Jerry and his girlfriend have been very busy the last few years.

Even a post apocalypse King enjoys a good ghetto blaster.

A movie in a dark decrepit old theater will attract alot of Walkers.

Will they show Night Of The Living Dead at the fair now they have a bulb?

Apparently dog is also part bloodhound.

Alpha (everyone calls her that BTW) is on way too high of a power trip, natural selection in the ZA means you sacrifice a crying baby rather than just take it somewhere else? Not even a real animal does that.

The Children Of The Corn scene was even more creepy and eerie without sound.

Prisoner exchanges are inherently extremely dangerous. Surprised nothing went south. Seemed like a missed opportunity as things ended kinda flat.

I knew Coral. He was a smart and pragmatic young man seeking the best solution for all involved in the long term. Henry, you son, are no Coral.

Will Daryl blow off another potential girlfriend or booty call candidate? At least she wouldn't talk about stuff Daryl doesn't want to hear.

Could they foreshadow Enid on prego alert anymore than the ending did?

How many people will die before Henry gets laid? Must of been a good kiss.

Sounds like Sons Of Anarchy fans, myself included, finally will get to see Opie in the next episode playing Beta. They can hide his face but not his voice.

They seem to be enjoying drawing out whatever divided the communities, it better be something good and worth the wait.

Dispite reading a lot of reviews which adressed last nights episode as a filler episode I really enjoyed this one. It included a brief comeback from the recently deceased and had a lot of tension when it came to the Whisperers confronting the Hilltop. Between these moments the Kingdom wanted to restore their cinema experience by getting a new light bulb for their projector what caused my eyes to roll at first. But the reason behind it got me smiling at the end. I love Ezekiel and Carols relationship by the way. I get why some people think it was a little slow but TWD has enough big moments in my opinion and something horrific will happen at the end of the season, we all know that. So before that happens I'm totally okay watching the characters having a conflict about what is right or wrong and how they are struggeling with their decisions afterwards. Because those moments show the characters in the most human way so the viewers might be able to relate to the situation which is a common thing if you're watching a drama series. And that's what TWD is right next to Horror and Science Fiction.

God this episode was one of the most well executed episodes I've ever seen in The Walking Dead, but still somewhere inside my heart I fear this all is just the calm before the storm. Alpha seems like a person not to be messed with, and Henry, Boy-O-Boy he's going to get people killed. The music in this episode was the standout, The whisperer music, the music used during the Kingdom mission they all fitted so well in those scenes and especially the one song at the end of the episode with all Kingdom setting up the theatre and Luke and group hanging out.. I know something really terrible is gonna happen soon, but let's cherish whatever we get now, after all we're gonna ball our eyes out soon. Not a prediction, but a spoiler. Definitely a perfect 10 episode.

The tension I felt during the baby scene can only be compared to the escape in "No Way Out", this is something that has been really missing from the show ever since. The scene was really scary from Connie's point of view, not hearing the walkers approach, and mostly, because it was't completely predictable how it's gonna play out. I liked all the previous episodes this season (more or less), but this is the one that really convinced me that the show is back on track, the one it left pretty fast after "No Way Out". Btw I hope the ratings won't keep falling and fans who gave up on the Walking Dead during seasons 7&8 will eventually give it another chance.

I am not crazy about Alpha and this new group and yet it does feel fresh and The Walking Dead seems headed in the right direction. A good moment with the baby and Daryl's realization that he needs to save the girl.

The stuff with The Kingdom and the movie was a little lame, but sometimes you need light-hearted entertainment for a change. Every episode cannot be so serious.

On hilltop we see the conflict between alpha and his group and the community, the villain demands that they deliver their daughter lydia, in exchange for the hostages alden and luke. Daryl, seeing that he had no alternative, accepted the exchange, except to see his friends being killed.

Samantha Morthon acts very well as the character, who proves to be less human and more frightful, in addition to hitting the viewer in a scene where she orders a whisperer to drop the baby to be sacrificed by the zombies.

daryl in the episode really demonstrates his role as a leader who has not added me to anything, and in the future the producers should turn him into a main protagonist or if they are already turning, I will not be pleased to see this (besides the great Rick Grimes still do) has no profile to be a main protagonist.

henry with his praiseworthy attitude insists on wanting the young Lydia to stay with him, besides being a stupid decision, because we know of the problems that this teenager will cause for the communities.

the main problem of the episode is to focus on the core of the kingdom, the intention of wanting to take the movie to this dangerous world is a little stupid, despite connecting with the fair that will be presented in the next episodes, but it was not necessary to focus so much on this core and leave the episode totally villainous.

7.0 / 10

I don't get the hate tbh.

Solid episode with the light bolt storyline being a bit "fillerish" but overall enjoyable to watch and makes sense to the story and Ezekiel's vision of things for the future.

Up's

+ Good to see music back to the episodes.

+ Alpha and Lydia are stealing the show, great performances by Samantha Morton and Cassidy McClincy.

