The Walking Dead: No Way Out
“No Way Out” is much like many other episodes of The Walking Dead, where little of consequence is going on and the episode is working itself at a moderate pace until all hell breaks loose at the very end. This was punctuated at the beginning of the episode where they show normalcy in Alexandria after the attack of the Savior compound. Things have settled into a routine. By the end of the episode we have the death of a character, a departure of another, and an escalation of hostilities with the Saviors.
Abraham and Eugene
Abraham was front and center in this episode with his confrontation with Eugene (sparked by Eugene’s displeasure with the way Abraham handled his breakup with Rosita), his new romantic entanglements with Sasha, and his role in the confrontation with the Saviors. Abraham was very busy in this episode. I like his back and forth with Eugene about how Eugene had evolved and was in his stage 2 of his evolution. Most of what Eugene says is complete and utter nonsense but he showed that there was some truth in it, first with his idea about making bullets and then biting the savior’s nether regions as they fought the Saviors at the end. This may have been Eugene’s shining moment on the show to date.
Darryl
Darryl learned a lesson in this episode—he has been getting soft as time goes on. The old Darryl would have killed the saviors when he had the chance, and now they paid the price for it. I fear that the end is near for my favorite Walking Dead character. Rumor has it that Norman Reedus in production for a new series on AMC, which could lead to Darryl’s demise since he probably can’t do both series at the same time. My guess is that he meets his doom in the season finale. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Dr. Denise
I didn’t think Denise was going to bite the dust in this episode. I thought Rosita would be the one to die. Alas, her own stupidity led to her demise. In the Walking Dead there are fighters who know how to survive and those who aren’t capable of fighting. Those who don’t know how to fight, such as Denise, need to listen to those who do. If she hadn’t gone for that stupid cooler and raised such a ruckus in the process, the Saviors most likely wouldn’t have caught up to them and Alexandria would still have its doctor.
Carol
When Carol first started reading the note at the end, I thought she was just breaking up with her new dude. I was stunned to hear that she was leaving Alexandria. Where exactly is she going? And how is she going to avoid killing people unless she is isolated in some wilderness far away from other human beings. In the world of The Walking Dead, this is the way of life.
