When I saw the beginning montage of people I knew what was gonna come. The couple, the mother, the random dude getting hugged by an extra who walked off trying not to look for recognition of the behind-the-scenes team. And then, yet another lousy speech that would only rile up the most fervent cult-member... and boy did they act like cult-members.
And yet I kept watching.
The episode got a bit better when Ezekiel's character was in view but it balanced dreadfully close to the abyss when the stupid cat and mouse game with nerdy evil Carl look-a-like began. Guess 3 meters isn't that far in zombiepaces ? Oh no, wait, it's 12 meters all of a sudden.
And yet I kept watching.
Upside was Zeke's axe-wielding friend affirming that he is indeed a cool dude. Where's the tiger... don't tell me they'll... Oh it's Carol being bad-ass... Great. "I couldn't stop them"... Besides shooting the tires, shooting them at the start, below the truck, hell throw a grenade for all I care... but no... let's let in slow shambling zombies instead. Oh and shooting in the air, lots of shooting cuz WAR. War is lots of shooting right?
Let's not even start about the chase scene.
Where's the suspense, where's the tension, where's CORRAL, Negan, where's a decent action director and intellect? Where 's the place they got all those bullets from all of a suddon. Where's the creativity and writing that isn't done by 10-year old kids. Again, certain scenes with Ezekiel were good to great and in general the build up and break-down of this character was nicely done but then the show managed to do the lasy thing again and... kill off the tiger. Once more they threw a fan-favorite character "to the lions" and killed it off cuz... it's a bleak world and shocker right?! Game of Thrones did it right? Kill your darlings, guys? Guys? Look a useless unimaginative and unnecessary death of a loved character!
As previous commenters stated: I cared more for the death of this CGI animal than I did any of the 50 idiotic people in Rick's gang. The little kid at the end walking towards a broken Zeke was good but that was most likely built on my soft spot for self-sacrificing underdogs, kids and my own disappointments with, to and from children. The rest was just... drek... again.
And yet I roll my eyes and sigh.
I'm almost done with this show, how many more episodes this season? It'll be the third series I stopped watching voluntarily. There are no characters left I still care about (besides Negan, but he's gonna die anyways right, Ezekiel and his buddy, who are both most likely gonna die before the season's end) and for me it can all just end. I'll watch Fear the Walking Dead instead... that show I rolled my eyes at before it started cause it sounded so derivative... The irony.
