No Sanctuary. This episode picks up with a flashback from the early days of Terminus and then picks right back up in train cart with Rick Grimes and company which was the result of the previous season finale, we also follow Carol and Tyreese as they make their way to Terminus. What follows is a visually stunning episode that keeps you suspend from start to finish, this is one of those episodes I never get tired off. It deserves ten stars. It was perfect to end things on a cliffhanger and start 5.01 like this, nicely done!
The episode is wonderfully directed by Greg Nicotero, it's one of the best episodes he have directed and it shows his capabilities and skill. Every angle and every shot is spectacular, simply phenomenal and stunning cinematography. With Greg Nicotero as the director we know that it will be a lot of walkers and unique special/practical effects and that is what we got. He shined at both tasks. The writer team did an excellent job with this episode, truly a superb episode in every aspect. Scott M. Gimple again shows how great a writer he can be, I have always had respect for his early writing days before he made some bad decisions and choices as a showrunner but we know from this and earlier episodes that he is a good writer.
No Sanctuary has a lot of action but also a ton of character development, Carol and Tyreese has the most of it. The strong acting from people like Melissa Mcbride, Andrew Lincoln and Chad L. Coleman doesn't go unnoticed. They gave their best and it became one the most memorable and popular performances. The whole ensemble is super talented, everyone did great work in this episode.
Some final thoughts on the episode. The final flashback shows us how terrible Gareth and his group had it after they got attacked, it makes us care for them. The show does a magnificent job at making it realistic how humans can go from good to bad, we saw it with the Terminates, I think anyone would lose some part of yourself after experiencing all that. The final thought, Morgan's return makes me happy every time I see it and this was maybe the 5th or 6th time I've seen this episode.
