Afterlife - Episode 1x08 - Murder (Part 2)

What a kick-ass episode! While I wasn’t as into this episode as others, it was still a very well written episode that featured a heavy amount of action. I figured that we would see a lot of action this episode; after all, there isn’t much of a way to outsmart people in this world.

One of the coolest things that I’ll remember for quite a while was Jonathan putting the oil on his sword and using that to win a fight with Rachel, but also to rescue Aurora. It was a very cool idea (definitely better than the boot, which was also good) and as I said, I’ll remember those scenes for quite a while.

Jonathan also gets another enemy in this episode. I swear, there can’t be an episode of Afterlife without having at least one enemy featured. First it was Marcus the Cutter, then we had Trias, and now we have the Lord of Murder. As interesting of a character that Trias was, I am happy that we got a break for a new villain. The Lord of Murder is definitely someone that should be feared and it’ll be cool to see how Jonathan (and possibly Aurora) will deal with him later on down the road.

I am again disappointed by a death in this episode. Marius was another good guest star and seemed to be a great father figure for Kate. I can now see another reason why this two-part episode was titled ‘Murder’.

Kate seems to have become more central to the show over the past few episodes. As I’ve already said, I really like her, so I hope that we’ll continue to see more of her as the show continues. (Unless she’s going to be killed off too, just like my other favorite guest stars!!!!!)

The darkness in Aurora has the potential to turn into something very crazy. Aurora is obviously fighting whatever is inside of her, but the question is whether Aurora will prevail or not. More on that in my next theory though.

Only 3 episodes left to read and then I’ll be finished with Season 1! I can’t wait to get to reading them!

Jimbo’s Next Theory
I believe that Jonathan will play a key role in getting rid of whatever that darkness is that’s inside of Aurora. If he doesn’t, I get the feeling that things may turn out very, very bad.
