I believe this new format of six episode season for spinoff series can't build up enough momentum for itself with the short amount of episodes, a lot can happen in one hour with the magic of TV, adding two or if possible four episodes more then gives the story enough time for one last kick, on Daryl Dixon spinoff the series is going to fall short and viewers will have to wait until season two to really find out why he left home and now is trying to get back to Carol, we now know how he got to France but not what exactly he was looking for.
Not much is reveal about the Nest, the place where Azlan and Daryl are taking Laurent, from his description all been said is that its a quite place, peaceful and might be an island from a watch Azlan carry with the Nest engrave, the name Nest most like was given after the Zombie Apocalypse, living in an island is one of the most reasonable places to be at during such times as long as you have a way to go in and out of the island, after all Zombies can't swim, but I wonder if they float?? on this very same series we saw a Daryl been attack by Zombies under water.
I took this screenshot above mainly because it reminds me of the original Walking Dead series, how many times we didn't see Daryl pushing a bike with his cross bow on it, such a classic it made its way to his spinoff, he cross path with Jones a man who has a camp, looking for hunters who want to work, Daryl is out of gas so makes sense if he gets paid to buy some and get back home.
At the camp there were others wanting to work with Jones, the man behind this camp, paying everyone was Dr. Lafleur, who was paying very well for Zombies, even more for fresh ones but that open, rules were simple
- No fights
- No stealing
- Nothing sexual
Daryl got to work and start impressing other with his skills, if he was getting paid for catching Zombies I guess he was going to pull a Raikkonen, for F1 fans; and make the company go broke with the amount of Zombies he was getting, one after another, the part is that he works alone meaning he doesnt have to share his profits with anyone while the rest does.
Daryls always mind his own business but does not share or promote abuse, there was a guy a the camp who knew shit how to hunt, wanting to join others to team up but no body wanted him so what they do? there was this guy Juno, white beard with red hat; motherfucker killed the kid and sold him as a Zombie, Daryl got into a fight over it because the guy even had rope marks around his neck so he was killed, Jones didn't seem to care it was still a Zombie and they were all getting paid so both Juno and Daryls gets kick out the moment the fight starts....to be continue
On another subject, our boy Quinn was living like a fucking king, a lot of people die and a lot of people left Paris, a wealthy city with a lot of opportunities for those brave enough who stay and we willing to take it, that was Quinn, he got everything, the mansion, the luxury, wine, paintings, servants, everything anyone could dream off, he also had his Queen, Anna; until after many years destiny brought him back Isabelle, the women he was dating before the Zombie apocalypse who left him behind to safe her sister that had Quinn's son on the way, Laurent, that's a Mexican tv novel right there.
Poor Quinn flew too close to the sun and is about to get burn, never ever mistreat a women specially when she got enough dirt on you, not that you have but specially not under certain circumstances, in the case of Quinn, Anna knew everything about him, his business, deals with Genet, enemies. On top of that Isabelle only got with him until she make sure Laurent and Daryl got out of town safe, when that happen she was about to kill Quinn but her dark days were over, she might not be a hard core nun but she was no murder, she could not do it.
On the other hand Anna did throw Quinn into the lions den, the moment she had a chance fuck him up badly, Quinn was invited to an event at Genet base but when he and Isabelle arrive Genet already know all the lies Quinn told her about Laurent and Daryl.
This duo, oh since the day they met at the convent, Daryl constantly gets piss off at Laurent, mainly because he is so naive and that is Isabelle fault, this time he did one of the most stupid things and that's letting go the boat because he didn't want Daryl to leave him, Isabelle fault again for not raising him to be a men and not just a kid in a bubble, they had no other option than walk, to make things worst that night their camp got attacked by a few Zombies that killed Azlan.
So predictable, the moment they start walking a patrol was passing by, Daryl gave the watch with the engrave of the Nest to Laurent and told him to go away, he will take care of them but he didn't and gets caught too, you can tell how piss Daryl was when he notice Laurent got caught too, he sacrifice himself for nothing.
They both get transfer to Genet place where she is hosting and event, a display of her new warriors, her plan with Laurent is to make people in France believe Laurent is on her side since he got so popular.
I got now clew when the memo that said "If you fight we send you to the Zombie ship" got pass around, out of no where Daryl and Juno get send to the boat they were putting all the Zombies, the ship was also a lab so it seems they travel the world by sea, during this time they make experiments and kept getting Zombies from the never ending supply.
This is the reason why Genet wants Daryl dead, he was the one who got out and fucked up everything, he trick the guards to get out, kill a few of them, in the process a container got on fire, this container was a mobile lab, creating a big explosion that fucked up big part of the boat and all the progress to the drain.
This series is getting better but now I only have one episode left to watch, my only concern about long series episodes, those that are close to one hour is that there is a fucking tone of scenes I like to screenshot because they give sense to the story, leaving me with over 30 screenshots every time I make a post like this, the editing process takes me about two hours plus another hour writing the text, still this is my hobby that now I have found a way to monetize thanks to Hive.
