“Your world’s about to get a whole lot bigger.”
For five-plus seasons of “The Walking Dead,” the story of the Grimes clan has been a desperate, moveable feast. A camp outside Atlanta, the CDC, Hershel’s farm, the former West Georgia Correctional Facility, Terminus (for about three minutes), St. Sarah’s Episcopal Church, Alexandria. The pattern has almost reached the point of self-satire; certainly some of the more nit-pickier fans have complained about the move, rest, move again storylines.
Through all of that, though, there hasn’t been anything resembling civilization as we once knew it. On tonight’s episode, “Knots Untie,” the first hints are dropped that mankind is truly rebuilding society from the ashes of the zombie apocalypse.
We are still learning about Paul Rovio, the man whose friends used to call him Jesus (he does kind of look like Jesus; at least, Malibu Jesus, or maybe Buddy Christ. We’re thinking we’ll go with Hilltop Jesus.) Sitting in Rick’s living room, with half a dozen guns and a katana sword pointed at him, he coolly explains how easily he escaped condo jail and made it to Rick’s place. He also apparently completely cased the joint. He understands exactly where they’re strong, and where they’re weak.
He’s from a place called the Hilltop, he explains, and was out in the wild performing the kind of people-finding task Aaron was when he first found the Grimes clan. Only, Hilltop Jesus was looking for more communities, communities with which his community could trade. Yes, Maggie Greene-Rhee, communities. Plural.
