A much stronger episode then the last one was. It was great seeing Daryl finally try to settle down and care about someone, and sad to see it once again not work out for him. This show would be so much better if it ended in his demise, heartbreaking as it would be, this isn't a show that should end in happily ever after.
Another useless drama episode. Is there a main plot? There's not even a villain.
Remember when Daryl was the most interesting character on TWD? That time is far gone
besides the fact that even daryl has realised they're having the same conversation every episode, the worst thing about this one is that daryl didn't even name dog. that's a travesty. it was the most daryl thing ever, and he didn't even do it???
Thanks to streaming services I was able to watch the whole episode in 10 minutes... And it still was boring and lengthy as hell
This episode was written by a ninth grader and you can't convince me otherwise
60% rating. I'm convinced that Walking Dead fans can not be pleased.
They get so mad there isn't enough character development, then we get an episode they develops Daryl (and even dog) more.
People complain.
I thought it was really good, but I guess that's an unpopular opinion to have.
I stopped watching this show for a long time. The percentage of boring "filler", cheap budget episodes is high and they are more frustrating than enjoyable. This episode and the next one are totally tedious and episode 20 is just plain stupid. There's another season after this one, but I'm finding it hard to care.
Find me, when this episode is over.
Thank you for creating an episode that answers all my questions. NOT!!!
So freaking boring. Even Darryl is sick of this shit.
Even Darryl is sick of the same over and over and over…
wow wtf is that shit.......... xD SO BAD
Well I found that quite boring. I was watching bloody FB videos.
Snooze fest. They show has become garbage.
This Episode answers all the questions we neither had nor needed answered...
I've watched every episode so far. Through its peaks and troughs. This I couldn't even finish. So boring.
meaningless filler episode that wasn't needed, who cares what Daryl did while he was playing Bear Grylls in the forest after Rick vanished?
Didn’t bother finishing this episode. I haven’t really enjoyed TWD for quite a while. The recent storyline with Alpha redeemed it for a while, but I think I’ll abandon this series.
Mostly a boring episode but the end saved it a little bit.
An episode to introduce the spin-off planned for Daryl. Nothing happens; it's just the introduction of what will be the plot of the new tv show. Daryl searching for people until he finds a place to stay.
This reminds me of the Vikings. So slow and just create episodes to get it over with. Most just watch because we have put allot of energy with all the prior episodes.
The two strongest actors (not saying much, admittedly) get an episode (almost) to themselves. I'm not sure we needed a Dog origin story but I suppose when there's a barrel bottom to be scraped, TWD will find it. It had its moments, and credit for sticking with the "different" episodes even with these short runs, but everything about this show looks exhausted these days.
Boring episode. Maybe that's just me because I think Daryl is a one-note character. The Bobba Fett of The Walking Dead!

[8.5/10] My favorite stretch of The Walking Dead is the Terminus arc, if only because the show stopped trying to do these overarching plot that it’s so-so at, and basically fell back into doing individualized short stories, giving its characters and performers space to breathe. It’s too season to tell, but part 2 of season 10 seems to be following the same tack, and it’s paying dividends.
In “Find Me”, that takes the form of a frame story where Daryl and Carol go on a hunt together, and a flashback story set in the unseen interregnum between Rick’s disappearance and the present day, where Daryl found an amiable concordance with a fellow Loner named Leah.
I like both parts of the episode. There’s a nice contrast between Carol/Daryl at the beginning of the episode versus the two of them at the end. They’re the two longest-serving cast members at this point, and it shows. There’s such an easy rapport, a lived-in back and forth between them as they make their way through the wilderness on Daryl’s bike and rib one another through the process. You can feel the shorthand and rapport that the two have developed over the years, a mutual understanding and deep friendship that’s persisted through all of this hell they’ve been through.
But at the same time, understanding a person also means understanding how to hurt them. Being vulnerable with someone also means opening up yourself to pain. So when Daryl projects his hurt and challenges Carol on the losses that are her fault, on her need to follow what’s right, and Carol returns fire on the topic of Daryl’s hero/martyr complex, it hurts just as much for the audience. What the two say to one another isn’t wrong exactly, but it’s uncharitable, it’s harsh, in a way that shows you how much these two people are smarting and, sadly, taking it out on one another with no one else to blame for the scars that have accumulated over the years.
At the same time, there’s a meta quality to their conversations and much of the dialogue in the episode. Carol seems self-aware when she wonders aloud if their luck has run out. Carol and Daryl and their coterie have enjoyed a certain amount of plot armor, and story-necessity protection for their communities given the needs of the show. And yet, we seem to be entering a new stage, post-Whisperers, with a new showrunner fully asserting herself and more wounds being opened in even the most hard-won relationships on the show. News of a spin-off featuring some characters dampens the lengths to which this could go, but it’s an interesting idea to play around with.
I also like the flashbacks we get to Daryl’s relationship with Leah. It’s a nice way to fill the gap from the show’s time jump, and I like the notion of Daryl having a tense but also solace-filled relationship with someone. Their interactions are a little traditional and expected for this sort of thing, but the chemistry is there, and the friendship is endearing. Plus, it’s an origin story for Dog, which I didn’t know I needed! I like the two of them together, finding comfort in the fact that they’ve both suffered losses, and the question of “Where do you belong?” to Daryl, challenging his hero complex, add weight to the romantic elements of the plot. The midpoint monologue from Leah is a bit much, and I just know she’s going to show up with the Reapers or something, but as a standalone piece, I still love these little glimpses of what Daryl was up to in the intervening years.
It’s also worth noting that this was a particularly gorgeous episode of the show. The autumnal setting, the beating rain, the summery glow when Daryl and Leah are enjoying life together, the framing of Daryl and Carol on opposites sides of the river, all made for some stunning images in this one. The score was excellent as always, lifting these moments without being too obtrusive. This was a slower, more aesthetic episode in a lot of ways, and I appreciate the show taking some big artistic swings, here.
Overall, this was another big winner for the new season. I’m not naive enough to expect it to continue at this level of quality, but it’s welcome to get the show as the earthy, character drama in the ashes of the world, the one we were promised all those years ago, from time to time.
