Turned this episode off halfway through, and not sure if I'll go back to it. I actually had some fun with this show in Season 1, but the writing has gotten so bad now that I genuinely don't know what they were thinking.
Weird.
They don't know - or seemingly really care - who they're working for. In fact, they're ready to do some treason if it comes to that. They just love the risk I guess. They're spies but even they don't know what side they're on... kinda seems like that'd be important.
Oh, and whoever they're working for clearly doesn't care if they die or get burnt. Because, let's be honest, the show could basically end here. They were seen delivering a package and then running from the scene of an explosion. By dozens of witnesses and probably a good number of cameras. All because the mysterious company didn't even bother fully informing them?
There's potential here but I guess I have to suspend my disbelief and watch this more like a comedy. Which, well, it's not that funny.
I was a little annoyed with the direction they went in with Spider, but that ending... that's the good stuff!
Poor George. Blowing up a nuke is really hard and frustrating as it turns out!
Not really sure what the point is? His secret will be out after the reset. And detonating in the countryside, is that even enough for a reset? Not sure if he's capable of thinking literally more than one step ahead.
As to why Lazarus trusts George so blindly... no idea. He has this "gift" I suppose. Is that all you need for complete unmitigated trust, even above long standing agents?
For a show that takes itself so seriously, the writing is so deeply unserious.
I say this out of love because I think this show is so close to greatness, and it feels like they keep shooting themselves in the foot with poor scriptwriting. Really disappointing. What a shame.
They fucked up. They took this risk. They disregarded the warnings. While their pain and suffering is real, and it makes for a compelling story, their decisions afterwards make no sense.
Why is it everyone's fault but their own? How is causing death and destruction across dozens of timelines a reasonable solution for anything?
Really disappointing. Not a single character's decision making makes actual sense. Not to mention the absolute stupidity of changing billions of lives, killing millions of unborn children and wreaking cosmic havoc just to save one person - even though your actions will mean you will never have peace in any timeline ever again.
Your body is a shell now. But your ghost? It's still inside! You're like... a ghost... in the shell!
Beautiful movie. Awful writing.
Honestly, disappointing. It's a well made show, but the writing? Sheesh. They do things because they're "cool"; not because they make sense.
Nothing interesting happened. What did happen, was fairly predictable and completely nonsensical.
Why would the Croat just blow up and surrender this stadium? They have safety, electricity, a near-infinite access to fuel and even fuel production facilities. They have patrol routes, traps, a food supply, even some luxury and entertainment. Everything you might want.
But he heard Negan is in the city, so, eh, let's just rig the base with explosives and abandon it when he shows up. Why? Did y'all forget it's the apocalypse?
And then the characters just standing there in awe, incredibly confused, while explosion after explosion go off. You'd think survivors this late in the game would have a bit more sense. They were already suspicious when they found the place empty, and just made zero attempt to find an escape route or make a move until it was way too late.
Oh, and the marshal, after having his life saved by Negan? He's hurt. He's far from home. His friends are dead. Bad guys might be coming. But yeah, no, the priority right now has to be bringing his savior to justice (death). Sure. OK man. Normal human response.
