Very creative. Lol

 

Season 4 was a masterpiece compared to this one.

 

I LOVE the negative ratings in this poll. The way the episodes are going this season, i can see one being rated that soon,

 

I was prepared to give this a 1 on the old format, but now that we're into the negatives I had to go with -1. That conflict at the end was like something out of a soap opera. All of Logan's people are immediately shot dead but none of our "heroes" are hit. Then we have a ridiculous standoff that is concluded with Luciana offering herself to the Clown Cowboy Posse. So she has the ability to refine gasoline now? Has she furthered her education at Zombie Apocalypse University?

What a mess. Not that Logan's group was particularly interesting, but you don't build them up for a full season to just wipe them out and insert new villains in their place. This show is terrible. Any random fan fiction would be better than what we're being subjected to now.

 

For consistency reasons, I gave this 3/10. It was still a little better than the last few 2/10 episodes, even if very bad and completely dumb.

The good:
- Logan and his crew's dead
- Luciana found a day-job and might leave us alone (for a while at least, no doubt they'll find her again hidden under a rock next year)
- Not much else

The bad:
- These new villains are ridiculous, it's the unsexy version of Bandidas.
- The whole refining oil thing
- Someone here made me believe Sarah was dying this week. **** that.

The ugly:
- Was there a day to night transition during a commercial break?!
- In the show of coincidences (Morgan, Dwight, Luciana, Daniel), those twin Mile 65 calls were just perfect - felt like a 6th grader's attempt at teaching morals.
- Every interaction from this group with "villains" is absolutely moronic. "Stop or I'll shoot you" / "You won't shoot me" / "Yeah you're right, I couldn't live with the remorse! Let me just kneel down instead"

 

So Long, Farewell, is an irresistible choice because of the repetitive nature.

 

I’m giving it a 4, but only because Logan is dead.


The truth is out there

 

I love the ratings system. Very clever.
Setting aside any expectations, realism and ignoring major continuity issues, I liked this episode...well...more than most this season. Some actual storytelling and tension.
They surprised me with Logan's death. I was really expecting Sarah to die. Although her part in the story was interesting in this episode, at least.
I like Wes and I'm happy he's back.
I had to laugh when Strand and Alicia were heading to help that woman and the truck stop, she asks what's wrong and he says "the inevitable". I felt like he was speaking to the show as a whole rather than the immediate situation.
Annie Oakley is creepy, ruthless and annoying. An Alpha/Negan hybrid. Points to them for being smart enough to use horses instead of vehicles, but those outfits?!
A definite positive was leaving Luciana at the oil fields. They've neutered her character so much that I can't stand watching her anymore. Did the new villains kill the two guys working at the fields? If not, then why do they even need Luci? Oh right. Because, aside from magically learning how to repair planes, she's now an expert on refining oil. And if these people are always watching and listening to the group, why would they need Logan to find these fields in the first place? I guess to have someone else do their dirty work?
The rest of them ought to head back to the convoy, gas up and just leave the area.
But they won't.
I'm thinking that maybe at least Dwight, Salazar, maybe Strand? and perhaps that girl who's the head of the children's brigade may have a change of heart with the introduction of these new villains. That kid seems to still have some fight left in her. I don't think she's a full fledged Morganite. And maybe Wes too. He still appears to be a bit more realistic.
That woman at the truck stop should be able to give them some key information about these people. Unless she was planted there to infiltrate them, but I don't think so?
And if this group is so big, how have they not run into them before? With all the driving around they do, that seems pretty unlikely.
So what's next?
Alicia and Wes paint happy little trees together?
Morgan undergoes another drastic personality change?
All things considered, I'm going to stand on my little island and give this one a 5.
Compared to the rest of the season, at least this one had some compelling moments.
Maybe it's just because it gave me an hour's break from watching my Steelers get rammed by my least favorite football team.

 

I voted -1, if Logan hadn't been killed the rating would have been -3.

 

I actually liked the episode until dear Logan was popped out.

Was the rescued girl Al's girlfriend ?

 

Which reminds me of something I didn't include in my original review of the episode, the actor who plays Logan had a terrible delivery of his lines when he was blaming Sarah for him taking the path that he did. The script for all of that was pretty bad, but the acting was awful too.

 

I think we can assume that the only people dumb enough to keep on with this show don't have the brains to realize that it's not only very bad, but an insult to the TWD original series (which isn't always that bright either, but still a million miles from this).

And then there's us. Probably not very bright either, and not voting on RT.

 

I feel like it's been done before, but can't remember where.

 

RT? Whatever it is, it is nuts.
