What Happened and What's Going On

I don't understand why Mr. Lincoln aka Rick said this is the best episode of all time. None of this meets the expectations of a true walking dead fan/follower.

Then series that started with lot of promise story , drama and visual effects has now turned into a soap opera with more than half seasons in a season being used for character development.

Only one thing happens in this episode as far as story is concerned. There is little drama with few tears and a recite from the bible. I loved the slow motion walker kill cool shots . This episode in particular shows how an attentive character with lot of strength can't escape a sneaky walker.

Dear director , please make a move with the story.

Overall rating 6/10

Never has an episode of TWD been so perfectly put together.

While the themes of "let's find a new home" and "home never last" have been drilled into our minds beyond belief at this point in the series, their constant reminder throughout this episode was done so in a way never seen before and never so perfectly. We saw images instead of video. Rusted filters to remind us of what was. A character so perfectly examined and picked apart, that their layers could be discussed for time to come.

It was one of the boldest moves in all of television to go with the surreal, almost psychedelic style that the episode did and a true example of what the show is and can become. The credits for this one have to go to Bear McCreary for a masterful score, whoever edited it together, Greg Nicotero for once again directing a classic episode but doing so in such a new and innovative way, and Scott Gimple for continuing to take risks and change up the most popular show on television all in the name of achieving a great product.

This may not stand as the greatest TWD episode of all time (although pretty damn close), but it stands for something else entirely. It stands for its greatest triumph. To continue to evolve this series in such a way is a gift to viewers. While it is doubtful (and frankly impossible) the rest of the season will be conducted in this certain manner, this episode alone can stand as a benchmark for what the show is capable of...all time greatness.

Poetically tragic episode

I genuinely don't understand the ratings this episode has, an 8 I can understand but anything below that is just wrong.

An absolute beautifully tragic episode filled with great story telling and acting. Obviously Tyrese, Chad L. Coleman stole the show this was without a doubt his episode and he shined.

Tyrese was never really my favorite character but he was great with the time he had. Definitely one of the strongest and my personal favorite episodes in The Walking Dead series. A mid-season premiere that really stuck with me.

IMDb: 10/10 Letterboxd: 5/5

Watched on Blu-ray.

People complain that this is bad as a season opener(it released later but it's the middle part of the season so no)and that it didn't have the TWD vibe to it but this episode was really great and underrated.

The grief and all the sadness with a beautiful calm take on TWD was really great and the story was perfectly put together. Really great and underrated episode but people just want more action than this I guess.

This episode does not deserve a bad rating. And I really don't get why people say this is bad while this is one of the perfectly put up episodes and no wonder Lincoln also said that this was the best ep.

This is a very unique episode. The storytelling is rather different and the "Last-of-Us"-like atmosphere is just amazing. This episode is quite silent and has a lot of psychological elements. It's really really REALLY sad as well. I understand people who say "Nothing happened and nothing was going on", because it's not comparable with other episodes of this show. Kind of funny, because that should be a 10/10 rating reason...

This episode left me really speechless. It feels so good and well-made, I can't even describe it. The acting is intense, especially Noah and Tyreese are amazing. Great editing and directing as well. Keep it up, AMC!
