The Walking Dead: Monsters (2017)
The First Time I Became ANGRY At This Show (SPOILERS K?)
The Walking Dead is my favorite TV show. Drama, great cast, a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, and of course guys with baseball bats and zombies. Heck, I even liked Season 7 because I KNEW that this wasn't supposed to be an action based season. It was building up to the big war, and boy, even in Season 8, we are getting that big war. Finally.
This episode however, was a bit off. Daryl, Morales, and Eric. Three BIG problems with the episode here. Daryl has always been a bit of a hothead, I get it. But when you get your friend Glenn died because Negan was literally "offending" Rosita, and you punched him, that would show you to keep your act together. Yeah, I know him becoming more "darker and edgy" is like for revenge for them putting him in the hole, but Jesus Christ, Daryl. The way he killed Morales and the way he shot the guy that Rick promised to keep alive, it almost makes me feel like Daryl is on the way to becoming a extreme nut-ball that can't be kept alive. He's a hothead, but now he is a killing hothead. I hate to say it, but if he keeps acting like this, not giving an old friend a chance, or killing a guy that his BROTHER promised to keep alive, he has got to die in SOME way. Either he can get shot, or just exiled. Hey, maybe the show will lose the millions of "Daryl dies, we riot" fans, but screw em'.
Morales, oh sweet Morales. The show has been dying a lot recently. Now down to SEASON 2 STANDARDS. But here they come, they bring the man himself back from the dead, and.....they kill him off the second he comes back...WHAT THE HECK? So what was the point in bringing him back?! Here's an idea, Scott. Maybe you can have a story where he is in conflict of whether to turn to Rick's side again. Or at the very least, if at the end of it all, he won't, have Morales go off to be in the Fear the Walking Dead crossover. Maybe even hear a shot go off in the distance signaling he kills himself, since Morales, when he died, had nothing to live for. THAT WOULD'VE HAVE BEEN AWESOME. It may not bring TWD back to 14 million viewers, but at least it'd be more entertaining then mindless shooting and wastes of hundreds of bullets.
And Eric. I don't want to have too much time, dedicated to him, because honestly...I didn't care for him....at all. Aaron has a lot of personality, and actual importance to the story. Eric, had neither, and the consequence was me not giving a dang. I felt sad for Aaron, no doubt about it. If I lost my girlfriend like that in a war, I would at least search all over the place trying to look for her "walking corpse". (Plus, whats with all the times in this season people have stopped one other from doing something for some sort of excuse, IE, Father Gabriel stopping Rick from shooting Negan and Scott pulling Aaron away from trying to put down his boyfriend).
Not a bad episode per-s.e. Great action, loved seeing Rick and Daryl becoming a bloody Dynamic Duo, but there were some things that rubbed me the wrong way, and this is officially the one (out of only like 3) that really made me angry. 7/10.
