Probably my favourite episode OAT so far, but I know brba s5 crazily exceeds expectations so I cannot wait!
Jesse’s “I have nothing” moment made me tear up and this episode had no business being so intense, emotional and gripping :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile: So glad Hank survived for now jesus
(10/10) - The greatest episode of The Walking Dead.
(5.5/10) I’m sorry but did I just watch 40 minutes of my favourite character making soup, tearing apart walls and screaming at a rat, whilst my other favourite character attempts to start his bike without his pocket knife?
The most interesting part of this episode was when Carol explained the story of some dude only had rocks, so asked people for ingredients to make a soup. Oh… and I almost forgot that epic scene where Dog knocked the ingredients on the floor.
I feel like I’ve watched absolutely nothing! This episode is by far the worst episode of the series and probably the entire show…
(9.5/10) - Despite many negative and less enthusiastic reviews, I believe that this is one of the best episodes so far this series. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was phenomenal, but I thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace and the cinematic journey that this episode gave us.
Although the plot wasn’t exactly brilliant, there were so many moments where I genuinely thought Carol was going to get certain people killed. I still love Carol even though she keeps getting in sticky situations with others and alone.
I am devastated that Connie may have died, as I thought her and Daryl would continue to form that great relationship that a lot of others could learn from and Magna also may be gone too, just after her fight with Yumiko.
The Negan and Alpha scene was probably the most disgusting moment in the entire show so far… I don’t understand what the hell that was all about but sure… I guess. I’m not going to go into detail about that but keep a pillow nearby for that!
This episode made me feel very claustrophobic and certainly kept me on the edge of my seat, so I believe it was super successful!
The greatest episode of television I have ever watched… my heart absolutely sank about 3 times. This was the most depressing yet most wonderful thing I have ever experienced.
(9.6/10) - This was an absolute rollercoaster of an episode from start to finish. The blood, grit and gore was perfectly encapsulated in a tense and horrific display of the power of ‘The Punisher’. When Frank was practically scooping out Rawlins’ eyes, I really didn’t recognise this as a Marvel show! EPIC!
“Home.”
(6.9/10) - This episode felt very different from the first in both positive and negative ways. Although this episode was slightly longer and also slower paced, there were some essential moments for character development and the situation still continues to be highly mysterious.
(SPOILERS!!!) The primary storyline was Frank Castle hunting down Micro (a man who called him on the phone whilst he was eating his breakfast.) After interrogating and then murdering Carson Wolf, in true Punisher style, Frank discovered that Micro was in fact David Lieberman, the husband of Sarah (a woman who knocked The Punisher out with her car.)
The ending of the episode was probably the highlight, as it was very spooky and unpredictable. I liked the feel of the atmosphere and how Frank’s journey to track down Micro quickly became Micro’s problem as Frank had turned the tables (again in true Punisher style.)
Overall, this was not at all a bad episode, it just was kinda slow and some of the insights into Frank’s past just need explaining at this point, so fingers crossed for answers in tomorrow’s episode.
(8.5/10) - I have not heard many people talking about ‘The Punisher’ and I have never acknowledged him as an iconic marvel character, so I was not incredibly motivated to watch this show. However, after seeing Jon Berthnal’s exceptional and iconic performance as Shane Walsh in AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’, I thought I’d give this series a try.
… and boy it is bloody fantastic so far! Pilot episodes are never really intense or fast-paced, and they often contain necessary but sometimes boring insights into certain characters’ backstories, but this pilot is certainly unique.
I loved the dark and mysterious vibe of the episode; the soundtrack, special effects and acting was absolutely spot on. There isn’t a whole lot of dialogue in this episode, but that isn’t required as the fast-moving plot and even early character development hits the nail on the head!
Frank Castle spends a lot of the episode traumatised and haunted by memories of his past with his children and continually sees certain visions of his wife, which I really enjoyed as it was a different approach to telling a story without conveying too much critical information- it helped to keep me hooked.
Overall, I am very excited to see what is next for this stand-out series and I’m definitely going to binge-watch!
Best Scene (SPOILER WARNING!!!) When Frank absolutely destroys Lance and his team of criminals after they hurl an injured Donny into a cement mixer.
(9.9/10) - I was expecting this episode to be a bit of a mess and slightly lower in quality than others in the series after the catastrophic events of ‘Walk With Us’ but it didn’t fail to deliver in pretty much all aspects; it was an unforgettable, psychologically terrifying 50-minutes, full of drama and plot twists that intrigued me to a hellish extent! The fact that Michonne may be able to locate Rick has given me so much hope and I cannot wait to find out how her journey goes.
Michonne’s hallucinations were absolutely epic and simultaneously horrible. The return of both Andrea and Siddiq made me slightly emotional and it was crazy to see Michonne in Negan’s position. The ‘what if’ elements in this episode worked really well in my opinion and made for one of the best Walking Dead episodes of all time, which is unique for a side-story episode as ones like Tara’s venture to Oceanside were an awful lot weaker!
(9.5/10) - This episode was truly delightful! Although it was incredibly dialogue heavy and featured very little action until the final few minutes, I really loved watching this one as it set the next episode up to be pretty epic (with some seriously prominent foreshadowing.)
