What's Been Lost

Sometimes I simply forget to keep watching this show. I get distracted by something pause it for a minute and forget to come back to it, that's how uncompelling the story is. It's not "edge of the seat what's going to happen next" stuff, it's background wallpaper couldn't care less loops and whistles.

Nothing is of any consequence and they seem to be jumping through the same hoops they've done 100 times before, and really if there's nothing new in this show, why are they thinking we'll keep watching it?

Is it because we've become the zombies, brain dead returning to the scenes of our former lives, expecting to get fed but we're not getting any brains.

This episode had the usual line up of unbelievable set ups, and a large dose of incongruous plot concoctions. Yumiko's going to lead a courtroom drama now? Really?

There was one decent scene with Daryl, Carol, and Lance where they discussed his options coldly. But everything else added nothing to a the compelling story we so desperately need to get us to the end of this series.

4 more episodes and it's over. Definitely a whimper rather than a bang, it won't be the huge disappointment of game of throne which at least had the decency to be good up till the last season and I think we all know they've long since run out of ideas on this show so it's not really a surprise. But how bad is it going to be? Will they even make it to a cohesive finish line at all?

My expectations are very very low.

Carol and Daryl manage to escape Pamela's goons and break Lance out, knowing that he's the only one that can lead them to their missing friends. Finding a zombified Sebastian in Lance's cell, Daryl puts him down. At the same time, Pamela blackmails Yumiko into being the prosecutor in Eugene's show trial, promising to take Yumiko to her friends if she does and threatening Tomi as well to ensure her compliance. Yumiko is torn about what to do, but Eugene, who has accepted his possible fate, encourages Yumiko to have faith in their friends. After learning of Daryl, Carol and Lance's escape, Yumiko reminds the Commonwealth of how invaluable Tomi is before making the stunning public announcement that Pamela is unjustly persecuting Eugene, and Yumiko will be acting as Eugene's defense attorney instead of his prosecutor. After evading a herd and soldiers, Lance reveals that the missing people are being used as slave labor on a project to extend the Commonwealth's reach across the continent and that there's a supply train that they can follow. Fed up with Lance's manipulations and no longer needing his help, Daryl and Carol give Lance the chance to go into exile, but he draws a gun on them, prompting Carol to kill Lance with an arrow.

Episode 20, "What's Been Lost," of "The Walking Dead" Season 11 serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit amidst relentless adversity. This episode masterfully balances the narrative between the search for lost relics of the past and the quest for redemption, making it a standout addition to the season. The episode's title not only alludes to the physical quest undertaken by key characters but also metaphorically represents the intangible aspects of humanity that have been eroded or forgotten in the wake of the apocalypse.

The central storyline revolves around a perilous journey to retrieve an item critical to the survival and morale of the community. This mission, fraught with danger and emotional turmoil, showcases the resilience and determination of the characters. Noteworthy is how "What's Been Lost" delves into the psyche of its characters, exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of hope in a seemingly hopeless world. The episode is punctuated with moments of intense vulnerability, where characters confront their past actions and their consequences, revealing layers of complexity and humanity.

Critically, the episode shines in its ability to intertwine the personal narratives with the overarching story of survival against the undead. The scenic cinematography and atmospheric tension enhance the storytelling, creating an immersive viewing experience. However, the episode is not without its flaws. At times, the pacing stumbles, struggling to maintain momentum through some of the more introspective scenes. Despite this, "What's Been Lost" triumphs in its thematic exploration and character development, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. The episode concludes on a note of bittersweet optimism, setting a precedent for the episodes to follow and leaving viewers contemplative of the true cost of survival in the world of "The Walking Dead."

Love the last Episodes von the third part of the season

They need a big banger in the next episode, where everything falls apart, the commonwealth needs to be destroyed and a set-up for the big finale

Man i hope they dont rush things like in Game Of Thrones or something .....

The Ending has to be Satisfying, please, please

Carol is talking to Ezekiel at the bakery where she works, when he vanishes. Then she is attacked by two men, but she succeeds to escape. She seeks out Daryl and finds him fighting a man. Then they realize that everybody from their group has been kidnapped and are missing, even Dog. Carol believes that Hornsby may know here their friends are. Meanwhile, Pamela threatens Yumiko, using her brother Tomi, to force her to prosecute Eugene. Daryl and Carol subdue the soldiers in the jail and release Hornsby, who agrees to show where their friends are. They leave Commonwealth and after many problems along their journey, Carol and Darul learn from Hornsby that there is a train working to connect communities and their friends probably are there.

"What's Been Lost" is another great episode of "The Walking Dead". Yumiko does not disappoint and protects Eugene, against the will of Pamela. The fate of the scum Hornsby was expected to happen, in one of the best moments of the show. The action of the journey of Carol and Hornsby is entertaining. The twist with the train in the end of the episode is a big surprise. A question: how a man like Mercer, who is responsible for the soldiers of Commonwealth, was not aware of this train and the movement of his troopers? My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "What's Been Lost"

Yumiko was allone with Pamela. Why not just stab her? Tell me how that wouldn't be the end of the entire arc. Or atleast in the way we now know it.

I'm a hardcore fan of twd, and don't come here to spam hate on twd.

But I am a bit concerned in regards to the ending of the show :/ I do think as the final arc, Pamela and lance have been a bit underwhelming. I never thought the Commonwealth seemed expansive and big enough. I get that they're on a budget but... It just doesn't seem like a threat the group couldn't handle to me.

I think they've made it hard on themselfs to pull of a good ending, having original characters missing, and multiple spinn offs to set up. Angela Kang said it would have been very different if not for those 2 factors.

I'm not sure where it's going from here, which feels weird considering it's the finale of a 12 year running show. This arc hasn't worked as wel, as it did for the comics in my opinion. But Í still have hope.
