More stupidity from The Walking Braindead. Everything surrounding the Dante plot is absolutely stupid. The trip to the library was meaningless and stupid, it looks like all it was supposed to do was momentarily introduce a character who would show up again 5 minutes later, without there being any need for his initial appearance. However, that plot does look like it might go somewhere. The Gabriel plot is incredibly stupid. This is the man who never ever wanted to kill, and even when he did it was only out of absolute necessity. Now I don’t know if it’s because I’ve taken large breaks from this show and have forgotten or it’s because I just don’t care anymore, but I am 99% sure that outburst was like the polar opposite of what his character is supposed to be and I’m not buying it for a second.
Finally, the venture into whisperer territory was just unknowingly stupid, of course Carol goes chasing her and they all fall straight into the most textbook trap there is; don’t chase someone in their own territory ffs, especially when it’s as vast and unknowing as the woodlands. Stupid, stupid show, two episodes in a row without Negan and, not coincidentally, two episodes in a row with practically no redeeming qualities. I remember seasons 5 and 6 when I used to be so excited for the show, and couldn’t bear the week long waits between episodes. Now, I absolutely couldn’t care less, this show has completely fallen off my rankings and there are so many other shows I’d rather watch. I am only here because I am so far into this show that I may as well continue to the end, along with the 0.000001% chance that maybe, just maybe, the show might come close to the standards it set during seasons 4-6 again. 6/10
