After a week of recovery and weekend full of Formula 1 is time for me to go back to one of my favorite hobbies, that’s watching TV Series, there are a couple I’m trying to finish before I start some others like The Fall of the House of Usher and some others, I have even though of posting twice a day but I don’t want to burn out, this time I try to kill some hours on Daryl Dixon. Second episode the story is still building up, this time it tells us a bit more about Isabelle and Laurent, from episode one I knew there had to be some sort of connection between them, she was not a nun like the rest she even probably got into religion as an escape route to all her bad habits, after all zombie apocalypse hits so there is no place to party, do drugs, her life stile was done.
Over all I’m still finding the series a bit vague, not necessarily bad but still havent feel it kicking in, may be on episode three and four things will pick up the pace, Dead City started with a little bit more energy although different personalities, on Dead City we got Negan and Maggie a couple that talks and do a lot more, Daryl is more of a quite guy, if it was for him he probably stay alone.
This post most likely will be almost nothing about Zombies, all this spin off that are coming up have nothing to do with it,
Isabelle was in Paris the moment that everything went down, seems that her thing was to go out, get men to buy her drinks, drugs in the back she was taking from the what ever else she can take from them, wallets, watches, money, anything she could get her hands on that had value.
When the world went up side down Isabelle was living with her sister, little sister Lily, not only that they are running away with who I assume is Isabelle friend/boyfriend? this was not detail but he seems to like Isabelle, his name was Quinn; Lily was pregnant had seven months and no body knew anything about it they both Isabelle and Quinn find out about it at a gas station where they stop, Lily was feeling sick. Quinn immediately thought of Lily as a liability, he told Isabelle there is no room for babies where we going and this was a big NO NO for her it was her sister after all so in a good old Isabelle fashion Quinn was just another men she tricked, took the keys of the car from him as she gives him a hug and ran away with Lily.
Lily was hurting all along, it was the baby, something was wrong so they kept going looking for help, a hospital, doctor, who ever can help her until they stop to an ambulance that was parked on the side of the road but it was a pack of zombies already, they got too close and one of the zombies got Lily, not badly to the point she was bleeding but enough to get her infected. Different than the zombie that got Daryl this was a direct bite, Daryl got burn by one of the acid/burner zombies, I guess he didn’t turn because the nuns burn his wound on time before the virus spread.
As in most stories the mother died at giving birth during this hard circumstances, Isabelles is facing a part of life that she never thought of, not only her sister Lily dies but now she turns into a Zombie, now she also has to take care of her nephew in a more than ever dangerous world, they had not place to go so it makes sense for them to stay at the convent, we are still yet to know from where did the entire story of Laurent been the savior of Earth came from.
Worst part for Laurent is that he is growing up without knowing where he came from, who are his parents, for sure he will never know who his father is, I don’t think Lily and Isabelle had enough time to have that conversation and I’m also sure Isabelle have never told Laurent she is her aunt, everybody else in the convent probably knew the truth except him, and some of the youngest or newer nuns even believe he is the savior, Isabelle might have other personal reasons to go back to Paris but not because she thinks Laurent will save them all.
As you can tell episode two of Daryl Dixon had nothing to do with him and I think that’s fine, it’s very important to know the background and details of the main characters, Laurent and Isabelle are two of them, basically its them and Daryl those are the stories we really need to know, there will be other small side stories but for now it was necessary to know from where they come from and who they were before this all started, before they met Daryl and why is it so important for them to get to Paris, we already know that Laurent has no clue of what is going on and knows nothing about the world only math and literature, rather than that the kid doesn’t know how savage and ruthless life can be specially on the environment he is growing up, on episode two there was more than the story of Isabelle but I think they made up the rest of the episode to push the narrative of who was Isabelle and Laurent and from where they come from, I think this because on their way to Paris they were caught by a tribe of kids that were left behind in a school but survive this kicks in Isabelle flash backs of where she was when everything started and how Laurent came to her life. Good episode, I give it a 7/10.
