Welcome to The Watching Dead, the official

podcast for all of The Walking Dead. I'm Jim. I'm Aaron. We put the Ick in

Darryl Dixon. Aaron, we're here for episode two of season one called Alouette.

At least that's how I've always pronounced it based on the song that they taught us in

grade school. What do you think of this episode? Man, we're just never going to get that

zombie baby for you, Jim. I don't get it. They keep on teasing it.

Like I was somewhat shocked to see a living baby pulled from a zombie mother this

episode. I don't know this episode. It's like the first time I watched it, I'm like,

gosh, this is kind of like dull and like I really liked the flashback stuff to

what's your name Isabel Isabel and her sister. And I found that like I wasn't

really into the kid, the little kid surviving in the preschool storyline.

But on second time I watched it, like I felt like everything just reinforces

though the one or the other, you know, the they're playing deception and being

lied to by people that you trust. There's like multiple reveals of people

who have been telling the truth or fibbing or shining people on.

I continue to like Laurent even though he's like, you know, even a

weirder home school kid this episode. And I, you know, I don't know.

It's it's pretty ham-fisted social commentary. The walking deads engaged in towards

the end of this episode. But I can see like them wanting to, you know,

contrast Darrell Dixon who've always been kind of shown as, you know, he's a

man of the, he's a man of the earth. He likes his rural living.
