Who's The New Guy?

So last Sunday we met an oddly-clean guy named Aaron. But who is he? And is he good news or bad news? This guy can help us out!

*SPOILER ALERT*

On the Road Again/A Friend

On Sunday, the Walking Dead continued with Episode 10: Them.

The group, having decided that Washington is still the best option they have, sets out. Their journey goes on for awhile with little incident, but their food finding efforts are all coming up dry. A pack of feral dogs arrives, and provides a much needed meal after an intense stand-off. Later, while the group is deciding whether or not to drink some water that "a friend" left them, a violent storm starts up. They all head to a barn that Daryl had found earlier and try to outlast the storm. After a long night of pushing the barn door against a horde of walkers, the group gets ready to set out again in the morning. As they saw when they stepped outside, the main part of the storm, which uprooted entire trees, just barely missed the barn where they were staying. Before the episode ends, a strangely clean man shows up, and says he is "a friend".

Who is this man and is he really a friend, or really an enemy? We'll find out next time!

The Walking Dead: Episode 9

On Sunday the 5th season of Walking Dead continued with episode 9: "What Happened and What's Going On."

 This episode was focused mainly on two characters. The group decides to help Noah reach his former home near Richmond, Virginia. When they arrive, they find the gated area empty and filled with walkers. Noah is devastated, and Tyreese stays with him as the rest of the group searches some of the houses for supplies. Noah runs off to find his former house, and Tyreese chases after him. Rick and Michonne talk about still going to Washington, despite the disappointment of the last attempt. They start to clear the house together, and during the sweep Tyreese is bitten by Noah's brother-turned-walker. He ends up losing a lot of blood, along with suffering from some creepy visions. They fight their way out of the complex, carrying Tyreese in their arms. They make it back to the vehicle and start driving back. After losing massive amounts of blood, Tyreese finally succumbs to the bite and dies. The group stops and gives him a burial.

RIP Tyreese, the nicest person in the entire show! I'll be ready for the next episode this Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing the group try again to make it to Washington!

If You Don't Know A Lot About the Show

What's up guys!

Today I'd like to just do a quick overview of The Walking Dead for anyone who isn't very familiar with the show. The show revolves around zombies, called walkers. These are your regular, slow-but-deadly zombies. It is only known that the walkers' condition is a virus that turns the newly dead into their zombified state. Our main protagonist (and at times antagonist) is Rick Grimes, a former small town sheriff. The story follows him, his family, and friends and enemies they find along the way. The show's main conflict is shared between this group of friends, other survivors, and the ever-present walkers.
