Afterlife - Episode 1x07 - Murder (Part 1)

The first part of this two-part episode of Afterlife failed to disappoint. The scenes didn’t miss a beat and, like usual when I read this great series, I read it straight through without stopping. When I can read straight through an episode and not even get a drink or anything, then you know that you succeeded in keeping the story interesting for the reader.

First off, I’m going to kill somebody!! How, just how, could you kill Vergil?? For me, he was my favorite guest star that has been in Afterlife so far, so for him to just die… leaves me for at a complete loss for words. Although it had been mentioned in the last episode that he would die eventually, I did feel like he died pretty quickly. We go to that scene and he interjects a few things and then just dies. I wish more time would have been devoted to his death. Now I have to hope that a certain somebody will be resurrected…

This episode was a little more intricate and confusing then the past 6 episodes of the series. We had a lot of new things that we were introduced to. So the Lord of Murder has basically captured Aurora and Aurora has been taken over by Rachel (who nearly killed Aurora in the first place). I had a feeling something was up after Aurora and Jonathan ‘got it on’. I just never would have thought that Aurora wasn’t actually… Aurora. Things are getting really interesting and I think it’s all going to lead up to something even bigger at the end of the season.

I really like that we’re seeing more of Marius and Kate now. Hopefully they’ll survive their current predicament and keep playing into the story.

I can’t wait to see how this two-part episode ends. I hope that we’ll get some more answers on the Lord of Murder before the next episode ends. I also can’t wait to see what direction things will go as we get even closer to the finale.

Jimbo’s Next Theory
I get the feeling that Jonathan will be Aurora’s savior. Rachel (Aurora) may end up acting strangely around him and then Jonathan will realize that something very bad is going on. I get the feeling that this might be resolved in the next episode (part 2). I guess I’ll just have to wait and see…
