Huck (Annet Mahendru) suggests that she could keep going with the girls while Felix heads for home with the guys, but that doesn\u2019t pan out, either. The group\u2019s sticking together, for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>And for the vast majority of the episode, it&#8217;s for worse. They get to the riverbank and find most of the boats have been decimated, so they have to scrounge for parts at a nearby factory to get what they need to repair one of them. Even then, they can\u2019t get the engine working right; in order to get enough power, they have to add firepower, which, in theory, means dumping in gallons of nail polish (hey, whatever works!).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creative_Problem_Solving\"><\/span>Creative Problem Solving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Everyone separates to solve separate problems\u2014Elton and Silas (Hal Cumpston) go after the nail polish, Iris and Felix check out a nearby restaurant for supplies, and Hope and Huck have an emotional chat about her past, during which she starts shifting over to the teens\u2019 side. Felix gets an emotional moment, too, when he tells Iris that he was supposed to go with their dad to the CRM headquarters rather than his boyfriend\u2026 and that\u2019s why he\u2019s so convinced they\u2019re both okay. \u201cThey have to be,\u201d he says, and it\u2019s clear he won\u2019t consider an option where they\u2019re <em>not<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The storm gets closer and closer, and a light pole falls on the restaurant Iris and Felix were <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching, releasing a mid-sized horde of walkers. Rick and crew wouldn\u2019t have had an issue taking them out, but this is not Rick and crew, so everyone freaks out. Felix manages to hold the dead off for a bit by tying fishing wire around a few trees, but of course, some of the walkers get around the wire and head for the group on the riverbank. The nail polish trick worked, but the fan belt for the boat is off track, which means someone has to crawl in and fix it\u2026 and the only person small enough is Elton.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-955151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"nicolas cantu elton world beyond\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-elton.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elton_is_Not_Afraid\"><\/span>Elton is Not Afraid!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Problem is, Elton\u2019s claustrophobic, and in this episode, we learn why. On \u201cthe night the sky fell,\u201d as everyone on <em>World Beyond<\/em> calls it, his family was at the museum where they worked. His mom left before it all went bad, and then his dad left, too, but not before making sure Elton was secure in a tiny box (which sounds mildly irresponsible, but he really did the best he could). From that box, Elton could hear the snarling of the dead outside the room, as well as the explosions of people clearing the place. He eventually got out and followed a map, presumably to the Campus Colony.<\/p>\n<p>In the present, Elton conquers his claustrophobia and gets the boat working, and then, with moments to spare, they manage to push the boat into the river and leave behind all the walkers\u00a0 heading for them. They make it to the other side, where Huck peaces out to go gather intel about the terrain (apparently they don\u2019t know much about the other side). Elton goes off by himself and gets emotional about his parents and his unborn sister, and when Hope comes to check on him, they have a sweet conversation that turns a little sour when she realizes just who he\u2019s talking about\u2014his mom is the woman she killed, who killed her mom. Small post-apocalyptic world! She looks horrified, but Elton, lost in his memories, doesn\u2019t notice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Madman_Across_The_River%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Madman Across The River\u2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the episode ends, noises are heard outside their camp. Felix tells them it\u2019s an empty, but it\u2019s very much not an empty; it looks to be another person around the teens\u2019 age (this scene is extremely dark, so he also very well might not be around their age). If the title of this installment is any indication, this guy\u2019s not all there\u2014and he\u2019s probably not friendly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-955152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"felix hope world beyond nico totorella alexa mansour\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walking-dead-world-beyond-105-hope-felix.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Observations\"><\/span>Other Observations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This was at least slightly better than the previous week\u2019s episode. I\u2019m curious to see how things will play out among Elton, Hope and Iris given their\u2026 less-than-ideal history.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes, though, there are still moments where this show baffles me. When all the walkers were tied up with the fishing wire, why didn\u2019t Felix just start killing them? Most of them couldn\u2019t get to him, and we\u2019ve seen similar tricks work on <em>TWD<\/em> (i.e. killing the walkers through holes in the fence). Also, Hope and Iris just launching themselves at the walkers was funny, and I&#8217;m not sure it was intended to be.<\/li>\n<li>Did everyone just forget about Silas beating the crap out of a walker at the end of last week\u2019s episode? Does that not <em>worry<\/em> any of the other kids? I get the adults treating him normally because they&#8217;d want to de-escalate the situation, but shouldn\u2019t Elton or Hope be a little leery of him? Elton especially, considering Silas\u2019 fit of rage left him injured.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m worried Felix just guaranteed his death by saying his boyfriend and the girls\u2019 dad has to be okay, because of how guilty he\u2019d feel if they weren\u2019t. Now I\u2019m thinking Felix either doesn\u2019t make it through the season to see if they\u2019re okay, or he does find them, and then he dies. That speech was just too ominous.<\/li>\n<li>I would love if this show stopped doing pretentious voiceovers and committed to showing, rather than telling. Also, why was this episode titled, \u201cMadman Across The River\u201d if we only saw the madman for, like, five seconds?<\/li>\n<li>Anybody else reminded of <em>The 100<\/em>\u2019s Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) when Elton started reciting the planets as he crawled through that tight space? \u201cI am not afraid! I am not afraid!\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Rating: 2.5\/5<\/em><\/strong>. This was infinitely more watchable than last week\u2019s episode, and I\u2019m looking forward to the drama that will undoubtedly unfold with Elton, Hope and Iris. But there\u2019s still no new info on CRM and very little to make these characters likable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>The Walking Dead: World Beyond<\/em>, Sundays, 10\/9c, AMC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/955142\/the-walking-dead-world-beyond-recap-season-1-episode-5-madman-across-the-river\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#&#8217;The Walking Dead: World Beyond&#8217;: Just Around the Riverbend (RECAP)&#8221; [WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for The Walking Dead: World Beyond Season 1 Episode 5, \u201cMadman Across The River.\u201d] Despite the promising title, this episode has very little to do with post-apocalyptic madmen on the opposite side of a body of water.
