This was one of the greatest TV episodes of any TV show that I have ever seen in my entire life - definitely on my top 20 list of BEST TV EPISODES OF ALL TIME.

The episode was just flawlessly done and perfectly captured the antithesis between Pacifism (Morgan) and kill or be killed mentality (Carol) in a post-apocalyptic world. It's no wonder Carol is one of my favourite characters on the show. The Walking Dead has been such a treat since the beginning of season 5. If the writing continues in this direction, this season may actually cement the Walking Dead as one of the greatest, if not "the greatest", TV show of all time.

If I could give the episode 20/10, I would; it was even better than the Season 5 opener with Terminus.

As a fan of the comics, even though I know where the story is heading in the general sense, I love how the show switches things around a bit so that I can't predict what will happen next. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say the show played around with the order of events a little bit - I always seem to like the changes, however, as well as the slight additions to the story. For example, the Wolves actually aren't characters in the comics, and neither is Terminus (In the comics the Terminus group are actually called 'the Hunters', a marauding group of cannibals that Rick disposes of very quickly- so I think the show handled the "hunters" much better than the comics, and dare I say, I think the show's rendition of the Wolves equals or even surpasses some of Robert Kirkman's best writing in the comics regarding certain other groups - for those who haven't read the comics, you'll see soon enough - no spoilers). Those are just some examples to prove how the show is sometimes better than the actual source material, although that isn't always the case if I'm picky. Generally though, I prefer the show to the comics because for one, live action story telling is much more effective for ingratiating us with the characters, and secondly, the actors are just phenomenal.

With that said, I'm a little worried for the show's future now that it's slowly catching up to the source material; season 6 will come very close to the last comic book issues published this year, and as a fan I have some concerns. For instance, I wonder if the writing will be as good in season 7 and 8 (if the show goes that far) once the writers no longer have comic book source material to draw upon. I really hope it will; I mean, the show has done a great job adding to the story already, so I have faith that they'll come up with something great if need be. Regardless, I hope Robert Kirkman gets off his arse and starts writing more of those damn comics. The success of the show depends upon him - we all saw what happens when you don't have great source material for a zombie show - you end up with Fear the Walking Dead, which any real zombie fan must admit is a complete crap shoot - not that it can't get better, but that it certainly didn't get off to a good start.

Folks, THIS was the REAL Walking Dead tonight, and, if things continue as they are in season 6, 7, and 8, the Walking Dead will certainly become top on my list for greatest TV series of all time (that's right, even above Breaking Bad!). Enough said.

While Rick, Daryl, Tara and Abraham herd the walkers through the road to a distant point far from Alexandria, life goes on in the community. Out of the blue they are attacked by The Wolves that slaughter great part of the residents. Carol, Maggie, Carl and the survivors try to defend the community while Morgan returns and stops the truck horn that is attracting the walkers from blowing. Will they be capable to protect the compound and the Alexandrians from the scavengers that got inside the wall?

"JSS" is a gore episode of The Walking Dead directed by Jennifer Chambers Lynch, David Lynch's daughter and director of "Boxing Helena". "Surveillance" and "Chained" among others. Morgan that does not want to kill people despite they are killing their acquaintances is kind of incoherent in an attack of savages that lost their humanity a long time ago. Now the Alexandrians have learned the importance of knowing how to defend themselves from the outside world, walkers or psychos. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "JSS"

Note: On 22 April 2016, I saw this show again.

This episode once again proves how anything can happen in this show! It starts of as a usual episode, but suddenly develops into an intense battle of survival!

This was honestly a very well made with incredible action, strengthed by great camera work, direction and set-pieces!

This felt like a slasher movie, as people with Axel, machetes, knives and bats, went on a rampage! It was bloody and gory, with blood dominating most scenes!

Humans are the greatest threat, and the wolves proved that! Sometimes you fight.. or you die, cause you camt reason with anyone!

I was intrigued by Morgans character, who never wanted to kill anyone, even in lifethreatening situations!

This episode kept up the great start to season 6 with even more action and intensity!

'The Walking Dead' was brilliant in its prime. Consider its prime Seasons 1-5, even if Season 5 has not quite been as consistent. As has been said frequently, and it is worth reiterating because "feeling like a completely different show" declines leaves me feeling very annoyed and Seasons 7 and 8 (have yet to watch Season 9 until reviewing all the previous episodes) of 'The Walking Dead' is one of the biggest declines for any show.

