Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBuraz is Croat for brother, and burazi is the plural form of said word.
- GoofsNegan says "neckbeard" in an insult. The word came to prominence in the early-to-mid-2010s (2011-2015) due to online culture, after the zombie apocalypse occurred in the Walking Dead's universe (2010).
- Quotes
Negan Smith: [Negan mocks the Burazis by assuming both the role of Questioner and Respondent in the "Knock-Knock" joke refrain] Now, where the hell was I? Oh. Right. Knock, knock!...
[Mimicking response]
Negan Smith: Who's there?...
[Normal voice]
Negan Smith: Butter...
[Mimicking response]
Negan Smith: Butter who?...
[Normal voice]
Negan Smith: Well, you butter get out your umbrellas 'cause it is about to goddamn rain.
[People gagging]
Negan Smith: [Blood splattering] Now, I don't know if any of you have checked tonight's forecast, but if I see even one mole hair on one of your ugly ass faces, it won't be just a rainstorm. Hell, it won't be a thunderstorm. It'll be a goddamn hurricane!
Overall, the pacing of the episode still feels a little weird at times and a scene will either feel like it went by within seconds, while some other scenes feel incredibly dragged out like.
But that, is my one and only criticism of the entire episode.
The dialogue is superb, finally after years of the main series ended, and finally since episode 1 season 7 of TWD do the writers allow non-dialogue scenes where the actors and actresses are able to fully emerge themselves into the characters they play. The episode doesn't shy away from letting you sit there and come with your own interpertation of what just happened in the scene prior.
The Croat has a cool backstory in a way, and while I do still crave for more, more story, more shown, more twists and turns, I for the first time in many years feel confident in saying that the writers have made sure there is much much more to come.
In comparison with how I would view the average walking dead episode, this one stands up there with 'too far gone' and 'A' to me.
