Multiple threats pressure the prison inhabitants: the increase of walkers o= utside the prison gates, and the deteriorating conditions of the people inf= ected by the deadly virus. It marks the return of The Governor (David Morri= ssey), who has been absent since the season three finale, "Welcome to the T= ombs." Inside the quarantined A Block, conditions continue to worsen for those inf= ected by the deadly virus. Hershel tends to the patients, with the aid of S= asha and Glenn. Hershel starts closing everyone's cell doors, following the= advice of the dying Dr. Subramanian, and kills those who succumb to the vi= rus away from the others' view. the walking dead s04e05 DOWNLOAD https://t.co/NK88KQh9Fb Returning to the side of an unconscious Glenn, Hershel realizes he needs th= e bag valve mask still strapped to the intubated walker, and wrestles it fo= r the bag. Maggie heads to the visitation room, kills the remaining undead = and shoots the intubated walker, allowing Hershel to retrieve the bag for G= lenn. Outside, the fence gives way and a horde of walkers get in. Rick and = Carl arm themselves with assault rifles and gun them down. Right after they= finish, the van with Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese, and Bob arrives with the me= dicine needed for the remaining sick, and Carl reassures his father that th= ey will be all right. Tyreese goes and cradles his sister in his arms, whil= e Bob goes to administer drugs to Glenn. Hershel returns to the cell of Dr.= Subramanian, opens his Bible and breaks down into tears for his fallen fri= end. Their night is about to get a whole lot worse when we cut to see a herd of = walkers piling their bodies against the car on the bridge and falling into = the water. John wakes in the night to see them all coming up from the shore= . He shouts for Laura and starts hacking away at them. Most fall into the d= itches, but so many pile on top of each other that it allows for other walk= ers to walk unimpeded along their backs. Soon they become overwhelmed and L= aura falls into a ditch herself. The dead are reaching for her when John wh= ips out both his guns. This is the story John has been telling Morgan in the present. He clutches = a small tin that carries those Scrabble pieces and Morgan reminds him that = Laura/Naomi still loves him. He refuses to let John believe Laura is dead a= nd that Alicia must have been wrong. So they set out with a reignited hope = and determination to find her. That is if her daughter is dead. When someone says that they "lost" someone= -- especially in this world -- one would assume she died. But what if she = didn't die, and Naomi only believes her child to be dead. What did you think of "Laura"? Where you surprised to learn that Naomi had = a child whom she lost? Could her child actually be Charlie? Do you think Na= omi could be dead? If she is alive, will John ever find her? The vast bulk of 'Laura' is all about John Dorie's kind of incredible life = of solitude in his cabin by the river. As far as post-apocalyptic existence= s go, John has it made. He's dug a trench between his cabin and the river t= o help keep out the dead. He fishes and gathers berries and cactus fruit. H= e has power, though I'm not sure how. I suspect either a generator or solar= . We'll leave that be. Update: He has a windmill! I missed this, my mistake= . I figured it was something like that but just didn't notice... She doesn't tell him her name, so he gives her one: Laura. We know her as N= aomi. And like the Naomi who tried to run from Alicia and the rest of the D= iamond survivors last week, she tries to run from John just the moment she = can. She steals some stuff and tries to make off with his truck but the bat= tery is dead and he manages to convince her to stay. That's another thing. I love that this show still has great zombie moments.= I didn't really care for last week's episode, but I loved the water park a= nd the fact that we had some great scary, tense moments with the undead. Th= is is a zombie show, after all. The Walking Dead hardly even uses zombies a= nymore. It's all about the living vs the living all the time. I like that F= ear isn't going that route, even if they do have a similar conflict set up = with the Vultures now. Actually, I thought of the famous line from Casablanca "I think this is the= beginning of a beautiful friendship and then realized that the scene of Jo= hn and Morgan walking off is actually incredibly similar to the final scene= in that movie. I mean, look: Inside A Block, things continue to worsen as more members get sick. Henry c= annot breathe, so Hershel decides to intubate him, which allows him to be m= anually ventilated with an air bag. Sasha and Glenn take shifts pumping air= into Henry's lungs, beginning with Sasha. Glenn and Hershel find Mr. Jacob= son dead, with blood covering his face from his nose and mouth. Glenn reach= es for his knife, intending to stab him in the head so he won't reanimate. = However, Hershel stops him and says not to do it in front of everyone. Inst= ead, they load him onto a gurney so he can be transported to a more isolate= d location. As Mr. Jacobson begins to reanimate, Hershel finds that he is u= nable to put him down. Glenn steps in and finishes the job. The next morning, Rick returns to his usual routine, splashing water on his= face. He is about to go talk to Daryl when Carl comes along. Rick instead = decides to spend time with Carl harvesting the garden. Hershel helps Michon= ne