The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Trust counts for something
By Liam O'Leary
If you don’t got trust in a world of the walking dead…you don’t got anything.
Man, there was a lot of lying going on in the season finale doubleheader of The Walking Dead: World Beyond. If it wasn’t Hope leaving out the little detail of how important Iris was to the genius the Civic Republic sought to exploit, it was Dr. Belshaw not telling Leo about Hope or Dr. Abbott, or it was everything involving Lieutenant Colonel Kublek brushing over the whole “I destroyed Campus Colony”-thing when Huck started asking her about it. Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
That got me thinking about just how important actually having trust and honesty is in a zombie apocalypse, and how bad things can be when you don’t have them.
So, I thought that, this week, I’d tackle this issue, using a few examples from the final two episodes of this season of World Beyond to illustrate my point.
Hopefully, by the time we’re done here, you come to learn just how important knowing the truth and having honest people around you in the apocalypse can truly be.
