The rocket has been launched ! The Reapers are here, and our second group is heading to Commonwealth... This is one of the best episodes of The Walking Dead, hands down. Josh McDermitt gives a stellar performance, one that will be remembered for sure. It's sad and heartfelt, and it made me love Eugene even more. On the other hand, Yumiko shows how much she can outsmart the auditors. She is a force to be reckoned with, and her story is awesome.
Acheron : Part II is absolutely brutal. The dialogue is cold as hell, and the horror is shown in multiple ways. Gage's death was reminiscent of Noah's in season 5, and extremely gruesome. The group's decision to let him die is pretty insane, and the show actually made me feel bad for him, which is something in itself. The end of the episode was terrifying and done well. The lighting was stunning and spectacular, and enhanced the train car scene, in what reminded me of a No Way Out situation. Once again, the directing and the editing excelled.
Checking all these boxes : emotion, smart characters, great dialogue, excellent lighting, intensity, horror, shocking deaths, directing, editing, pacing, story, and more. And the next episode looks even better, like... how is that possible ?
