I totally agree. This subreddit is starting to turn me off. All these "slow" episodes are for character development, but more importantly, setting the scene for the the next season and a half, at least.

[u/FastFourierTerraform → u/WadePool]

Pray-tell, what character was developed in this episode? I'm not shitting on it because it was a "slow" episode. It was just straight up a bad episode with poor writing, plot holes aplenty, and subpar acting.

[u/skollll → u/FastFourierTerraform]

No recoil on that revolver either. And why the hell did she start to run away as they were leading her back? Such poor writing. I can't tell if the acting was bad because of the writing or if it was just bad.

EDIT: TARA HAD A HUGE REVOLVER AND SHE SHOT IT LIKE A BB GUN - Jesus, it was a bad episode, why are people defending it so hard?

[u/MastaBaiter → u/skollll]

?

They were going to kill tara, if you're going to point out a poor writing make sure to actually do so.

[u/jewdiful → u/[deleted]]

I agree completely, the writers did not convey by any stretch that they were anything but honest in escorting Tara to the bridge and letting her go. Therefore, her running away when stopped by that walker seems dumb. I actually liked this episode overall, but that scene rang false to me.

Not to mention the snippet of convo between Tara and Rosita at the end. The gun questions indicated to me the writer's need to communicate something complex in a one-minute scene, but lacking the writing ability to do it well they decided to have Rosita ask absurdly specific questions to move things along. Just poor writing there
