Episode 510, “Them,” was one of the more bleak installments of Season 5 of AMC’s The Walking Dead where Rick and the small group of remaining survivors are more desperate than ever as they run low on energy and even lower on supplies on their long track on-foot north to Washington, D.C. Their hope is that something will be at our nation’s capital that will help them. They just need to stay alive to reach their destination.

At the end of Episode 510, a new character was introduced — Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Where did he come from? Why does he seem in better shape than Rick’s group? What are his intentions? AMC has released a sneak peek of the next episode, Episode 511 “The Distance,” in a teaser promo, as well as a clip where Rick interrogates the new guy.

This week’s edition of The Digital Wire is a tad on the slim side and for that I blame that 50 Shades of Grey mania that has gripped the nation harder than…..never mind. There’s also heavy snowfall in some areas and that usually slows the march of progress down. Okay, enough of the blame game.
