We Are the End of the World

This is how a filler episode should be, lots of character development and a great narrative in terms of backstory and showing us another side of the large story arc of this season, The Whisperers side of things and it was an amazing experience from start to finish as we get to see more of Alpha and Beta. The acting they do is magnificent, Samantha and Ryan becomes their characters in a really stunning way, just incredible. Greg Nicotero was the perfect director for this episode as it's a very walker heavy episode and his makeup and everything zombie related was another highlight as it felt once again that the zombies were necessary for the plot, he also captured and made a visually stunning episode.

I didn't really find anything bad with this episode except that it was slow paced, but that can also be a good thing and this episode proved it. The episode felt a bit like George Romero's Living Dead movies in how many zombies and how much feeding and gore there were which I enjoyed. The new addition of Gamma seem really interesting as its a character made for the show and that means they can play around with her and I like her, the actress seem capable as she showed in this episode to hold her own. This was an incredible episode!

Okay look, I was so certain this episode was going to be one of my least favorite of the season. And I consider myself a critical reviewer when giving scores, but this episode, much to my surprise, is a 10/10.

The acting, the music, the atmosphere, the editing and cinematography, the overall storytelling; it was flawless. The only thing I can think of that would deter you from liking this episode is if you already don't care for Alpha or the Whisperers as antagonists. Other than that, I don't see how anyone could rate this episode lower than a great 8/10.

Rubbish, pure turgid rubbish. Poor dialogue, over the top acting, masks that look like Yoda with leprosy. This series is as doctors put it on patients notes CTD, circling the drain.

Seriously walking dead is going downhill. The antagonists from this season and last, the Whisperers, are about as compelling and interesting as paint drying. They are shallow characters and don't present a real threat. simply firing at groups of walkers with rifles would frighten away any whisperers in those groups.

And AMC is wondering why ratings among important demographics are crashing?

We know it's just a filler episode, but there's no need to rate it in low ratings because it doesn't deserve it. We learn more about the Whisperers and how Alpha and Beta met. The episode is very well acted, it has a great atmosphere and the plot is written. Overall, don't believe the reviews who wanted to destroy the show!
