    Back on Track

    Daryl leads the Alexandria´s survivors to Hilltop through a swamp. While he goes with Rosita, Siddiq and a few other Alexandrians to destroy walkers to give free passage to the other survivors, Tara stays with Dwight protecting them. However Tara wants to kill Dwight jeopardizing the group. Meanwhile Gabriel and Dr. Carson are fleeing from the Saviors and Gabriel is becoming blind, testing his faith in god. In Hilltop, Maggie needs to ration the limited supplies among the locals and the prisoners. Eugene gives an idea to Negan to defeat Hilltop.

    "Dead or Alive Or" is another great episode of "The Walking Dead" that seems to be back on track after the awful beginning of the season. Daryl´s segment is tense with the walkers and the friction of Tara with Dwight. Gabriel and Dr. Carlson is also a good segment. Eugene is probably the most despicable character of this series and together with the psychopath Negan make the Saviors dangerous. In Hilltop. Maggie is doing OK with her tough but fair attitudes. My vote is eight.

    Dead Or Alive. Or Some Kind Of S#1T In Between.

    Needs More Carol & Daryl

    This show has been missing the mark lately (with the exception of the previous episode). It's not so much of an "all out war" but rather slow dialogue and little plot progression. There simply needs to be more of the excitement that made the show popular in the first place.

    Really 8.7/10 but that's not an option.

    Pretty good episode. 8B is already pounds better than 8A so that's a plus. The Gabriel stuff was kind of silly but still entertaining to watch. Most of the episode felt like the plot was progressing which was good, although I found most progression at the very end. I'm happy that they did not use any of those godawful zoom in shots from the last episode because they really do not look good. My only complaints were the swamp sequenced did feel a little bit standstill until they finally got to Hilltop and the Dwight/Tara stuff happened. Speaking of Tara, she is the worst. I get that Dwight did some screwed up stuff to the people of Alexandria, but he would be much better alive. Negan again stole all of his scenes, but at this point I'm not surprised. I think that dipping Lucille in guts is just the start, and they're gonna be doing a lot more. Overall, 8.7/10

    • Trivia
      For safety purposes, a harness was placed inside Judith's carrier. Jason Douglas (Tobin) created a game with the young actress to make getting in and out of it fun.
    • Goofs
      This season takes place about three years after the initial outbreak, at this point most medications, especially antibiotics and opioid painkillers like morphine, that are not stored properly (in a cool, dark, dry room) would have lost most of their potency and would be useless. The pills on the floor of that room Gabriel finds were exposed to sunlight and fluctuating temperatures and humidity over a period of years, which will cause most medications to decay rapidly. If properly stored most medications can actually last for years beyond the expiration date, FDA guidelines for stockpiled medications stored properly says most medications are safe to use 6 years past their expiration date. So at this point in time the only medications that would still have any clinical effect would be ones that were stored in an air tight, pitch black, temperature controlled room.
    • Quotes

      Negan: I'm disappointed, Eugene. This crap was supposed to be behind us. Two flushes and out the pipe. Top it all off, my only doctor and that creepy-ass priest somehow managed to jump ship without anybody knowing about it. You have any idea how something like that could happen, Eugene?

      Dr. Eugene Porter: No, I would not venture to guess.

      Negan: Carson was never one of us. He was a weasel, just like his weasel brother. That's my best stab at it.

      Dr. Eugene Porter: Drawing together associations and behaviors, that's a solid stab.
