An exhausted hero alone. A warehouse full of walkers! An injury, a narrow escape. Strangers! Tentative alliance! Treachery! Worse injury, unconsciousness. A silent observer setting up a plotline for later episodes. The hero waking up in a place of sanctuary so we can all catch our breaths for a moment. A true alliance formed. A quest begins.
Does it matter that I could have written this before watching the first episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon just as easily as I did after it? No, it does not. For that is the beauty and the asininity of the Walking Dead franchise. The Dixon spin-off is the latest to arrive on these shores, though it was one of the earlier ones to be produced, thanks to Daryl (Norman Reedus) being such a favourite with the fans, and has been out in the US for more than a year.
