The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 1

With the return of my favorite show, I thought it would be fun to take my Sunday reviews and make them all about that days episode of the Walking Dead.

We start up right where we left off from last season, with our protagonist group lead by Rick, starting to put together makeshift weapons with whatever they have available to them in order to attack their kidnappers and escape safely.

The Terminus group, lead by Gareth, has other plans for the survivors and drop a smoke bomb in from the ceiling, prompting those inside to just give in to Gareth's demands.

Elsewhere, Carole, Tyrese and Judith overhear a man talking over his radio about Michonne and Carl. She holds the man up at gun point and gets information as to where she can find the others.
As a large group of walkers approach Terminus, a tied up Rick  has a verbal dispute with Gareth about how they are going to kill one another ( and also a few unknown people being sacrificed for the terminus food production line ).

A large propane tank is set ablaze and explodes at the hands of Carole in order to not only cause a distraction, but to let the incoming walkers into the property.

Back at the cabin where Tyrese is waiting, a gang of walkers show up. The hostage uses it as a distraction and jumps over to Judith where he threatens to break her neck unless Tyrese walks outside.

Being true to his comic book origin, Tyrese not only kills them like a bad ass, but he bursts back into the cabin and takes down his enemy, without hesitation and eventually killing him.

After a large fight / escape scene, they gather together in the woods to reclaim weapons that Rick had hidden and run into Carole, whom Daryl and Rick welcome back with open arms.

She takes the group back to Tyrese and Judith for another heartfelt reunion for the Grimes family.
Great episode to start this season, I kept hearing all sorts of great things about tonight's show and I was not disapointed.

A few fun facts though incase you missed it.

- One of the people who were killed for meat (first guy with the blonde hair) to be killed was from the previous episode where Rick had banished Carole from the group.

-Rick had given this blonde guy his watch in order to meet up at a specific time and never saw him again until this episode. Carole saw the watch with the belongings and took it back for Rick.

-There was also a 30 second scene after everything was said and done of a man following the group down the tracks. He takes off his headgear to reveal that he is Morgan. The man who first helped Rick out when he came to from his coma.

- In the preview for next weeks episode we are introduced to a new character, a preacher named Gabriel. In the comic he is regretful of a horrible choice he made around the start of the zombie uprising when he refused to open the church doors to a large group of people looking for safety from a group of walkers.

I'm anxious to see if they follow the comic with his story or if they decided to create a new background story for him.

Other than that, no notable survivors were lost in this episode but we are currently still unaware of Beth's whereabouts.
