Hershel allows the Group to set up camp at his farm, so they have a central location from which to search for Sophia and to allow Carl to heal, at the cost of surrendering their guns, much to Andrea’s chagrin. With Rick weak from blood donation and Shane nursing a bad ankle, Daryl decides to search on his own and comes across an abandoned house that looks as though Sophia took refuge in, but does not find the girl. Glenn accompanies Maggie into town to gather supplies at the local pharmacy, and to pick up a extra special item for Lori. The two make a connection and end up having sex in the abandoned store.

Episode Title: Don’t Look Back
Original Airdate: 10-2-06
More than the pilot episode, re-watching this second episode of the series really helped solidify what it was about this show that really helped make it resonate with me and likely with many of its other viewers. It certainly had an air of mystery to it and compelling characters, but there was something more to it than that. There was an air of deep mythology associated within itself, something that it was able to develop a shorthand for within the span of just two episodes it made if feel like there was a much deeper world to this show and we were only getting to see a brief glimpse into what was a very deep pool. This episode introduced the concept of what was internally referred to as the helix, and it was something that I don’t remember much about from my first viewing, but this time I definitely noticed it pop up in a few places and caught myself looking more closely for it everywhere once I saw it.

When I was a kid, I was pretty loyal to one network when it came to my Saturday morning cartoon viewing habits. I always watched ABC. They had Scooby-Doo, The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Captain Caveman, Laff-a-lympics and other favorites of mine. On the superhero front they were the home of the Superfriends. But starting in 1979, ABC was also home to one of the most unusual superheroes. The one and only Plastic Man. Continue reading Saturday Morning Memories: Plastic Man
