'The Walking Dead' premiered its 10x19 episode entitled "One more". Here we review everything that happened in this adventure of Aaron and Gabriel.
Once again we return to Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse adapted by AMC in this long-running series. This new episode of The Walking Dead follows in the footsteps of Aaron and Gabriel, presenting us with a great episode, although, in the full picture, it looks more like a bet on the patience of the followers of this production.
Here we will review everything that happened in episode 10 × 18, called "One more." Of course, we remind you that if you are not up to date, do not continue reading
As in the previous chapter, the AMC show entertains itself in the landscape and focuses on the story of two companions. In the 10 × 18 in Carol and Good Dayl, revealing a never-before-told story of this character. In the new episode, we see Aaron and Gabriel, who are on an excursion looking for groceries.
While it is true that "One More" is a great chapter, it is also true that as viewers of The Walking Dead we will wonder if it is really time to stop for so long on a single story, with so many things to solve. And is that the extended season promised, at least, more action and more to look forward to. But no, those in charge of the series choose to stop in an adventure, in this self-concluding story of Aaron and Gabriel. Of course, the way it is told and the moral and philosophical background of this new episode of The Walking Dead is surprising and profound.
A special guest on 'The Walking Dead'
We know well that in every series there are transitional chapters and that on many occasions those episodes, although lacking in action or intense twists in the plot, deepen the story and the characters. It's just what happens in "One More", the recent episode of The Walking Dead. What happens with Aaron and Gabriel is the sample of a broken and the cracked world, but also the sense that these two characters have so different to see for their families and their community. This point is repeated and repeated as a kind of leitmotif present at each moment of the episode.
Thus, we realize that these two characters have been away for two weeks in search of food and items that serve the community that is trying, once again, to rise from their ashes. "One more," Gabriel asks, that is, go explore one more point on the map Maggie gave them. However, what they find are walkers and places looted, burned and more walkers.
"One more," Gabriel keeps repeating. He doesn't want to go back to Alexandria empty-handed. Aaron does want to continue but misses his daughter, although he gives in anyway and moves on. It is then that they arrive at a place where they find a wild boar. Aaron kills him and they cook him. They find a bottle and get drunk, however, their party and abundance end badly when they find a character: Mays, played by the unforgettable Terminator T-1000: Robert Patrick.
Family is the most important
Mays puts Aaron and Gabriel against a rock and a hard place. He tells them that he doesn't believe in people, or kindness, or family. He tells how his brother betrayed him and forces them to play Russian roulette with a gun. Here, at the height of this episode of The Walking Dead, he takes us to the abyss, to the empty or full compartment, to life and death in a single movement. Although it suddenly seems a somewhat contrived scene, the truth is that the characters have no alternative: Aaron and Gabriel stick to their luck.
Gabriel the ruthless
They both tell Mays that there is no way they will shoot their friend, but he doesn't believe it. Little by little, and although Aaron almost says goodbye to the world, Mays is convinced that he is facing the possibility of living in a different way. When he lets go of Aaron and starts to drop his guard, it's Gabriel who kills him with Aaron's metal arm.
This death is somewhat shocking because we do think that he could join the community and see that there are many ways to experience the apocalypse. However, it is Gabriel, a complex character, and who luckily has changed over time, who no longer gives bullies more opportunities. And so he expresses it when Aaron stares at him with Mays's body at his feet.
Although we are lamenting Gabriel's coldness, Aaron soon discovers that the man knew all the details that they discussed during his drunkenness, so there should be a hidden place from which he spied on them. So they find an attic where there is a chained man and the skeletal remains of a woman and a girl on an old mattress. Gabriel frees the man and he takes the weapon from him, but not to attack them, but to kill himself.
This is how they realize that Mays told a twisted story, as Gabriel discovers a family photo showing a pair of twins. Unraveling the history of this family that reached the end is up to the public.
Aaron and Gabriel continue their search but now it is Aaron who wants to go explore "one more".
Towards the end of season 10 of 'The Walking Dead'
We'll see if the next episode brings us back to the action we want to see. The next episode is titled "Splinter" and finally promises to tell us who are the strange characters we saw towards the partial closure of season 10 of The Walking Dead, those who captured Eugene, Ezekiel, Yumiko, and Princess.
After this chapter, there will be two more episodes to put the final closure of this season 10.
