    Personally I didn't care much for this episode, I felt the acting was sub par and the writing for this episode was terrible.

    In the immortal words of Neil, this episode was unfortunately a case of: "Oh dear".

    Saw the last two episodes and nothing really great stood out. Don’t tease Madison if your intentions aren’t to bring her back. Can’t believe they did that. And since when and why did Alicia stop killing Walkers? Wtf.

    Is Morgan really dying? That can’t be the swerve can it? Oh boy.

    Bottle episodes are strong on this show. Is this season almost over yet? Zero tension whatsoever.

    I enjoyed the ladder sequence, and I also liked the team up of Dwight and Sarah, although it felt like they were plumbing for emotional depths that haven't been earned yet.

    Indeed, that's kinda the problem. We've fallen back into that 'split everyone up' thing again, so you can go 2 or 3 weeks without seeing someone (even longer for other characters), and it all feels a bit disjointed. Mind you, it can benefit when there's a character you don't like, so there is that.

    The whole thing with Charlie trying to find somewhere for them to stay didn't really feel set-up prior to this, so you're just chucked in, and one thing I'm particular sick of with FearTWD is this airy fairy 'what does it mean?' questing - like that utter tosh with the painted trees and Alicia. It's just irritating and wanky, and you have characters abandoning sense and reason for the pursuit of some ethereal goal (if you could even call it a goal), that doesn't really lead anywhere. It feels like they're trying to force epiphanies onto the characters and it just makes me cringe.

    Also: Al and her fucking tapes. For a group so intent on maintaining radio secrecy, they're flying about with cameras taping everything!

    Some good sequences and walkers in this one but I agree with everything you stated, MZ.

    Love how Al shows in the Swat van but the actress was never on screen. Bottle episode LOL.

    This episode was a bit better I would say. Some descent action and it somewhat moved the story line forwards. Still not great but a modest improvement.

    Yeah, a decent episode ... those kids still irritate me, mind. Some good zombie gore effects going on with them falling and going splat, and Sarah got some good stuff to chew into this episode, which was nice.

    I don't like this new 'baddie' on the horse, not that I'm really supposed to of course, but that smug arrogance smirk just bugs the hell out of me.

    All I saw was yet another villain group like the Saviors. Their leader def has that annoying look; she was irritating in THE BOYS too.

    I really did like Logan, though.

    And Sara is pretty awesome. Wendell too.

    Yeah. I liked that with Logan we actually had a 'villain' go from good guy to bad guy to (briefly) good guy again. Now we've got another snarling, smug-arse villain.

    "The Boys"! That's where I recognise that actress from! I was trying to figure it out when I was watching it yesterday. Well that's that mystery solved. *dusts hands*

    It was a really good episode for Sarah this one (digging into her regret while she learned to act differently), and I do like her duo with Wendell, and I enjoyed the bit of time we got for her to team up with Dwight as well (even if the closeness was a smidge forced too quick an episode or two back).

    This episode also had what is probably the worst use of the Wilhelm Scream I’ve ever heard on film haha.
