It definitely feels like more tonight, might just be because whats happened between the commercials has been so pointless.

Seriously, the get captured from behind week after week after week is just getting stupid. Now they do it twice in the same episode.

Going to watch the finale then need to reconsider investing in this more. It does have the "nothing else on Sunday night thing" going for it.

So much this. Not very entertained anymore since every episode has the same concept.

Another brutally worthless episode with next to nothing as far as plot advancement. And the mental/emotional breakdown of Carol is just stupid. This show is getting to the point where you can watch the premier, the mid-season cliff hanger, and the finale and pretty much know everything that is going on without suffering through episode after episode of people wandering around like ******* morons and getting captured/escaping random groups of undead or bandits.

Agree. Pretty boring episode. Which sucks, because there have been some sweet episodes.... but then they're followed up back to back by duds like these. It's making me really root for people to get "offed" now.

Last night - while I enjoyed the tension of the Carol scene, and the intro montage at the start with Johnny Cash was great.... Carol and Daryl both going off alone, predictably leading to the others going after them and some of them getting captured - that was just annoying and clearly contrived to get our folks in a vulnerable position and captured by the Saviors.

Not exactly brilliant story telling there, just filler to the finale. I'd prefer a couple of character centric episodes to filler. Ah well, the finale should get good - they really need to establish Saviors as a real threat, because right now the body count is like 50 to 1, and every time they "capture" our guys they end up massacred.

So the Savior who was shot in the shoulder and followed Rick and Morgan into the field, how did Rick not meet him on his way back home?

Someone is going to die. My money is on Carol. They have pretty much ruined her as a character anyways with this whole "Redemption" arc. I think they shoehorned in the whole romance thing to give a little extra emotional jolt when she gets killed.
