This doesn't do anything for me at all. I'm. Not liking the people Beth is with. It's too soon for another protagonist. The Hunters were handled perfectly, and there is enough story to tell about the journey to DC without these people at all. The whole of the last episode with Beth bordered on the ridiculous. Now we waste the last episodes up to the mid season finale on it. Not to mention Carol is becoming a bit of a Mary Sue. I loved her season 3/ start of season 4... so far all she does is irritate me. When did she become She-ra? Having Carol and Daryl pair up with no one else seems like a ratings grab. Which they don't need to do. This show is already kicking ass with a great ensemble cast. Season 1, 2 and 3 managed to give each character enough story and exposure without individual character episodes. Why now?
There were a few that worked last year...The 2 Governor episodes. Taken straight from the novel. A gift from Gimple to the fans to fix the mess Mazzara made. And episode 9. Almost directly from the comic. A perfect way to wean back.in after the fall.of the prison. The rest of them? They were ok... but the majority of this cast are not leading man/woman material. They perform well in an ensemble, but bought to the front it exposes their weaknesses. And that's why these are usually weaker episodes.
Goes to show with "Self Help" much better episode than "Slab town" because Michael is a much stronger actor than Emily. She's into her 4th season. MC is into his 6th episode (maybe not even that many) and he did a much better job than she did. We don't know him like the rest of the cast. But he carried last night's episode. If it was left without him and was a Glen or Maggie based episode. It would have sucked. As much as I like them. They are supporting characters.
Not holding out much hope for this next episode. I expect it will be full extreme walker kills so fans can exclaim how much of are bad ass Daryl and Carol are, and very little story. But it'll keep a major demographic of the fans happy...
Me too... Abraham nailed it. The new world needs Rick Grimes. I think it's general consensus that the episodes without the leading man in, are never as good as the ones he is.
The promo looks really awesome. They're two of my favorites and I'm really foward to this episode. Want to know how Carol got taken by the hospital people. I want to see if they will talk about Lizzie and Mika and about her wanting to leave the group. Should be a very cool episode can't wait. Wonder if Noah will make a appearence.
This clearly will shows the events after when Carol and Daryl went chasing after the car which IMO they should of aired it the following week instead of 2 episodes later lol

Looks awesome! I can't wait for this episode! Queen Carol is back and her and Daryl make a great team.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I enjoy these two onscreen, I really miss Rick and the rest of the group. However, I think this will be an entertaining hour of television!
ReplyDeleteLooks very intense!! can't wait!! I can't believe that we are just three episodes left before the hiatus..damn, time flies s
ReplyDeleteLooks like Carol & Daryl are going to have their very first sleep over. I can't remember they last time they ever have an episode all by themselves.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, but it's another pov episode.
