This is the tenth episode of the fifth season of the Walking Dead. I am quite surprised at the lackluster opinion of this episode. I found it to be a powerful episode exploring heavy themes such as grief and there even seemed to be a religious overtone to the episode. The speech Rick gave about his grandfather serving in the war was quite a powerful speech. I also liked the ending as we are about to meet some new people.
In this episode, "Them," the group has settled on hopeless times as they venture north to Washington D.C. They are still affected from the recent deaths of Beth and Tyrese, especially Sasha, Maggie, and Daryl. But they are struggling to find water and food, but however there may be relief in the form of a divine thunderstorm and a "friend."
Overall, I found this episode to be a very strong episode that shows the group at their most hopeless and that they need each other to survive. Other than Rick's speech, I also loved the thunderstorm and the walkers as it gave off a horror feel. The ending intrigued me and I am definitely looking forward to what happens next.
My Grade: A-
