"What's scarier than a zombie?" Holden asked.
Loki stopped and gave Holden a sober look."People."
Okay this episode was by far my favorite! I loved it! And more importantly I finally found a character I can understand and identify with him. Loki. I haven't seen his character before, because I missed episodes 3-8, but this episode definitelely made up! He is the one of the group that others apparently don't trust, because of previous actions and his attitude. I have to say I get it. Especially when he doesn't open up to others. But he is not obliged to either. He opens up to Holden though, so new friendship alert! I'm glad to see themes of bullying, loneliness, maybe depression and suicide being brought up in a way that doesn't stigmatize the illnesses nor the victim. Forgot to mention I even listened to Ghost Town by Shiny Toy Guns and got the full experience of Loki's last minutes in his previous life. Nice song! Also, there are plenty cultural references which makes the story far more believable.
This time the group splits up to explore the city. Holden and Loki find what appears to be a mall and they gather some supplies. They also discover some of the wildlife. I'm not going to spoil you on that, but I'd like to see what happens next with this said wildlife. The other teams make some discoveries too that'll definitely help them survive. The only problem is, is the city safe or not?!
We'll find out in the next episode. After this episode I'm more excited for the series! Definitely check the rest of the episodes out! Only 4 left???!!!