Season 6 was inconsistent but boasted a lot of fantastic elements that made it more than watchable. Also thought it started off brilliantly, absolutely loved the previous episode "First Time Again" and love "JSS" just as much (perhaps even more), as one can gather those two are among the sixth season's best and among the latter seasons' best too. Like "First Time Again", "JSS" has a lot going on, is taut, is uncompromisingly tense, emotional and is exceptionally well made (actually stands out on that front), like the best of 'The Walking Dead'. Can totally see why it was critically acclaimed, even if it is more mixed here, and it deserves it in my opinion.

"JSS", as always with 'The Walking Dead' is superb in the production values. Not as unique as the previous episode's, The gritty and audacious production design still remains, photography worthy of a film, suitably frightening make-up and visuals that don't look amateurish in any way and like they were made with heart and effort. The music is haunting and affecting, without being intrusive. The direction is some of the best of the whole of 'The Walking Dead' up to this point, both visually and providing the right amount and kind of drama.

What really stands out here is some of the most tense and terrifying storytelling of Season 6, of the latter seasons and in the whole of 'The Walking Dead', in the assault on Alexandria. So unexpected and with plenty of intensity, the Wolves also genuinely frightening. Enid's backstory is intriguing too and the action is edge of your seat worthy in how thrilling it is.

Loved the contrasting views of particularly Carol and Morgan, and Melissa McBride and Lennie James' powerful performances help enormously. The writing is as taut as can be and the dialogue-driven scenes didn't come over as too talky to me. The story is always compelling, Denise's dilemma is not as strongly done as the rest of the story elements but showed a lot of promise. The character interaction is tense and emotional.

In conclusion, superb episode and indicative of a very promising start to Season 6. 10/10

Whilst half the town are out shifting the zombies out of the quarry we see what is happening in Alexandria.

This is another brutal, downbeat episode, but it has some strong character moments and is very compelling.

It is hard to say that I enjoyed it, as it contains so much gruesome people on people violence, but it is done with strong action suspense that it keeps you on edge.

Carol has another chance to shine and she is depicted as back in the zone of heroism that she entered in 'No Sanctuary'. Melissa McBride gives another tremendous portrayal of an action-queen up there with Ellen Ripley.

Morgan is both cool as a staff-wielding warrior and frustrating with his 'all life is precious attitude' in the midst of such chaos. It makes me wonder if his presence will be a replacement for the ever lasting humanity that was Tyreese. If so I hope they do not repeat the same sort of arc. After 5 seasons, conflicts between idealism and pragmatism (I feel after 5 seasons) feel a bit repetitive. However, it is a bit early to judge and Lennie James does a great job in the role.

I won't say anything further about the plot as I have been skirting the edge of spoilers so far. What I would like to see in the next few episodes is some sort of background on the primary antagonists shown in this episode.

All performances and production values were great as ever.

Looking at the latest episode I realized how strong the force of habit is. It's been far too long since I actually thought this show was going somewhere but still I tag along hoping for something. Sure, some episodes, like this one, are quite good and engages you for a little while the main plot is idling along. The problem is that every exciting episodes are re-hash of previous plot turns and by now it's getting kind of stale.

Rick and co. find a haven that has to be defended against zombies and/or other living humans. Rick has mental breakdown, what is good or evil in a world where survival is the only law blah blah blah… the gang eventually has to abandon their safe space and once again prowl the world beyond. Sound familiar?

Like I said, it's not that the episodes themselves are always bad, it's that there is no sense of overarching plot development at all and every eventual hint that the plot is actually going somewhere turns out to be a dead end. So we go back to the same old dull road again. The minuscule character-development isn't enough to carry this show. Rick has painstakingly slowly been loosing his sense of humanity for at least five damn seasons now so that hardly counts.

Anyway, I'll probably keep watching like the idiot I am since I'm way too invested in the show to back out now. Maybe next season will be better… is what I have been thinking for too long. I never learn.

Has anyone else noticed that Maggie acts and talks like his father with his mimics and everything in the first scene of her? It is a detail that most of the directors on Netflix do not even care about. Another example is when Morgan asks for the peanut bar that Michonne ate, and Carl gets mad at her because she stole someone's food far back in the past. Remembering the moment felt so precious to me, if it was even my memory with someone, and it melted my heart. The other thing was when Glenn knew there were spare batteries in the RV and Abraham asked how he knew that Glenn smiled. It referenced the scenes in which Dale teaches Glenn about RVs, and it was also worth noticing. I am amazed at how much they care about this kind of detail.

As Carol goes about a daily routine, the Wolves ambush the community. Carol immediately switches to survival mode. She disguises herself as a Wolf, while killing any intruder she comes across. Morgan is shocked and disgusted by her actions; he only beats down the trespassers, sparing their lives. Morgan manages to scare off the remaining Wolves, but one takes a gun before leaving. Morgan encounters their leader Owen, whom he met prior, in a nearby house. He brutally strikes the man with his staff, possibly killing him.

