Go Getters

To be honest, all the negative points are over exaggerated, this episode is fine and even fun at times, obviously not the best, but not terrible either. It gave us abit of context of what else was going on I think it was needed, but maybe abit of better execution. I would even say it is better than one or 2 previous S7 episodes before this.

I've been defending some of the less exciting episodes of this and past seasons in the belief that all parts will eventually make a better whole. But this episode is pushing my tolerance. I'm starting to buy into the belief that this commercialised cash cow is being blatantly milked for all its worth.

I suppose its merely human nature to make the most of what you've got. Knowing 'they' have hooked a large enough audience 'they' now feel that it's OK to shove a few low budget filler episodes into each season. And the majority of hardcore fans, like myself, will begrudgingly accept this and continue watching.

I'm going to skip the next few episodes and bank them up for binge watching to relieve the current anticipation/subsequent disappointment cycle that I think will become a hallmark of this season.

If you miss this episode I don't think you will have missed much at all, and that's just not right.

Rick leaves Alexandria to scavenge for Negan and the Saviors. Meanwhile Maggie is recovered by Dr. Carson that asks her to stay with Sasha in Hilltop to rest and be monitored by him. However Gregory protests and asks them to leave the compound on the next morning despite the protests of Jesus. During the night, the Saviors open the gates of Hilltop and leave a locked car with a high volume music to attract the walkers and Sacha, Maggie and Jesus save the residents. Enid decides to leave Alexandria to visit Maggie and she is followed by Carl that has a secret agenda. When they arrive at Hilltop, the Saviors are looting the place. What will Carl do?

"Go Getters" is an episode that shows how Rick is not balanced again. This character changed a lot from the previous Seasons and it is hard to accept his numbness towards Negan and the Saviors inclusive delivering the arsenal that could protect the Alexandrians. Carl was submitted to the same experience of witnessing the death of Abraham and Glenn and has a totally different behavior. Maggie and Sacha are still the warriors from the previous Seasons. Gregory shows that he is an insidious man that can not be trusted while Jesus is brave and certainly will be an important character in this Season. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Go Getters"

4 episodes have passed since the terrible events of the first episode and we are still in the time of despair! And this is really unfortunate, 4 episodes means 4 weeks, 4 weeks that the progress of the story is zero!

It's been 4 weeks that I've seen the disappointment of the characters in the series and I don't know why the series has dropped so much.

But after seeing the end of this episode, I was a little hopeful that the next episode could be faster and more interesting, of course, if the creators don't dedicate the entire next episode to Morgan and Carol...!

In the end, congratulations should be given to the actor who played the role of Gregor because he really did a brilliant performance.

I give this episode a 7.

The 5th episode of Season 7 continues the slow build, but I feel it's leading up to an explosive second half to the season.

This episode features us catching up with the Hilltop Community with the new additions of Maggie & Sasha. Gregory the coward leader wants them gone so the Saviours won't give them a hard time, so it's up to (The Awesome) Paul 'Jesus' Rovio to step up, in his first appearance this season. Simon and the Saviours pay a visit. And Carl and Enid are on route to the colony, the latter two complete with shocking dialogue, acting and scenes these two have already shared in season's past.

Slow episode and the Simon intrusion was a repeat of last episode, but Sasha, Maggie & Paul Rovio were a welcome sight. Carl and Enid are an utter snooze fest however.
