Hello guys! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! Hope 2015 is a good one. Carrying on with The Walking Dead Season 5 - here is the review for episode two titled Strangers I hope you like it and please comment and share. The Walking Dead - Season 5 Episode 2 - Strangers Episode 2: Strangers After the spectacular season premiere for this season, I was excited to see what the rest of the season had in store for the audience and it didnt disappoint. After Terminus, the group are reunited and are as one but which location were they headed to next? This episode was very dark yet creative due to the different situations that occurred for the characters. We are welcomed into a new narrative, along with new characters and new dangers for Rick and the group. In this episode, the group meet Father Gabriel, a sinner, and they find refuge in his church but as they find a comfortable fortification, people go missing and new enemies start to emerge. The key scene for me was the ending of this episode as it stuck very close and precise to the comic books. We find out, as Bob goes missing that hes been bitten when they went on a supply run. However, this being bad news for Bob, we find out that Gareth from Terminus and some other stray people had survived the fall of their camp and had evolved into Hunters. I became very excited when I heard these words spoken by Gareth as the introduction of villains from the comics appeared with a new twist. This show took a different turn again as it became dark with the aspect of cannibals being placed into the narrative. I did start to feel nervous for Bob when I found out that his leg had been cut off and was being eaten in front of him as it showed the sinister part of Gareths group and that the audience didnt know what was in store for the rest of Ricks group. All in all, this scene was fantastically acted and written which made me feel somewhat scared of this show. Even though so many characters had spotlight moments in this episode, I was mostly interested in Father Gabriel as he was introduced in this episode. When we first meet him, he was being attacked by walkers and was saved by the group. However, what was interesting is how he had survived this long if he cant kill walkers due to his cowardliness and beliefs. Something was being hidden by this character as he was shy, scared but somewhat full of regret from his body language. Also, Gabriel being a character in the comic books, I was excited about the shows adaptation of him as well as the actor playing him who did it very well in my opinion. I look forward to seeing more depth from this character as the series goes on. The cinematography was very flowing throughout the episode as it constantly followed the groups movements as well as a certain shot placed to capture the scene. I loved the tracking shot used to follow them through the wooded area as it showed them open to different dangers such as walkers or even people. The use of close up shots used were very well done to represent facial expressions of certain characters, it showed individuals talking to one another as the group was moving with their own little section such as Abraham and Rick along with Sasha and Bob and it stuck out to me as clever cinematography, made it more enjoyable to watch as an episode. Overall, this episode was a good one to follow the premiere that the audience are still recovering from. The characters that were introduced to us in this episode were secretive, vengeful and dark in terms of personalities which is associated with Gareths group. The different camera shots used to construct the episode were great to watch as they looked professional and inventive with aspects of uniqueness, an each to their own feature for each episode which is what I like as its always showing something new. I look forward to how this situation is going to be handled with, will Ricks group battle Gareths group? If so, who will come out on top? I look forward to finding out. The one criticism I have is that I think they should have captured a different person for the ending scene but apart from that, a great episode.
