As much as I also wanted to know what happened after what the last episode gave us as much as the next person does, I think the show made a pretty good move not to give us just that. Why? Not just because this episode was great, not only because to make Morgan's character brilliantly fleshed out but to make sure fans would discuss about what happened the past episode while giving us some filler which at the end of the day, will keep the audience wanting more.
"Here's Not Here" is one of, if not the best episode which heavily focuses on developing a character all throughout its runtime. It is memorable, quotable, poignant and explores a whole lot more depth about the world of The Walking Dead, even if it only stars 2 main characters whom we don't know that much about yet. The episode kicks off with Morgan and his experience with the zombie apocalypse. He's broken, tormented and lost his way, he wants to clear anyone or anything out of his way and just kill them. But he stumbles upon Eastman's home and gets locked in a cell wherein Eastman now tries to change Morgan's way. This episode is quite special and pretty deep even without the usual zombie galore fest or action set pieces. It strives to get a rich atmosphere, showing us elegant shots of nature and rich and well though dialogue to give us more from what the show actually offers. Seeing Morgan and Eastman interact was very intriguing and I was surprised because I thought this episode would end up being a bore-fest. The episode really got us invested into, not only Morgan, but Eastman as well. The episode delivers excellent exposition dialogue and sometimes visual storytelling at it's finest. Moving on to the technical aspect of this episode, there were some really great shots and cinematography through out this episode which shows the vast and lonely feeling of the world that the show has created.
To sum it all up, don't be discouraged not to watch this episode for it is one you shouldn't miss even if it doesn't really follow up what happened last episode, because I'm pretty sure Morgan will play a large and important role this season.
Verdict: 9.7/10
