New Haunts

What was the point of Part 1 with the Reapers? What a pointless waste of time, they could've scrapped all that nonsense and focus on the Commonwealth plot so they don't feel the need to rush it now.

It makes no sense whatsoever they all got to such high places in the Commonwealth in just 30 days. Somehow Connie is now a renown reporter and thinks she has a well founded opinion on how the place works? Daryl and Rosita are top-tier bodyguards for the elite? They just trust them like that after we saw how demanding the selection process to enter the colony is? It makes no sense, it's rushed.

Also, the whole antifa subplot feels like it's gonna be a massive deal of cringe. I'm afraid to keep watching and get disappointed about the end of this show.

You turn on this episode and feel like you've MISSED an episode (or maybe you turned on a whole other show by mistake)!

How is all this happening without any build-up? There's no continuity. Suddenly, all these characters are just shoved into this brand-new life in this brand-new community, and you get the feeling everything is being RUSHED big time, because it's the last season.

For instance (in season 5) they didn't just show our intrepid group walking through the woods battling walkers and eating worms, then suddenly, (right the very next show) being thrust into Deanna's world in Alexandria! No...there was a build-up to that happening. There was doubt in the minds of Rick and a lot of the others, as to whether the people in Alexandria would be "safe" and "worth the risk." After all, didn't they learn that lesson in Terminus...not just to rush into things and automatically trust people? I guess not.

Don't get me wrong. I was excited about the whole "idea" of the commonwealth. I thought it could all be very interesting. I just wonder what the rush is? It's leaving me feeling irritated and confused.

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to accept that this is what's going on and watch the show for what it is. After all, I've watched it this far. And where's Aaron and Maggie? I don't know. It all feels like sort of a mess.

By the way, I really like Princess, and was disappointed there wasn't more Princess in this episode.

Maybe it's because it's the last season, but this show is getting rated way too high, for what it's putting out.

This episode reminds me again of how utterly ludicrous it was of a plot point that Michonne abandoned her two small children in the middle of the Whisperer War, at the climax, to "maybe" find Rick. No one would do that, unless they just didn't care about their children.

Instead of Rick and Michonne, though, the series is ending with exciting plot points like "Will Daryl finally be a human being and have sex with any of these dozens of women making bedroom eyes at him?" Or "Let's learn more about Yumiko, a character we definitely don't care about since she's only been around 2 seasons."

This series should have ended 3-4 seasons ago. Nearly unwatchable "who cares?" Plot lines.

Another episode that's completely different from the last. We jump ahead six months with only the tantalising climax of the previous episode to keep us going. Otherwise this is quite ordinary, down to earth and matter of fact, building suspense and tension in places, but at other times feeling largely padded. Nice to see Darryl getting plenty of attention again, but the zombie scenes are badly shoehorned into the story and I wanted it to have a bit more drive. The characters of Hornsby and the Commonwealth are promising although they lack the suspense that Negan and his crew brought to the show. We'll see.

No one would go into a zombie fight with their very, very long hair hanging loose like Rosita. It annoys me that it's all about looking good. They lived in a zombie infestet World for many years now, and should now, that things like that could cost you your life. But it's obviously more important that the women look perfect.
