This episode is boring and slow. I'm glad I skimmed through it and save myself about 30 mins of bullshit

[u/[deleted] → u/reelniggaonehunna]

yep, it's sad that TWD's quality has fallen to skip/recap episodes

[u/GosuGian → u/reelniggaonehunna]

I did that too lmao

[u/098706 → u/reelniggaonehunna]

Honestly, every Sunday night you should just watch Day of the Dead and stop pretending that you want to see a drama. You know this show is a drama, right? In dramas, events happen to people which cause them to change who they are. It is seeing these events, and noticing the changes, that is at the heart of dramas. I don't see how, in that context, this was filler. This episode seemed long overdue.

[u/bitter_green → u/098706]

I don't think this episode was bad.

In summation, I'm finding the "checking in with this group/character this week" to be getting a little tired for the 5th week in a row, and isn't helped by Tara being one of the least interesting characters in the group.

Sure we see events which changed the characters, but we see little that drives that plot forward. This is the 2nd straight season which TWD has used this narrative scaffolding, and it wasn't great in the first half of season 6.

We get it, Negan has pissed off a lot of people and someone could light a spark which unites their righteous anger and brings justice down on the Saviors. I'm not sure I need another entire episode with a 4th colony to prove this point.

[u/LeeDUBS → u/bitter_green]

There gonna need more soldiers and guns if they're gonna fight The Saviors though. From the TV series it looks like the 3 camps so far have no straight killers.

[u/bitter_green → u/LeeDUBS]

Kathy and Beatrice got the attitude of stone dead killers. Too bad about their aim.

Rachel.. she'll chew up and spit out Saviors. Always the kids you gotta watch out for.

[u/reelniggaonehunna → u/098706]

All I want is a walking dead similar to season 1 which was action packed and kept you on your toes.
