So boring. In FTWD & TWD we've done the 'group splits up and lets spend episodes upon episodes of them finding eachother' trope to death. And this wasn't even an interesting take on that. S.4.10 was great because we care about Alicia and her development was great. Here however, there was no development involved AND we don't care for these new characters yet, because all of them are tragic. They try to get us to like Al despite her sending June off to almost die just so she can get her camera back?
They really need to start picking the pace up now because 4B so far has been awful (minus episode 10)
Fairly certain this is the last season of FTWD. They'll have Morgan, Alecia and Strand travel to Alexandria and cut the rest of the cast loose. This episode was nothing more than two people fiddling with two-way radios only interrupted by a tire being changed.
• Why would you leave your keys in the van (2 times really?!)?
• Why would you leave that walker in de mud alive that was near the car where Al was sleeping and almost dying?
• Why don't you ask in advance where the meds are in the van? (oh right, than Al had to say there where no meds)
• If the van was so close, why don't she run back to Al when she doesn't answer?
• If June can take the pistol out of Quin's hands, why doesn't he try the same when she is standing much closer to him?
• Why doesn't Quin notice mile marker 27 come's after mile marker 20 (or 22 if he had come from the other side)
and there is probably a lot more in this episode that doesn't make sense ...
The lady at the end is dumb dumb dumb. They've completely run out of interesting ideas. Time for this show to end.
I'm bored....I'm bored ....I'm bored.
This episode was incredibly boring. I love Lennie James but this feels like the Morgan show...watching him trek slowly back to Alexandria. His trip to Texas only took like 10-15 minutes of one episode.
I’m not sure why the show has turned so boring or why the show has squandered such great actors’ abilities. They don’t show much of the range that they could. Morgan is naive for someone whose been through hell and seen the worst of people.
I still think the writers should make his character more suspicious so he’s like his character from that show Jericho he was on. Have Morgan be a spy or something while he goes on about helping people.
I really miss Madison, even more so than Nick. She added extra interest & layers. I had hoped Daniel Salazar would pop up again to bring the show back from the dead but that’s not happening.
Alicia/Alycia has great acting depth and aside from one episode this season she’s barely in the show and barely does much. Not the actress’s fault of course. Same can be said for Strand/Colman. He’s very Shakespearean with a huge range but the show keeps him simple. Just selfish or self destructive. His character in the first couple seasons was amazing and layered.
Lucianna I feel is just there. The show hasn’t looked into her character much. We know where she stood when she met Nick but that was barely touched on and we don’t know much about her as a person. Plus, where is she? And what happened to her when she left last season?
Where’s Dorie?
Now there are new characters that I personally don’t like that much. Al? Meh. June...don’t like that much. Trucker people...nope, kind of annoying. Beer man? Somewhat amusing but feels borderline gimmicky.
This episode again felt very preachy. June’s line ‘until someone showed me it can be different’ just felt very condescending to me. (Maybe I’m alone in this?). I’m sure people have all wondered or tried to do things better. It’s not that simple.
Yes there was one interesting thing that happened at the end but it’s not that interesting for me to keep watching.
I wanted the universe to show some hope but now I feel like the creators & writers for both shows have zero idea of how to do that well.
I’m tired of waiting for these shows to get better. Tired of few episodes with characters I like. Tired of good characters being killed off. Tired of seeing good actors get stuck with simple and uninteresting writing.
I’ve been fast forwarding through episodes as a last ditch effort but I’m not wasting my time anymore.
Also, with some of the things said and how this half of the season is going I feel like FTWD is going to end and the characters will be pushed over to TWD. Just a theory.
So I’ve officially given up on the Walking Dead universe now.
Can we get back to 8 good episodes per season? Another filler episode. The crazy women at the end was the only interesting thing.
Michone 2.0 lol like wtf
This episode was incredibly slow paced and much less interesting then the last 2 episodes. The last 5 minutes gave this episode some much needed terror but it can’t save this episode from a much worse rating compared to the last few. It seems they’re taking their new character based approach to a whole new level which really is a little over the top of you ask me. Hopefully it’ll clear up soon and there’ll be some much needed group action again...
Not as slow and boring as the previous episode, but still quite mediocre and unsurprising after however many seasons of The Walking Dead and 3 and a half of this show. Bring Travis back, please.

At the beginning of this season there was so much hope FTWD might become a good show but right now it's back on track to be stupid again.
