...I Lose Myself

I understand that this is fiction...it's about zombies for Christ sake...But there is so much inconsistency, so many bad decisions by the characters and so much of...well... Morgan...This show, continuously insults our intelligence...and it's getting tiresome...They have to do something about the dialogues and the dexisit making or there is no future... I shall remain hopeful for one more season...

What an explosive and eventful season finale! I consider myself a fan of season 4 and I enjoyed this final ride as much as I've enjoyed the previous chapters.

I think the viewers really need to appreciate this new band of brothers, this amazing group: Every single one is likeable and even sketchy Wendell and Sarah are now two of my favorites. June's hopeful character developed so well and John Dorie is always a delight to watch, his actor is amazing! Althea finds herself in a predicament this episode and her survival-skills are stunning. It's entertaining to watch her fighting off walkers in the city! Her character is also a breath of fresh air in this franchise. I might get hate for this, but I've never liked or loved FTWD's core group. Sometimes they all felt shady and selfish and some decisions were just plain awful. In season 3, however, a lot changed and in season 4 almost everything changed - for many viewers it changed in a very bad way... I enjoy it throughout!

What I liked about this episode: The group is TOGETHER. I remember how I cheered up when the group came to rescue Momo in the previous episode. I had the same good feeling while watching the finale. The group-action in TWD and FTWD is always good and fun to watch. Though I'm a fan of well-done bottled episodes, I enjoy the "we-are-in-this-together"-episodes most. I also enjoyed the direction of the Virginia-story and I think the majority will love it as well!

What I didn't like about this episode: It's way too short. Some scenes felt a bit rushed, though the pace alltogether was entertaining. What bugged me during season 4b: Martha. I liked her back-story, but her character as a villain is sketchy, weird and not believeable. But I think people will enjoy her storyline in this season finale.

Let's see what season 5 will bring to the table.

No joke, I literally had to consistently remind myself that I wasn't watching a Disney movie. The thought popped into my head time and time again, "This is a weird Disney movie." I'm not joking. I honestly wish I was joking. I honestly hope this whole fiasco of trash is a joke. I have never seen a great show fall so quickly and swiftly, and so low down.

When the shot near the end of the episode mirrored the shot of Madison, Strand, Nick, Alicia, and Luciana finding the baseball stadium in "No One's Gone", that's when it hit me. I felt like I just got slapped in the face with the force of 8,000 typhoons. This episode somehow felt more offensive to fans of the original Fear than the deaths of Nick and Madison did. Never have I seen more stupid decisions, more god awful dialogue, more "of-course" moments, more """"""""poetic"""""""" garbage being spewed by characters with so little life or soul in them, more awful cliches and tropes that should've been worn out in the '80s.

I really can not see how the showrunners (Gimple included) can think in their right minds that this is good television, or that these are good characters, or that this is a good story. I always try my best to see how other people might like something even if I don't, and if you personally enjoyed this episode then more power to you, but I can not see any objective bits of merit here. The grey filter remained. The Gimple-ogue remained. The awful characters remained. Everything that made this season awful remained. And a season's build up of going to Alexandria is completely destroyed in one nonchalant sentence ten minutes before the episode's end, in favour of a LITERALLY NEVER-BEFORE HEARD OF DENIM FACTORY.

I don't have closing thoughts. I just needed to rant.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Althea ("Al") keeps obsessing about video taping everything possible, but what's she planning to do when there are no more batteries to run the cameras or play back the videos? Nobody's manufacturing batteries any more, and the ones still in existence won't stay good forever. If she were really concerned with preserving people's history, she'd be writing down their stories.

Save yourself and don't waste your time watching this show anymore. It's about as exciting as watching someone take a trip to Pittsburgh by train.

Done with this show. The sooner they cancel it, the better. Time to scuttle this ship for everyone's sake.
