Let me just say, that OMG, this series don't ever get boring! Which I find kind of difficult to keep up when you deal with a zombie apocalypse and there isn't really too much to do after a while. For example, Resident Evil. I used to love the video games (and I still do), but the movies.. yeah, not so much. The first and second ones were absolutely amazing, but after the 3rd one, things just got repetitive, and you could see that they didn't have that much to create anymore. The plot lines were completely lost, and well, the saga is going downhill.
BUT, The Walking Dead, after 30 episodes is as amazing as it was on episode 1. The suspense is huge, and as the season continues you are really surprised about the things they come up with to keep the show alive. And for me, I can't say enough times what an amazing show it is. The best of the best on zombie apocalypses for me.Tuesday's episode "Clear", had a slight twist. The upcoming war with the Governor is held at bay, and instead it focuses on something, or rather, someone who we 've been thinking on since Season 1. Rick goes on a road trip with Carl and Michonne to Atlanta (see where this is going?) And they go back to their hometown. Oh, before this, they find a hitchhiker, but they ignore his calling for help and leave him in the road. When they arrive to Atlanta, they see a house armed with spikes and tramps to the walkers. A guy on a rooftop aims a gun at Rick's group, but they manage to catch him first. When Rick takes the helmet off, who he sees? Morgan.
While he is unconscious, Rick takes care of him and Carl and Michonne search for a craddle. But, Carl instead of going to the baby shop, he goes somewhere else to look for a picture of his mom and dad. They go to this room and unfortunately, their plan to distract the zombies doesn't work and they are chased. After their escape, Michonne tells Carl to hang in there while she returns to pick up the photo. Amazingly fast, she returns, uninjured. That was a very sweet moment because Carl starts to trust Michonne, and after all she's done to help the group, she really deserves it. Then we have the moment we were all waiting for. Morgan wakes up, and after attacking Rick and being subdued, his mind comes back to the present and he reveals shocking news. When he and his son were looking for food, he left him while he searched on the basement, and surprise! His wife (who we all know was turned into a zombie and he couldn't bring himself to kill) is right there in front of his son. He is aiming the gun, but can't fire and in a panicking moment, Morgan calls him, and then... his own mother attacks him! Morgan then needs to bring himself to kill his wife, and later, when his son turns into a zombie, kill him as well.
May I just say that this is so so so cruel!! And unexpected. Like, we kind of saw it coming, but not with "the mother kills her son" thing. This plot line reminds me of the time when Carl had to shoot Lori before she became a walker.
Later, they leave Morgan and go back on the road, just to find the poor hitchhiker completely devoured and his backpack lying a few feet from his body. Michonne stops the car, and they pick up the backpack and leave. That's how it ends! That was so heartbreaking!!! And, we can also notice this new mindset for surviving. Not trusting anyone, not saving anyone and just doing whatever it takes to protect themselves. This reminds me of Rick's last words on the season 2 finale "This isn't a Democracy anymore".
