Walker - Episode 1x04 - The Cradle

This first true cliffhanger was awesome. On top of the main cliffhanger, though, we also have a bunch of smaller ones. What does the hole in the skull mean? What does Jackson know that he isn’t telling Kate? What exactly is going on with Sam? How in the hell can Alec be wrong about something? All are great questions that I can’t wait to get answers to.

A point that I want to bring up is the fact that Alec was wrong. Here he is saying that Sam isn’t possessed and that it is something else, yet it even says in the script that the people following Sam are possessed – which means to me that Sam is too. No real answers have been given as to what is going on with him, but I’m sure that they’ll figure out eventually.

I wasn’t all that happy about the reactions of the others when Alec flashed white. I expected Kate or Iris to be freaking out, but no. Iris is just upset, while Kate acts calm, cool, and collected. I think Kate should have questioned things more.

I enjoyed Baines in this episode. His relationship with Alec is well played and they have a great connection to one another. I hope their past is something that is explored. While Baines doesn’t interest me quite as much as Mr. Jones, I still would like to see more of him.

While this episode did keep me sucked into just as much as the previous, I still didn’t enjoy this episode as much as the last. I felt too much time was spent with the group while the cooking and drinking was going on. That was my main problem with the entire script. Although the dialogue kept me interested, it did seem to drag on for longer than it should have. Nonetheless, this was another great episode.

Jimbo’s Next Theory
The hole that was found in the other skull will prove vital to figuring out what is going on – Not only with Sam, but with all of the evil that can be felt in the area.