I am truly worried about Ezekiel as now he has sort of mended his struggling relationship with Carol and has told her about his secret cancer situation, which normally suggests in a show like this that he may not be safe in upcoming episodes.
Daryl is also at risk of death in my opinion, as he did a great job in episode 10 of somewhat destroying Alpha, but it is ultimately Carol who should end her due to her clear determination and ability to put herself (and often others) in danger to attempt to rid Alpha (and hopefully Beta) of the world.
I also have really bad feelings about Stephanie and her meeting with Eugene, as she seems a little too good to be true. I really hope everything goes well, as Eugene deserves happiness after all the calamity he has been through, but I also kinda think he belongs with Rosita…
Overall, this was such a superb mid-season finale and I enjoyed every second of it, but I reckon Daryl/ Ezekiel are going to get severely injured or even killed in episode 12.
(10/10) - This episode was terrifyingly spectacular. As soon as I realised that Alpha was the woman in disguise I got goosebumps and they remained right until the very end. This episode was so special and will always have a place in my heart as it was the most delightful and simultaneously painful 60 minutes of my week.
The Walking Dead’s ninth series has been the best series in an awfully long time as there are truly shocking and unexpected circumstances around every corner, and seeing all of those heads on the pikes made me scream! Carol’s reaction to Henry’s death made me cry too!
Alpha is the most haunting and sadistic villain I think I have ever seen and I am very much hoping that our survivors can defeat her and the Whisperers in the next season somehow or maybe even in this season’s finale.
(9.7/10) - This episode was phenomenal from start to finish and is certainly one I will remember for being dark, very well written and powerful. Michonne has been quite a prominent character in previous seasons, but has slowly become less involved in the different storylines, so this was a much needed insight into recent events from her perspective.
In this episode, rather than Alpha and her group of Whisperers, an old friend of Michonne’s, named Jocelyn, served as the primary antagonist, along with a whole group of survivors (primarily children) who were accompanying her. I really enjoyed this concept of Michonne trying to find herself and her children. Also, the dialogue between her and Judith was very meaningful.
I particularly enjoyed the scene where Negan gets a visit from Michonne and they discuss Judith and how Negan has been telling her stories about Rick and Carl’s past. I am glad that they haven’t been forgotten and to be fair I still believe that Rick may be alive.
In the next episode, I am hoping to find out what has happened to Morgan, Maggie and/or Jadis as these characters haven’t really been spoken about recently, which is making me increasingly intrigued to find out what their situations are.
Episode 14 ended with a Whisperer duo peeking through the bushes only to find a group of Alexandrians arriving at the Kingdom, where they were preparing for the fair. If they really do inform Alpha of the gathering of the communities, then I have a great feeling about the next episode as it could be pretty magnificent, but I am very fearful for our characters. The Highwaymen are also clearly a threat so let’s see where Episode 15 takes us…
The most phenomenal episode that I will ever watch… almost certain of it
I am confused, shocked, crying and I love it :sweat_smile::joy:
Aaaaahhhhh! Oh my god!!!! No!!!!!!! WhaATTTT?
“You’re just a cheap fucking knock off.”
“I’m the upgrade” - Homelander
Beautiful… just absolutely fucking beautiful
“But together… they’re the goddam fucking spice girls”
"I didn't kill anyone... they died of terminal stupidity"
"Wait is that... cheesy video guy?"
"God is not here anymore."
(8.4/10) - This episode was the first of the episodes so far to feel as intense and alive as the pilot. Both ‘Two Dead Men’ and ‘Kandahar’ were much slower and dialogue-heavy episodes that kept me hooked, but probably could have been cut slightly shorter due to lack of forward moving plot (which is understandable due to the flashback sequences and crime-drama elements.)
‘Resupply’ properly introduces the comedic and intriguing relationship between Frank and David, with most of the episode focusing on their mission to retrieve a bunch of weapons from a Greek army.
I also liked the fact that the sub-plot in this episode had the same storyline as the main plot, as both teams were attempting to locate and successfully steal the guns.
Overall, this was a gripping, compelling and thoroughly entertaining piece of television!
(8.4/10) - This episode provided us with a highly anticipated detailed insight into Frank's twisted and dark past, that forced him to become who he is and shaped his future. The whole story was well written, with some thought-provoking dialogue between our characters and obviously a couple of intense action sequences. Not only did we get to see what Castle's life was like as a war vet/oblivious hitman, but we also got some decent scenes where Frank was interrogating David Lieberman/Micro and then, similarly to the previous episode, the tables turned and Micro was able to get answers and persuade The Punisher to join forces with him.
I really enjoyed the sub-plots as well, with Lewis, who was also unaware of the hell he had gotten himself into. I felt very sympathetic towards his character and thoroughly hope that he can have a positive future, depending on which path he is going to take, however based on the advice he was given by O'Connor, and the fact that he could have shot his dad, things don't look too promising at the moment.
Overall, this was a nice improvement on 'Episode 2: Two Dead Men' and I look forward to exploring the lives of both Lewis and Russo, but also seeing the interesting dynamic between Frank and David and finding out whether Lieberman's idea and visions are realistic and he's not some sort of villain.
