Ok, the bar has been lowered so low, below the barrel. I mean it's not even in the barrel. So, much so low, that we can look at this episode and say, "Yeah, that was great, it's a 10 star show again". Not! Not, if you start thinking about what happened. Only, if you start swallowing the garbage they keep dishing out, will this show be great.
The Good - 1, The Garbagers are gone. Thank you. And Jadis is left alone, and She speaks normal now. Thank you. 2, Simon and Negan back and forth. Simon wants blood and he gets it. 3, Jadis and the Meatgrinder.
The Bad - 1, Rick and Michone trying to put out a fire. What the hell is that? Come on. Give me a break. You just lost your son, and you're playing firemarshall. Just stop. 2, The Van? Where did that come from. Did Negan leave the Van there, with a full tank of gas, just in case someone needed a rental? 3, Rick and Michone go to Garbageland. Your son just died, your people are killed and scattered, and maybe you're thinking about your little girl that Shane fathered, and that you should consolidate and fortify your defenses. No, you go to Garbageland. Why, because the writers need another scene with Jadis. 4, Jadis lets Simon in. So, you doublecross Negan, and now let Simon in. How does that make any sense. How about Simon comes to the Garbageland gates and Jadis blows away Simon and Company. No. Then she gives up her guns. This is truly garbage. Truly. Do not kid yourself. This was a decent episode with lots of good stuff to like. Tons of zombies. Some good action. The meatgrinder. That's great. But letting Simon in, then giving up your guns. No, this is not good. Not good at all.
The Laughable - aka (Soap Opera Nonsense) 1, Enid and Aaron are freed. So, if you're Ocean-people and someone just killed one of your people, the first thing you do is imprison them, then after a conference they decide to execute them, and then you free them. I don't think so! Someone kills one of your people they are killed immediately. End of story. Then Aaron decides that being free is not enough, he will try again to get Oceaners on his side. Please stop. It's not even funny anymore. 2, Ok, Rick after reading Coral's notes calls Uncle Negan and tells Neeg that Coral is DEAD! And Neeg is emotional. Please add Soap Opera Music where appropriate. Rick tells Neeg that all CORAL wanted was peace, and that Neeg was going to be Judith's Godfather and that they will grow tomatoes and just be all good and stuff. Add music. Maybe violins. And then Rick says he doesn't care what his dead son CORAL has to say because he's dead and that he will kill Neeg. Neeg tells Rick, hey man that's all on you, you were a bad dad and a bad person, you're a loser dude. Rick is the biggest loser. Please laugh.
Ok, the name of the game is entertainment. And given the low bar, below the barrel material we have been dished out in the past few years, what we have here is The Good, The Bad, and The Laughable Soap Opera "How The Zombie World Turns".
Rating is a passing 5 stars.