+ Daryl and Connie seem like they make a great "couple".

+ Enjoyed Enid's callback to Carl's vision.

Down's

• Some edition problems but nothing too bad.

After last week's episode, I was beginning to think things were looking up for TWD (and not just because of the cliffhanger ending - quite the opposite, in fact). Last week's episode was filled with intrigue and suspense, yet this week's episode has been the complete opposite: everything went just as you'd have guessed it would have. It was painfully predictable, and because the writers played it so safe this week - despite there being lots of potential for danger - it was a boring episode overall.

The Kingdom group perform a completely pointless (filler) exercise by going to a cinema to retrieve...a lightbulb? Really? Is this the best you can do? And Carol acted completely out of character at the end of the episode, when she insisted they carry on with the "mission" to retrieve the lightbulb, despite it now being more dangerous than ever to do. Yet another cliché implementation, where two characters swap perspectives from beginning of the episode to the end: Ezekiel says it's too risky and they should leave it, and Carol becomes the reckless one (juxtaposed with their beliefs at the start of the episode). Totally illogical and betrays everything we know of her character and what she's been through (she would never put herself and others in danger for something so useless, after all of the loss she's suffered and the cost which silly mistakes can make).

The young male from Hilltop - his name isn't relevant as if his character keeps going the way he's going he'll be dead by the end of the season - is becoming increasingly frustrating to watch. He's the typical moron character making all the bad choices which makes the viewer roll their eyes - over and over again, episode after episode.

I will admit, I am still hopeful with what can come from the Whisperers. I am certain, however, that this episode was an utter disappointment. That being said, truthfully, I'm more often surprised when TWD is good these days than when it is poor - which is a clear sign of how far the show has fallen from what it once was.

**Side note: I wonder who's paying people to write all these fake-reviews each week giving each episode 10/10 regardless of quality (or lack thereof).**

So true to the book while creating an story that stands alone. I love Samantha's Alpha such great acting and bringing the character alive. The parallel stories were both so enjoyable by catching us up on the past, not letting up on present, and setting the stage for the future.

I know this is sacrilegious to our beloved Mr. Grimes, but this might be the best episode yet. It's not because we don't have Rick, but more a compliment to the sound mixing, editing, storytelling, production, and some really great acting. Part of it could be the tension from last episode, to this episode, and to future episodes when our favorite characters' heads are on spears. :)

Just like the book, Kirkman could keep this show going for years. Thanks for keeping it fresh while true to the story!

Bounty continues to show how ruthless Alpha is. Actual walkers star to approach and the baby starts to cry, alpha just looks at the mother and shrugs. Of course the mother complies and leave the baby on the ground for the walkers to get it. Of course the baby was saved but also showed alpha what the groups weakness is. Then of course when alpha gets lydia back alpha slaps her right in the face in front of everyone when she says "hey mom."

Of course people are upset with henry which can't really blame him too much, they just handed his girlfriend over to her abusive mother. They sent in enid who he had / has a crush on to be like hey henry hand over your little girlfriend so i can get my boyfriend back. So i mean can't really blame him just imagine being in that situation, you have kinda slim picking when it comes to a loved one. So being like hey kid there are plenty of fish in the sea does not work too much anymore lol.

Then of course we get more of the king and queen and how can anyone leave out jerry. Anytime jerry is there is great and of course jerry had a awesome walker kill. But soon the fair is coming! Can't wait for next week episode when beta arrives!

Well What can I say The Walking Dead Is going back to its roots specially with the tense baby scenes Alpha is worse than the comics but it's good Keep it going

I really have thought since Season 1 that walking in...blending in with the dead was tremendously dumb. It's a plot trick that has been abused to death in The Walking Dead and especially in Fear the Walking Dead. Here in this one we start with Alpha and Lydia having a discussion.

Then we have Rosita being discussed by Eugene and Gabriel about what they need to do about her and her baby. How Gabriel needs to LOVE Rosita. Eugene always funny with his lines but not enough to earn a star!!!

Okay and ALPHA is having problems with a couple of her people questioning her leadership. I liked this scene. I give Alpha +1 Star.

I like her bodyguard. He seems badass. I will be disappointed when he gets dropped by Daryl.

Okay so the Kings group meets another group and Carol stymies the conflict by offering the services of the King's movie theater. That was pretty good, if it works out... +1 Star.

Okay this one 7/10.

This is a great episod like we get to see more the kingdom and here traditional way of doing things like for examples getting a projector just to watch a movie and doing jokes by killing zombies and thats a way of going through this insane world that they living in.

Now to Alpha wich are showing more that she is a perfect villian by not showing any sympathy for anyone not even a baby and her daughter and saying that he could easy have killed Luke and Aiden if it werent for her daughter.

What i really like to is the Henry and Lydias relationship divelompment cause it feels so real like Henry wants to give Lydia a change to have a better life and that it's collides with her past.

This show has gotten better and Alpha is very scary
