Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Crossed" is the first episode of Season 5 with all main characters in it.
- GoofsAfter Beth is given the key to the drug locker by Dawn, Beth goes and asks Dr. Edwards what medication he would give to Carol to at least give her a fighting chance to recover. When he finally agrees he tells Beth that giving Carol 5 mg epinephrine IV drip will help lower her pulse and blood pressure. This is totally incorrect, epinephrine is a synthetic form of adrenaline, which acts as a stimulant, so it would make her blood pressure and pulse increase, not decrease. Plus the dose he tells Beth to give Carol would most likely kill her. The average dose of epinephrine used even for the most severe allergic reactions is 0.5 mg, so he told Beth to use a dose that is ten times what is normally used. Also Edwards tells Beth that the epinephrine is to be given as a drip, which means it is supposed to be injected into the IV bag so that it can be administered over time, however Beth injects the epinephrine directly into the IV line which would give her the entire dose at once and would almost certainly send Carol into cardiac arrest.
- Quotes
[Tara and Glenn discuss Eugene's big lie]
Tara Chambler: Listen, I don't know what to do without D.C. anymore, but I'm not dealing with him. I'm over it. I just want him to be okay. Eugene wasn't strong. He isn't fast. He doesn't know how to use a weapon. The truth hurts, but he's useless. He had one skill that kept him living. Are we suppose to be mad at him 'cause he used it?
Glenn Rhee: Damn right.
I agree with the other reviews, that the story might not have progressed as much as you might want, but let me tell you the unique fact about this episode.
Since last season there was no episode that tried to contain all characters and take us through the story. This episode is unique that way by trying and excelling in doing so. This sort of screenplay keeps the audience at edge of seats, teasing and making to want more of each episode. The hospital, the fire engine, the church and Rick's attempt in getting Beth out of hospital were all knit into a beautiful screenplay.
Some more positive aspects are the new graphic Zombie imagery, Gabriel's character build and the excellent cinematography.
Rick, Daryl, Glen, Maggie, Carl, Michonne, Beth, Tyreese, Rosita, Father Gabriel are definitely setting the stage for finale.
