Walker - Episode 1x05 - To Tame A Land

Why exactly did Baines call Alec ‘Your Lordship’?

This episode got me hooked into Walker even more than I was before. I was very interested as to how the cliffhanger would be resolved. My one worry was that there wouldn’t be enough material to cover an entire two episodes, but I was quickly proved wrong.

I’m going to start off with a problem I had with this episode, and then dive into what I enjoyed. Simply put, I feel that the ending was rushed. I also wished it would have been resolved differently. Here we are in this battle between two Knights and this evil force, yet Sam simply stands up and he and the other spirits basically engulf Milligan. It was towards the end of the script to, so that made me think it was a quicker way to get out of the situation. There, my problem is out of the way now.

After this episode, I want to see more of Kate. After 1x04, I wasn’t interested enough in her. Now I am. Her relationship with Jackson picked up very quickly, leading to the kiss at the end. I hope that their relationship will grow, but with Kate not being a lead, that is doubtful. MAKE KATE A LEAD!

I enjoyed seeing how the other troops stood up for their own men and went against Galloway. I never liked him, from the start of the last episode. I feel like he was written that way, too. Galloway was a character that was bad, but I thought he would get his way. Thankfully, he was stopped, which is something I didn’t see coming.

Overall, this was another great episode. It resolved the previous cliffhanger, but it also took up two episodes, with no mention of the larger mystery – Spartacus.

I look forward to the next episode, especially with the title. Boone is the lead that we know the least about, so hopefully we’ll get to know more about him (And we better since the episode is named after him!).

Jimbo’s Next Theory
Adam Scott will be an evil little host and wait a LONG time to form any relationships (whether it be between Alec and Chloe or Kate and Jackson).
