Bad season finale. It attempts to be a Sasha episode, Maggie's leadership, an united front between all Savior's victim, and a decisive conflict all at once. Despite the longer duration, it gives you nothing emotionally touching.

It puts Sasha in the forefront, but not decisive enough to be the main plot point of the episode. Albeit appearing for most of the episode, it fails to give the final send off the writers seem to attempt to do. Maggie's speech in the end closes the episode with a reminiscence of Glenn, but we don't get to see Maggie's struggle to leadership previously in this episode. Not even in one or two prior episodes. So it came out as an awkward speech. And finally, as an united front and a decisive conflict, it plays out really weakly. Hilltop and Kingdom appearing out of nowhere. The shootout with Savior also came out unconvincing. Well, TWD is never great at all-out shootout, but this looks like a bunch of disorganized young people coming up for a riot.
