On my first viewing I rated this an 8 I believe and said so many good things about it but honestly I was wrong, the season finale had the potential to be amazing but the writers failed us the viewers and the show.
Michael E. Satrazemis, a veteran behind the camera for the two shows directed this season finale and he couldn't help the bad script he got he did a good job at directing, the writing was as I wrote before bad but the western themes and atmosphere was enjoyable. The horde with zombies is a plus and brings some Fear back to the show, but wasn't suspenseful enough.
I have said bad things about the episode, the writing that is. Let's move on to the positive stuff and it's the cinematography, camera work, sound mixing and its musical score. You need solid writing for an episode to work and all that positive stuff couldn't help. I leave the episode a 5 because of that, plus the actors did a good with what they got.
The showrunners have done a good job at world building and creating likeable and great characters, but what they haven't done a good job with is creating a story that's worth following as it have only been about trying to save people which is a good story to tell but they failed with both that and the feeling of hope that they wanted these two seasons to stand for. The ending for this season makes us look forward to season 6 as everything have really gone to that point but they haven't done a good job with these two seasons, having seen the first episode of season 6 when I'm writing this review I'll just say that it's incredible and so much better than this season combined.
