I feel so sorry for anyone who works on this show, or thinks it has any redeemable qualities.
The writers were clearly as lost as they portrayed Morgan. :laughing:
I watch this show and I feel nothing. I don't care for any of the chatacters. I'm just here to watch it die - 6 episodes left.
I felt like too much ground tried to get covered in one episode here. There was your usual mix of awful writing/acting/I can't even tell anymore from Dove and Shriek, along with a compelling but sloppy story of Morgan's instability, Mo's allegiance seemed to shift remarkingly quick, and in the end you're not even clear if you're following Morgan's journey or the original story's. If you watch the director's cut, you can see this was the end of Morgan's path in this show, but the episode itself didn't make that obvious and that's yet another fail. I don't know what the last 6 episodes will be about, honestly I really don't care either, they should've just ended this show right here because I really don't have a reason to care about anyone left anymore.
I didn't like the editing in this one, the 'seeing red' stuff with Morgan just didn't look good to me.
The scene with Dwight, Sherry and Finch was nice, though.
Just when you thought it could not get worse. This is some of the dumbest sh!# I have ever seen! How were the actors ok with filming this?
OMG those red Morgan flashes were so annoying!
Why is it halfway through the season and Colman Domingo has been credited in every episode without appearing in one?
WOW!!! this was a heavy and totally Morgan Ole skool mental frame of him. I'm interested in seeing what's going to happen next.
I saw red much like the episode title. The writers really checked out of this one for a mid-season finale. Literally seeing red screen flashes? This is hack writing if I've ever seen it.
Kim Dickens must be happy to get her show back but at this point it really doesn't matter.
I still have 6 episodes left to finish off this series... too bad this wasn't the actual ending if this is what I'm in store for the rest of the series.
I couldn’t roll my eyes enough watching this. Some of the worst television I’ve ever seen.
Morgan : tries to find & help Mo.
Also Morgan : "You need to get as far away from me as you can."
Those parents shooting at their own kids. It's ironic... and rubbish.
If there is some internal logic as to why Morgan and Co. keep going back to that same deathtrap of a boathouse, I missed it and don't care at this point, but it really makes it hard to watch when the characters keep making dumb and illogical decisions time and again. But then again, almost none of the shit on this show seems to make sense anymore.
It's not just that a lot of the characters' actions make no sense; the dialogue is dreadful too.
In the boathouse, we're presented with this head-scratching exchange:
Mo: "I was trying to run away from you."
Morgan: "Then why didn't you? Why didn't you go?"
Mo: "Because I didn't want to watch you die like I had to watch her."
Umm, if Mo had left, she wouldn't have watched Morgan die because she would have been gone. Now that she stayed, Mo would have had to watch Morgan die if she failed to save him.
The first half of this season was obviously all about Morgan and Madison, but the whole thing really suffered from the absence of the other characters because they brought some charm to the show. Dwight and Sherry are good on screen, but June has been a shell of her former self for quite some time, and on screen, she has seemed flat. The same with Daniel. He used to be a real bad ass, but he has seemed neutered this entire season, and his presence has been completely perfunctory.
I hate to say it, but Kim Dickens and Lennie James just seemed checked out this season. In the latter part of the show when it went from being better to its predecessor to much worse, Colman Domingo was one of the bright spots, so too were the actors who played Sarah and Wendell. Unfortunately, the latter two weren't given much to do in season 7 and nothing so far in season 8, which is a shame. So, hopefully we'll pick up where we left off with some of these other people because this first part has felt stale as year-old toast.
This episode felt like the end path's episode of Morgan, which is weird since there are only 6 episodes left. I mean, does it really matters that his story "comes to an end" being so close to the actual ending? Feels like paying Lennie for 6 more episodes wouldn't hurt anyone, but who knows. Also, his story seems to continue in what could have been a crossover with the main series, if it weren't that it also already ended. Is he going to appear in the Rick and Michonne's miniseries, or we just going to take that he "took off to find Rick" and make his ending in our minds?. The "main character" baton comes again to Madison's hands, but it feels weird after like 4 seasons. Don't know where are they going to go with the story, but tbf, i also don't care much. Same a TWD, this series should have had ended 5 years ago.
I actually really liked this episode. Morgan's 'attacks' were not done well though.

those red flashing lights were really cringe. in fact, it was one cringe scene after another. the end gave me a bit of hope, but surely it can't save a terrible episode and a terrible season start
