There are two aspects that I'd like to discuss, first the episode, second where the writers are getting at.
Firstly, the episode is well-made giving us glimpses of Daryl and Carl's teenage mania for Enid and Sasha's baggage. It has thick story, action, slight romance, drama, strong emotions, fist fights, bitching. It's well made basing on how the last two episodes were made; But I have some real issues with the way in which the Walking Dead is progressing.
This extends to the second part - Making of the Walking Dead One cannot spend 1 hour to watch the same things every time- characters talking and walking, sudden walker attacks, killing them, running our of bullets, handling mental issues. I agree all of these things make up a episode, but the writers/directors have to give the devoted audience something. At least they have to establish the ground rules as in, if the episodes will head in Survival and look for a cure sort of a thing or if they just deal with walker attacks and emotions/characterization. Because at one point all of this is going to get real convoluted and boring.
The previous 3 seasons already established the fact that the characters are no where near reality and they come with tonnes of baggage. Survivors almost at the end of 5th season, like Sasha who dealt with a lot of stuff before are supposed to sort their mental issues. We have zero idea on where Rick and his troop want their place in the urban society.
Rating of the episode - 8/10
Rating of the episode - 8/10 Or, are the writers give us something exciting in the last 5 minutes of alternate episodes forever to satisfy the sensation seeking audience like they did it to this one ?
