This COULD have been Walking Dead's pivotal moment. This COULD have been the big refresher this show needed. This COULD have been the greatest episode of all time. So what went wrong?
AMC.
Since they decided to leave the last season off on a cliffhanger instead of just giving us the moment we've all been waiting for, they decided to stuff some more cash into their pockets, laughing all the way to the bank.
There were some real bad things that went down this episode, but I felt no emotion while watching any of it. The emotional intensity for the finale was perfect, but instead of giving us that punch, they said, "LOL see you in 7 months!" Now I feel no emotions for this show anymore.
There were also some very action-esque moments that are impossible to do in this reality or our own, which also drew me out of the episode.
HOWEVER, the redeeming factors of this episode are the performances of Jeffery Dean Morgan and Andrew Lincoln. These two actors are, admittedly, phenomenal in this episode.
Otherwise, I just feel... empty. This was the highest point in the comics, but in the show, it just feels like a void. I really don't know how else to describe it.
Maybe if I watch it a second time and like it more I'll change my rating to a 7, but right now, I'm just disappointed. Shame on you, AMC.
