The only reason I'm giving this a 2 is for the first time in a long time the walking dead has actually focused on our core group and we haven't been in one location through the entire episode, now onto the reason I'm giving it such a low score is for the sole fact that we have been cheated, we endured the disastrous season 7 with 1 decent premiere and 15 dreadfully slow episodes which barely moved the plot forward, now after 4 OK episodes and 1 average episode, episode 6 gives us it's slowest yet, we already have loads of characters in this show so why the need to introduce new characters which serve nothing to the main story? this show is returning to it's old bad habits again, AMC advertise the show as a 16 episode long war and this is what we get? no wonder the ratings are getting lower, at this rate this show will be lucky to get a season 10 let alone a season 9, gimple needs to up his game if he wants to save this mess of a show, I've been a loyal fan since 2011 and season 7 slowly destroyed my interest for this show, why can't we have a more plausible/gritty survival show that we had during seasons 1-5? now it's cringey dialogue with the king who makes this show sound like an episode of power rangers from the 90's and then we've got negan? what a joke, this show doesn't have to completely copy the comics, the creators surely know that it doesn't translate well! anyways back to my main problem with this episode, why did rick return to the junkyard group? it makes zero sense and now he's a prisoner again, let me guess next episode we'll get a winslow 2.0? now the show is copying it's old episodes trying to be edgier and ending up a complete disaster, a 2 is my final score, kill negan already and end this disaster before it gets worse, if the mid season finale turns out to be a nothing episode and the saviours live or negan makes another escape from death with his plot armor I think it'll be bye bye to the walking dead for me, gimple, you are losing the interest of fans!
