Featured reviews
Isabelle recalls the havoc on the day of the apocalypse zombie in Paris, when she was a party girl and thief. Her friend Quinn rescues her and gives a ride to her pregnant sister Lily. He wants to go to the house of a friend of his outside Paris, but Lily needs medical attention and Isabelle steals his car to flee with Lily. Daryl, Isabelle, Laurent and Sylvie ride a mule wagon through the street of a village when a herd of walkers arrive. Daryl releases the mule, and the walkers chase her, while they escape with their goods. However, they are attacked and captured by a gang of youngsters that bring them to a former school. They learn that they were students and Isabelle tells them that they are religious people and Daryl is a priest, and they are released. Daryl wants to know who has a mule, and the leader of the kids, Lou, tells him that the owner of a nearby castle has. However, he is an evil man and they do not approach to him. Daryl lies to her and tells that the woman who raised them, the old Madame Dubois who is near-death on the bed, need medicine and they may bring it from the castle. Lou goes with Daryl to the castle, where he finds who the owner is.
'Alouette" is an episode of "The Walking Dead" spin-off "Daryl Dixon", with the origin of Laurent explained through flashbacks. The past life of Isabelle is also shown in the show, where she was a thief. The action of the show is good, with Daryl resolving the situation, but the conclusion is unreasonable since the kids remain in the former school. Why not move to the protected castle that was abandoned with provisions and medicine after the death of his owner? My vote is eight.

Let me start by saying I've been a die hard fan of TWD since 31/10/2010 when the first episode aired on TV.
I've just created an IMBD account to ask just one question.
Why didn't the kids move into the castle with its unbelievable stockpile of food medicine, armaments, battlements, drawbridge, moat full of zombies and it's miles wide view over the surrounding countryside ???
It just doesn't make any sense and it is really bugging me how the simple basic things are being ignored even though they are blindingly obvious.
I don't really have anything else to contribute but I have to use up the required amount of character so that I can post this review.
Again WHY not move into the castle ???

1. The French singing Alouette.
2. It's true that Mork and Mindy WAS popular in France back in the day, but it's been over 40 years, for Pete's sake.
3. "I'm an American!" Does this need any explanation?
I mean, I'm not disliking the show, but the redneck hero in France just seems in the wrong place. What made Daryl Dixon so important that he was kidnapped and sent all the way to France anyway? There better be a darn good reason or explanation for this.
Maybe they should've created this new series with new characters. I'm thinking like an ex-pat in France that got stuck there. They could've created an entirely new backstory. Just saying...

The second episode of a new (or spinoff) series is almost more important than the first. There are answers to provide (or hint at), characters to introduce, villains to encounter and the BIG MISSION to introduce if it hasn't been already in the first episode.
Norman Reedus does a very good job of adding another layer to a character he's embodied for over a decade. Because his muse (Carol) is not present, he has to carry more of the dialogue freight. It's good to see that he's more than ready for his starring role.
The backstory fill in on why/how he ended up in that boat carried lots of interesting potential storylines and the possible BIG BAD.
The secondary characters still need more depth, but the episode guest stars provided welcome texture and interest. The nun and the troublesome charge they're shepherding are still two dimensional. I'm hoping the girl's difficult nature isn't used as a means of putting the whole group in danger. We saw enough of that trope in the original TWD.
The new scenery, culture and social backdrop is a breath of fresh air.
So far, I'm looking forward to next week.

Daryl is like the Mad Max, a man that tries to mind his business, but no what he does or where he is, he ends up in a situation where he is the only one who can help and he can't say no.
This show more and more mimics the Last of Us. Bad thing? Maybe in terms of originality. Very plain and simple nemesis that will chase them throughout the season until someone he cares about is hurt and he kills the bad guy. Sorry spoilers....
In this episode we saw some comedy and white lies that protect to avoid someone being hurt, which will the theme for the next 2 episodes for sure. Good filler part with the backstory of the nun, a lot more to be explained, but good so far.
And lastly, if the writers keep hitting Daryl's head he won't be able to continue his road to America on Season 3.

- Quotes
Daryl Dixon: [Daryl saying grace as Father Daryl] Lord, I'm sure you have your reasons for turning the whole world upside down. Maybe we deserve it for being so mean to each other. We probably do deserve it, but not tonight. No. Tonight is good. And if this isn't good enough for you, I don't know what is. Amen
