Breathe with Me

This was singlehandedly the most flat and boring episode of the series. Not only does Mo Collins fail to lead this episode, the writers acknowledge the fact she can't carry the episode so they bring in another actor for her to hang with throughout the episode in search of the long lost Wendell.

My question is: who cares? These characters have never been developed or made the audience invested in them whatsoever so... why should we care? Why spend a whole hour episode on a character literally no one wanted in the first place?

This reminds of TWD's "Swear."

This episode focused on Sarah which is something I didn't expect since she's never seemed like a lead character to me, but I think what they did worked decently enough.

The concept of a bounty hunter working with her to find her brother is interesting and Josiah seems really cool (but also just acknowledgement they killed off Emile too soon). I hope the theories of him being the same Josiah from Abraham and Eugene's group are true.

The fight scenes and scenery in this episode were also top notch. Morgan vs Josiah was amazing.

I will say I was disappointed with how Sarah's group was just escorted right outside of the radiation zone without any real answers about the CRM. I'm hoping eventually Morgan gets answers and him and Al are taken away to be in the movies. Alicia should be leading this show anyway.

Also my current prediction is that Strand is lying and doesn't have Wendell, I'm guessing Sarah will eventually find his walker.

Regardless this episode wasn't too bad, maybe just a bit unrealistic especially with Josiah. Super excited for Dwight's episode next though!

Considering how horrible the first three Episodes of this Season have been, it's amazing they got this one right.

The first three Episodes have some of the Worst and Most Boring Dialogue we've heard in the Entire Series and the featured characters were as Dull as Dishwater.

This Episode was fast moving, and the new character Demetrius has potential and you wonder why the other Episodes this Season were so bad.

What the Writers and Management should do is turn each of the Ridiculously Large and Boring Members of the Cast into Zombies one by one. Focus on a Core Group of 6-8 Talented Remaining Members and get rid of the Rest.

Evil power hungry Strand. Dictator cap and jacket to boot. Seems the writers have run out of ideas for the next bad foe to go against so they make one of the group the villain. Why should Strand have such enmity toward Morgan, to the point of trying to kill him in the submarine? He now takes evil delight in denying certain people entrance to the tower. He even has the stereotypical devoted underling at his side trying to look menacing. It's almost laughable.

There are a lot of coincidences on Fear. Necessary no doubt to move the story along. Morgan popping up in the nick of time in this ep and so many others. The real WTF moment came when the truck Sara and Josiah was in flew down a fifty foot mountainside and landed grill first on the ground. No injuries at all. They weren't even wearing seat belts.

Reminded me of the Saturday serials at local theatres back before tv in the 40's. At the end of each episode Batman ,in this care, would be in a harrowing situation. Trapped in an airplane in one episode that showed B M struggling to get loose,, then boom, the plane exploded. No way could he have survived, but the next Saturday when the show started B M had a lot more time to get loose than they made it look like in the preceding episode. Those Serials were cheap as heck and terribly acted.

At the end of the episode I was seriously expecting violins to start playing - yes, it was that lame. Lots of things that were so illogical that I don't want to waste my time enumerating. I hope this season will be the last, and that's a pity given that the season 6 was possibly the best season of the whole franchise, that is until they decided to go forward with this nuclear blast storyline. Nuclear blast and Teddy just killed the whole show.
