Season 1 Episode 6 - Ts-19

OK last week's episode 5 of The Walking Dead,which is called "Wildfire", wasn't a weak episode. It was a strong one with great performances from most of the cast members. It was a slower episode with a little bit of everything. It had some action, great character development and drama. But i truly believe that "Wildfire" was a path that led to an explosive season 1 finale, which is called "Ts-19".

"Ts-19" starts immediately from where we left last week. Rick's group is welcomed to enter and taste the luxury of CDC but peace won't remain for a long time. After Dr. Edwin Jenner took a blood sample from everyone they organized a dinner. Rick and the others slowly realize that the CDC if full of food and other supplies so they start to grow with the idea of staying here for a while. The group is broken from what happened to the camp the other day so most of them are trying to find their own space. After the meal, when everyone is asleep, conflict starts between Shane and Lori. Shane tried to seduce and rape her. But she fought back and made him stop. The next morning Edwin tries to update Rick's group about the plague. He tells them that he tried to find a cure and a way to stop what's happening but he ended up losing the last sample. Test Subject - 19 was his wife, whose last wish was to examine her reanimated corpse so her husband could find a cure. He admits that the last sample was lost during an accident in his lab. Jenner also informs the group that CDC is on a countdown of self-destruct. Tensions soon arise within the group. Shane blames Rick and Jenner for condemning the lives of the others. Jenner tells secretly something to Rick and then he lets them escape from the room they were trapped but he suggests them to hurry because the countdown ends. Andrea and Jacqui decide to stay with Jenner. Dale convinces Andrea not to give up on life. She decides to follow him and they are trying to find a way out of the CDC. Nearly before the explosion Carol gives to Rick a frag-grenade that he previously scavenged from the walker in the tank. They reach their cars and then the CDC explodes.

"TS-19" was another stellar episode of the Walking Dead. It was a great episode but it didn't give the taste of a finale. Sure the Atlanta story ark seems that reached the deadline but I believe they could have found other ways to end such a great season. All and all this episode was awesome. It had action, character development and it pushed the story forward. Because now we know that Rick's group is heading out of Atlanta. I'm so curious what other threats Rick will come against and how he will co-exist with Shane. For me is a 9 out of 10.
