Yeah good episode, but the terrible decisions never end. Why not just kill each of those walkers in the damn pool BEFORE going into the water? You know, stand along the edge and easily stab them in the head...... I don't know why they contrive these nonsensical moments when anyone living in this apocalypse should be wayyyyyyy smarter by now. Another writing choice that could have been handled better, as usual.Wow, that was a great, I wish tonight was two eps.
Well, aside from going up a water slide.
I still enjoy TWD but the Negan arc dragged on too long and they could kill about 3/4 of the characters and I wouldn't really care.
This season has been so much better than anything from Walking Dead's most recent season. Interesting characters, zombies that feel like a threat and inventive zombie action set-pieces like the waterpark this episode, actually effective intersecting storylines, etc.
Not being railroaded by needing to follow an existing roadmap means the show can do interesting stuff like actually show a community fall because it was optimistic. How often have we seen that same mindset among characters on TWD, and the community still survives? And if it does fall, it's because of outside forces like The Governor or Saviors but not from within. It looks like Fear is giving us a plotline where a group's sentiment that the community can survive leads to ruin, that maybe the leader's optimism isn't the perspective a struggling dying group should ascribe to
Nice set pieces, and the bit on the slide would be scary as hell, but once again it seems like 99% of the bad situations the characters find themselves in are purely from making boneheaded decisions.
I stand by my belief that the virus doesn't just turn you into a zombie after a die, it also reduces your self preservation instinct and decision making abilities. That's the only way I can explain why people ever get caught off guard by walkers this long after the apocalypse and constantly fucking things up. Plus, why don't people just carry a simple spear around and kill every last one they see? There were only a handful in that pool. Two people with spears could clear it out in like two minutes. There'd be no walkers left in a month if they did.
What's your excuse for them not standing along the edge of the pool and stabbing zombies in the head rather than wading through murky water to avoid them?I give them a pass on some stupid decisions so far because things are getting desperate so they are taking more risks.

The arrival of a wounded visitor in John Dorie's life forces him to change his ways.
A spear could really mess you up when confronted with a horde or a small group. This episode showed that not all kills are clean stabs. It was weird seeing Madison's daughter struggle to pull the knife out, but it explains the danger of certain weapon types.Nice set pieces, and the bit on the slide would be scary as hell, but once again it seems like 99% of the bad situations the characters find themselves in are purely from making boneheaded decisions.

He's becoming one of my favorite characters of either show.How can anyone hate John so far in this episode? He's such a bro.
Same here!
Thing is, I don't think she'd want him to go. She thinks she needs to be alone for some reason.John clearly doesn't want her to go. He should just go with her.
Damn this episode has been so good. Why did she have to leave dammit.
That was an amazing moment!
