Walker - Episode 1x03 - Ash and Bone

What the hell is a “full English”?

This episode is the first of the series that hasn’t been written by you, Adam. I give Chris some huge props for this episode, yet another Walker episode that has blown me away. I have to be completely honest that this is my favorite episode yet. I was sucked right in to the scripts within the first few pages and (with the comedic aspects and action) I stayed into it until the end. It takes a lot to hold me interest, and this episode definitely succeeded in that.

I want to think about the ending first. As soon as it was brought up that Danny had been bitten by a vampire, I thought Boone was secretly the cause. I thought it would have been a great cliffhanger to end on. However, on the final page, we see that it was Paige. You can’t just let me have the easy way with a theory, can you Adam?

Mr. Jones was amazing in this episode. I hope that we can see more of him in the future. I enjoyed his character more than I did the leads in this episode. He had a great vibe to him and a great personality. He would make jokes, yet be completely serious. I loved the quote about how “bravery is just stupidity with its hair combed and a tie on.” That was the best line in the entire script.

As each episode goes on, Boone seems to be hiding something more and more. I get the feeling that his past haunts him. While we’re on the track of people’s pasts – Alec also seems like he will do whatever it takes to keep things secret. He doesn’t even like to talk to his friends about past events. I just hope that his past is told at one point or another.

Chloe also continues to be the most well-rounded character in the group. Though, this is probably just because she is the only ‘normal’ one out of the bunch. Her interaction with Rufus was great. Rufus is also another Guest Star that I hope we can see more of. He seemed to have some conflicting emotions this episode, so I hope that if we do indeed see him in the future, he has completely overcome them (it does seem like he did at the end of the episode, but you never know).
