The Review at the End of the Universe
‘The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life’ The Walking Dead finally gives us the start of the war this season has promised us and ‘the first day of the rest of your life’ is where it all starts. This is what we had been building to all season; Rick finally had his guns…
“Something They Need” The Walking Dead covers a lot of ground this week rounding things up to get us ready for the season finale. This episode was our last round trip between the main players of this season with ‘Bury Me Here‘ bringing everyone up to speed in the Kingdom and ‘The Other Side‘ covering…
“The Other Side” The Walking Dead Catches up with the people of the Hilltop and more importantly picks up with Sasha and Rosita planning to take down Negan. The first five minutes of ‘The Other Side’ follows the settlers of the Hilltop as they go about their daily lives without dialogue. This montage really shows…
‘Bury Me Here’ The Walking Dead continues the trend of hopping between locations and factions. It’s time to catch up with Morgan and the people of the Kingdom. ‘Bury Me Here’ was about bringing the Kingdom into the fight that is to come. I can understand Ezekiel’s position of not wanting to fight the Saviors as…
‘Say Yes’ The Walking Dead follows on from ‘New Best Friends‘ with Rick and Michonne out hunting for weapons to take to the people of the Garbage Pit so they will fight Negan and the Saviors alongside them. Meanwhile there are tough choices to be made back in Alexandria for Rosita and Tara. ‘Say Yes’…
‘Hostiles and Calamities’ Since The Walking Dead returned from its mid-season break we have not been back to ‘The Sanctuary’ and this week we got our third tour of the facility. Our first experience was Daryl’s torture and captivity showing us how they indoctrinate their new recruits into serving Negan and how they pay their…
“Sing Me A Song” The latest episode of The Walking Dead was a lot better than it has been recently, particularly as they dropped the annoying habit of only telling the story of either one person or a small group of people per episode. We got to see a few more characters in “Sing me…
“Swear” In the latest instalment of The Walking Dead, Tara stumbles upon a community made up of women only. “Swear“ was a stronger episode than the last two with a better story and better written. Alana Masterson put in a good performance and added a bit of humour to the series. Before this week we…
“Go Getters” The latest episode of The Walking Dead was a massive filler episode and the weakest of the season so far. In “Go Getters”, too much time was spent on secondary characters with scenes that dragged on for too long and scenes crowbarred in to the episode that didn’t really benefit the story at…
“The Cell” The latest instalment of The Walking Dead focuses in part on the situation Daryl finds himself in as one of Negan’s prisoners. I think it’s also fair to say that The Cell was more about Dwight than it is about Daryl. It gives us a sense of what kind of man Dwight is…
