Vatos

Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, and glenn encounter this group of men called the vatos who may now be as they first seem.

In Atlanta, Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog find only Merle's hand on the rooftop, and they follow the blood stain trying o find Merle. They decide to retrieve the bag with weapons and ammunition and they face a hostile Latino gang of survivors that abducts Glenn. But they capture one gangster and propose to trade him per Glenn. However, the leader Guillermo also wants the weapons and ammunition in the deal. Meanwhile, Jim is disturbed in the camp and tells that he has had a prophetic dream with the walkers.

"Vatos" is a uneven episode of "The Walking Dead". The initial tension between Rick, Daryl and T-Dog with the Latino gang led by Guillermo has a disappointing resolution with the intervention of an old lady. However, the surprising attack of the zombies to the camp makes this episode worthwhile. I guess if Merle has not brought these walkers to revenge the campers for leaving him in Atlanta. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Vatos" (1.4)

Note: On 08 April 2016 I saw this show again.

After the last episode spending most of it's time character building this weeks "The Walking Dead" ups the ante and goes all "Game Of Thrones" on us, with a few central characters biting the dust. Some will be missed and some won't.

As Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog continue to look for Merle they run into trouble, as tensions grow back at camp.

The acting in this episode again is top notch, with the exception of Sarah Wayne Callies, I think everyone in this show is superb. Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun and Jon Bernthall are all excellent and Jeffrey DeMunn's Dale gets a nice scene talking about time, and again his humanity shines through. Finally Jim gets some serious screen time and Andrew Rothenburg does not disappoint.

Judging by the first season, the Walking Dead seems like it's not only going to be a entertaining zombie series, but it's going to have an emotional core. This episode, the fourth in Season 1, is one of the better episodes since the pilot. There is some good characterization scenes and towards the end, there is plenty of zombie violence which may result in a few surprises.

This episode, "Vatos" has Rick and few of the other guys encountering a group of hostile survivors while searching for Merle. Meanwhile back at camp, Jim begins to dig holes despite the fact no one seems to know why.

Overall, this is a very good episode. It has plenty of emotional moments especially during the latter half. The story, score, characters, and the such continues to improve with each passing episode. I feel like this show will only get better and this episode proves why. I rate this episode 9/10.

This episode has it all!! Great acting, directing, writing, drama and music! One of my favorite episodes of the season tbh.
