would be happy here. Connor says that Jack has a sense about her. The TV and electricity go out. He tells her to stay put. Pregnant woman is watching her. Alicia looks at the food and begins to eat. She barely takes two bites and the pregnant woman takes it away from her and locks her inside. Alicia runs down the hall checking locked doors, and finally finds a porthole that leads her to the top of the boat.  She looks around. Their boat is sitting in a dock, but it’s not in the water, it’s on a platform – dry dock. The boat looks like it’s being worked on – maybe some kind of maintenance. Anyway, it’s not in the water, and it’s not going anywhere. Continue reading “11. Captive, Season Two, Episode Five. Original Air Date = May 8, 2016”

It’s night time and we see waves crashing into a pier.  Someone is swimming in the dark, heading to shore. Nick? Yeah it’s Nick. He’s naked, or close to it. He has a plastic bag tied to his arm. Must have been a tough swim because he looks exhausted. He finally makes it to shore, evading the searchlights of a helicopter scanning the shoreline. A little ways from shore, we also see  boats with search lights too.

Nick puts his clothes on – kept dry by the plastic bag. Pretty brave of him to swim in the dark, when we’ve seen lots of walkers on the beach. Continue reading “10. Blood in the Streets, Season Two, Episode Four. Original Air Date = May 1, 2016”

We hear muted screaming in the background, and see debris floating in the ocean water. As the camera pans back, we can see that it is the remains of a plane wreck. We see Alex from Flight 462 surface from underneath the water, then she dives looking for something, and she surfaces. She calls out for Jake and sees him floating with some wreckage. He’s severely burned on his head and face.  There are a few other survivors and they all end up on one of the yellow life rafts from the plane. Right off the bat one of the guys who joins them on the raft has a big bite on his ankle. They beat him in the head and over the side he goes. Sometime later Alex is trying to help Jake by putting alcohol on his wound to disinfect it. He screams. Night time, the survivor in the suit tries to kill Jake but Alex stops him by hitting him hard in what looks like the throat, and then tosses him over the side of the raft. That’s some guilt she’s carrying around from taking Jake’s mom’s seat on the plane. Continue reading “9. Ouroboros, Season Two, Episode Three. Original Air Date = April 24, 2016”

The shore and beach, maybe at dawn. Looks nice and inviting. Two little kids are heading toward the water. Oh no, there’s a a walker standing up in the surf. He sees the kids, but they don’t yet see him.  Ooops, the first walker is now joined by one of his walker pals.  The kids broke a cardinal rule – don’t ever turn your back on the ocean – or the walkers!  Can’t the kids hear them? Oh, there’s a fence between the kids and walkers, well, I guess that’s okay then. The kids are now running away from the fence.  Now we see a sky shot, showing us the sunrise and the clouds.  Credits. Continue reading “8. All Fall Down, Season Two, Episode Two.
