Here is our review…
How much more punishment can these people take?
), to have all of this emotional noise, so much tension in these characters.
Maggie cant even properly mourn without a zombie interrupting her solitude.
Death follows Sasha, who in one season has lost both a lover and her brother.
She comes across a bunch of dead frogs in a dried stream and buries them.
Behind them, a flock of walkers, following their every move, like obedient sheep.
Really, the message is as subtle as a hammer to the head (too soon?
): death follows this group everywhere they go.
A change of scenery isnt going to do them any good.
Sidenote: I dont think Ive ever watched a show where the characters were forced to eat dog meat.
HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE?
Maggie asks Sasha, How much longer do we have?
Maggie has lost her faith.
I dont have tell you who she turned away, right?
Whats that girls story?
Unlike the zombie bicycle girl from season 1, this girl probably wont get a webisode.
That sounds awfully like the thinking of a walker doesnt it?
You know what happens to characters who lose their humanity on this show.
Were not friends, she says.
He always copes with loss by becoming the outsider again.
Its perfect that he has to force himself to cry by inflicting physical pain on himself.
The physical really drives the emotional for him.
Should the group just learn to accept their shitty fates?
Is this episode them accepting how they have to live?
We do what we need to do for live, he tells them.
Its the first time in a nice while that weve heard Rick deliver a speech to his troops.
Which is perfectly followed by Daryls declaration that We aint dead.
At least I think about this every time I sit down for another hour of these peoples suffering.
Every hour these people dont find a reprieve from their terrible existence, it weighs heavier on my soul.
There has to be some light in all of the darkness.
Or else this show is going to tumble deeper into torture porn.
Can someone get these people a monolith?
Theyre the first three people to run and hold down the doors before the storm can tear them down.
Daryl fixes Maggies new music box.
Then Maggie finds a spark of hope in the morning to talk Sasha off a metaphorical ledge.
Were going to make it, she says, and its powerful, as they watch the sunset.
Its a good ending to an episode that is a big drag.
The show desperately needs some good.
