This is the 11th episode of ReMade, a 15-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode was written by E.C. Myers.
In hopes of finding civilization, people, answers, the group journeys to the city whose lights they’ve been able to see from miles away. But group dynamics can be just as hard to navigate as a new city – especially when death and dragons are involved.
ReMade Season One: In one moment the lives of twenty-three teenagers are forever changed, and it’s not just because they all happen to die. “ReMade” in a world they barely recognize – one with robots, space elevators, and unchecked jungle – they must work together to survive. They came from different places, backgrounds, and families, and now they might be the last people on earth. Lost meets The Maze Runner in this exciting serial adventure.
Or, you can read my review of Episode 1, Shadows and Dreams, written by Matthew Cody here, Episode two, Hungry by Andrea Philips here, Episode Three, Home, Perilious Home here, Episode 4, The Most Dangerous Game here Episode 5, Umta here, Episode 6, Reality No-Show here, Episode 7, Mourning Train here, Episode 8, End Of The Line here Episode 9, Whiteout here and Episode 10, Mirror Of Fate here.We're Dead In This Ghost Town. That title itself gave me shivers, thinking of all the dangers the new town the group was going to explore might hold.
Truth be told, while nothing BAD happened, this was one of the most entertaining episodes I've read, and I loved it. Also, there was a Game of Thrones reference and EEEEK. If I died without finishing the show, I'd probably be sad too.
This episode is all about the city that May discovered a two episodes ago, one with ACTUAL modern structures and lights (so by assumption, electricity) that the team (do they have a name?) has finally decided to explore. Told from Loki's viewpoint, who I didn't really like in the last episode, We're Dead In This Ghost Town is fun, filled with bonding, jokes and cool technology and I WANT MORE.
If you remember from Episode 4, I didn't quite like Loki, or his story, but now, in Episode 11, I finally managed to connect with him as we learn the second part of his story. (HEARTBREAKING, by the way)
While I finally started liking Loki, what I liked more about this episode was the friendship that was forged between Loki and Holden, out very first narrator. As the talk about their mistakes, how they got to this nowhere place they're at, and bond over the cool tech and DRAGONS (ACK. #DragonLove) they find this sort of rhythm that I loved.
I loved it, I can't wait for more. 4.5 stars.
