WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE
The Walking Dead aired two nights ago and I would have reviewed it then
if daylight savings time did not make me so tired that I was incapable of
reviewing it. At least I am reviewing it today, though. Without further ado, it
is time to get started.
It is hard
to come up with things to say about this episode. It is an episode where I have
just about no flaws, just a few nit-picks, and only one or two things that I liked
about it. I did enjoy the episode. It did have some dull moments, but I never
got full-on bored. Though, nothing ever got very exciting. There was that one
walker attack with Daryl that could have had some viewers on the edge of their
seats, but I knew that Daryl was not going to die.
I guess I will
start off with the nit-picks I have with the episode. Though, there really are
not that many. Other than the one I just mentioned, I only have one, and that
is that the walker attacks were a bit silly. The walker kills are getting worse
and worse as the series is going along. There are some times that people should
have been dead in this episode. I did not like that.
Before I get
into the few things I really liked about the episode, I will mention one plot
point that I have good and bad things to say about. It is when Beth gets
kidnapped. It was unexpected, so I give the writers credit for that, but it did
not really need to happen. This is just another thing to slow down the plot so
that the characters can have another problem on their hands. I really do not
want the rest of this season to be about getting Beth back. Well, anyway, there
are good things about it; like that the writers definitely could have chosen a
worse plot point to keep the group in Georgia. This could have been a good plot
point in the series if it was under better circumstances. I also like that
Daryl meets new people at the end. That has potential to be interesting. The contents
of the event are not the problem I have with it. The event just did not need to
happen.
Now I finally
get to get into what I like about the episode, other than the fact that I did
not get bored watching it. The plot was really furthered in this episode. With
this Terminus place continuing to become more of a plot point, with it being
that every one of our groups, except for Daryl and Beth, going there, that it
will be the big thing at the end of this season. We got two groups covered with
this one, and one of them was covered in about ten seconds. I really like that
Sasha, Maggie, and the other guy are going. And I also like that Glenn is
going. This could cause for a good end to the season. Also, we have some little
character progressions with the characters in the two groups the episode
focused on before the last ten seconds.
I, overall,
thought that it was a good episode. I had a few little nit-picks with smaller
things, but I enjoyed the episode and it furthered the plot much more than last
episode. Last episode was a dud. This one was a big improvement.
