People will always be people until their death. There is no doubt about that. Sometimes you have to love stupid people for their amazing actions. But sometime, well, sometimes there is the need for retaliation. Punching bag you have no idea how much I love you. I realized I have never said it to you directly, but I really do. You are such a great stress reliever when I give you an ACTUAL person’s name. You are my sunshine my one and only sunshine. Ah, to die…to sleep…no more. Wildfire…
Wildfire
Well, for the most part I do not quite get the title of this episode. Though it reminded me of Danny Trejos’ señorita tattoo on his chest (this is from the Bubble Boy movie for those that do not know), I misunderstood the title’s relation to the plot.
When I think of wildfire, I think of retaliation. Where was it in this episode? That is easy—nowhere. Perhaps there was some type of internal burning. But again this internal burning should cause you to retaliate, should it not? Perhaps I am in the singularity, but I think this show was produced without an ounce of thought that it was going to be such a success. The zombie makeup is incredible, but the storyline is borderline victorious. The story builds up great in this episode, but when it reaches its climax it gives you the run around. Think of it like this:
In a game show you will be given the famous three door choices. You are belligerently anxious to discover what the hell is behind every one of those doors, however, you can only pick one. When you finally pick a door and for the sake of argument you pick door number two, you are fully dissatisfied with what was behind that door because you thought it was a round trip to a distant country or a new car. Unfortunately, none was behind door number two.
The episode picks up from where the previous one ended. After the humans’ most recent zombie attacks or walker attacks, they all agreed to find refuge elsewhere. However, some felt unsafe about the sudden decision and decided to depart from the group. This was a very touching scene because after sharing and trusting their lives with others they had to express their goodbyes. I despise these types of goodbyes; the type of goodbyes that makes your eyes watery. For this I fully applauded the show. When the characters in this show act with a sense of deliverance, it makes the show nearly invisible—unstoppable even. Sometimes you have to thank the small scenes because it makes the show exactly what it is. However, these bombshells do not always go off with a bang as mentioned on my previous The Walking Deadblogs. Sadly, this is when the show falls into collision course. Hopefully, for the second season the writing and the acting will get some sort of tune up.
As Rick and the rest set off to complete their mission, all must accept and agree uneasy decisions. One of which included Jim and this is all I can give away. As the journey reaches an end, the episode was exposed with a magnificent silhouette but with a cliffhanger that left me saying, ‘Really?’ while frowning. I am trying very hard to enjoy this show, but for some reason it is just not cutting it for me. Some of the comments I have read for this show are comparing it to something that would be playing on the Lifetime channel. I hate to say it, but it is tough to disagree with such comments after witnessing the ending to this episode. There is only one episode left for this season of The Walking Dead and already I have heard such rumors that the ending was pretty weak. This does not sound very convincing nor promising, but this is me wishing those rumors are just rumors and I will eventually put an end to them.
I give this badboy – 3/5
