Bye

This episode turns out to be quite steadily consistent, in terms of quality. Every single scene does not go out wasted, and have all sorts of plot points that eventually ties up to whole plot in general, which makes the ending of the episode - or rather the concept of it at least - quite more narratively natural and impactful.

Aside from Andy and Danai, who strives as fierce as before, I gotta say, I love Pollyana McIntosh. Her acting shines along with her character, which went from ehh in season 7 to eyy here. I mean, who would expect a non-comic character that came off as weird initially would turn out to be the biggest potential threat to everyone in the TWDU, without the character progression turning out to be jarring and unrealistic?

Lesley-Ann Brandt is great too playing as Thorne. She sure is a much more intriguing character we've ever had for a while. Gotta appreciate the effort the writing crew put in their characters.

So, thus far, out of all the first three episodes, this is the weakest certainly, but oh my how good it stiil is. Now I really can't wait for the last three episodes!

I am truly unsure what to make of this episode. I wish they would give us some clarity on who knows what. Its hard to read the characters.

I've seen at least three reviews where people said this was the best episode yet. This is BY FAR the worst of the 3, or the least awesome i should say.

This episode has a lingering annoyance that has stuck with me. Otherwise it was pretty entertaining.

The thing that has me wondering is, this is only a 6 episode limited series. Given the number of episodes left, i imagine there will be clarity given very soon.

What I hope to God they don't do is another one of these final episodes where everything comes to light. Its been done several times over and everytime i see it now it only gets worse and worse. (I'm referring to tv/film and D-bag hollywood in general). The filmmaking becomes lazy and derivative and TWD has been pretty stellar to date.

(although i was not able to watch the DD series or the M&N series, so I can't speak to their quality, but I hear they are worth the watch)

Having said that, I felt FTWD was utterly horrendous, so this series could have a big drop off ahead of us. Its impossible to know where these stories are going so I assume this was the precursor to the token bridge episode. (That is not a euphamism of a euphamism, i mean it

All in all it was done quite well. Everything was shot well, all the parts played. It was just the writing of this episode that really irked me.

Entertainment value 6/10 Overall rating 8/10.

It was quite exquisite and tasty. Fantastical episode that made me plumpy and fulfilled. Jeez Louise The Walking Dead! You've really showed us who you really are! They came out from the darkness of this fallen franchise! I'm never gonna cry for the rest of my days! This is straight up some lean! Type beat! I just hope that they continue to plumpen me with this amazing content! And oh yeah! Keep up those magical make out scenes! They really make you feel the characters connections! Keep doing them please! I think they are the best character building for each character! Please keep it up the walking dead!

Jadis is the hero with not the best haircut, Rick is a bit right XD. This scene was the best in the whole series so far and no one will change my opinion. Every scene with Jadis and Rick is brilliant. Nice that we are getting more answers. The slowest episode of all three that came out, but it's typical of TWD that the beginning and end shine and the middle has to do the dirty work of laying everything out and the pace of the action suffers a bit. Worst of the first three episodes, but better than any episode from all the other spinoffs, not counting the one about Daryl. That is, in short, the weakest so far, but the series is so good that even its weakest moments are still very good.

Years have truly Gone "Bye", the third episode has Rick and Michonne together, partly. With the final scene of the previous episode, showing Jadis blackmailing Rick, I just felt we were going to be down a road of an episode full of tension and suspension. This episode has all that along with so much more, powerful storytelling and character drama. The episode is emotional and the theme of hope is done brilliantly here, how easy it is to lose it. How much a person can change and what that person will do for the safety of others, in this way, Rick Grimes. It's not often we see Rick scared and it's contagious, as we become scared as well.

The cast and characters for this episode are; Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne, Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis Stokes, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Pearl Thorne, and Terry O'Quinn as General Beale. With new cast members being Julian Cihi as Benjiro and Tessa Slovis as Cleo Clifton.

The episode's premise: While pretending to be strangers, Rick and Michonne search for a way to survive under the eyes of the Civic Republic Military.

This week's episode of TWD: The Ones Who Live "Bye" was directed by Michael Slovis and written by Gabriel Llanas & Matthew Negrete, the direction and visual storytelling were excellent, and what I found interesting was how Matthew Negrete co-wrote the script and if you don't recognize the name, he was the showrunner on World Beyond which was a below average show but the world building and story with the CRM in its second (final) season was quite compelling. There's also no Gimple speech, overall great dialogue. The screenplay for "Bye" was incredible! Back to the direction and visual storytelling, Michael Slovis who has directed a few episodes of The Walking Dead and a couple of other well known shows was the right choice to helm episode 3 and the upcoming fourth episode. He handles every scene with perfection, making sure there are brilliant shots as well as the actors are doing their finest work, which they are. The premise doesn't lie, although it's hard to see these characters (Rick and Michonne) act like strangers around each other for the majority of the episode it's just interesting to see because of the performances Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira do in the episode. The latter of them doesn't get as much material as in the previous episode, yet the subtle details around her performance makes it perfect nonetheless. I would like to say Andrew Lincoln has the best performance in this episode but that's not entirely right, because of Lesley-Ann Brandt who gets the MVP. Pearl Thorne became the show's best character (after the two leads) in how complex and likable she is, you might react with the word "likable" but it's because of how human she is thanks to the portrayal and writing but also because of how easy it is to sympathize with her, the dialogue about how she sees Rick as her family was priceless. I also really like the scenes with Rick and Jadis, with her acting as the show's antagonist. Andrew Lincoln acts superbly throughout the episode with us viewers noticing how sad and emotional he is, how he contemplates his actions and the large range of emotions he brings in the scenes.

The production design and art direction is terrific, so is the mise-en-scene and cinematography for the show. The musical score is something I haven't commented about but it's spectacular. The increased budget makes for better production design and visual effects, overall making a better show in every department along with the actors. There's a action sequence pretty late in the episode which was fantastic, something to look forward to! If you compare Philadelphia with the Commonwealth, you see how small the latter was in comparison, and I mean how they make it look. Both settlements are big, but this just feels bigger. The storyline of CRM is handled brilliantly, so is the individual character arcs and major story arc. With only three episodes left, I think we don't have to worry about quality dropping. This episode was superb from start to finish.
