Dissapinting episode to be sure. I can't even really muster up any real positive points about it. I guess the tractor running over the car was kinda neat in a hold my beer NASCAR kinda way.

Even Forbes Magazine felt need to weigh in on it, which seems way out of their element. But hey they are allowed to like a tv show too of course.

Forbes Welcome

Erik Kain is the only reviewer that I consistently follow for GOT, TWD and Westworld (and any other TV review). He is my favorite reviewer, meaning he doesn't suck as much as the rest. With that being said I think he was having a bad night, or like me, compared to Westworld, TWD is pretty scarce on substance and depth..

His GOT reviews are usually pretty good.

So I caught the episode last night...meh. They need to start picking up the pace and start making moves. That WHOLE episode was to say "Hey were gonna stay here, and you cant do anything. Oh btw shift of power". Did we need a full episode for that small plot point? Yea yea yea, okay there was also the childhood romance story. So that should've filled another 10min (or none at all in my opinion). All in all that episode shouldve taken us 20-25min...

This is what I think the show is struggling with right now. I think I've mentioned it before, but the story telling needs be more like Game of Thrones. They take several plot points that only require 10-15 minutes to tell and combine them into one episode. Since everyone is split up in that show as well, it helps move the bulk of the story forward each week.

The Walking Dead writers insist on focusing solely on one part of the separated group each week, dragging out plot points longer than they need to and leaving the rest of the characters' story arcs stagnant.

I wish they would use the fact that Alexandria is not far from DC, and the rest of the compounds would be within 20 miles or so. An episode of going to DC and full of zombies on the monuments or in the subway would be great.

Yeah, getting to see some urban mayhem is one hope I still have for Fear the Walking Dead. They've already gone from LA to Mexico, and they're headed back towards California.

I understand the logical reason for staying away from heavily populated areas, but it could make for some really cool episodes.

Plus they never have winter. It's either spring or summer.

Boring episode about Tara....

I think my expectations are finally starting to level out after the premier. This episode wasn't any more exciting than the Carol/Morgan episode, the Daryl episode, or the Maggie/Sasha episode, but I found myself enjoying it more.

I think seeing Tara again was refreshing, since we haven't seen or hear from here since last season. Seeing Oceanside, which has only been referenced in the comics so far. It'll be interested to see how they use them later in the season. Tara kept her mouth shut talking to Rosita, but I don't think that'll last long.

The notion that Oceanside just "ran away" from Negan and were never found by him, is stupid....Once again, if New Alexandria is in Virginia, which it is....then Oceanside would be....oh about a three hour drive from there to get TO the ocean. I suppose Oceanside could be nest The Chesapeake bay someplace, or on the Potomac River. So Tara walking that far all alone with dead everywhere? Not plausible.

idk... every week I get my hopes up... every week TWD decides it wants to turn me away from the show.

She aint gonna keep her mouth shut long. The f*ck we even meet the Oceanside crew if theyre not gonna be involved.

Good point, they are not Amazon Wonder Women. How could they help against Negan, and IF Negan was there before why did he let them keep any guns? Did they find a new cache? This whole show is losing its tightness of the storylines, they just seem to be throwing carp out there.

At this point I just want characters killed off. Give us a few root characters on the move and f*cking sh*t up. Tired of this "Find a safe haven!" Oh no this guy over here doesn't like it and wants to exploit it! Gotta fight a uphill battle! "We Won! But oh no! Our safe haven! Better find another one" *insert short walk around for two episodes "Oh look a safe haven! Oh Gosh, this guy doesn't like us..." Rinse.Repeat.FIN.

edit: hear to here cause Im retarded

I agree with you all the way. Most shows lose direction after 6 or seven seasons anyhow. Sort of like the Brady Bunch bringing cousin Oliver on the show.....

That one episode where she essentially cosplayed Assassin's Creed last season was the end of my tolerance for her.

I hope Shiva takes her out. Now that would be one hell of a real catfight :icon17:
