The World Before

This is indeed a slower episode but as an episode of the TWD it's one of the better this season. The story moves on and the cliffhanger was interesting.

I hope that the second part of the 10th season will be paced faster.

This was a slower episode, but leading up to a great second half of the season. Kang certainly knows what she's doing. And still the trolls and morons give everything low ratings-1s and 2s-really? So why bother to watch a show that is clearly so interesting and intelligent-and well done-that its way beyond your mental capacity? If you want to slag something off, look in the mirror. Imbeciles: if you don't like it, don't watch it. Don't inflict your obvious mental problems on the people who like it. We aren't the problem. You are.

It's like.. the episode before the Mid-Season Finale. There are some new things that was introduced in this episode. But it's just too little fpr finale. although it still better than "The Storm".

Personally, unpopular opinion it MAY be, I really enjoyed this episode!!!! I thought the storylines had such a meaning and were amazing (a culmination of what we've already witnessed in this first half). I found myself on the edge of my seat with every twist and turn the story took, amazingly recurrent cinematography with this Cold War vibe lingering throughout. I was amazed and very pleased at the same time how they executed certain culminating stories promptly and not dragging them out. As a consistent and committed TWD fan through the highs and apparent lows, I thoroughly enjoyed this mid season finale which gave a new take on what's on that feeling of the season.... SO FAR!!!

In flashback, Alpha assigns Dante to infiltrate in Alexandria. In the present days, he will stab Siddiqi's head when Rosita arrives in the room interrupting him. Meanwhile Siddiq reanimates while Dante and Rosita fight each other. Gamma and Aaron meet each other again and she gives the location of the horde expecting to see her nephew. Daryl interrogates Dante with Gabriel and Carol. Lydia is still missing. Michonne heads to Oceanside with a group and they stop at a library to get some books. Gabriel has an encounter with Dante in the cell with tragic consequences. Daryl and his group head to the location of the horde and when Carol sees Alpha, she hunts her down and the group follows her in a deadly cave.

"The World Before" is a cliffhanger episode of "The Walking Dead". The fate of traitor Dante is one of the best parts of the episode. The impulsive Carol again jeopardizes her friends. The end of the episode is a great introduction of the next season. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Mundo Antes" ("The World Before")