Enid, feeling the community is unsafe, decides to leave. As she tells Carl goodbye, she is forced to barricade in his house. After the chaos settles, Carl finds a farewell note from Enid: "Just Survive Somehow", it reads.

"JSS" is a standout episode that focuses on the residents of Alexandria as they face a deadly attack from the Wolves, a group of ruthless survivors. The episode is notable for its intense and brutal action sequences, as the residents must fight for their lives against the heavily armed attackers. One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Carol, disguised as one of the Wolves, single-handedly takes out several attackers using stealth and cunning.

The episode also explores themes of survival and community, as the residents must come together to defend their home against the external threat. Additionally, the episode delves into the idea of identity and morality, as Carol struggles with the consequences of her actions and the toll it takes on her conscience. Overall, "JSS" is a gripping episode that highlights the characters' resilience and their willingness to do whatever it takes to protect their home and each other.

I don't understand how this episode got a rating > 9. Just because the episode had action and a few zombie and human kills, it does not deserve a 9. The lazy writing is clearly a factor for the downfall in quality of the episode.

Stay with me, let me explain how - We have seen episode 1 of this season that already happened in the future and it is slightly frustrating to see the events that occurred in the past of this show's time line. Why would a typical show watcher watch the past for an hour and be okay with it.

IF you have seen this episode already, you'd agree with me that episode 1 and episode 2 could have been clubbed together into a beautiful parallel screenplay ( a classic movie making style that parallel-ly shows the events happening at two locations). Thus, the tension would have been high too, but NO; The screen writers just got too lazy to develop and relied on Nolan's Memento Screen play style for episode 1 and a new screenplay altogether for this episode which does not gel with events happened in episode 1.

I know I'd get a lot of down-votes from the fan-boys, but just take a moment and think about the severe quality dip in the show. (Just watch season 1 and season 2 of this TV series and also think why this TV show is kicked off the top 100 TV shows)

I'm done with this show ... I'm not watching it anymore, I'm not recording it, done. I just don't think people would act like this in this situation. The writers might want to do a little study of human nature, maybe read some war literature or some accounts of disaster survival. People would band together against a common enemy, defeat that enemy and then worry about killing each other again. This is stupid, ridiculous. It is contrary to the basic tenets of human nature. This is just pissing me off. I'll go watch The Leftovers. At least the characters act in ways that make sense. This is total nonsense.

On top of that, the characters themselves make idiotic decisions. Their personal decisions make zero sense. Everything they do is the last way anyone with any sense would act. What a bunch of jackasses. The human race deserves to wink out if this is the best it can offer. But of course people wouldn't act is way. They would adapt, endure and move on. That is the history of the human race. That is how we conquered this planet.

Even the invaders, what is their angle? What is their payoff? THERE IS NONE. Ridiculous crap ...

It is an unfortunate thing. Episode two is the destruction. and how this invader knew when to poke is subject to scrutiny.

I believe there is a traitor in the midst. A traitor in the form of a little girl, who seem innocent, quiet but seems to be hiding something. Mysterious. Shady. So I'm betting she's the one. My suspection was even made more strong when that suspected person left the scene of the crime.

Now that's done. Another debate that would keep the discussion going is a subject of morality.

In this episode, we see two characters on different sides. An the invasion goes to action, it is left to the two to spoil the enemies plan. But them duo have opposite directives on going at it. One is to capture and so not kill, the other shows no mercy.

Are you on the latter cause I am. There are situations that you are able to do that, you know, capture them bad people doing bad things, cause there is an opportunity in it. But, there are times when you are not given the time at all. And so that scenario, like the one in episode two, was one where you'd either choose the life to the other, and it's not a dilemma at all, which you'd choose.

Here is another issue I noticed in this. The one that's philosophy is not to kill no matter what, one of the two that's doing the saving, is a difficult philosophy to follow. And if chosen to guide your whole life, then you'd subject your life to a series of headaches. You care for every life, but if you have to choose, a life for the other, and that other is going to kill that other. Which would you choose? Of course you can try the none lethal way, no matter how dangerous it is that every minute counts to save another life. To me this is flawed.

I have nothing to say really because this show no longer deserves the attention it once garnered. This show has become complacent and lazy. It is showing in the writing from last season into this season. S1-S4 had some very stellar and compelling episodes that showed how great this show could become. But after episode 5 of S5 it all went downhill. It became nothing more then showmanship for a certain sect of the overall viewer ship/audience. If Rick was in every episode and remained the sole focus of the show maybe it would still be on a path to greatness.

Kudos to all that are still watching.
