This episode once again proves that this is a downbeat, dull, poorly acted, and horribly written show. This is garbage in comparison to The Walking Dead. This show seems to be focusing entirely on the drama between the families. There's only one problem with this: none of it lands. Perhaps its because its very hard to feel any connection for these characters, but none of the drama in this episode (or any of them for that matter) actually worked (especially the interactions between the teenagers, which was immorally cringe- worthy). I didn't find any of this episode gripping, and the two leads were just awful. Madison was just moping around and redundant in this episode, and Travis was as dull and uninteresting as ever. It was all very slowly paced, although at least there was a glimmer of plot development in this episode (which is new), but barely anything, and it all happened very slowly. Not at all gripping.
It's laughable that this show bares almost no action, and in some ways this episode was no exception. There were hints of fights between soldiers and zombies going on, but the frustrating thing was that we only heard a couple of sounds as we were forced to stare at Travis looking scared for ages. The whole "cobalt" reveal was entirely unbelievable, and I had to try hard not to laugh at the idea of that when it was revealed. One scene between Chris and Alicia was kind of fun, yet seemed completely out of nowhere. The only redeeming feature of this episode (and the only reason it's not getting one star from me) is the plot involving Daniel Salazar, which was actually effective and entertaining for the most part. Presently he's the only character I care for, and thankfully this was his episode to shine in. Although asides from that, there was nothing to enjoy here.
