The Last Time

This episode was by far the best episode of all of the walking dead !

Great excitement, great conclusion, and Rick was amazing It appeared much more than just a 6-episode mini-series and was more captivating and thrilling than the final seasons of the original series.

This episode delivers all the expectations you have from it and you will enjoy watching it in the best possible way! Rick is the same Rick Grimes we saw in season 5 of the original series, and this was the best version of Rick that we were waiting to see!

Overall, there isn't much to criticize about this mini-series, it turned out to be much more than just a mini-series!

This finale was surprisingly good and was a nice although a bit rushed and "too easy" conclusion for Rick and Michonne's mini-series.

I am satisfied with how this finale wrapped things up, even though there were parts that didn't really sit well with me.

First the goods: We finally get the Echelon Briefing after all the teasing throughout the season, and I gotta say, I'm not disappointed with the briefing at all. I think they gave a logical and reasonable motive to Beale. Someone said he's just the villain for the sake of being the villain, but I don't think his reasons are any less complicated and nuanced than other famous villains of TWD's peak. Sure, they didn't really dive into his character, like at all, till this episode. But for me at least, I think don't he's that cartoonishly evil of a villain.

The ending is really emotional and for a second I thought they didn't actually hire the actress for some reason and it would've been disastrous, but thankfully they brought her back.

Overall it's an enjoyable finale that I can't really be mad at that much as it was a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the series. I can't really think of other positives since I just finished the episode. But I liked the finale.

Now to the parts I didn't really find to be that well done: It is after all rushed a bit since they need to establish Beale, give us the Briefing, and end the story in the same episode. Nevertheless, it is rushed, but it's not D+ MCU finale rushed!

I thought the fight scenes were well done but unremarkable, and they ended way too soon. Though the elevator one was pretty good, especially the ending. And I know these two are just killing machines at this point, but I think everything went way too easy for them in this episode.

The way they defeat CRM is way too easy and it's weird how there are zero guards or troopers in that tent. You'd think at least one would be standing outside of the tent maybe? The way they write these scenes is to just end the story as soon as possible. They threw the obstacles in the scenes before so they wouldn't have to give logical reasons as to why such an important tent would be so empty.

They didn't really explain how the Civic Republic gained the knowledge of what CRM was doing. I guess they found documents and stuff somewhere else, but felt way too quick like they fast-forwarded so we could move on from the CRM storyline quickly.

There are a couple of laughably cringey lines about love in here that I don't know how they wrote them with a straight face. I always hate this "love is good and saves us all" and all that stuff in the finale of movies and shows. Especially when they're written this way. So I couldn't help to laugh at the dialogue between Thorne and Michonne.

It's way too melodramatic and soap opera-y. They did a good job with the romance in episode 4, but after that, all the romance feels way too melodramatic and cringey.

Overall, it's a pretty good finale but a perfect one. It's not too rushed or bad-written to make you mad, it's just a fine ending that's on par with the rest of the show.

This series has just completely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The episode as a whole if anything else I would give a 9 to but It's the finale and the ending of the episode had me in tears. Once again Andrew Lincoln knocks it out of the park with his performance. I wonder if the walking dead never happened how many good movies or other tv shows he would have been involved in because he is just that good of an actor. All the flashbacks of certain moments of the series were awesome and makes me want to rewatch the original series again for the 3rd time. I'm sad it's over but the story of the ones who live was perfectly paced and writing that I can only hope for a season 2 that matches this one or no other ones at all. Thanks for making this universe Robert Kirkman and whoever else was involved it has brought me so much happiness!

Episode 6 was such a beautiful way to wrap things up , sure there are those usual plot and loopholes but despite all that Episode 6 is the kinda stuff and thangs I want to watch , and the writers gave me the exact stuff and thangs I wanted , so thank you showrunners. Thank you Andy , Danai , Pollyanna, And everyone else involved in the making of one of the greatest miniseries ever made , this show is AMC'S 4th or 5th magnum opus, TOWL revived cable tv , I could go on for hours praising the writing and stuff and thangs. But seriously, this was one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time, so thank you again.

69/5 100.

Ps. This is my letterboxd review Deputy_Mankey.

This was perfect from beginning to end. From the writing to the cinematography to the acting. It wasn't rushed. Seeing Rick and Michonne getting the (potential) ending they deserve was heartwarming although I could be wrong seeing that there are other spin offs we could see them again.

I do hope I'm wrong because if they do have a second season as good as this one I wouldn't complain. I'm happy I started watching this again. If you jumped ship like me during seasons 7-8 that makes sense because they were horrid but to be honest the last three seasons of the original and the 3 latest spin offs are incredible.
