I'm trying to buy into the whole "each character plays his role" theme the writers went for with this episode but I'm finding that hard to do. Maybe they're planning ahead in ways I can't foresee, but for now it seems inconsistent.
The main thing here is of course Tyreese's death which is handled awkwardly. Beth's and bob's death made much more sense, there was much foreshadowing, and it was clear they weren't main characters etc. Tyreese on the other hand clearly could have had a bigger role to play, he was the core of the team, but they kill him off very quickly and it leaves you baffled.
In the broader sense, I'm confused as to why the group are in such bad form. Just a few episodes ago they were at the top of their game being very tactical,with Rick turning Chuck Norris on everything in their way(and this isn't exaggerating). Now they suddenly make rookie mistakes and lose to 2 walkers? Come on Haven't we've been here before, losing friends and fighting enemies? and they got WORSE at it? how does that make sense..
Usually I'd buy into the despair and bleakness of this show but at this point I'm weirded out and the artsy cinematic tricks don't help me understand how this whole philosophical theme could logically resolve, it feels very pretentious.
