Bye

Why does Rick not tell Michonne what is going on? He doesn't explain why he's afraid for her life, why he can't go with her. He just expects her to leave without question after she spent so long looking for him. He doesn't tell her about Jadis and when she sees Jadis he tries to brush it off as nothing. What is he so afraid of?

I do like the story and I think they've done a decent job explaining why he never made it home to them. But now Rick needs to explain everything to Michonne before both of them are killed. Explain why they can't just kill Jadis and why they can't run away. Right now Rick sees no way out and so he's trying to save Michonne, but I don't get the whole Harry and the Hendersons approach where he tries to make her think he doesn't love her anymore.

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.

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.

Episode 3, "Bye," is really where the story starts to pick up, with no more flashbacks, besides the two flashbacks in the beginning, of course. However, besides those, this episode takes place in the present timeline.

I want to start by saying that Jadis is an absolutely awesome villain. It's the first time in a long time where I have actually been invested in a villain from The Walking Dead. The last few seasons of TWD and Fear TWD have had some of the most bland and boring villains, and it never really felt like they were a threat to the main cast of the shows. But Jadis actually feels like a villain that can really mess some things up, and that's exciting and very stressful. Pollyanna McIntosh really does an excellent job at playing Jadis.

It's amazing to see Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira together again after so long; they haven't lost their touch. I also want to mention Terry O'Quinn and Lesley-Ann Brandt; they are both excellent.

"Bye" is an excellent episode with some fun and shocking twists, and the action is amazing too, just like episodes 1 and 2. The ending is also very exciting; I did not think it was going to go the way it did. It's setting up for some very interesting plotlines, so I am very excited to see where the rest of the season is going.

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!
