Likes: A new major character! Even though the introduction of King Ezekiel could have been (was) jarring and ridiculous they managed to pull it off by the end of the episode. I couldn't tell if Morgan was being playful with his "Oh I forgot to tell you he's got a tiger" moment but it was funny. Carol's just great as usual. Her dead-pan reactions shows how adaptable she is when faced with extremes like an insane captor/rescuer (we assume at first Ezekiel must be deranged).
Good tension being applied regarding the tribute demanding Saviours.
The new ways the show keeps finding to kill zombies is always a winner for me too (face slice). And I'm intrigued how the pig meat is going to affect whoever eats it. I don't know what the 'rules' are in this world here so I guess I have to wait and see like everyone else.
Dislikes: If you're going to have a choir can you please juxtapose it with footage of Zombies being hacked up. The singing went on and on. It was like being forced to watch some proud parents video of their kids practising for church. Was it to show they don't care if they attract zombies to their gates? Are they trying to show that their lives within the compound are so efficiently run that they have enough people with spare time, energy and positive attitudes to spend it singing? It felt like filler. Stop it.
Not keen on Carol's apparent change of heart about how she sees the zombies. If the delusions she's having that zombies are still people it is going to change her character drastically.
Overall I liked the episode and we probably needed a step back from last weeks ultra-violence.
My 2 cents: I really enjoy closely examining backgrounds, locations and the decisions people make, and then deciding how I would do things in the same situations. The trouble with that is logic doesn't always play a large part and this frustrates me occasionally. I still can't understand why they always seem to have some rusted out piece of crap car. The dealerships would be full of new cars just begging to be taken. By now, everyone left alive would have a pretty nice car you'd think.
