Felt Like Walking Dead Again
This episode really took me back to earlier seasons when Walking Dead was about this group running away in the woods from the psychopaths and killers.
It's been a long time since we've had an episode like this where you actually feel like they're in trouble and the threat is real. That's not to say Commonwealth hasn't been a threat or it's a bad storyline, I do think it's a neat idea to have someone making a community and trying to act like everything is normal and makes her own little fascist country, but I think the execution of this idea has been somewhat mediocre and disappointing at time and plot lines like this one are more interesting and thrilling and feel like the Walking Dead we long for. It felt like I'm back in season 5 watching the gang trying to escape the cannibals.
This episode was really well-done aside from some goofy decisions they've been making in the writing for the past 3 seasons, but one thing that makes me worried about how it's gonna end is that there are only 3 episodes left and we're still stuck with this Commonwealth stuff and it's obvious that they're probably gonna end the show with the Commonwealth storyline and they might not even bring Rick and Michonne back, because if they wanted to do they would've done it already, unless they're gonna do a quick "cameo" surprise thing with them and have no buildup to it.
What I'm saying is, I wish that they could've cut some storylines and stuff from inside the Commonwealth and reached this point we're in now sooner so we could've had the third part of this season dedicated to whatever Michonne was doing this whole time.
Anyway, I thought this episode was really engaging and fun to watch and the stormtroopers didn't act like the complete idiots they sometimes are, but I still thought so many stuff that moved the plot felt really forced as always, like the bike scene which at first was baffling and immersion-breaking, but I'll give them a pass since the result of it wasn't what I was thinking. They do this a lot with the writing, they make these experienced characters who have been alive in this post-apocalyptic world dumb for brief moments in order for the plot or the action to happen. And I know you can't have a plot with everyone being smart and quick-thinking all the time, but I just expect these things to feel like they're happening naturally and not feel forced and contrived. And I really thought Ezekiel's lines in this episode were really goofy and he was acting like he's been 20 years in Shawshank or something or he's performing a live play with those dialogues.
The episode was enjoyable and engaging, the action was good and they did a good job of giving more screen time to the stormtroopers too and also giving some of them personality too, though they are your run-of-the-mill "bad guy" characterization, but it was nice and added to the episode a lot.
It's really interesting to see where they go with this storyline, and I think we all know how this is gonna end, but more about where they're gonna go with Rick and Michonne and how they're actually gonna end this show and is it gonna be another GOT or just a decent ending.
