The Walking Dead Season One Episode Four: Vatos

Wow. I mean, wow. This show is amazing. Last Sunday's episode was the best one so far. It is weird being able to watch something about zombies and having emotional attachments to many of the characters; with The Walking Dead, you have that. The episode Vatos was written by Robert Kirkman, the very same man that writes the graphic novels. And he delivers.
                     The episode starts with the two sisters, Andrea and Amy, fishing and reminiscing about their father. This scene is an emotional powerhouse. You learn so much about their strained relationship (they were born twelve years apart), and they come to some heart-breaking realizations about their father. Laurie Holden and Emma Bell, Andrea and Amy respectively, definitely show their acting abilities in this scene. The show takes an interesting turn by showing one of the survivors digging holes on top a hill, an action that leaves everyone with questions that would not be answered until the end of the episode. It moves from this right to where the last episode left off; Rick, Glenn, Daryl, and T-Dog standing on the roof of the department store they left Merle on.
                  I really don't want to give too much of the plot out because it is such a great episode and I want you guys to watch it for yourself. This episode has some of the scenes I have seen on television in a long time. There is even an hilarious scene involving someone's grandmother stopping a gunfight before it could start by walking into the room. There is some awesome violence, some emotional intense scenes, and humour.
                 The last scene of the episode was especially magnificent. The emotions ran high, and as a viewer you are sitting there tense waiting to see how it is resolved. Some of the camp survivors, the characters that the viewers get attached to, die. And the grief felt by the characters is felt by the viewers.
               This series has continued to amaze me with its stories, characters, and effects. I really hope this show stays on for a long time. I for one will continue to watch this show. And hopefully I will be enjoying every minute.
