Questions
How did Rick get away from the zombie horde? Where was the emotion, the fight, the discussion with himself that he must survive?
Who bandaged his hand?
Where is Carol?
Where is the thank you to Carol? Not only from Rick, but the Alexandrians?
What is the Scooby gang gonna do about Sasha? Daryl? Abraham?
How dumb is that doctor? That doctor said she went to medical school. That's 4 years of training. Do you mean to tell me it took her hours and reading Gray's Anatomy to figure to try and drain the wound? In 4 years of medical training she never heard the word debridement?
Who really cares if the bodies are buried in the town? Seems almost as pointless as the pasta maker.
When is Rick going to take a shower?
Where did Carl's fighting skills run off to?
Observations
The writers do such a good job with the action. They also do a great job with special effects. I gotta say. Those zombies were super sweet this week and I rarely get all goo-goo ga-ga over them.
So tell me this? What is their aversion to actually seeing the characters have a conversation with each other? I'm not talking verbal vomiting, or information dumping, but actual conversations? It's starting to get really on my nerves.
As for the female doctor. I liked that Denise felt the courage to tell Tara that she was gay. I'm assuming some of her anxiety stems from always being closeted? I think that's what she was getting at with her comment to Tara, that since it's the end of the world, why not come out of the closet. Hey, good for her. That was honestly a very sweet moment.
Wishes
I really would have liked to have seen some time devoted to Rick fighting his way out of that camper. I thought that end scene with him a few weeks ago was so moving, so on point. I really wish we had seen more.
I really wished to see Carol's interaction with the town and Rick. What a wasted moment by the show.
Final Thoughts
So much time was wasted this week. Emotional connections, discussions -- true interactions would have been great to see. This episode was not only filler, but filler of the worst kind. Lost used to do a great job with backstory. They, in fact, excelled at it for a very long time. Who knew in the beginning how badly we needed to know the backstory between Sun and Jin. How extremely satisfying was it when we got to learn? We craved more and more story for them. That's what made them dying together so very sweet and moving. Character interactions and moving scenes would have been a much, much better use of TWD's time that this crap. Terrible, terrible, terrible. They went from beyond good, to beyond bad in a matter of a few weeks. We know the writers have it in them ... I'm not sure why they don't just put those writing skills to the test.