and Daryl load up the dead bodies. Daryl asks where Carol is, and Hershe= l avoids the question by telling him that she is fine but to talk to Rick a= bout her. Michonne extends an offer to Hershel to join her, and he accepts. The next morning, John finds Naomi trying to steal his truck. He calmly exp= lains how she got there and how the battery in his truck his dead. John off= ers her food, water, and a clean bandage, which she reluctantly accepts. In= side, he helps stitch up her wound and makes her fish stew. He introduces h= imself and asks if he can call her Laura until she feels comfortable. Altho= ugh she promises not to stay long, he offers her the bed and sets up a shee= t to give her privacy. This seems to warm her up a bit, and they briefly di= scuss her career as a nurse before she goes to bed. At night, Naomi discove= rs him cleaning his gun. "Internment" mostly takes place in the sick wing, a setting that dramatizes= all the desperation of the infected incredibly well. For the first time si= nce the show began, the threat of Glenn's dying is palpable. No one is gett= ing better, and the number of dead grow by the day. The survivors are despe= rate for a cure, but no one is willing to care for the sick (and risk thems= elves), except for Hershel. This is a scene The Walking Dead excels at. First there's the reveal of a d= ead woman in her cell, out of Herschel's control because he can't close the= cells quickly enough. Then he happens upon Sasha passed out, and needs to = take time to revive her. And in excruciating fashion, seconds tick by as He= rschel tends to Sasha, waits with her, talks with her, before casually movi= ng on to other patients. The doctor is gone, others have turned, a sick man= eaten, and a man previously intubated and kept alive by the kindness and d= etermination of a fading Glenn and Sasha turns and bears down on one of the= fan-favorite characters on the show. That night, Laura cleans him up. As they argue about using the gun, John te= lls Laura about the day he killed someone as a cop. It was a robber, and Jo= hn shot him in the foot and let him bleed out. The robber turned, and it ha= unted John for a while, even when people celebrated him as a hero. Back in = the bridge, the dead Walker in the car slides off and accidentally hits the= handbrake, causing it to move away from the opening and allowing the horde= of Walkers to fall. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the FTWD showrunners were asked = the question of whether Naomi is really dead. While Goldberg did not actual= ly confirm Laura's status, his brief answer did not exactly say that she is= already dead but merely hinted that there could be more to the story. The other possibility is that the upcoming FTWD Season 4 Episode 5 might ju= st be one big flashback. If this is the case, there will be no need to expl= ain Laura's current whereabouts because she could still be dead at present = while being explored next episode from John's perspective. With the likes of Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Michonne= (Danai Gurira) currently out hunting for supplies, Hershel has taken it on= himself to look after those suffering from the deadly disease that has dec= imated the prison, despite the risk of infection such actions entail. He's = played little more than advisor figure in the last couple of seasons, but h= ere he proves himself the backbone of the show as he courageously tries to = treat the inflicted. Unable to keep the undead locked in their cells, it's a terrifying moment w= hen they break out and swarm over the prison, as we realise the one-legged = Hershel is the only one around who can fight the zombie hordes. Unfortunate= ly the incredibly tense race to save the gravely sick Glenn, with Hershel g= rappling with one of the undead over the bag valve mask, is hampered by Bea= r McCreary's overblown score. What we're left with for now is a lot of dead redshirts, and morale at an a= ll time low. As Hershel quotes Travels with Charley to Rick: "A sad soul ki= lls quicker than any germ". American literature from Steinbeck and Sawyer i= s referenced in the episode, but it's from the Bible that Hershel finds his= faith tested. The he returns to Caleb's (Sunkrish Bala) cell to read the g= ospel, only to break down in tears, is a quietly powerful moment that highl= ights the difficulties to not fall in to despair when confronted with such = tragedy. Within the secret complex, Eleven has a shaved head again and starts walkin= g through the facility before the main story of Stranger Things takes place= . Something abnormal is going on as she seems to be stuck in a continuous l= oop. Sometimes people ask about storytelling in the past. One of the reasons I l= ove stories was that they allowed my mind to roam and intersect with other = people in the way that prayer or meditation or song allowed the mind and em= otions to intersect with spirit. I think storytelling is our, it is a techn= ology we have come up with that connects mind, emotion, and bodies, and pas= t and present and exploring the future. I know that Caesar wrote that and I= was in his future, but I'm reading it now. And after I'm dead, someone wil= l read something that I have either read, or if God is kind, something I've= written. So the very act of writing is an assertion into the future. The l= anguage I'm using was created by ancient human beings desperate to communic= ate with one another, and over time and time and time. eebf2c3492
