The Walking Dead S1 E4 - 6 | Rewind & Analyze

Steven and Régine are back with Rewind & Analyze, covering episodes 4 through 6 of The Walking Dead Season 1—and we're getting into the meat of what makes this show iconic.

We're breaking down Episode 4: "Vatos," where Rick's group encounters another group of survivors in the city and the camp gets attacked. We discuss character reactions, actor highlights, and the themes of clinging to past lives even when the world has ended. Then there's the Last Supper moment at the camp, the elderly care facility twist, and Rick's shootout that signals a major character change.

Episode 5: "Wildfire" brings loss, tough decision-making, and the group's journey to the CDC. We're unpacking the family split, leadership struggles between Rick and Shane, and Jim's tragic foreshadowing that hits harder on rewatch.

Then we close out Season 1 with Episode 6: the CDC episode. The self-destruct sequence, the group's escape, and Shane's increasingly unhinged actions that set the stage for everything that follows. We discuss Shane's descent, his morality (or lack thereof), and the key scenes that define his character arc.

We wrap it all up with our reflections on Season 1 as a whole and our final ratings. This season laid the foundation for what The Walking Dead would become—for better and for worse.
