*** FULL SPOILERS ***
Yay, two throwaway characters dead just like that. And this episode had some good unintentional comedy.
"They just want me to change! ...maybe I should make a change." Terrible child acting as always and some of the same mediocre dialogue/behavior the writers/directors want you to believe. Case in point: the scene where Mika and Lizzie are sitting on a bench after Carol and Tyreese tell em to stay put. Mika's like "they'll be OK". Uhhh, what??? Lizzie didn't appear distressed or anything.
As a whole it was a decent episode if you can overlook the dialogue and human behavior. The plotting, atmosphere, and cinematography were well done, so that's why I'm giving it a 5/10. But, as I said, the dialogue and human behavior still leave much to be desired. This series has been extremely contrived, forcing bizarre shifts in character when they want a character to die or relocate. I get that they were trying to say Lizzie is a psychopath, but the acting just didn't convey that. All this time, it felt more like she was being stubborn or for some odd reason just believed zombies were 'ok'. At one point, I felt like the writers would reveal some past trauma that caused her to believe this, but it never came, and so the huge twist that she's a psychopath killer came kind of out of nowhere for me, and it was really only slightly alluded to when, she provided some unintentional comedy as I called it, just a few scant moments before she murders Mika.
