The Walking Dead: Them (2015)
Season 5, Episode 10
3/10
I feel they are falling into old habits again

Warning: Spoilers
Why? The start of season 5 started off so strongly but I feel we are going to see more boring episodes of the survivors walking through the wilderness again like in season 4 on their way to terminus. The hardcore or die hard fans should not be allowed to cast a vote, before the episode even airs it is awarded a 10/10, this episode was so boring it could easily have been summarised into 5 minutes.

They need water and food, they get water and food, sleep in a barn and meet a random guy - episode done.

So Rick and the gang trudge through the woods... again but this time there is a twist - they are in search for water this time. All this pointless dialogue of them not knowing if they are going to survive, wow just like every episode. Then a pack of dogs emerges out the woods and then are all gunned down by Sasha and then they are silent as if they are horrible human beings, if I was in a zombie apocalypse I wouldn't think twice about eating a dog.

Then they get to a barn where the spend the night. Oh wait before that it begins to rain and they all rejoice and lie down on the ground - very important. So they spend the night in this barn that Daryl found for whatever reason I don't know. Anyway a barrage of walkers appear and storm the barn but they survivors put up a fight and hold up the door to stop them from entering. Then it cuts to the next morning and we then learn that by chance trees fall outside and wipe out every single walker and leaves the barn unaffected, both a combination of coincidences and miracles - ah coincidences and miracles, more than half the plot for The Walking Dead.

So for some reason Maggie and Sasha go out to watch the sun rise just because, then a random person shows up and knows everything about the group and that Rick is the leader - again another coincidence, some random guy posing a threat to the group who for some reason knows the group. For an hour of my time we waited to see 10 seconds of this new threat and plot development. I can't wait for the next 8 episodes of walking through the woods until we find out who this stranger is, I'm sure it will be absolutely riveting.
